Large gatherings of bikers descend on Fresno twice a year, once in the spring and then again in fall, the Fresno Bee reported (http://bit.ly/GEKzrW). The gatherings frequently turn violent, the newspaper said, but police blame gangs for starting some of the violence rather than the bikers themselves. The club's website was inoperable Sunday and no representative could be reached at the clubhouse. The Facebook page for the club billed the event, which began late Friday, as the "Kings of Cali Party." Old newspaper reports say Soul Brothers was formed in 1967 in East Palo Alto as a multi-racial club before moving to Stockton then Fresno. The club also has a Las Vegas chapter, whose phone rang unanswered Sunday.
