I ran with an outlaw biker club for quite a while..never a member...but attended all the members BBQs and was as welcome as any of them anywhere.

Thats was 21 years ago and i WAS one of those 1%. Trust me when i say my nickname MAD MAX is pretty accurate. I said that out of the knowledge that if he had said anything to me back then I would have kncoked his teeth out and then laid the boots to him.

I wouldnt have done it today. But back then it was the drunken drug fueled attitude and was just "normal" for me to do.

An old patchholder i know told me "they have to stop for gas sometime" meaning that is when you knock there teeth out. That might explain some seemingly random violence.
 
Biker gangs aren't limited to Harleys anymore....those days are long gone.
There are plenty of Japanese biker gangs, at least on the east coast. Some wear patches, but most will not. You probably wouldn't even notice them.
Patches are being seen less now, because it instantly puts you on the radar and attracts attention. It also makes you a standing target to rivals or any affiliates.
 
Some might say that if you don't dare wear your colors on the street,you don't matter.
 
Just thought I'd share a joke I heard once: 98% of all Harleys ever sold are still on the road, the other 2% made it home.
 
I liked the old guy I saw on a 70s CB750, had on the back of his helmet a sticker that said "Real bikers are a rare breed. Harley riders are dime a dozen."
 
I love seeing "I'd rather push a Harely than ride a Jap bike!" bumper stickers on Toyotas and Mazdas..
 
My Harley biker story follows. I've written it a few times, but most people here haven't yet been subjected to it.

In 1982 I was still riding my GT550. I rode it solo from Blookington, IL to Denver. In eastern Missouri, rain started pouring, so it was a good time to break for dinner at a small, local cafe. A short time after arrival, a Harley rider came in, also solo. The cafe was full, and he asked if he might sit with me. That was fine.

We talked for an hour as fellow bikers, not as a rice-burner guy and a Harley guy. Or mostly, he talked and I listened. He talked about the motorcycle club he belonged to. He talked about his brushed with the law, which were normal and common events to him. Mostly gambling infractions. He bragged about his bike. Economical, almost 30 mpg. Reliable, only had to spend a few minutes tightening fasteners every hundred miles or so.

I enjoyed his stories and he enjoyed having an audience. We parted on a friendly basis.

That's because he was a rider and didn't just try an image like far too many Harley buyers try to do.

I'd put my ridden Chinese 250 against any garage Harley any time.

OK, so I have to keep after the 250 too to keep it running; but just sayin...

That assumes that the H-D rider can stay close enough to the sportbike rider to catch up to him when he stops at a gas station and get to him before he leaves.

Unless the sportbike rider pulls over for gas within a few minutes of passing Mr. Puttputt, that's a pretty big assumption.
 
And the easy way to spot a Harley rider is.....he's the guy with the flies stuck to the back of his helmet.

That would account for the random nature of the potential violence, it will probably not be the same sport rider who pays the price.
 
i'm curious mr. dj, are you saying there are harley riders that would randomly pick a sportbike rider to beat up to pay back some other sportbike rider for passing him really fast and surprising him? do you know these people?

i mean it does sound like the type of thing some guys would say but would they actually do it?

I don't by that crap. I've rode the highways and never came across anyone like that. However I do kind of keep to myself. I'm friendly but I don't over do it... I think DJ is a little full of himself.
