Weekend Warriors

Anyone who knows me for any short time will know that i have a total dislike for the breed of apologist bikers that has grown up since the "instant cool school" started buying harleys and any bikes , started in thelate 80's early 90's. lol
I once asked a couple of guys sitting outside Picasso;s cafe in Londons Chelsea Kings Road " are you guys goin to Bulldog next week ? " and the reply ...." no we dont usually go to festivals but we do all ride up to the Hardrock every thursday ".............lol ..............hahaha hey but they did have bandannas and genuine shiney davidson leather jackets ! so they must be bikers eh ? Tossers!
anyway getting back to the point of all this ....which i rarely do ! lol
I just visited the "Biktoberfest" site for an update on last weeks gathering in Daytona. oh my dissappointment to see that the same weekend warrior attitude of " we are bikers but we are not bad boys, please like us " is rife even there .................yep instead of the usual riders rights type of ads we are used to there was a box stating "Loud Pipes Risk Rights".WTF my head went into an"exorcist" swivel on my body and the deep tone of the prince of darkness emanated from my busty-teethed gob..
"f**k em ......F**k em in the ass ....Motherf**ers"

take a look and laugh  http://biketoberfest.org/loud.cfm

F***ing apologists .....whatever happened to the spirit of "if you dont like what you see F**k you ! "

why dont we all just write a letter to "the man" ....." Dear Sir, can you please send me your rules on being wild and rebellious bikers .........so we know what we are allowed to do ................."

Hells Angels MC sueing Department of Homeland Security

Makes you wonder if the US Department of Homeland Security don't have anything better to do with their time . I read the story on Bykuz.com  and wish respect and success to the Angels in their taking these idiots to task on what is a matter of principle. Count the number of RICO [ Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act,^{] actions that have failed in relation to 1%er clubs.and in particular when they went after Sonny Barger...in the late 70's early 80's.[More on this]}
How long before they extend their criteria beyond  the clubs and to " bieng a biker" as the necessary requirement.
Any subculture will by it's very definition be a microcosm of the mainstream society in which it exists and will mirror the characteristics of the main society in many ways . Just as there is a certain proportion of individuals engaged in acts (defined by the mainstream society) of a perceived criminal nature in the mainstream society , there will be a similar proportion involved within the sub-culture.[ it is also important to consider that the mainstream societies definition of criminal acts may be such as to render certain lifestyles impossible without those acts, and may indeed have been deliberately designated as criminal in order to impose controls and facilitate criminal sanction on those subcultures.(anyone remember how the law in England- the Police and Criminal Justice Act 1994 was instigated in order to stop Raves and then attempted to stop gatherings of other types such as Biker festivals.? more on this here ).
The Authorities worldwide have failed dismally on many occasions to prove in court that clubs such as the Angels are criminal organisations 'per se' .

Who watches the watchers .......we should be watching these things so they do not chip away at our lifestyles and freedoms bit by bit without us realising until it is too late .
