Wow. I thought this thread died. Whoa, man....I was way off.
This thing has morphed in to a warped episode of Sesame Street; the letter today is "M". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TSl3JeH6qA
(thanks Cookie Monster, but you for got that "M" also stand for Moron).
Of course Moose bites hurt, but a moose-knuckle...
As for the new "Club" out of Spain; I too have sent mail. Sounds better than being a "Silent Skull" or a "Lone Wolf" member. Oh, one more thing....
Tonto was not Union, he was slave labor. Hence why ole "Kimosabe" wore a mask.

What it means to be a “Biker”.
Bikers march to the beat of their own drummer. Bikers do not dress like everyone else for the sake of fitting in. Most hardcore bikers will be seen in jeans or a vest be it denim or leather. A tee shirt is fancy dress. They tend not to wear sweaters or paten lather dress shoes and your die hard bikers wouldn’t know Dockers from khakis , they have tattoos, and piercings and they sport ripped jeans not as a fashion statement but as a rejection of the views or opinions of others, and bikers have been wearing ripped or torn faded jeans since long before old Navy and the likes made it a fashion statement and the mainstream attire of the status quos. And make no mistakes, they don’t care one little bit what anyone thinks about their attire. Other people’s insignificant and meaningless opinions will “not” be duly noted. Bikers are true individualists unique to themselves and the culture they identify with.

Why is it so important to say that you are a biker. A motorcycle is nothing untill it is mounted and then rode. If you chose to wear leathers and the doo-rags, have pierced ears, eyebrows, ect. that does not make you anything. You have to feel the bike, become one with it, if you will. When you reach this level of awareness then you are a rider. Does it matter what you wear? No. Does it matter who you hang with? No. Poeple are going to accept you for who you are. Or not.

Since I have been around awhile, (70 years old), I have seen bikers atire go from starched shirts and tie's in the 40's, to just about anything. I really don't think how your dress or look makes you a biker or not. To me, anyone that rides a motorcycle is a biker. It don't matter if they only ride it once a month. When they are on it, they are a biker. I started riding my first Harley in 1954 when I was 14 years old. I wore engineer boots and a zipper black leather jacket, but it was riding the bike that made me a biker. I was the only biker in the small town that I lived in, but I don't think people treated me any different because I was a biker. OK, maybe the girls did. LOL
