WTF! Wild Hogs?

[pritch]

I was under the impression that they took all their inspiration from American movies.

True!

To quote Peter Egan who was describing a group of 1%ers, the only unfriendly people he met in Godzone, "Life imitates artlessness".

[pritch]

They could name themselves OBOB - Old Buggers on Bikes. They could come up with a good saying to put on their patches, maybe "Get off my lawn you little punk!".

Or they could call it Ulysses and have a saying like "Grow old disgracefully"?

A year or so ago the Oz Ulysses were to have their AGM at Canberra. The local gang members told the Ulysses organisers that any rider wearing a patch would have it forcibly removed.

Big patches aren't my style, but wearing one can cause problems.

Surely those big bad bikers wouldn't do anything nasty to cute widdle Patches!!!???

If he had seen the movie he would be to embarrased to wear the patch...

So did you enjoy meeting the south islands most famous streaking copper Scumdog then?

Make up yer mind: Am I nekkid or am I festooned with tassles and Harley badges...

Best thing about HOG for me was the free membership they threw in with my new Harley. I put the patches on TradeMe and got $55 to spend on beer!

My jacket has KTM on it because, well, it's a KTM jacket... Never owned a KTM or even wanted to but it's a fine piece of kit. Got a Harley patch on my bath robe though. :-)

[awayatc]

Bathrobe...?

My wife and daughters use hem to....

Yours pink as well?

Funny how the 'owners' of certain patches and are those that spout on about 'freedom' are the very ones that won't allow the freedom for other to wear a patch of their own eh??

Perhaps the _only_ things you were wearing were your badges and tassles?

And thats the opinions of a bloke living in a town where they used to sell beer by the pound?....(I used to live down the beach)

I like the way that so many of them want to be an individual...just like everyone else...

Not everyone want to be seen with a patch/rocker on their back. Only the ones who are proud to belong. Be that a 1% or a social group like HOG.

Personally I have no desire to join HOG, Ulysses or any other social group where the social aspect is the main focus and the bikes take 2'nd place (even if the bikes are close to the first one).

In my view the patch belongs to the ones who have earnt the right to wear it, not the ones who have the money to buy it. Where I come from, when you had the full patch you had proven your worth and been accepted. It could take years.

I therefore consider the "Wild Hog" rockers to be worthless. But that is clearly only my view and if someone wants to wear them it won't change my sleeping habits.

I would also never wear a T shirt with a bike brand that I did not own. But in NZ that is very common. There are punks walking around with HD, Triumph, Norton and others on T's that would not know them from a Ferguson tractor.

Hmmm, I don't know if that would work.

You know, IF they had a group called 'Old Buggers on Bikes' there could be another group for 40 years old and above that ride Hondas - they could call themselves 'Old Buggerers on Bikes'.

Maybe Kiwibikers could have their own patch?


Of course I am only joking around, I'm thinking of popping down to the club night tonight to join Ulysses actually.
