Nah, it's just you, dickey's never bitter. Where did you come up with that?!!

 

I (as well as my wfie) have been a Life Member of HOG for years though neither of us has ever attended a national event or a local chapter event.

I may do so next spring but I have no illusions that a HOG Chapter will be any different from any other volunteer organization.
We belong to two different car groups and there's all kinds of people in any group.

If you don't have the patience, or the desire to ride in a group of cars or bikes don't waste your time joining and then bore us with your unhappiness about doing so.

Any event takes planning and money.
If you're a cheapskate, please, do everyone a favor and go your own way, do your own thing and allow others to do the same. They don't need, and probably don't want you there anyway.

Also, I don't give a rat's rear-end if you (or anyone else) chooses to dress like a pirate, a cowboy, a truck driver or a hooker as long as they come to socialize with other folks who have similar interests in motorcycles and wants to have a good time.
