Hells Angels bikers are notorious these days for scaring the crap out of every police force in the country when they announce their visit. We watched as officials panicked over their potential to destroy towns, cause mass chaos and cause crimes left and right.

Lately this group's bark has been much bigger than their bite, partly for their own public relations campaign, some say. But that can lead to problems when police try to watch them a little too closely as they go about their legal and quite normal vacationing activities.

Police were doing all the prep work they could prior to the arrival of the Hells Angels bike gang up near Cloquet. The last thing anyone wanted was a group of biker punks leaving their town in shambles, but you can't deny any excitement from businesses just desperate for some revenue.

While they carry around a pretty scary past, the last rides have been pretty uneventful or featured isolated problems. And as no surprise to most, the visit to northern Minnesota went smooth with no major crimes to report.

That's their mode of public relations, some say.
