Motorcycle Clubs

[MOFO YO]

I dont disagree with anyone joining a club..but i'm the type that wont wear a patch or colors..seen even the good guy's in clubs get pulled over by the police...I have even been pulled over (at gun point) by the police while on my bike...just because of the assumptions of the mototrcycle culture....We just have a bunch of fella's that will ride with anyone who comes along for a great day..JMO...LIVE TO RIDE...

Nice - I have been considering filing paperwork for SAR and SCV, but I'm not sure I really need the extra things to go to. Besides, as much as I know and appreciate the history, wearing the Battle Flag around here would not be good for my well-being.

The only group I've ridden with is the local H.O.G. chapter--a member of which got me on my bike to begin with. I'm friends with a number of MC members, none of which pretend to be anything like SOA. (Heck, they're almost all cops.) Their MCs are fraternal, and I've never had much of a desire for that, but for those that do...more power to em.

Try the Southern Cruisers Riding Club. They have charters all over the place.

I'm the VP of a local MC. We aren't a 1% club, nor do we act like one. It's very much like -AJ said, just a group of guys that chill and ride. We've got a shop out at the airport where we work on our bikes. The shop also serves as a club house. We don't have dues, or anything like that. However, if you want to be in the actual club, the only thing you have to buy is the back patches. . . .

So I've read some your posts in other threads. Just kinda caught my attention.

Wondering if your club has a three-piece patch or something similar.

There's an awful lot about clubs that hasn't been discussed. And maybe should be, once again.

For most on this forum they aren't a good idea.

I dont want to start a "Club", Im just trying to get a group started here in my area. Seems like folks talk about how they want to get together and have group rides, but dont like to commit. Oh well guess my wife and I continue to ride by ourselves.

Nice scoot.

There is a guy in my class that is a member of the US Military Veterans MC...in his words; "They are closer to a 1% club than any of the other "Veteran" MCs, and are a member of the CoC". I like the idea of the brotherhood and camaraderie, but OTOH I would not want to take that much time away from my family as most clubs require.

One of the other guys and I were talking about SoA, and "real" MCs, and he said that every guy that he knew that was in an MC ran afoul of the law at some point, most of them serious infractions, and most ruined their lives.

ymmv

You may want to say where you live so that you could get some help.

If it is Illinois CLUBS.HTM

can be of help.

If any one knows of some clubs in Northern Illinois I would be happy to hear about them.
