So many LE officers wonder why non law enforcement people have such a bad opinion of them. I know 7 people in the law enforcement business.

They seem much more confortable being with other LE people than with regular people.

Our local motorcycle group has at least 1 LEO and everyone really likes this person but this person is NOT really one of the group, so to speak. This person keeps more to themself, doesn't really share a lot of info or talk about much of anything. This person is just very "distant" to everyone.

I kind of wonder why the original poster doesn't want to find out about a club in general, instead of a club for only LE officers?

Again, I don't want this to sound negative but it almost proves the point of my reply. I don't go looking for clubs that only allow Contractors. I don't look for clubs that only have tall members, or people of a certain color or ethnic background. I'll ride with just about anyone who wants to ride. One riding club I belong to has all different kinds of members. Like I said, I know thereis at least 1 law enforcement person, a few constructions workers, a few business owners, executives, truckers, nurse, a few are retired, some unemployed and a few same sex couples. Everyone in the club gets along with everyone else. No one has ever even thought about a club geared more toward their own interestes. Maybe I'm missing something.

but we're all adults and all I ask is that we stay on point, and try to keep to the topic..um, Roughnecks M/C..Cops How much more to the point does it have to be on a thread titled "Law Enforcement M/C

..The guy asked a question, the question was answered and now we seem to have the peanut gallery peanut gallery?

piping in with opinions, experiences and personal comments....Aw chit, I thought this was a forum.

this is how $hit gets out of hand here. Did he hit a nerve? A little too close to home, maybe?

Can we do this you think? Absolutlely. You start.

I'm not being sarcastic or trying to light anybody up. I'm asking seriously.
So am I....


Just my .02

Stay on the bikes with the blue lights so we know who you are!
