SAMCRO isnt a real outlaw gang? [sarcasm dudes]


**** me running...the guy wearing their colors the other day must have ordered them online.

either way, im so sick of hearing about titles, names, acronyms, etc. who cares. ride, work, ****, drink, smoke, whatever you wanna do. leave the title-giving to insecure douchebags

I saw this at delmarva and truly had to do a double take. I was like WTF, are you f@%&in kiddin me. I like the show and all but I'll be damned if I'd fly those colors...

to each his own I guess.

on topic and @ the OP

if you have to ask.... then the answer is yes! I didnt even read your post BUT if youre asking if youre a RUB... you are.
with that being said, I'm pretty sure that you worked hard and earned your position and possessions.
nothin else matters!

you should be proud of what your accomplishments have provided.
dont make other peoples problems yours.

The American Dream. Camelot. RUB. Call it whatever you want.
You pulled yourself up by your own bootstraps, climed the ladder of success and didn't rely on daddys trust fund or the gubment tit. You did it right. I applaud you and am doing my best to do the same.

Yep, you are (calling your bike a 'toy' is the giveaway). Now go enjoy riding your bike, it's the best comeback to name calling.

He's just jealous, ignore his ignorance of life and hard work.

If you are concerned about what a young kid or for that matter anyone "calls" you, I would say you are foolish.
