If it's exagerated in the german newspaper i don't know. Probably is not.
In Denmark, Norway and Sweden there is a war going on between Hells Angels and Bandidos. A few of them has been shot to death. In that way people are scared. That's why the danish parlament had to decide a speciel law to prevent those gangs to settle down near buildings, where "normal" (whatever that is) people lives. At least i think it was something like that (i'm not a lawyer like Armand and others in this forum). In a way some of the human rights were taken away from them. It's known as the "rocker-war" and the "rocker-law" here. The police has the violence absolutely under control for quite some time (after the law was decided). I don't think it's a real problem with the violence (they only kill each other - or a neo-nazi). Besides the violence, the gangs are trying to control the drugs-market (that's why they kill) - and drugs/narcotics certainly is a problem here in Denmark (as it is all over the world).
Most people here in Denmark on bikes are young (40) (on "slow" machines - often very old bikes). The Rockers is a very little minority.
