Title: "booze fighter" question
Post by: abby normal on July 08, 2008, 07:00:46 AM
so, the guy i ride with has a sport bike (CBR 900) and an HD.  he's a nice guy and we get along well.  here's
the question:  he's 'pledging' ... or whatever the correct term is ... to the 'booze fighters' club.  am i going to
be on a ride with this guy when he decides to kill me for his gang-required murder?  or are the booze fighters
different from those 'other' 1%-er organizations.  i don't want to be a prick but its kinda wierding me out.

I don't think you have anything to worry about

if he tries to kill you

kill him first

then you can join the boozefighters

Although the boozefighters have been around a LONG time- I dont believe theyre a 1%er organization.

I read a great book about the "original" boozefighters.  The real club had a membership limit of 20, never more than 20.  Suffices to say, it's not like it used to be.  I'm not sure they are even 1%ers anymore.  I'll dig out the book and post the title and author.  It was a great read.

From a quick search, they seem benign.

Is that the book that you're thinking of, right side of that last page, raulduke?

The Original Wild Ones: Tales of the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club

perfect ... that's what i was looking for. 

or i could start my own 0.5%-er organization.

for some reason, the image of harpo marx trying to intimidate the thugs in 'horse feathers' is coming to mind.

Interesting, I wasn't aware that the Boozefighters still existed. Not all patchholding-type clubs are total badass 1% organizations - those are actually somewhat rare.

And, for the record, the term is "prospecting".  ;)

The boozefighters are still going strong here in Japan.

They are just another riding group tho not the drug dealin gangbustin group they were once upon a time.

A fairly decent explanation of the 1% thing here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_club
