Nothing wrong with freedom of expression.. Sometimes the expression screams out IM AN ATTENTION ***** DOUCHE BAG, but thats ok.. I like to know who they really are before I'd hafta meet them.. You can tell alot about a person by what messages they're trying to send..

I once had a "**** Happens" tag on the front of my old Camaro (many years ago) and was told by our small southern town cop that people have complained about it...I thought for a brief moment about my freedom of speech and then I thought of his freedom to whup my ***....he won.

I think a lot of it's just shock value. And when I ride it's an "escape" from the real World, and I'm basically thinking F.T.W. (the non-biking World), I want them all to leave me alone other than bikers, and I figured most bikers would "get that" and agree and most likely laugh. You can obviously see in this forum that a lot of guys don't. Whatever though.
In the 40+ years that I have been riding, I have come to learn that the "biker" you ride with today is probably going back to the the non biking world tomorrow or the next day. As much as some "bikers" would like to think, we are not some special kind of people. We are made up of all kinds of people from all walks of life. The world that you are wanting to f#*K today is made up of people just like you and me.
If I want people to leave me alone, I, generally, try to avoid places where people are and if that is not possible, then I do things in a way that does not bring attention to myself.
If you, truely, feel that your linkage is the best way to get other people to leave you alone, then, by all means, ride on and ride safe.

everyone is over reacting, who cares what he puts on his bike ,it his his to do with as he wishes, it doesn't mean he's a jerk. doesn't mean he needs attention, doesn't mean anything other than he liked it, if you don't like it don't look at it, I'm in my fifties and been going to Daytona Bike Week for over thirty years, not like some who've been riding a long time I don't hate newer riders, respect all who show me respect ,you get it back, but Daytona like ever where has changed over the years and you now get a lot of weekend bikers or bike night bikers there, and thats o k, like I said give respect and you get respect, last year I was out at the Iron Horse Saloon at 11 at night listening to David Allen Coe and I had a shirt on thatwas probably 10 years old that said " F*ck the **** , show me your c*nt", now I'm not at church on Sunday, or the mall but a biker event at night in a biker bar having drinks, couples would pass and stop and ask can I take a picture of my wife with you and I'd say fine, this happened many times, finally about midnight I had a lady come up start screaming and yelling at me it wasn't funny , I should leave etc. etc. etc. , me leave this was her 1st trip to Daytona, luckily her husband came over apologized, got her by the arm and said leave the man alone ,where did you think we were going, It's America he can do as he wishes, and I same the same to all of you, It's America many have died for her ' let him put on his bike what he wants

last year I was out at the Iron Horse Saloon at 11 at night listening to David Allen Coe and I had a shirt on thatwas probably 10 years old that said " F*ck the **** , show me your c*nt", now I'm not at church on Sunday, or the mall but a biker event at night in a biker bar having drinks, couples would pass and stop and ask can I take a picture of my wife with you and I'd say fine, this happened many times,
It is also funny to me that we have all these posts about words that have to be spelled with $'s and #'s and %'s because they have been deamed inapropriate for an audience of bikers who are choosing to read the posts.
FTW
