I had a couple of f *expletive deleted*faces from some small 1% support club tell me to take my CVMA vest off once. I told them if they wanted it removed, they'd have to do it. They all talked a big game , but when it came down to it they chickened out.


I'm going to assume that a CVMA vest is a motorcycle club membership vest. What was their problem with it?

That club's not 1% enough to have vests.

not a club, an association. we don't have "territory" and it's a simple one piece patch. It's actually a veterans charity who like to ride motorcycles, more than a motorcycle "club"

They said that where i was at was "their" turf.

Which is asinine on many levels (since we aren't a club), but the chief of which is that the dominant clubs had long  ago put the word out that we were to have free reign anywhere we went.


From what I understand the CoC dick smacked them over the issue.

Yes.  Clubs are territorial like gangs.  The bad ones are 1 % ers which stands for the 1% who break the law and do anything for the club.  Hells angels etc.  you gotta earn a 1% patch and usually not by doing something pretty.

1% comes from a misquote from American Motorcycle Association after the Hollister, CA Riot in 1947.

Something 99% of motorcyclists don't act like the ones that caused the problems in Hollister.

So they're rebels, and outlaws, and don't care about the rules. Until you wear something they don't like on the wrong side of some territorial line, and then they suddenly care very much about the rules. Must have good order, musn't we, old chap?

Between the bicyclists and bikers, there seems to be some mental derangement involved in riding two-wheeled vehicles, as an adult. This should be investigated.

Questioning them is a good way to end up seriously beaten or dead, along with your family. They don't *expletive deleted*ck around with people who try to figure them out.

Alright I'm going to give you a rundown about the OMCs and colors.

Most Outlaw Motorcycle clubs have a three piece patch on the back of their vest. It'll have a top rocker, the main patch, and the bottom rocker. You'll see that the top rocker has the MC name, the bottom rocker often the location, and the main patch will be the logo.

Sometimes you will see riders with  single rocker on the bottom of the jacket that says "prospect". These are people looking to join the OMC...they are associating with the OMC, going to events with the OMC, and often will engage in criminal activity in order to prove their loyalty to the OMC. 

Any group that is wearing a design in the same style (i.e., a three piece patch) as an OMC will likely be hassled by an OMC...they are rather protective of "their" style.

Quote
So they're rebels, and outlaws, and don't care about the rules.

Oh no, OMCs care very much about rules. The difference is they only care about the rules of the club (most have a constitution and elected officers, and meet regularly). Their only allegiance is to the club.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Also, as a reminder, there are way more non 1% clubs/organizations than there are one percenter clubs.

You mean the motorcycle gangs, or the guys in the spandex? In either case, I wasn't planning to track them down and tell them the error of their ways.

So, it's kinda like when a girl finds out some other girl just showed up, wearing the same dress?

http://www.bostonherald.com/news_opinion/national/southwest/2015/05/charges_filed_against_170_motorcycle_gang_members_in_texas

There are a bunch of articles, but looks like Twin Peaks revoked the franchise and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has temporarily revoked their alcohol permit.  Heard the local manager had some involvement with one of the biker gangs.  Not sure if that last was in an article or not.

I think most outlaw bikers are more like sociopaths who happen to ride motorcycles than they are hard-core bikers. The ones I've actually spoken to didn't know squat about working on bikes or what makes them go. I had the pleasure of watching one outlaw absolutely destroy his clutch and primary chain after he had them apart. Every time I'd offer advice, he'd tell me to *expletive deleted*ck off. The clatter when he started up the bike was music to my ears.

My ex-BIL was put in the hospital for three days by a Milwaukee Outlaw for absolutely no reason. Just wanted to beat someone to death, and BIL was the first person he saw. When the cops talked to BIL, they told him he could press charges, but then he'd be in danger from the rest of the club. So, the Outlaw was never charged.

Cops are reporting large numbers of out of area bikers coming to town after the festivities and sticking around. Local hospital where the injured are being treated is locked down to prevent reprisal killings.

Between the bicyclists and bikers, there seems to be some mental derangement involved in riding two-wheeled vehicles, as an adult. This should be investigated.

Submitted for your approval and to prove your point:  After I rode the Suzuki DL650 to and from the office today, clad in my fluorescent neon Olympia suit, I came home and rode one of my bicycles for ten miles, clad in my fluorescent neon spandex jersey, but just regular shorts.  Clear evidence of derangement. Or senility.  :old:

Here's a WaPo puff piece on the Bandidos, with some useful background on the OMC phenomenon.

Interesting tidbit from this article. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/05/18/waco-shootout-police-involvement/27530257/

Quote
A warning bulletin was even issued May 1 by the Texas Joint Information Center run by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

"Violence between members of the Bandidos OMG and the Cossacks MC has increased in Texas with no indication of diminishing," according to the bulletin. "The conflict may stem from Cossacks members refusing to pay Bandidos dues for operating in Texas and for claiming Texas as their territory by wearing the Texas bottom rocker on their vests, or 'colors' or 'cuts."

According to the bulletin, law officers had been actively trying to reduce tensions between the two groups and had met with them about it. They had been cautioned about the "unwanted attention a potential war would bring to both groups," the bulletin said.

I'd imagine that some of them are in fact urban youth rap listening groups.

You seem to be taking violent organized criminal enterprises rather lightly.
