They're people just like anyone else. Treat them no different and show no disrespect. Lots of clubs around SATX. Don't be a jackass and you'll be fine.

When you see a bunch of 'em hanging around, just pick the biggest one and go poke him in the eye, show him who'sboss. The others will run away.

I can't think of any better advice than stro's here. Makes perfect sense.

Could it be that your neighbor has designs on your property......just giving you a line of **** to get you to sell to him at a reduced rate????

On the serious side.......use your head man......if you show these guys the same amount of respect you would show anyone else, you will be just fine. Of course if your a jerk off loud mouth, who shows no respect to anyone......I suggest you hit the ramp and dont look back.

as long as you aren't wearing colors, don't sweat it. i live in san antonio and frequent many of the same places that they hang out. they won't bother you, or your wife, unless you do something to provoke them. most of the time, they won't even acknowledge you.

See if you can pick up a Texas Monthly from a few months ago. It has a pretty good article about the Banditos in Texas.

I would ask them about the 'wave' they use. That way you can wave like they like when you see them going down the road.

If you see any of them hangin out at a bar or even at their club house, just go on up to where their scooters are parked and sit on one of them, sidesaddle, then look at them with a sweet smile on your face and just hold the pose for a few minutes.
