Only one ever ran.

It was a great club.
Was that the Pacoima chapter?

Personally, I've been riding almost 50 years, and I enjoy riding ALONE 90% of the time. I go where I want, when I want, and come back when I want. Joining a "club", who most claim are "independent, man, we don't want no rules, nobody telling us what to do", then they turn right around and tell you that you MUST go through some ridiculous process to join, you MUST wear a certain patch a certain way, you MUST attend certain club meetings, you MUST go on several "runs" every year, you MUST hate certain other people because they don't belong to the same club you do, you MUST abide by club rules, you have to act like billybadass and DEMAND respect, etc. seems pretty hypocritical to me. Thanks, but no thanks, I grew up many, many years ago, don't need any "mommy" telling what to do, think, or how to act.

Being in a club like that, is worse than a job. At least with a job, at some point, you can go hone and get away from it. With that kind of club, it's all day, all of the time.

And the linked article appears to be about the Urine Odor - coincidence?

Reason I ask is because I friend of mine invited me to hang out with him and some that are in a small club. I do not know if the club is approved ,Don't really know what that means

Personally, if a friend asked me to hang out with him and some of his friends, I would base my decisions on how good of a friend he was and how his friends treated me, not whether the club was approved or not by somebody else but that's just me.

I know this is a little off topic, but I was just wondering if anyone here bleaches their *******, or knows anyone who has? Does it burn, and if it does, when does it stop? Did it get you laid more often, or maybe get you a rim job where you were only getting head before? These kinds of questions torture me daily. I need to know.
