If you don't believe me take a trip to the Bulldog Bash this month on 10th ,11th -there are some great bands on the main stage .It's a Hells Angels MC event open to all and an annual shindig.Always a great weekend. Keep your Gob shut ,enjoy the music and see for yourself.It's been very peaceful for the last 8 years but it's still an eye-opener for those outside the Biker World.
Anybody else reading .......go to the Bulldog,great Music and support the club who promote it.

Sweetly ironic for Emp!
He had worked on my bike only a couple of weeks before. This was nothing to do with the general public.

That's what you call a proper bike. Not one of those noisy-arse, twin-cylinder pieces of doo-doo.
Anyway, in my experience, long standing MCC members who have ridden all their lives tend to just ride - without the need to show off or announce their presence by deliberately making a racket. As I said, it's the born-again bikers with the mid-life crises that feel the desperate need for such attention.

FWIW Shouldn't this thread be in Speakers Corner, not Off Topic?
Indeed, but giving him the benefit of the doubt I look forward to hearing what happens when he calls one of these guys a tool to his face instead of ranting here.
Why is it infantile to try and explain to you that the sort of comments you are spouting will get you very seriously hurt in the wrong environment.....ie overheard down at the pub by the wrong people. You don't even know what you are talking about - the MCC members "of your experience " are generally not the sort of people who would be particularly nasty; Thats not the element I was cautioning you about ; but the outlaw clubs,The MC s , would delight in being very brutal to you for those kind of comments.
Aside from that you would probably get clumped by any normal person who you call a TOOL without them provoking you beyond the fact that you didn't like the noise of their exhaust .......or for that matter anybody you insult by calling names ....would you walk up to somebody in the street and insult them because you don't like the colour of their shirt ?
I don't know ,you might be a huge guy and able to deter the reaction but my guess is that 3 out of 10 people that you call a tool will take a swing at you.
This poor guy on his bike ,probably his pride and joy was doing you no real harm .....so you launch an ill-informed tirade on here catching people who may happen to be of that age group or have those bikes in your crossfire.
When somebody like me ,who was caught in your crossfire and insulted makes a point - you don't even apologise ;I have never commented on some of your posts about Chavs etc nor wished you ill will because it's not my business - being labelled a tool by you is my business.I didn't ask to be insulted by you or have my lifestyle slid under your microscope. I was merely telling you that your comments are inflammatory and you are lucky not have said them in the wrong company and to be careful you don't .
If I made unpleasant comments about ,say, the IRA somebody may wisely say " I wouldn't spout -off like that if you're ever in a pub in the Kilburn area .........." Why would that be infantile.? I would call it bloody good advice.
Infantile is not putting the brain in gear before the Typing finger or the inability use a little discretion.
Now write out 100 times ........I must smile at middle aged bikers on Harleys with noisy exhausts because there are bigger issues in life.
As I said, generally it's used as a term to cover any Motorcycle Club, back patch, side patch, no patch and patch the dog.
I've know of plenty of of motorcycle clubs that have nothing to do with back patches, or even support clubs, many many groups have the term MC in their title.
As I also said I knew you were referring to MC in the more specific term ie 1%er (we seem to be OK with this Americanism?) But I know of a group of 4 guys who have the blessing to be an MC from the local back patch crew, just 4 guys who decided they needed their own group, it's really not that big a deal anymore.
Support clubs are rarely coerced, it's a 2 way street they offer numbers and potential prospects to the big guys, the big guys offer credibility and a little security to the small fish.
The 1% patch has been used here since the early 80s ,I know it's American origin and reason but when you think about it all the big clubs are American origin anyway.........
What happens if all those motorcyclists were also piss-heads?
All that noise and wasted power to transport one person in discomfort.
I visited the Yorkshire dales for the first time on sunday 9th July and it was very nearly my last and that of a bicker in too much of a hurry, luckily I stopped in my side of the road so he could use it to overtake a truck otherwise he couldn't keep up with his mates!! Twats the lot of them laying down on the twisting lanes that have stone walls right on the edge.
I do get the thrill and did grass/scramble/motor cross type stuff as a lad, but the road is for all road users not your playground.
Agree with you there seen many a power ranger look a like riding like absolute clowns with no regard for other traffic at all, but that's the same as some car users, it's not bikers or car drivers, they are just life's arse holes just becomes more obvious when they are using he same road as you.
I used to be a mad sod on a bike. I don't have one now, haven't been on one for many years.
I do know this: The older I get, the more I am aware of my own mortality.
