I very rarely wear 'black' outside of the grudge (cept for leathers). It costs me no more, to look 'respectable', than it did to look like a 'dirtbag biker'.
I don't sleep under overpasses, pickanick tables and in culverts, no mo'. I OWN A TENT, now, and a dammt nice one, at that, PLUS one of those 'air mattresses'.

NOW, I still ride, hang 'round, and am a 'known associate' of many 1%ers and NON-RUBs. And when Momma and I hear someone use the "RUB", yuppie, term, we jus' , kick the ol' pan over, and RIDE. So, THANK your 'riding bud's', for MAKING MY DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"We jus' sat there, smilin', sittin' on that bag o' seeds"
Things (AND ppl) are NOT always "what they appear".

Would you guess that 'some' of these, are ministers and pastors? And some 'rather well to do'?


Right on.
