Things sure have changed. Notice the difference between the old and the new pics. Things have cleaned up a lot. These days I think if you get a smudge on your colors you have to get a new one. Back in the day you wore it until it rotted off ya!
Actually, back in the day. BPM's stood for Beer, P.ussy, and Motorcycles. (BPMs) My Father Leland Louisiana was a chapter Treasury for many years(I believe). I grew up(and my brothers) in, and around the BPM life style. Many days we went to Pig roasts where me and my older brother were ..... you can guess. I can see the Booze being replaced with current terms. It wasn't. Beer(Kegs) was the main consumption!
I will remember my father in that such way. R.I.P DAD, Leland Louisiana!

If I remember correctly the BPC originated in Duluth, bunch of Merchant Marine types who liked to ride between work assignments..
My Father was in the Air Force. Back in the 60's. Highly doubt it was do to riding between work assignments! Brotherhood came first, and was the utmost respect between each other. As most brothers came from the military field. If you can't count on your Brother in Arms who do you have to have your back? the Gov? Doubt that VERY much! You're Expendable! Brotherhood in the MC is the utmost respected bond. It's a shame The factions between other MC's have that fracture. Myself will live two on the road. Respect anyone that recognizes the Ride to Live, Live to Ride, Two down. Respect to my father Mr. Louisiana(BPM).
