[QUOTE=awayatc;2016732]well said Tank....

All the people with "hog" patches earned their money to buy their bikes.....
They all work and pay tax.

True and I also agree with another comment made about riding in a group of people who have bought the bike but don't yet have the skills... Personally I try to avoid riding with 'unknowns'.

[QUOTE=awayatc;2016732]
Oh and I love the weekly runs..... a whole heap of Harleys thundering through the countryside....
And no they are not hanging around either...

And I love the wednesday evening rides, thursday nanarides, any sort of ride realy....

I have been a HOG member for a long time but stopped going on the club rides long before I got the Buell cos I got frustrated with being hemmed in by people who just wouldn't pass cars even when it was completely safe to do so. Oh and sitting on 110kph ALL day just kills me on the Buell ( I persevered but had to admit defeat cos its just so uncomfortable for me ).
But get a few of them on their own away from the official club rides and those HDs get a thrashing LOL.

Funny thing is that I have a couple of mates who both ride HDs with BIG ape-hangers and whenever we go for a ride they say to me "take off if ya want, we will see ya there". But I just smile and say "its no biggie, I choose to ride with you guys so I am gonna ride WITH you". Actually I secretly love riding behind these 2 blokes and perving at them LOL.

I will go on Any ride, anywhere anytime, except with lowlives that have to "earn" their patch.....I am honest, and proud of it.

I won't ride with lowlives either but not ALL MC members are lowlives. Some of them would fall more into the 'likeable rogue' category. I know people who belong to patched clubs. We have a beer and a laugh occasionally and sometimes I'll do their poker runs...biker politics is never discussed. They are just people who ride as far as I am concerned.

When I was a teenager I kicked around on my Triumph with some mates who were in the H66

Now days I don't choose to associate with people if I know they are steeling, dealing drugs, gang banging, or live off the proceeds of such activities.
But I also don't want to go around making valued judgments about people I know nothing about - purely on the basis of appearances.
There is the argument that if one wants to parade around in a gang patch, and benefit from the intimidation value it brings, then they should take the discrimination that it also attracts.
Mind you I know plenty of respectable looking people who are up to their eyeballs in illegal activities, or living off the proceeds from it.

Should I make valued judgements about them as well?
I don't think life is that black and white, and life is too short to live like that

Wonder what they did with the 5 later on? Or perhaps they went down a new road...

Opps lost count - H61
They were pretty harmless except to themselves, we got pissed a lot, got stoned a lot, got into fights a lot - then my bike got stolen

[NSR-Dan]

I dont understand black power, most of them a maori and they prance around in there patch which represents white supremacy.

Went to fill up petrol just before midningt last night at a local BP. As I was standing there waiting to pay a young part maori chap, max 20, came in. He was what I would call handsome, fit and had nice teeth. (Stop it, I am just observant!!!) Was dressed in black and red. He gave a pretty girl about same age $50 so she could pay for their petrol. Her language was plesant, she was well dressed and I got the impression that she was from a decent family and she had some sort of education.

Nothing strange there. Apart from that on one side of the young chaps face he had the MM tattoo. It covered whole that side of the face.

Two things went through my head:

1. What is a girl like her doing with someone that clearly has decided to devote his life to MM and all that it involves (including their attitude towards females)?

2. Was there nobody that could have informed this chap what he was doing to his life by branding him self as he did? Where was all the "leaders" who are trying to change the way for their people?

As they jumped in to their late model jap car and I started up my 87 Audi that I had just spent $20 on petrol on (after a serious consideration as I would not get any money inside a week) I felt sad for them. I could see how hard their life would be...

Not as hard as their victims. Save your sympathy for those more deserving.

They got $50 of petrol. I managed $20.
My car is a 87, their is a new jap one.
Ahhh, nevermind.

[Molly]

Oh, I geddit. I thought you were being serious.

[caseye]

Gang members? there's a cure.
It's simple, it just takes the moral fortitude to hold on long enough to educate all of the kids going to school right now.
Make sure they can all actually read and write.
Make sure their parents are responsible for their whereabouts day and night.
Make sure they have a job to go to before allowing them to leave school or a place of practical work based experience.
You know what, they'd figure it out for themselves. Work, earn money, have a life , be upstanding in their community and be respected for being honest and forthright.
We'd still have the odd few exceptions, it's called white Island! drop em out there by helicopter and leave em there to fend for themselves where they can't come back and hurt innocent people again and again.
Got quite along way from Wild Hogs as a subject, sorry bout that.
Loved the movie, though a bit too over acted, pity had a fantastic cast and not a bad story line.
It was just a story aye?

[Conquiztador]

Oh, I geddit. I thought you were being serious.

Yes, I was being serious. Re the unfairness of the world. Re the value of honesty and respectability. Re what has been installed in us re right and wrong. Re at times you wonder...
