MC question
I've been going to the drag strip with my buell and, well, its becomming an addiction. My buddy wants to get involved in some capacity... besides consuming beer, and radioing info to me during a run, the only thing he'd be good for is laughs and making sandwhiches (im not opposed to either).
I could use a tuner/mechanic, thats for sure.
Oh yeah and sponsorship... lol. I definitely need $$$$ cause I recently broke a drive belt and burned out a tire: several hundred dollars down the drain.
Anyway... Me and my buddy were thinking about going halfs on a wrecker. We were going to strip off all the winky-blinkers and prep if for drag racing. We're both broke and always looking for new people to hang with so we had this thought: A club... for racing. We have a name for our club. We'd like to get jackets or something... just because. You know how it goes.
Since we would be a Motorcycle Club (a group of guys wrenching/racing one motorcycle) and not a Riding Club, we're wondering who's going to have a problem with "MC" and why?

Hey, on another subject, Asheville and its surroundings seems like a great place to live. When I retire I'll sell the house here, have maybe $100K for a down payment on another place and a $3K pension/social security. Would I be able to afford living there or nearby? I play Bluegrass and C&W, rock for that matter as well. I'd love to find a small old farm with a barn and a few sheds -- 10 acres, that sort of thing. any chance I'd be able to do that near Asheville?
As far as your question, I'd just spell out "Motorcycle Club." No one can possible be offended by that and if they are use your wrecker to haul their bikes away... ;- )

Just way too much **** to worry about for no reason seems a bit pathetic that in this country folks have to even consider this garbage.
I'd go as suggested with the Racing Team or whatever and let the others worry about their freedom sapping protocols.
Seriously, I thought bikes were all about freedom. And here we have some folks that think they should live by a rigid set of rules and enforce those rules on others that just want to ride. Bit ridiculous.

Do what you want, if someone gets butt-hurt over how you patch it up, tell 'em to **** off. This "We're the only MC in town" **** is getting old. This isn't the 60's or 70's anymore. You can't claim territory, and chances are there isn't a swingin' dick who will do anything about it.
