The Next Generation of Bikers? (ended up a rant)
The Next Generation of Bikers? (ended up a rant)
I'm guessing it's someone like Prince Jackson. He has been highlighted on the HD Forums twice now in one week. Nothing against him personally, but I don't see him as "a biker's biker". And I quote - "Jackson rode his 2018 Harley Softail, perfectly named “Dirty Diana,” to raise awareness and funds for the fight against HIV/AIDS. According to The Daily Mail, 21-year-old Jackson mingled with fellow riders and spent some time posing for pictures with fans".
I don't really know if I would call it an "article" or "story" as the above sentence was the entirety of the whole article that was taken from The Daily Mail (seriously?) Which brings me to the question....WTH is up with the articles on the front page? I see the Help Wanted adverts all the time where they are asking for writers. Is no one submitting their stories or do they only want one page teasers with a ****-ton of pics? There are so many cool people in the biker/motorcycling community that I would think an interesting article wouldn't be so hard to find. Some of these guys/gals here have a lot of stories to tell. What about HDF asking for them to submit their anecdotes/adventures in their own words? IDK, I'm just throwing this out there but I don't think I'm the only one that would love to read some stories submitted by fellow forum members.

I'm guessing Jackson did not have to work 8, 10, hrs. a day, overtime on Saturday, for the money to pay for that bike. A "a biker's biker", he will never be.

Tracy, Let me answer a few points... And yes I agree..
A) Prince Jackson is nothing more then the off spring of a famous sperm donor. Michael Jackson is far from a father - and frankly, I couldn't give a **** about this kid
B) These people or riders, not bikers
C) As for the writing assignment, as you know I am a professional journalist - the **** the CCEs publish, I'm afraid it would hurt me on a professional level
D) Did I miss anything?
LOL...

Theres a reason I never visit this sites homepage. I read enough BS in these threads much less wade through those BS articles and advertisements as well.

I don't know who the forums hired as a writer but the word "Biker" should be removed from his vocabulary because clearly he has no idea what is means and how it undermines those that actually live the lifestyle.
