You don't have to agree with it or even like it, but you DO have to understand that MC's DO belive in it and live by it!...

and there are different types of MC's but they all seem to abide by the "basic rules" both the "3" patch types and the more "family/local" "1" patch types...

I ride with enough of these guys in the PGR that I like to have a handel on the "rules" before I "play the game"...

I tend more toward a "lone wolf" type of attitude and will never belong to a MC 1 patch or otherwise...just not my thing, but I like to know the rules because I do go to pleanty of functions (bike events) where I do run into MC's alot...

Like Sal said treat everybody WITH respect (until such time as they prove the DON'T deserve it)

Maybe its just me but I'ld rather give it first then take it away, then make them earn it first...

Like the PGR says "riding with respect"
