How many outlaw club's do you state your "feelings" to? How does that work out for you?
I have noticed you comment on every "club" thread on this forum the same way. It seems you lump every person who decides to wear a patch in the same category. It greatly shows your ignorance. You also speak as if your ideals change the way things are done and the way the world operates.
As was said earlier the "club scene" is a different world. If you want to play in it there are different rules. Not saying it's right or wrong, just saying it is that way.

 

No the .1% is correct for US, we are 10% more bad *** then the 1%ers.

 

You might want to consider a Riding Club like the Southern Cruisers, You can all be the a part of the same orgaization without everything else that comes with an MC.

I keep my business to myself, and expect the same from others.

The OP's pals wanted to start a club and were bullied into not doing so. Whoever it was that did the bullying is the one I have a beef with, and I won't play along with the "SOA" cult around here where we have to pretend to "respect" that sort of thing.

All this crap about "that's just the way it is" and "how does that work out for you" and "there are things you just don't do" cuts no ice with me. If some guys want to put together some pirate outfits and ride around, that's their business. Not mine. Not some "1% outlaw" club's.

As the earlier story in the thread shows (about the knucklehead in the bar who quickly backed down as soon as he realized he was out manned), bullies are cowards, first and foremost.

BTW, that brings to mind a story from the early '80's: Me and three friends, all of us students at the School of Mines, were drinking in this dive bar in Rapid City. We went there all the time for the cheap drinks. The place was always filled with 1% club types. Pretty rough looking bunch. We never bothered them, and they never bothered us. Like I said, I keep my business to myself.

Anyway, one night about a half dozen kids from the reservation blasted in, pulled out their nun-chucks, and quickly beat the crap out of at least 30 of the 1% guys. It was like a half dozen little Bruce Lee's going at it. These guys were maybe 15 or 16 years old. Tough little bastards. They knew how to fight, and even though they were severely out numbered (not to mention giving up about 100 lbs each to their opponents), the whole thing probably didn't last two minutes. Hell of a deal, that was.

If guys want to form clubs and do stuff together for the brotherhood and camaraderie, that's wonderful. I totally understand, respect and relate to that. If those same guys form a bunch of "rules" that they choose to live by, that's their business. Personally, I'm not into rules, so I have no interest in that sort of thing.

When those guys take it upon themselves to impose their rules on others using intimidation and threats of violence, that's when I have a problem. Threatening violence is a crime. Assaulting someone without legal provocation is a crime. I have no use for criminals. Or bullies. I obey the law, and expect others to do so as well.

 

Seriously? We kinda' like wearing the matching day-glo vests over our Dakar riding jackets.

 

thanks shane , i get the big block hard to stay on the line your reading deal , my bad , have a great day

 

That statement right there makes me question either your intelligence, or your mental well being.

Do you leave your bike outside at night, unlocked with the keys in it?

 

That is what I thought, thank you for the clarification.

Ride On!


Keeping your business to yourself....right on, I can appreciate that...HOWEVER...just because a portion of society does not abide by your expectations does not make it beneath you. This is the part I have a problem with.

I appreciate your outlook....but to knowingly dismiss a culture that has been around for decades...and takes care of their business internally....is wholeheartedly ignorant.

If someone chooses to enter that culture, then in reality they need to follow that cultures rules...it is not that hard to comprehend and I cannot for the life of me get why you are struggling with that.

 

I think that as long as you do not to wear a traditional 3 piece patch, claim any territory, sew on a diamond, duplicate local club colors, or try to infringe on any local club business. you would be fine, I cant guarantee it, but I personally have never had a problem with any of our local 1%. My brothers and I all wear our single RC patch on our back and have never once had any issue. I think that most of the MC guys here have better things to do than rough up a couple Freemasons because they have a vest on.

 

Join the GWWRA, matching outfits and everything

Let's give the "you gotta get permission on how to dress" stuff a rest. A man doesn't ask permission to do or wear what he wants. If someone intrudes upon that, a man takes care of business.
