Take it with a grain of salt. The term "thug" is thrown around loosely with the younger crowd. Basically it means that he was saying you're a tough guy biker.

Haven't even met him, yet, and already he is off on the wrong foot.

So, are we "thugs" cause we ride Harleys?




A few days later, he decided we weren't "thugs" just cause we ride Harleys, but I really think he was trying to "make peace" kind of, but he has a ways to go right now. Maybe our HOG chapter should go on a "road trip" to say "HI".
I think he had you at red sox fan. thugs all the way. had nothing to do with the harley. it's just the red sox nation as your claim to fame. i could care less what you ride but, don't involve anyhing to do with baseball and the red sox's.

If that doesn't work then you can send your OL's book club after him.

This is hilarious to me, Rockrat! Deja Vu. My daughter brought home an uneducated, UNEMPLOYED P.O.S. 20 year-old "boy" a few months back. He saw my Harley in the garage and referred to me as a 'biker type.' Kid fit every deadbeat stereotype and he stood in my home and called ME a 'type.' *****. Oh, well. Daughter dumped him pretty quick. Never found out if he was a Tigers fan.

Besides, the only way you could actually get a HOG chapter to ride to the kids house is if he lived at a Starbucks.
Fixed again.

Fear the Hog!

Colonial Harley Davidson in Prince George VA apparently is the host to the Virginia State HOG rally this upcoming weekend. People are asking me if I'm going to the big biker rally. Some are saying that people should stay away. Pretty damn funny stuff.
I'm not a HOG member so not sure I can even get in to the events .. oh well.
