There are others who you would least expect that believe in the code.

A couple of years ago I was out riding country roads on my old Triumph and pulled over at a sugar cane field to have a smoke. I had been wrenching on the bike all day so I was greasey and grimey looking like a rogue. A car pulled up beside me and a young girl maybe late teens or early twenties stopped and asked if I needed help. I about fell out of my boots. I told her no that I was just taking a smoke break and she said that her father is a biker and taught her that she should alway stop for bikers that might be in trouble. I don't know how good an idea that is for a young lady but it made me smile and I thanked her for stopping.

It is up to us old guys to get the word out to all the young people we know even if it is just in casual conversation. If we don't try and school them, no one else will.

i have posted a similar writing of "the biker code" on a post about stopping for other bikers on the side of the road. alot of people have not seen or know of this. we around these parts biker or not call it common curtesy, being a man whatever. just good old school manorism. (i think thats the right word).

If all lived by the Commandments it would be a better world. Several months ago I pulled over for a smoke. About 5 minutes later 9 bikers pulled over to help. They belong to an M/C in a county south of here.What a great bunch. They wanted to make sure that I was OK. They started laughing and joking with me when they found out I was an attorney. I ended up having lunch with them at an area diner.

She's a biker bitch who rides her own. And if she's hot, she's a HOT biker bitch who rides her own.

Hmm, when I was young, Women on the back of the bike were "momma's"
Some of the women in my chapter that ride their own bikes proudly proclaim themselves to be "Biker Bitches". I think I'll start calling them "TOTs" in honor of our member ******* On Two. (and I'll probably get called BOB ((***** ON Bagger, or Bald On Bagger, or Belly On Bagger)) or just get slapped a lot)
