Hells Angels arrive in Duluth area
Today is the first day of the annual Hells Angels USA Summer Ride, and folks in the Duluth area are noticing more motorcyclists than usual.
A bar, The Lost Isle, outside Carlton, 30-miles south of Duluth, is the designated headquarters for the Hells Angels USA Summer Ride. It's a gathering of up to a thousand club members and their followers before they head to the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis South Dakota.
Hells Angels have described the event as civil, and family-friendly. But law enforcement agencies statewide are geared up for trouble.
They expect motorcyclists to tour the North Shore and other parts of Minnesota before they head to Sturgis.
