I am not a bikie but a biker, I don't need to be a clubie to ride with other bikers, my mates when we all get together for a weekend or a party somewhere we become a big group but not one of us are patch wearing members we are all mates that have a love of motorcycles, who enjoy a big drink together, we party hard when we get the chance and we all look after each other when we had to much party.
A while back a mate and myself were thinking of starting up a socal bike riding club for British bikes only but a few other mates who ride Harlies wanted to be involved and then other bike mates with Jap or other bikes wanted to be involved as well, it just got to big, only wanted a small group, once you get to big the outlaw clubs put pressure on your club and try to take over or you get seen by the law to make sure you are not into it for vice things etc and decided to keep things the way they are, I had two T shirts made up with our club name on it just for myself and my mate who came up with the idea so only 2 offical lifetime member, who knows maybe it will get off the ground one day, but only as a socal club for small group, but we have so many biker friends in our home area who are a good bunch of friends.
