Hey, it use to be an issue here in the 60's and 70's in Florida, they been behaving themselves I reckon. I ain't heard of any biker problems in this state for thirty years.
On April 3rd, 2005 in Syracuse NY...27 y/o man shot and killed leaving a private biker club. Athuroties say it is unclear if he was shot in the club or while leaving...
Leila... you're right... except the guy that got blown away wasn't even a Patch... all's he was doin was wearin a club "support" shirt... I'm not sure we're talkin about the same "incident" though...
Like Harley Dragon, I'm not going to name names, but we just had two members of one club blow away a member of another club when he walked into the "wrong" bar, which was a local sports bar. Local papers and P.D. tried to blame it on "jumping over" problems, as they put it, from club to club. I see trouble...
I don't doubt that, they use to be in the news all the time through the 70's. They must have scaled back on their activity's and types of entertainment because I can't remember any mention of any clubs for a long time.

I've ridden with the same club for 18 years. If you feel uncomfortable around clubs, stay away:) All I can say is, my lady can AND DOES feel safe and protected ANYWHERE we go.
All, I appreciate your candor and respect it deeply. Just so that you all know...I do not do drugs of any kind, the favor that was done for me was by a club member who has been a personal friend of mine for many years even prior to club membership; would never consider wearing a "property" patch; hell I have enough problems changing my name in marriage and doing the "obey" thing..I'd have a hard enough time being someone else's property, don't think I would last very long. So rest assured, I have the brains, wits, and wherewithall to keep myself safe and out of trouble, far enough removed from danger, but I have read and will keep with me all the information you have provided in your posts with the care and concern you have intended. Thanks and with much love.
HD/Cheshire - Y'all know what you're talking about & it's good you are being blunt about it.
I have never associated with these types of clubs nor have any desire to do so.
On that note, I've backed out all my previous replies on this subject.
bug,I hope you not only heard it loud and clear but will remember it too. This is not a word game..The safe and secure that you denied in your last post to me means the same thing as the safety and protection that you praised them for in your first post. Getting dopey , partying and being the center of attention will stop being fun if you are pulling a train.I am not trying to give you a hard time here but only trying to get you to be smart because I honestly care about you and your welfare
Those of you that know me from this site know I seldom get serious here very often. But I am dead serious when I say that anyone who does not have an intimate knowledge of 1%ers needs to pay close attention to what HD, Blu, Char, Chessie, Falcon, and others are saying. They know of what they speak.
