Or, if you're gonna ride with others, do it to GO somewhere (like the twisties)......not just to be SEEN or hang out at a bar or jam up a highway just to show your colors. 
I guess if I was still in my 20's, there might be some social benefits I could get from being in a club......key word MIGHT.......but even that's a stretch. Why are people willing to put up with all that rules & regulations? Just so they can feel some esprit de corps? Join the military, then. Or get on a sports team. |
If you just hang out and ride... just don't do a 3 piece patch, don't patch it in the same design layout as a normal clubs do.

Exactly... but understand there are benefits of "family and friends" with your club brothers, a club house to hang out, all the things you see in shows like SOA.
Further understand boys... the 1% style clubs.
Many require you to sign the title of your bike over to the club. Some even require you to sign over everything.
You don't quit a club. sometimes you can ask to leave but then you're always welcome back.
Your life becomes
1. The club
2. Everything else... ie: job, family, etc
You are asked to join! You go thru a prospect in which you will do what you are asked of, you will not interrupt patched members when they are talking. You are a 2nd class citizen. If they say jump, you reply how high. If a patched member's bike breaks down, you offer yours. You are the bitch.
There are riding rules too, many of them. Hell there are rules for us non-clubers for passing a rolling club.
These are aspects of club life and lots of it has to do with respect.
