   The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club has lost a bid to hang on to their old   
   clubhouse on Eastern Ave.   
   The Ontario Court of Appeal quashed a court challenge on Friday by the   
   bikers to win back their fortified clubhouse in the east end near the   
   Don Valley Parkway.   
   Club lawyer Lenny Hochberg said he will ask his clients whether they   
   want to try to take their fight to the Supreme Court of Canada.   
   The clubhouse was the property of the Old Navy Corporation, which is not   
   connected to the well-known clothing chain of the same name. The   
   corporation, which controlled the Eastern Ave., building was run by   
   members of the downtown Toronto charter of the international outlaw bike   
   club, federal lawyers argued.   
      
   Federal lawyers Tom Andreopoulos and Niall Gilks cautioned the court   
   that it should not view the stark cinder block building as any sort of   
   residence.   
   “The property was the quintessential example of real property as   
   offence-related property,” they argued. “It was not a residence by any   
   conventional stretch of the imagination, but was instead a fortified   
   bunker and served as the pivot point around which multiple designated   
   substance offences revolved.”   
   Barring a successful appeal of the decision, the province can now sell   
   off or develop the property.   
   The bikers effectively lost control of the building in April 2007, when   
   dozens of police with battering rams burst in and seized control as part   
   of a project against drug trafficking.   
   In the trial that followed, the downtown Angels’ charter was not declare   
   a criminal organization but several members were found guilty of   
   drug-related offences.
