Yes, you appear to be a troll. I am not sure if I would drink with you. Your attitude and arrogance seem to reflect a possible character defect. I think someone would have to vouch for you. The original post wasn't a membership drive or a form of hero worship. It was a statement about the lack of knowledge and specifically about the lack of motorcycle club awareness in a motorcycle oriented business. I didn't have to study or try to learn about clubs. It is called situation awareness and local history from being there or hearing about it growing up. Reading some of these post here makes me glad I grew up around motorcycles and bikers now. Did I mention me wearing a three piece patch? Did I mention me being a member of a 1% club? I am not a member of a 1% club nor am I am member of a support club for the local dominant 1% club. I am also surprised at the arrogant ******** and rubs who resent knowledge.

Use it as a point of reference, or ignore it. <shrug>

All I can say is WOW! Ignorance goes a long way. I aint got no charlie tatooed on my back side and could care less that Joe the lawyer who i blew past on the road doesnt know his MC history, know your place in what ever environment you are in and you stand a better chance of getting out alive. (thats figuritive not literal)
I was startin to think this may be a cool forum since I been down for the past few days recovering from surgery and cant straddle the saddle much less hold the bike but good gawd all of you PhD holders and spelling b coaches seem to have no mroe of a life than my lawyer who steals all of my hard earned cash.
I'm not flyin colors, been in the saddle long enough just never could swear my alegiance to any one person group or thing, tried it once....and my countryu is till denying me benifits as a vet I earned.
Simple.....fact at hand is that I have a hard time beleiving many of the crack pots posting in this thread could be, want to be or care about 1%ers since they spend the time they could be riding lookin at pixilated images on a puter screen. I aiont no 1%er....not thsi week atleast but come on....at least be intrigued by history....who knwos, the life you save could be your own.....now i know i've herd that saying some where....oh yeah, dont forget to buckle up since I know 99% of you guys spend more time on four than two. FTW

That's a bunch of crap. I never served myself, but I have much respect for all of you guys that have, and I can't stand to see our government turn their back on you guys, while all of congress and senate get the free benefits they promised you guys. Good luck and for a quick recovery and for getting your benefits due to you. Get back up on two wheels as soon as you can!

Can't speak to the VA of bygone eras, but when there was a hold-up in my benefits, I just called my senator's office.

I had my benefits in a week, with a letter of apology from the VA.

If you really are owed some earned benefits, call your senator or congressman. Seriously.

I hear ya bro....I did call the office of TN congresman Bart Gordon, spoke with oen of his reps several times. benifits were changed and returned but with in 6 months were suddenly gone again. When i asked some one from the VA what happened they said they were unsure. It's been nearly 15 years of back and forth fighting. I gave up. I'll wait for some kinda change to happen again before I start barking louder.
