Or were you talking about joining a Riding Club?
All club are not the same with their dues. I would also say not all clubs are not like the above. As I have said before there are many different types of clubs out there and just because you are in a club doesnt mean your a 1%. I get alot of good info from this website but in my opionio when you ask anything about a club most people in here blow it up or are really negative. But even with the smaller clubs there is still alot to do with being in a club like madotory runs, local charity runs and stuff like that so it can be time consuming.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the OP is a: New to the world of Motorcycles, b: Is abit concerned with the amount of "dues" required to be in this "club", as it may cause a financial hardship with the payment to the MOCO for the new ride, and c: (no disrespect intended) hasn't gotta fuggin clue about what being in a MC is or means.........might I suggest talking with your "club" of choice about your concerns? Remember, club business is and should always remain, club business. Talk to your sponsor. He knows you're new to the bike world. (Which makes me wonder why they would consider you for a member, but I digress). If you are questioning your OWN choice, it ain't for you. 'Nuff said.

I'm thinking about 60.00 a week. That pays for two bottle of decent single malt scotch and should about cover you. Yes ? No ?

Well finding out everyone's opinion has been very insightful. There are some of us that may have been watching too much television though. LOL

True, some do go overboard. We are not giving away club business guys. We all will place different values on things, respectfully speaking. I have noticed however, that even within membership you will find different opinions on this issue. I will not comment on 1% clubs for they are a whole different aspect of the community and have my utmost respect for they laid the groundwork for the community as a whole.

Whatever it costs, DO IT!!!

You will eventually get "patched in" and then you can go back to those boys who pushed you around in middle school and show them who you are now, dammit!

(I mean, if you're starting that journey by asking these questions on the internet under a pseudonym, I can't imagine why else you would consider it.)
