They are the CMA's Christian Motorcyclists Association. They are good people out for a good cause.. If you have a bell hanging then what the heck why not..

If it is Christian bikers laying hands on and praying over a motorcycle, I really don't know where that is supported in scripture. Maybe one of the CMA guys can point that out here or maybe start a thread about it on the Religious forum.

I s'pose actually praying for the bike might be akin to offering a prayer for the harvest, or something similar. That type of prayer could be considered scriptural.
In this neck of the woods the CMAers do a lot of service work at the big rallies. We'll do the registrations, have a hospitality tent with free coffee, water, etc., clean up around the rally site, possibly have a "kid's tent" (yeah, some people bring their younkers to a rally), and whatever else the rally organizers ask of us. The R.O.T. folks depend on CMA to provide services such as these, and give a pretty good donation back to the national organization. We'd do it without the donation, but it is surely appreciated.
I've not seen any CMAers ever try and force their beliefs, etc. on anyone. One of the mottos/sayings is Here if you need us. That attitude pretty much sums up the way we do business.

RE: Strange Bikers
so what color was their patch now that you have me interested
was it a 1peice or a2peice or a 3peice with the top and bottom rockers
did they give you a card ?
did you let them do their blessing ?
were they respectfull to your answer ?
it could of been many of things but most likey they were trying to show a prospect how it was done as it is normally done only with one or two people not a whole group
they may have also been trying to use an open door to engage in conversation with you and share the word of God with another Biker
Being a Christian and also being a Biker is sometimes a hard job and there are many out there that screw it up for those that follow Protocal and respect to others

RE: Strange Bikers
CMA and ABATEhad a bike blessing in New Orleans by a singing, Irish Catholic priest on a Goldwing, toting a bottle of holy water he splashed on each bike.Iwas happy to have my Sportster blessed, although I am not CMA.If someone gives me a bell, I will put that on my bike too. I'll take luck over skill any day.

RE: Strange Bikers
The thought counts, that people you don't know, are concerned for your safety & well-being...
Kinda like here, isn't it?
I kind of appreciate it, regardless of whomever it comes from...
