Bikers in wacko..........
I have a diverse family. We have an annual pig roast around Independence Day. Sometimes members of a motorcycle club (some would call them an outlaw gang), friends to my wife’s aunt and uncle (that owns the pig roaster) show up. They like showing off their bullet wounds. But they are told, respectfully as there are kids around, to be on their best behavior or they have to leave. And the uncle is the enforcer. I always have a couple of bottles of Jack Daniels on hand just incase they show. Also, many police officers attend the pig roast, friends of my son-in-law the cop. We’ve never had any problems in 12 years we've been doing the pig roasts. And what’s most interesting is the gang members and the cops usually huddle together under some trees, drinking (although the cops never have more than 1 alcoholic drink), laughing and talking about bikes. The gang members even let the cops jump on their bikes and take them for a spin. Last year 4 extremely good looking girls who just finished competing in a Spartan Race up the road stopped at our pig roast. They saw we were having a party and asked if they could join in. I said sure, everybody’s welcome, as long as they act as family and just have fun. When they were ready to leave that evening they thanked me for a wonderfully crazy time and all the good food and drink, and said nobody back in Ohio would believe the day they had here, so they took lots of pictures.
Wacko bikers in wacko Waco
...understand they've declared de facto war on the constabulary
I heard this on the news just as I was finishing "The End Of The Whole Mess" and how peaceful Waco was in the book. Ironic.
I use to do catering for some bike clubs, hog roasts, steak bbqs and such, for 'up days' and meetings mostly, though the occasional just havin' a party type thing, great tippers.
Last one, when she could still get around, had to bring my Mama, twas groovy with them, I mean they all had Mama's, and they treaded her like a queen.
We had to spend the night and they put her up in a real nice air conditioned r.v. (I got a cot with a sheet I still don't care to ponder about in the barn/clubhouse) and made sure she was never left alone while I worked...hell they loved her.
Yeah books and covers, and not by a long shot are all m.c.'s are the same
Well, they are outlaw biker gangs. They do shoot at each other and the cops when they are in the middle. At least their stupidity is self contained, meaning that there usually isn't collateral damage.
That said, I've played and worked the door for shows at bars where there have been a large biker presence. Never had any trouble with them there.
In fact, we had one group that liked to come up and sing when we covered Social Distortion's Ball and Chain. We justet them up and handed them the mic as we played

...the bikers I've been around have usually behaved like gentleman and ladies even if they ARE hard-core color flyin' bad-asses....it all has to do with the club/gang and not backing down to being "dissed" or threatened...do I think the firefight was appropriate?...hell no, but I can understand it....
It's all about stickin' up for them colors, and those colors don't run or back down, hell even the 'boys' in their very own infamous, blue, they understand that, I mean they ain't too awful much different than 'club', not really
Though tragic, this has got to be the coolest bad news I've heard in weeks.
....no sir they aren't....the old line is true...hang together or hang separately....
I thought it a little ironic that I'd just finished watching SOA when I heard this news...
I'm watching it right now; reruns of Season 2. 8 episodes in a row tonight
Whoa... binge-fest!
I just watched the finale last night. (2nd time for me)
I haven't yet saw episodes 9 thru 13 of Season 6 or any of Season 7. The channel it moved to is too expensive in this area to
subscribe to.
The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
I can see the appeal of bikes. I can understand people wanting to ride them, I can understand people wanting to associate with like minded people and be part of a brotherhood, but violent motorcycle gangs - I'm sorry, but them killing each other is not going to cause me to lose much sleep. I wonder how old these people were, the black/Latino gang wars in the West coast of the USA is mostly fought between young men who have a glamorised image of gang life, and by the time they're 30 or so regret their whole lifestyle. The violent bikers just don't seem to grow up, I've seen police shows about them and they all have grey beards or white moustaches and none of them look younger than 40. Those kind of bikers are doing the world a favour cleansing the gene pool a bit by taking themselves out of it.
