hang around whom ever and see if you like them and fit in. You can find like minded people and have a good time. When ever you get people together there are going to be small conflicts at best and some you won't care for, but if all in all you are having a good time go for it.

Seems like a weird question. "Gee fellas, should I join a group of some kind? What do you guys think?" No matter what you choose, I think you'll make a great follower.

or any other group (besides motorcycle "gangs")

Here we go again! Although you might not approve of these bikers or their culture, They are not gangs. They are motorcycle clubs.
The reason this is important is because gangs will kill someone just to steal their shoes. they attack seniors in swarms because they have no ***** as an individual.
some MC's might engage in activities that are looked down upon by some people but they do not stoop as low as a gang banger would!
There are some who lurk here & the term "Gang" is very offensive!
Just my 2 cents.
Ride safe!!
hatch.

I am an AMA member. They are there to lobby against legislation that is bad for motorcycling, especially dirt biking. If you renew automatically, you get a free membership for road service for your bike and cars, which is worth the price of membership, right there. If we don't hang together, we'll hang separately.
They don't have group rides or local chapters, so no work.

+2 Show some respect.

And many of the folks in PGR are members of other groups as well. Find the folks you like, or can at least tolerate, and hang out with them.
