OK ... fair enough. You don't have the experience to know who's in what club or what a 1% club is and that they may be a 1% club only because they don't follow the prescribed rules set by the AMA
From Wikipedia
Outlaw (or one percenter) can mean merely that the club is not chartered under the auspices of the American Motorcyclist Association,[2] implying a radical rejection of authority and embracing of the "biker" lifestyle defined and popularized since the 1950s
MANY 1% clubs are like that. Yes I know many professionals in the clubs because I hangout with them ... a lot. You don't ... so you wouldn't know ... BUT who they are and their numbers is STRICTLY club business and not to be discussed. Since you are NOT a patch holder as I thought you were you are not responsible to know ALL the rules. But you should be aware of the ones that if broken can cause you "problems"
I was guesstimating the number since you insisted on one. It could be much higher because nearly evey event we’ve attended over the years from local shows to national ones have them in attendance.I would not say a rare exception since most clubs have at least one. I’ve bee riding longer than 25 years.I did not say that I estimated roughly extremely roughly when put on the spit by someone who seems that no matter what I might say wants to make themselves right. Perhpas people are tellying you a truth you don’t want to hear?Thanks funny because when we were in Sturgis I started to feel bad from low blood sugar and the guy in the local med wagon was wearing one of those patches you just mentioned so of course you must be right? *eyeroll*

Exactly. You try to tell someone the truth but they insist on their own idea being the truth. I have no idea how you came up with the things you said since it is obivious you have never lived in my world or clamper1797’s. What makes you think you know so much about something you know so little about?
ROFLOL! Just imagine what would happen to him doing this to me in person since I am one of the ol ladies. LOL I know what has happened to a few who seemed to think it was a good idea to try to pick up some of us in a bar while we were wearing our patch.Some people just like to play with fire I guess?
You’re in a ma and pa club? ... I used to be in one ... had too many g-friends though. The Ma’s didn’t like that.
Is it permissible to ask what club you belong to, or is that off limits?
Sorry, I don’t have to use wiki for my references on bikes and bikers. Isn’t that like claiming that SAMCRO represents most MC’s?
I think you’ve got your mind made up to try to insult me in any way you can that you aren’t reading with comprehension.
You know who is in your club and who isn’t. I’m just skeptical of there being significant numbers of judges and doctors in the MC world, let alone in 1% clubs.
Certainly some judges and some doctors ride. And certainly there are other degreed professionals who ride. No question on that.
And without a doubt not all 1% clubs are criminal organizations and not all 1%ers are criminals. Most of those I’ve known were pretty decent guys. Some were jerks who just liked to cause trouble because they knew they had friends to back the up even when wrong.
The MC world isn’t for me. Too many rules and too little freedom for my tastes. I don’t need a sense of belonging that is shared by those with a common interest and a common feeling of disaffection with the cultural norms of society that bonds them into a brotherhood.
But others do, and that’s their decision and their right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
Even if they are judges and doctors. Or librarians.
Oh, c’mon. Doesn’t every criminal organization have a right to be themselves?
Whose your club affiliated with? Wild Hogs?
You think I’m trying to pick you up or hit on you??
You can’t be serious, can you?
((eyes roll, face palm!))
Trust me, it ain’t happening.
The only women allowed to wear the patch in our group had to be wives. All else were condsidered temporaries.Not many temporaries when we were out on runs the single guys would rather be free to shop around,IYKWIW. :)
Property of patch ?
I didn;’t say that I said basically you were bothering me with questions which would lead to the same treatment as somone trying to pick up one of the wives.Don’t flatter yourself.
My ladies club name was Gerbil ... she was/is my angel in heaven now.
My ol lady would have decked him by now
I’m not much of a fighter being as I’m not a big person. I always mostly tried to walk away if I was being bothered and if they chose to follow it was at their own peril. Seldom were any of us ladies too far from view not all shows are places where it’s safe for a woman off on her own.
I do indeed ... but got ultra loyal when I met my lady. She covered my back in several "tight" situations
She was a martial artist specialized in blades. She had some wooden swords we would play with on club outings. None of the members could get near her.
