Yes, I guess that would be a good analogy...but I always saw it more as a crude [but impressive] form of chivalry.

It does seem like a good fit. From
The Code of the West"...no "written" code ever actually existed. However, the hardy pioneers who lived in the west were bound by these unwritten rules that centered on hospitality, fair play, loyalty, and respect for the land.""Though the cowman might break every law of the territory, state and federal government, he took pride in upholding his own unwritten code. His failure to abide by it did not bring formal punishment, but the man who broke it became, more or less, a social outcast. His friends hazed him into the cutbacks and he was subject to the punishment of the very code he had broken."
The modern day "hog" man might play hard and have a distinctly libertarian view of social norms but when it comes to matters of honor and country, they're rock solid (with exceptions, I'm sure).

"Get thee." Of course, Amish bikers are outlaws, so Elizabethan usage rules aren't strictly adhered to, you understand.
Imagine all of the possible Amish biker stickers:
"My coach be a hog."
"Churn rubber."
And so on.
To: NonValueAdded
Yes, it does!
And thanks for the great website!

I have ridden with Bikers Against Child Abuse a few times and I can tell you the members of BACA are some of the nicest people you would ever want to meet; unless you have ever hurt a kid. Believe me, you would not want to be an abuser and meet up with BACA members.

The “shade guy” had a distinctly “military” pose going on so you’re probably right.

AWESOME THREAD! I will be sending the link to the SD PGR captains to spread through the state!! THANK YOU for the thread. And the quote is true. It isn’t about us, it is about the troops, the veterans, those fighting and those who have fallen. It is an honor to stand for them, holding flag line to protect and shield them.(SD PGRer)

Last March I stood Marshal with Rolling Thunder members, at GOE in DC. They, like PGR, have great hearts!! We have some people who are members of both organizations, here.
