In my young and impressionable youth I ran with a couple of 1% clubs on the east coast. An old grey beard told me; Sonny Boy don't never put no patch on yer back cause it ain't nothing but trouble. Don't spill no blood over who screwed who and who rode where. Ride where you want when you want ; party in moderation ; come to the party early leave early and you'll live longer with fewer scars.

Nope, but guy looked at me funny once when I pointed to his 1%er patch and said "I don't think you should have to pay higher taxes."

10-1 odds says this dude is even a bigger douche than his post made him sound
At a meeting at the 2009 national PGR rallye in Ogden, Utah, all members present were informed of a situation in Oklahoma, and told not to wear any PGR insignia while traveling through Oklahoma until the situation was resolved.

I do not recall the details of the situation, nor do I care. This post is only to verify that it happened and I was there at that meeting.

If you, however, care, or doubt this post, here is a link :

I remember something about the big triangle back patch a few years back.the part I don't believe is the threat of death. I think the deal was it was supposed to be a small front patch or some ****. Didn't pay much attention to it then because like now it doesn't concern me

I know what happens in the movies I know what my gut tells me might happen, just curious from those in that lifestyle if I need to worry.

I believe this is possibly the dumbest question I've ever seen asked here...

I recently was with my dad at a event a hour or so away from home, and there were a lot of non 1% clubs around like the B.A.C.A.,USMC and various other clubs like these. We had been there long enough to get our tickets and get ready to go in when i notice that my dad is talking to one of his old "buddies". I knew the guy as i had been a year ahead of his son(RIP Johnny). Turns out he is now in the Pagans. We shook hands and talked for a few then he went on his way. Nice guy.

That said club life is not something i want, i know its not close but when i was enrolled in college i did join a frat. After a semster i quit school and the frat cause i was not going to pay to be peoples friend.

I had my t-shirt ripped open when I soloed an airplane the first time.
Does that count?
