Default 1% Question

Yesterday afternoon I saw something I never expected to see.

While riding in town I saw a bunch of Boozefighters . . . and a few hang-arounds. As they passed, I thought I saw Bandito colors in the mix.

I sped up and checked again, and sure enough the rider in the #1 position was a Bandito.

This is definitely Bandito land. It occurs to me that he might have been escorting them through or something. But I've seen lots of MC riders around here, and never a mixture of any sort.

I thought maybe a charity ride, but it seemed they were not in "nice" mode. Fully colored and no seat covers. It was kind of wierd.


Why do you suppose they'd be riding together?

Many of the 1% have affiliations with other clubs.terms of peace so to speak
Guys from club #1 & club #2 are enemies oof club #3. Clubs 1& 2 will get togethewr to take out club #3.Could also have been a memorial runThe smaller club will pay their respects to the bigger clubs,etc,etc

I have been around the BFMC a lot over the past couple of years. Boozefighters in general really don't have any "enemies". They are afterall: "A drinking club with a motorcycle problem". My cousin is a P for one of the Northern CA chapters. I had the priveledge and pleasure of riding to and hanging out/camping with them in Sturgis this year. We met other BFMC members from all over the country all week. Every last one of them was top notch to anyone (club member or not) that they talked to.

Not what i say... it's a patch most of them wear on their vest. I like it too. In case any of you are wondering, these boys can drink.

It's not on their main patch or rocker, but a smaller "chest" patch most of the guys in my cousins chapter wears. It is definitely an official BFMC patch in Green and White.

They are definitely the OWOF!
