FWIW, I think the Angels just require you to have a Harley and the Bandidos require a Harely and specify a minimum cubic in./cc's. So the Bandido's may not be able to just have an 883 or even a 1200 without owning something larger as well.

 

Many 'Traditional MC' members (what many would call 1%er's) own bikes other than their Harley's. Like anyone else some like to mess around on dirt bikes, dual sport bikes, and other types of metric and/or European bikes.

I'm not going to name the MC, but it is one included in the discussion, and their Bylaws state in part;

'Members must own at least 1 Harley Davidson (or facsimile) of at least 750cc'.

Some MC's set the minimum engine size at 900cc, others at 1000cc. Some say you must own a Harley, others say a Harley or facsimile. Some don't even require you to own a Harley. As you can see, it varies...

I would say that the Dyna Series is probably the most popular, although many guys also own Softails such as the Standard. But you will see a variety of everything, from the smallest Sportsters to the largest Baggers.

 

On the road to Sturgis, you see a lot of outlaws on baggers. Especially at the front of the formation.

 

Not surprising....

Many of the higher ranking officers in various clubs (usually riding in the front of formations) have been members for years, are getting up there in age, and prefer the comfort of a touring model on long multi-day runs.

But you have to realize that many guys own more than one Harley, and can choose which bike to ride depending on the situation.

I own 6 bikes myself, ranging from a modified 1200C Sportster, a rigid frame Panhead Chopper, a couple of Dyna's, a Softail, a Road King, etc.....

I prefer to either ride a Wide Glide or FatBoy, but if I was going to go on a week long high speed interstate run no doubt my Road King would provide the most comfort......

 

Lotta Outlaws an Warlocks around here. Prolly 60 or 70 % are on baggers.

 

Me and the little lady went cracker barrell last sunday. they seated us next to a 1%. I say that because his vest said a lot of things including 1%. He was on a bagger. Saw him leave. When we were seated he looked us over and didn't speak. I had on blue jeans sweat sh and boots and vest.

He didn't tarry. Ate in hurry and left. $5.00 tip. I was just interested is the reason I remember. That was in South Pittsburg Tn. Just outside Chattanooga.

 

stripped down Sporties are where it's at

 

Hate to burst your bubble but a lot of 1%ers ride baggers now.Times have changed.

 

why does it matter what 1% ride? i would seriously dought that there are any in this forum, just based upon their not needing advice or caring to share advice. i myself, **my opinoin** could care less about 1%ers. to each his own but just bc your in a club or ride 20,000 miles a year or own so and so bike dosent mean you get more respect. you gotta give respect to earn respect, to me thats a true 1%er.

 

Think I'll get me a patch that says 99%
