I like Pings, but many HD riders prefer Spaulding. They are cheaper and leaves more money for buying chrome.


Wait a minute... not THAT kind of club?

Oh... that's different.... Never mind.

Oh, come on now. Taylor Made all the way.

Sorry, carry on.....................
Callaway. Definitely Callaway.

lol,.... I'll try to give a straight answer here.

If you are referring to an OUTLAW M/C,...which is what I kind of suspect, there's a lot of things to consider.
For the most part, the members of an M/C have made a commitment and GREAT SACRIFICE that the average joe cannot withstand. Despite all of the bad press they recieve, a club considers other members FAMILY. Even more so than blood kin in many cases. Some of the things you may have to do can greatly conflict with your family life,...as well as your core beliefs, and definitions of right and wrong. All M/C members should be shown respect if for no other reason than the sacrifice, loyalty, and tremendous fortitude it took to be accepted into the club. Club members will shun giving out any information whatsoever until they are completely comfortable with you, and just getting to that point can be a trying experience to say the least. If you have a club in your area, I would suggest you contact a member. Ask if there is a benefit ride,...or open club function that you can attend as a guest who's showing support. gradually you can hope to build friendship and trust among the club members,...and who knows,...mabye you'll get an invite to probate.

This is just my opinion, so take it like you want,........I have been told on many occasions I don't know sh*t.

If I am reading you right, you are looking for the middle line of the clubs, not necessarily HOG but not necessarily 1%. The best thing I can tell ya is to check out your area. There is a big difference in going into an MC than into HOG. I have three cousins that are Apaches, personally I love the whole group, hell of bunch of good guys. If you want people that "got your back" depending on how you are feelin' that out, you got some options.

A lot of the Vet Clubs are great, you might give River Snipe a holler and see what he has to say. Maybe he can give you some intel on the group he rides with

Ride Safe.

I used to be in a local club, years ago. I didn't really care for some of the characters in it, and some of the things they were doing. So I bailed out.

As for golf, when I have time for golf, I choose to ride my Hog.
