Yes, actually I was familiar with that "Joe Bar" ... in fact a Belgian
friend (Dan Julin, of Mach and then ISIS) showed it to me and translated
it... But the "Joe Bar Team" doesn't refer to a particular person - hey, if
fictitious bikers want to name their team after me, who am I to argue?

- Joe

P.S. Do you want to provide a translation for the .gif? I'd be embarrassed
to try.

There is also the "Joe Bar Team" a French comic about (french)
bikers
who meet at the "Joe Bar" (a Cafe !). To get an idea:
