Confederation of Clubs and Independents -- learn about what/how they are
here and know that their meetings are held all over the U.S. and have been for more than 20 years without a single violent incident, that CoCI members include not only average lone motorcycle enthusiasts who are affiliated with ZERO club, but a total "mish-mash" (direct quote) of every kind of biker club that exists in the U.S., from mom-and-pop charity riders to Veterans clubs to Christian riders, and that
every CoCI meeting is open to anyone on a motorcycle and
open to anyone interested in discussing legislation affecting motorcycle riders. The meetings are typically open-mic affairs.
Just exactly the kind of event where true bad-ass professional career criminal bikers would shoot it out mere moments after they'd ridden their Harleys past at least half a dozen clearly marked cop cars at the entrance of the parking lot. NOT.
