Another shooting

[Great-Kazoo]

Chief White was trying to distance the police from this:" White was asked whether any law enforcement officers were members of the motorcycle clubs at the expo. White said he didn’t know. He said, however, “There were no Denver police officers involved.”
In my days clubs were clubs and cops were cops.
WTF happened???

Once H-D's became affordable AND acceptable for the general public to ride. It went down hill. H-D pulled the Old Honda playbook out of storage, dusted it off and marketed it to john & jane doe.
I know you remember
YOU MEET THE NICEST PEOPLE ON A HONDA.

Another part of the issue was when anyone wearing a cut off was given a pass instead of beat down. Top & Bottom Rockers saying INDEPENDENT, unfukingbelieveable.
The wheels on the wagon go round & round.

The IOMC mistakenly decided to challenge the big boys by creating an "independent" MC. They're playing dress-up and paying the price.
If a group of gun enthusiasts in LA decided to form their own club and colors and gang signs and run around flashing them in Blood's or Crip's territory, we'd see the same thing.
Idiots.

Our path is the toughest path for any motorcycle club and we have great pride in staying the course no matter what. But if you do choose to try and join us and you make it, then you are joining the elite, the chosen, the dedicated, It might be the hardest thing you ever do. It will definitely be the hardest thing to stand up for but there is a good reason for that. This is an MC. It is not make believe.

But it is make believe when you wear the costume but don't want to follow the rules.

I'll disagree on the aspect of HD's being affordable. For the past 15 years at least they are consistently one of the most expensive brands- was lucky on my last purchase, got a '14 Dyna with 3700 miles and the 103 motor for under $12k which is still stupid. I love it, gives me the ride I like.

In over 45 years of riding and racing (as a teen) I've owned most of the major brands and like them all.

When Sonny Barger came through Denver a number of years ago to promote a book I heard him talk about how if he had his choice he'd be on a BMW-this was at Rocky Mtn HD. Of course he stated that the outlaws/1%ers would only ride HDs for the image.

The leos I know that ride belong to The Sentinels if they belong to any club. More belong to veteran groups that are definitely not 1%ers.

A good read about The Mongols is William Queen's "Under and Alone". He's a former Ranger then ATF and successfully infiltrated them and it led to many convictions. Unlike that flake "Jaybird" Dobbins who blew his task to get in to the Angels and didn't get a single conviction.

Just wait
You're going to see the domestic terrorism angle bandied about in weeks to come.

You'll really go WTF? When the clubs are referred to as MILITIA'S ON 2 WHEELS.

It's affordable since you can finance a new or used H-D at a dealers for up to 8 years. NO MONEY DOWN! Hell yeah where do i sign.

AS for Barger, well he's become a status symbol. When one thinks (if they do) of the HA / Local 81 who do they think of ? Sonny Barger.

At one time it was the Big 5. As i said, every swinging dick wears a patch of some kind. The worse is those SOA morons. ANYONE seen wearing that shit should have been given a tune up out the gate.
You want to pretend you're in some TV show tough guy mc gang. Well... you're going to get some t.v show loving.

Watch out for the jerks running wires across trails!! Met a guy on a BMW 1200 GS yesterday at Performance Cycle-he traded in his HD for it, just loves it. Very nice bike.

Why can't there be a clash between the Hells Angels type of clubs and all those stupid sport bike groups out there?

Drool. If only I could afford one.

I have no interest in giving up the KLR though. I'd flirted with adding a street bike but never executed.

I've already checked several of Janet Reno-Napalitano's boxes. Why shouldn't I add another one?
