If a motorcycle club exists for the comaradierie of the sport and to further riding than that would seem fine. Once again if the primary purpose of and or to earn membership in a club requires one to be a party to illegal activities or violence than thats just wrong.



I agree...while I only know a few of the members here, they are working guys with families and jobs and businesses...they are continuously harassed (unfairly and in some cases even unjustifiably IMO) by the local law enforcement agencies simply for being members of a club that is a designated 'OMG'...some cities are even making it ILLEGAL to wear support gear, let alone colours! I have a real problem with that...it stomps all over our right to freedom of association and freedom of expression. I know there are bad HA members, and maybe some chapters may be involved in 'questionable activities'...there are bad bikers who aren't members of OMG's, too...there are bad cops, which IMO is worse, crooked judges and lawyers and CEO's...but guilt by association is just wrong...I've seen the videos, and I'm sure you have, too, of clean-cut kids on their 200 HP sport bikes, ripping in and out of traffic on a busy freeway at speeds up to 150mph or even more...IMO this does more damage to the image of motorcyclists, and poses more dangers than a group of HA's on a ride...
