Spectre and Jukebox roar down the road on their massive motorcycles, tailed by Fang, Rhino and Highlander.
Black-clad riders follow them in convoy, all wearing their distinctive leather waistcoats adorned with Winged Reaper logos.
Local residents stop and stare as the bikers buzz the leafy lanes of Hertfordshire, before pulling up and dismounting beside a local primary school.
Yet their frowns soon turn to smiles when they realise their town is not being invaded by a band of angry hell-raisers - but getting another visitation from a host of two-wheeled angels.
The Covid pandemic has seen the rise of a multitude of heroes and thousands of acts of generosity across the UK.
But few have ridden the wave of kindness quite so stylishly as the men and women of the Kaotic Angels Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club.
It is made up of serving and ex police, fire, ambulance and military personnel who share a love of bikes - and biker nicknames - and a powerful sense of community.
Originally founded in the US in 2015, the UK Nomads chapter was established in 2019, and now has offshoots across the country.
And during the chaos of lockdown this small band of brothers and sisters quietly mounted the most extraordinary effort to help the hungry, lonely and isolated.
They have fed more than 65,000 people, befriended elderly veterans, reached out to the homeless and supported domestic violence victims.
They have also grafted in local parks and school grounds, transformed gardens for disabled youngsters and PTSD sufferers and provided beds, cookers and Christmas gifts for hard-up families.
The Kaotic Angels even threw a party for a little boy whose mother was struggling and hosted a community barbecue to help neighbours get to know one another.
“There’s nothing special about what we do,” says UK President Grant “Spectre” Prest, 37, a former military serviceman and armed response police officer.
“We’ve served in our professional lives and we still believe in helping our communities in any way we can.
“So many people were struggling during lockdown that you couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
“As the old biker expression goes: ‘When life throws you a curve, lean into it.’”
Club members clearly get a huge sense of satisfaction from helping their communities.
Richard “Highander” Harvey, 48, from St Albans, said: “When we started delivering food I underestimated how amazing it would feel.
“But when you hand a meal to someone who can’t afford to feed themselves and their kids as they say a simple thank-you…it’s overwhelming.”
Chris “Fang” Pearce, 42, said: “We heard about one little lad who was turning three but his Mum couldn’t afford a birthday party.
“So we organised presents and a cake and took them round on our bikes.
"It meant the world to him, and to us.
“People tend to think of bikers as being big, hairy-arsed blokes in gangs rather than normal people who love bikes and love helping others.
“We take a lot of pride in what we do, and in each other.”
Dean “Jukebox” Prior, 38, another ex-military member agreed:
“People are quick to judge. They assume bikers are all hard nuts, but we’re really quite a soft-hearted lot. It's great to change people's perceptions.”
The club members have been regular visitors to St Nicholas Church of England Primary School in Stevenage, much to the pupils' delight.
Head Teacher Adelaide Yarwood said: “Nothing is too much trouble for the Kaotic Angels and it’s all done from the goodness of their hearts with a smile on their faces.
“They are always happy to get stuck in to the heavy gardening and helping clear the woodland at the back of the school. This is all work we just wouldn’t have been able to afford without their help.
“The children can enjoy the lovely grounds and flowers they’ve planted and I usually make videos of the guys arriving on their bikes which they love to see too.
“But the Kaotic Angels have also helped many of our vulnerable families by providing food and meals.
“They are a wonderful bunch, truly inspiring and uplifting, and, as I tell the children in assembly, their kindness makes our school and community a happier place.”
The two-wheeled angels are constantly looking at new ways to help their community. The Mirror's Rachael Bletchly met some of them at a medical training session in Stevenage where they were learning CPR and life saving skills.
They were also training in how to use defribillators as, like the Mirror, they believe they are vital part of public safety and should be more widely available.
Paramedic Michael Hearn, who was running the course with his wife Roni said the club members are “modest, big-hearted heroes.”
Roni, an advanced medic, agreed: “They have done so much for the community throughout the pandemic but always want to do more. Their kindness and commitment is really inspiring.”
Doug Bainbridge, 60, aka “Shapes” is an ex-cop and former army sergeant who served in the Falklands, Middle East and Northern Island.
He is now a Borough Councillor and the club’s Vice President.
He explained: “In my military and police career I’ve been blown up, shot at and beaten up.
“I was hospitalised with PTSD but received amazing care and I’m OK. I’m lucky - I have got everything I need.
“But I know what stress and psychological trauma does to a person, So if I can help other veterans or people on the streets, I will.
“Our club is all about giving back.
“People look at a group of bikers and think they’re up to no good, but we just want to help bring communities together.
“It’s been great to see so many people around the UK trying to do the same during the pandemic.”
But does he think this wave of kindness will ebb away now that life is starting to return to normal?
“I think kindness is a bit like a heart trace,” he says.
“It runs along relatively steadily but then a crisis occurs and it peaks, because tough times bring out the best in people.
“It’s bound to level off a bit but I think this crisis will lead to more and even higher peaks.
“Because Covid has really changed people’s attitudes towards life.
“We have found our national heartbeat again and it is making us stronger than ever.
“To be able to help a fellow human being is the most amazing thing.
“We should even be teaching kindness in schools as part of the curriculum.
“Because if we can all be nicer to each other the world will be a better place.”
