Well, no, but I think you're right. If you think about biker gangs as having associations with criminal activity, there are likely to be issues around territoriality and a delicate balance of power to maintain, even if you don't touch on the crime aspect, and if Ryan comes in all guns blazing (as it were) he's almost invariably going to tip that. Do something that causes offence, maybe, or step on someone else's toes in a way that requires retribition, and Shane is then gonna have to step up in order to maintain the integrity of his own gang in the biker hierarchy

(I also know waaaaaaaaaay too little about bikers to write this fic :DD)
