Default Does this happen to others......

I am at the grocery store the other day and I am in line when out of the blue a guy walks up and asks if that is my bike outside. I say yes it is he say's nice bike I say thanks and start to wonder how he picked me out as the bike owner. I had on no Harley clothes, no riding gear and the store was packed. Maybe I should grow some hair and shave more offten.

Then the next night at the pool hall my brother-in-law and I pull in at the same time as two other bikes(not with us), we all start to walk in at the same time, I am the first one to the door and I get asked if I am wearing colors. He didn't ask any of the others, should I feel discriminated against [sm=smiley19.gif] or shoud the other guys.

I was wearing a red bandana once and got asked about it. It took me about 2 minutes to realize this guy was a blood and asking me what was up. Blew my mind. I didn't think we had crips and bloods in Houston.

I have read and heard Crips and Bloods are in just about all major cities.

That's CRYPTS, first of all, and yes we are everywhere!!! Just Kidding!!! Ratbasturd, you must be one biker-looking dude!!! Whenever that happens to me, it's always because I'm wearing something to give me away that I rode there, not drove. Let's see a pic of ya....if you dare!

You probably smell like gas and oil. I get picked out too, only thing I have on that would help them guess is my boots, but they look like work boots.

I was asked if I was wearing colors at one time. I told them no, my undies are white and clean.
