Default Strange Bikers

Was checking out Leesburg last weekend and when we got to our bikes there was a group of bikers near the bikes. They came up and asked if they could pray for our bikes...what the ???? I told them I didn't believe in that stuff and they went away. They were all wearing huge crosses on their backs. My guess is that they were church bikers???

I know members of several different "Bikers for Jesus" clubs but none of them ever wanted to pray for my scooter.

yeah, its odd, but when i go up to people and ask them if they want to sacrifice a goat to Baal with me to insure safe passage of our motorcycles to the afterlife, i get strange looks too.

just trying to help and all, sheesh.

We've actually had folks organize a "bike blessing" ... haven't attended, but thought it was interesting ... btw, I think a lot of folks did this ...

I guess people today are just skeptical to receive such a blessing from a stranger. I would take you up on it. Do you use young goats?

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..

Think a local Catholic Church does that every Spring here. But, no goats!

I can feel where you are coming from, but I probably would have accepted the prayer. Me and my scoot need all the help and blessing we can get.
