HEY ----- wait----am I scum? I been a biker since age 10........some even didnt have MOTORS! I have tattoos, I are a redneck.....I carry a gun.....I have a foul mouth and a bad attitude.....I hate "the man" ..........oh dearie me I am scaring myself.......
I did a little running with the 1% group (on the very fringe) and had friends in the groups---- was not my "thing" to structured and militant ---If I want to take orders and work towards "rank" I will join the Army.
I have known many biker groups and many biker folks ---lots where my customers when I owned a T-shirt shop (everybody LOVES t-shirts) --- and I never had an issue. Yes there are some serious Outlaws involved and seriously BAD dealings and bad people. But I dare say most those folks if they are NOT wearing their "colors" you would STILL know they where "questionable" characters.
Gasket I dont know about Oz but here ---- there are SOOOOOOOO MANY "bikers" with patches.......some say "Riders For Jesus" or "Police Riders Assoc" or "Vietnam Vets"...."Grandmas for Guzzis" ......."Attorneys on Apehangers" .....at least in the U.S. I dont think everyone lumps them as a group----most dont give a second thought as the majority of the ones you see pulling up to the gas pump are "weekend warriors"
I guess no enlightenment there....to you both....................RIDE long and PROSPER --- and gasket-- you can ship me that Tiger anytime it would be so happy in the barn beside mine
