Here are 2 pages of small articles showing that all hoodlums are not Motorcyclists and vice versa.
Prompted by a letter from H.G. Yarnell of H.G. Yarnell Trucking Co. who wrote a letter to Floyd Clymer about an article in the Chicago Daily Tribune entitled, "Motorcycle Gang Swoops Thru Gospel Tent Meeting."
