Clubs, ha ha...only "club" ever worth joining for me was Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.

Just a lone wolf with good friends here. Ninja leathers, that's awesome. Even when i rode a ninja it was full leathers, especially for track days.

As for sons of laughing rides...have yet to see either.

Just my. 02

Living here in the South, or as we refer to it "God's country", I see all sorts. Like the guys riding "The Dragon" at 20mph and bragging about it like they were Joey Dunlop. Or the ones at Myrtle Beach backing their bikes off the trailer, riding to the motel parking lot, start drinking for the next few days, load up the bikes on the trailer from the same spot and go home. Ditto for Daytona. More in trailers than I've spent on bikes. The same ones that brag about how few miles they have on their "pristine" whateverglide. Or the dudes pulling into the biker bar in their Caddy, popping the trunk, taking off the monkey suit, putting on the HD tee shirt, leather jacket and bandanna before going inside.

"Ninja Leathers" is a generic term that I came up with years ago, based on their attire and the fact that most were riding Kawasaki Ninjas.

I'm so old that Flip-Flops used to be called Thongs. Boy have things changed!

Anytime my wife catches me looking at some cute thing on the Internet with a thong, I tell her that I was looking for some Flip-Flops but forgot and searched for Thongs.
You and I must be just about the same age. ........... And we think a lot alike too!

Only real MC for me is Sons of Confederate Veterans, we save and clean up Confederate memorials and preach true history, not politically correct history....

Actually I enjoy SOA and Devils Ride, also Full Throttle Saloon. Fun to watch the different types of bikes on the shows. Not sure why people invert the bar and shield, that is biker sacrelige! If you don't like the product, then buy something else. I will still ride with you, but disrespecting the bar and shield is like making love with your sister....it just ain't done.

Never seen it inverted. Don't understand inverting it.

Someone brought up a good point in here: Made fun of Jax wearing white tennis shoes. So we make fun of people for wearing pirate outfits and then we turn around and make fun of a TV show about 1%'ers b/c they are not totally dressed as pirates?

Why is it we have to make fun of anyone at all? Ride and let ride.
