Have you ever been discriminated for being a biker
Several years ago we all went into a resturant in full leathers.....everybody else got up and left...In New Orleans you can't park a bike in any of the parking lots. What else has happened to you.

RE: Have you ever been discriminated for being a biker
Many years ago I went into a Pub with the wife and they refused to serve me because I was a Biker ! I asked why and was told that they generally cause trouble ! (I sure am going to start trouble wearing expensive leathers, gloves, helemets etc etc !!) I went back a few weeks later in the car and ordered a huge round of drinks and when he asked for payement I said 'Remember me ?' He obviously didn't so I reminded him that I was the biker he refused to serve a couple of weeks ago but he was willing to serve me dressed in old jeans and a T Shirt. He got quite shirty so I told him to stuff the drinks where the sun dont shine and left "
I think I orderd about a dozen drinks so revenge is sweet.

RE: Have you ever been discriminated for being a biker
what's wrong with people leaving !! heck , thats a good thing. Not so much now , but back when I had hair all the way down my back , people would move outta my way, never realized how handy it was until the lawyer told me I should get it cut. Now these same type of people actually want to TALK to me while we're in a checkout lane or something ...geeeeez!!. Thinking about growing my hair back.

I don't recall being discriminated against, even when wearing the patch. Just went in got what I wanted, paid and left. If someone had a concern, it was their concern, not mine.

RE: Have you ever been discriminated for being a biker
In North Caralina a few years back a woman a few doors down in the motel was having a domestic dispute with her boyfriend(she was beating the h--- out of him). Cops were called, I was out by my bike (making home made ice cream), 4 cars, lights flashing rolled up and came directly to me even though the room they were called to was 50 yards down. Was it me, the bikes, or the ice cream? You judge 
Anyway when they finished we all had ice cream.

Do you think it was the leathers or the fact that you didn't have a shower in two weeks?
