Ignorant bullying of certain back patch clubs.

    Not mentioning names, A mate of mine was stopped by an Irish MC club member and told to remove a patch from his back. The patch this guy was wearing was from an international motorcycle association based in South Africa and had absolutly nothing got to do with the 1% fraternity. The patch itself did not resemble anything like a back patch ie contained no "colours" ie upper and lower "rockers" or any "death head". The Club in question claimed "Dublin belonged to them" Biking should be about enjoying ourselves and not about dictating what one should wear or not wear.

    It happens all over the county. A mate of mine was asked to remove patches from his back too. I find it helps if you think of the backpatch clubs with their long beards, and escalating BO all riding the back legs off each other.

    don't have to name your friend, but why not the offending.............offenders ? :o

    That sort of behaviour has no place here.....

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Stopped as in riding-along-stopped, or going-into-that-clubs-rally-stopped?

    If it's the latter then they're entitled to let in or refuse anyone they like.
    Maybe it looked a bit like another 1%ers patch? A lot of rallies are 'back patch only by prior arrangement' even if not organised by 1%ers.

    I've been to the DDs rally a few times and never saw a hint of trouble. You're much more likely to get hassle at '99%' rallies (invariably pi**ed-up local non-biker 17 year olds punching their mates :rolleyes: )

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    No this was not a rally, it was in Dublin city and it was the Deciples. This guy was stopped by one of their members and told to remove his patch that "Dublin was for them", he was a member of the CMA, (Christian Motorcycle Association) an international club that poses no threat to their fraternity. http://www.cmainternational.org/

    These guys had a stall in the RDS Motorcycle show last march and would be affiliated with similar clubs across the Country. They were also seen at the recent Harp and V Twins rally. They would normally have their own stall serving soup or cleaning bikes and would have Christian literature.

    Several years ago some members of the Banner MCC foolishly decided to have their own back patch, two members were approached at knife point outside the Lifford bar in Ennis and told to remove them.

    The Outlaws don't have a problem with guys wearing patches from other clubs and associations that don't resemble "1% colours".

    As if the CMA would pose a threat to them.

    I can understand them getting worried over the recent flood of international patch clubs setting up here. (thats why they formed the Alliance), it wasnt long ago when they are all squabbling among each other.

    I have been a biker for over 20 years and the nastiest thing that ever happened to me on the bike was being rear ended by a Devils Deciple for "Cutting him up". I actually overtook him on a 2 lane street, him in the left lane and me in the right hand lane. That was the day I realised that biking will never be a true brotherhood. Its like Animal Farm: "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others"

    ...and some animals insists on driving Harleys and pretending to be in a Mad Max sequel when they should stay at home in their caravans with their mammys instead. I've been to a few knuckle-dragger rallys and drank soup with these inbreeds as an experiment to see how I fitted into the rally scene - never again.

    Oh FFS...

    Does that suggest for example that when I drive my Harley im more likely to be a gurrier and revert to a decent biker when I go back on my Beemer or Bandit, most Harley drivers I know are a decent laid back lot
    Im not really into the rally scene myself by the way

    Oh God no, you've reversed my logic and taken me up wrong. Most Harley owners I know bring their bikes to rallies in horseboxes behind their Ssangyong Rextons so I understand that many Harley drivers are mild-mannered normal people and not likely to be involved in patch clubs.

    I was referring to the inbred monkeys who seem to think that their backwater village in Co. Carlow is actually somewhere in Alabama and that Harleys are anything other than two-wheeled tractors...
