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?

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". ;)
What`s a 1% club ? I belong to a patch wearing club and didn`t need to kill anyone for it ;D
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
