I stand by my comments. They are people and they need to know when to act like it and that their philosophy of life and riding is theirs and theirs only.

God did not stamp them at birth with a patch that places them outside any shred of common decency.

Respect as it is said is "earned" and not given. Any man or woman who would go so far as to ask someone to remove a harmless non threatening symbol of "respect" like a PGR patch on the back of a jacket and threaten violence for non compliance needs psychological help.

If someone really is an Outlaw and would go so far as to do bodily harm to another rider simply because he or she is wearing a patch that they might somehow construe in and of itself as not deferring to their needed "respect" is someone who is in need of a life.

Its people like that ...exactly like that that give motorcyclists a bad name.

So ..relax. I have no interest in being in a club nor do I search any of them out. Nor would I wear their patch for any reason. But I do thumb my nose at the hardcore types who are true criminals regardless of whether they work at a circle K or happen to be a lawyer.

Motorcycling is just that...motorcycling. Being an "Outlaw" signifies something else altogether.
