I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

When I was lobying for ABATE for motorcycle rights, I had to work with a lot of the patched clubs. Most of the guys were polite and friendly. There's always a few although haven't really seen it hanging with you clowns. I even had to go to their club house. Not as fun as it sounds I promise you.
@Ralph - that explains why you don't ride street anymore...too afraid you'll get felt up. Ah well, what can you do when you're a superstar...

"So live your life so the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their views, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide."

Let's see...Meeting of the Minds, two years ago, during the tug of war, the guy holding the microphone elected me to be one teams mascot while my back was turned, put his arm around me and wouldn't let me leave. I finally had to push his arm off me and tried to walk away but he kept chasing me down. No idea who he was and when I protested, I was the rude one and I should just "understand". At work, older gentleman started giving me hugs, first started with the side hug then moved to full body hugs. His hands started to wander. When I complained I was told there was nothing my company could do as I was a consultant and that it would look poorly on me to complain as this guy had been with the company 25 years and was well respected. Every single time I work the ABATE booth at the big swap meet in Febuary down at the stock show complex, there seems to be a sub set of guys who think it's ok to come up and give me a hug, simply because I'm standing there trying to give information about ABATE. Now, I'm a friendly person and I generally get along with most folks, but there is a big difference between me giving a hug to someone I know and getting hugged simply because I'm female and cute. If I protest or try and back away, I'm the one that's seen as rude and then I get snarled at. I stand up for me. I don't have a problem saying something isn't ok but it takes more than one voice to change the world. :-)

Lobbying for motorcycle rights or not, that's not a safe environment for a lone woman to be in. Someone should have gone with you, especially if you had to go to their club houses. God knows what goes on at those places.
The cynic in me looks at it this way too. Lobby motorcycle rights in a place that actually matters. Who really cares what biker gangs think or what their rights are? My opinion, they joined a gang. I less concerned about their safety on the highway and more interested in when they'll become just another statistic...

Would love to except they are down at the capital every week, working with the powers that be and they have a strong voice. Politics being politics, you have to get people to work together which means building relationships. Actually that trip they were super polite while I was there and we were able to get their support for the MOST bill which then passed. Ug politics...

I really have very little understanding of these clubs, but you should be careful because they may see that as "agreeing" to be involved. I was approached by a patched club member, we had a polite conv, and he asked me if I wan't to "hang around", which I politely declined and ended the conv
So many fucked up things in this thread....where to start?!
Meh those 1%ers are just big ol sissys that need a hug. And possibly hang out in sissys bars.
well if we're going to be asked to go up to 1%ers with "not cool", guess what, ain't going to happen. I would escort the lady to safety maybe

Oh of course biker gangs feel right at home with Politicians. They are cut from the same stock. Both are sleazy and underhanded, just one set use the law to screw the people over and make their living, while the other resort to illegal activities to make their way of living. The only reason they are there trying to lend a voice to their cause, is because they are in each others pockets.
Oh I had a rather pleasant "run in" with a patched local here last Fall. Rolled up next to him at the light just to say hi and shoot the sh*t with another motorcyclist. I was then chastised for pulling up next to him and that I should know my place is behind him.
I gave him a nice little head start and then proceeded to introduce him to what a real performance bike can do. Needless to say, after I slowed back down he tried chasing me for a bit, all the while I kept taunting him by waving back at him. I'd jump ahead of him, turn back and wave, let him catch up, then do it again. He wouldn't pull up next to me at the next light, instead he just rolled past me looking straight ahead as he ended up in the right lane, while I was in the middle behind a car. As the light went green, I yelled as I went past for him to buy a real bike. Then proceeded on my happy way.
I'm sorry, but I've got zero respect for these gang affiliated patch wearing f*gs. I'm sure there are some very nice people within these clubs. But my experience has been with the d-bags of the clubs. And the guy could have been a very nice guy as well but he showed how much of a tool he really was, when he told me my place was behind him. Just because he was on a Harley and me on a Japanese bike, gave him some sense of entitlement and superiority. Well I shoved that right down his throat when I went by.
Really??
You don't have to be confrontational but at least do the gentlemanly thing and request that they leave the lady alone. If they have a shred of manhood within them, they will realize their mistake and take it as a lesson learned. They may smack talk you, but in reality does it matter? As long as you do the right thing. I'll agree asking the lady if she needs to be escorted to a safer place is the right thing to do.
P.S.
you might say I was being confrontational in my story but I honestly wasn't. I was just being a dick to someone that was asking for it. In normal circumstances I wave to all kinds of riders. I appreciate all kinds of bikes and if I roll up next to someone at the stoplight and say, "hello, great day to be riding," I expect a cordial response back. I'm not asking to be life long buddies, but just a kind gesture from one motorcycle enthusiasts to another. But that was my first mistake. I didn't roll up next to another motorcycle enthusiast, instead I rolled up next to a biker.
Motorcyclist = Normal everyday people
Biker = d-bag's

I agree the irony in that the troll got trolled is hilarious. I guess I thought it a bit delta bravo coming from a prospective VP candidate but then again that's what makes it even better. The last guy you would expect to troll on some guy's wife and it was Joe Biden doing it.
