Bike gangs: ever ridden with them?

you cannot base your judgement of all patched people on the reports of a few. if that were that case, then all cops would be involved in group sex and making videos of that. bad shit happens in every single group this world contains. but that doesnt mean that every member of that group is like that.

where the reports you read based on new zealand gangs/clubs or overseas? i know the boys i rode and lived with are nothing like those reports portray, they are more real than many non patched riders i have met.

Just google Mongrel Mob, pages only from NZ and you'll see some of their deeds. In black, white, colour and in history. But yes, u r right. Theres always bad apples in the barrel, but if there are only a few bad apples we shouldnt assume the whole barrel is bad?

Yes - we all know the gangs in New Zealand are created primarily for civic good and helping old ladies across the road

now where did I put that Tui?

exactly. same goes that if there are only a few GOOD apples, we cant assume the whole barrel is good.

Yeah you're right - I tend to get a bit biased when someone creates an organisation specifically to endanger me, my family and my property - funny that eh?

All i can add is that good or bad when confronted with a 5 shot 30-06 they stop swearing.......funny enough there was no more f%ck you %unt and suddenly they were the little angels there mother must have loved.

as i said... there are good and bad everywhere you look. the bike riders i have met, no what their skin color, accent, patched or not, or style of bike they ride, none have done me any harm. i dont give em a reason to. i treat all people the same until given a reason to either increase my respect, or to disreguard them entirely and hold them at a distance in future meetings.

you leave them alone, and they will leave you alone. have you personally ever been threatened? im sure sonny barger and other founders all got together and said "right, lets set out specifically to target this guy mcjim and make him life difficult"

trust me, when the distance is kept, you and i are not even blips on their radars.

WTF is this shit......when a fuck up fucks up theres no radar dipshit,by all means worship whatever or whoever you want but i have no interest in reading shit from people who live in a bubble,i have in younger days ridin a very different path and chose to move on for my own reasons but to read this does nothing but recall the smell of a particularly bad shit i had.

You're right - we're not blips - we're easy pickings. That's why they break into our houses. that's why they steal our cars. That's why they supply drugs to our children.

I wish I was a blip rather than being a target.

SMELLY indeed. Ever had the, "what the fuck are you looking at cunt" dropped on you while trying to pretend the mobster infront of you is just a figment of your imagination? Would we all try to reason with it? No, more like get the hell outa there...in one piece.
