It is a well establashed fact that outlaw bikers, rival or otherwise,
become highly aggitated when exposed to scat singing, or vocalese, if
you will.
This was just as true in 1971 as it is today.
Bringing Ms. Bailey into the mix was merely fanning the flames of a
pre-existing fire, quite simply, a bad move on the part of Long Beach
city officials.

More or less, yes, this is true.
Well, at least as I presented the strange and indeed savage tale to
you.
My uncle, Bill Moyers, yes THAT Bill Moyers, did indeed prospect for
The Gypsy Jokers MC.
He never did join, although to this day he carries a 1%er tattoo on
his right bicep, and was always a bit hazey on the details as to why.
So the rest of the story was pretty much pure conjecture on my part.
Sorry if I misled you, it's just that the tarten beach shorts bit
makes the story that much more colorful.
Call it a bit of the old poetic liscence, if you will.
Or simply blame it on over-indulgenc in ayahuasca, a problem I've long
since put in my past, on my part.
Whichever suits you.
