This was an interesting thread when it started....I liked the MC creedo that was spelled out. I see the value in that. Wish some of the folks I've ridden with looked out for each other like that. What's amusing to me is a couple I know that LOVE the whole SOA show (to the point of the Mrs. actually wearing an SOA T-shirt) but will NOT go to one of the local biker venues because 1%ers have been known to show up their once in a while. I don't mingle with 1%ers because we are from different worlds. No way I would diss any of them, any more than I would diss a guy on a Suzi,Kawa, Yama, whatever. Just makes no sense to purposely **** people off or butt in to their business. But I am not intimidated by them either. Don't care what anybody wears or doesn't wear. Again, none of my beeswax.
