Harley riding fuckwits being their usual selves

You could also say that 100 is as good a time as any to start taking an interest in such an important event in our history. Doesn't make it any more important than any others, just a catalyst perhaps.

And I sincerely hope those that attended this year for the first time will continue attending for years to come.

Unfortunately I suspect that for many though, 101 won't have quite the same ring to it that 100 has.

Interesting read I thought.

Yep, I thought so too.

I have restrained from commenting thus far but I think this phrase sums up my opinion:

Never attribute to malice, that which can be attributed to stupidity.

Get a haircut, you are disrespecting all those blokes that went to war a hundred years ago.

Or, I am respecting their sacrifice by exercising and enjoying the freedoms that they so bravely fought and died for

What the fuck difference does it make if any of them have served in the military?

Quite a lot, actually.


Difficult, I know, but can you answer this question?

I'm not aware of any of them having served in the military.

But as I said, what difference does it make?

But as I said, it makes no difference.

OK, thanks.

If any of them had, they might have been more aware of the protocols involved at such events.

I think it's fairly clear they weren't particularly familiar with the protocols of the occasion.

In an earlier post in this thread somebody made a claim to the effect that a lot of guys in biker clubs had served. Struck me as unlikely that there would be many, with the exception of the Patriots MC of course, or the VVMC in Oz.

Don't believe everything you read.

Or they were and knew when to disrupt it.

But who are we to question the mighty Katman?

Actually, a number of biker gangs were started by armed forces veterans.

It may strike you as unlikely - but is is also true. Quite a few 1%er members have served. F'r, instance, The founder members of the Epitaph Riders in ChCh were Vietnam Vets ... why do you think that coming from the armed forces precludes 1%er membership?
