Villagers win speed battle against noisy bikers

OFF THE WIRE
Run for your lives! "Hells Angels-style bikers?" I guess someone should start one of those stupid what kind of so and so are you? It can be, what kind of biker style are you...but suggest getting permission first or you may end up being categorized as a weekend SOA patch wearer.

Residents of a Welsh village have won a battle against Hells Angels-style bikers - by getting a slower speed limit on the road to their roadside hangout. Dozens of bikers zoom along the quiet country road on their huge Harley Davidsons and other souped-up choppers.

But families living next to the biker hangout - the Steelhorse Caf� at the village of Llanfihangel Gobion near Abergavenny, South Wales - are fed up with the noise. The battling neighbours drew up a 600-strong petition to get the speed limit dropped.
