Default We were lucky to get out of there alive...

On Saturday just outside of Kalamazoo, MI...we are hungry and stop for lunch. We do not know this area at all but we saw a bar/grill with a big "welcome bikers" sign and we could see the glint of chrome from the back parking lot. I pull in and park and as I was walking to the restaurant I notice... all 30-35 bike there were Yamahas! Most were the Virago (sp?). Must have been some riding club. The only hassle I had was the fact that we got there just after the Yamaha guys so it took forever to get our food.

I remembered what everyone on this board says to do when confronted with a club. I avoided eye contact and gave respect to everyone. We managed to get out without incident.

IMHO - They were probably quaking in their boots not wanting an *** beating by some bad *** Harley Bikers! Geezez - It's not like you asked to ride some guys old lady! Lighten up? Most people are just out for the ride!
