Creating a new club?

[Brett]

This all reminds me of the Southpark episode with the Harley riders.

Hi nighthawk I notice you have the Southern rider link in you reply, after going to the site I see they are closing it down.

If this is your site I may be able to help with hosting etc. Would be a shame to close it down

SAS Inc. hmmm I printed pens for them last month... they are NZ ex and serving SAS members... some how I don't think they will like a bike gang ... sorry... "club"... withthe same name.

SASI in case you didn't get it.

Oh I got it... but I would rather face the SAS that been called SASI

Took a while but you finally got there Of course the first "S" could stand for "Skirster" and the official colour "salmon" instead of black.

I hope things work sportster.

From reading some of these replies, it seems to me it's not the 1%ers you need to worry about, but half the people who've posted on this thread Some of them seem to think you should ask for their permission! People join clubs / groups all the time that share a common interest / make etc. It's only elitist when you go round telling everyone how much better than them you are, and unfortunatly, you get them on all types of bike.

Hi sportster.

Just do it!, if you love what you ride & feel the need to ride & hang out with other like minded sportster owners, do it!.

Theres Guzzi clubs, honda clubs ..shit theres even vespa clubs , don't see why a sportster club/group wouldn't work.

But drop the "patch" & "1%" mentality, it could backfire! (no-pun intended )
EXAMPLE:
I had a huge "200mphr club" patch on my jacket years ago, had a car load of blackpower pull up beside me on my 73 triumph trident...Then I saw the sawn-off sitting in there lap they gestured for me to turn sideways so they could read the patch clearly....honestly thought they where gonna blow me away.... Sold that jacket to the leather shop in palmy the next day.
........Somethings just arn't worth the trouble for the love of biking

Darn right 2.

Who the fuck is the MCC who ride crappy jap bikes called the Spool riders? WTF is a Spool anyway, sound like some thing that you find between your toes.

You probably want to keep away from both the affiliated and non affiliated motor cycle clubs, they probably wont want you pissing in their patch and you don't want to be associated with them in the long run. It will be very likely they will think you are taking the piss, if so watch out! If you organize a Sportster run probably best if you do it under the HOG umbrella as they have a large membership, just ask the local road captain if he is cool about it and go for it.

Some of the responses here from jap bike owners just reinforce why Harley riders look down their noses at jap owners. Fuck all Harley's are traded in on Hoondas and there is several good reasons for this, top of the list is they are disposable vehicles and just like disposable lighters they burn well.

It might interest you to know that we trade a good number of Harley's on Can-Am Spyders though. It seems people want to be a little different to the herd and HDs are like stinky farts, every arsehole has one.

You just made a hypocrite out of yourself dude.

But what came first, the chicken or the egg. In other words, did the Harley lads get above themselves before they were given shit or the other way round.
I had a couple of Harleys and i have to say, i think it's Harley lads gettin above themselves. When i was riding them, they all thought their shit didn't stink and from what i have still seen that tends to still be the case.

[sportster]

Your right a lot or Harley riders do think there shit dont stink, A lot of them also choose to look down on me just like they do with jappa owners because I choose to ride a Sportster.

[nodrog:Me]

I have a sporty motorcycle, can i join?
