Don't know for sure, but I imagine the water dogs
are one of the poser groups that were so frequent
during all the "custom chopper " and harley gang
fad/furor of a few years ago
They probably did some something the Bandidos
took exception to as a public affront
Some years back I worked for a company that
the big dogs were trailer bikers. Had the bikes
transported to a distant event and were either driven
to the closer ones or took a private jet to the farther
ones. They'd change into their dirty greasy clothes
and mount up and roar in as if they'd spent days
on the highway.
They got in a fix in a real biker bar several states
away trying to portray some grungy road dogs
and got caught by some genuine OLMG types
that saw their charade
Oh well. Lots of people dress up like pirates
and knights of old and cartoonish characters
these days. Those usually don't get an a$$
whuppin in an out of state bar though.
