For sure don't want to infringe on anything those 1%'ers call their territory.
They kill people for that. (seriously)

A group of these claim a town in the mountains near where I go on holiday sometimes.
I had no idea until I once happened to stop at a restaurant there.
Got to the door and they asked any patches on your jacket?
I had one small patch from a group I rode with at the time (with no rocker patch) and they asked me to take it off and leave it outside on the bike as they didn't want anyone murdered inside their establishment.
Needless to say I avoid that area now even with no patches on my jacket!
So 1%ers is out.

And now there's a group calling themselves the III%ers.
These are the preparing for doomsday paramilitary type gun nutters.
Haven't happened upon any of these yet but there are some nearby so probably best to steer clear of them as well.

Oddly enough I was invited by a mate via Facebook to a breakfast and rideout just this past Saturday but when I checked out the guy in charge, he was wearing a III%ers shirt and hat in his profile pic.
Er... sorry, maybe next time.

So much for 3 %.
How about 2% or perhaps even 2.25% just to be on the safe side.

Yes, we have our own branches of that club over here, and the same rules apply over here.

One of my former colleagues next door neighbour was shot by them. They got the wrong house, and should have knocked on my friends door.

Because of this and other traumatic incidents in his life, my mate had severe depression and other mental health issues.

He's no longer with us, and at peace.

A bacon sandwich and a mug of coffee sat on the back step watching the dog foraging around the garden - a great start to the day.

most patch wearers are actually very nice respectable people its the 1% of the 1%rs that are complete feking arz wipes but when your a brother your a brother and you will do what is required to protect your brother. you also have to remember that a loot of people who join chapters are misfits/loners etc.etc in society and when enticed to join a group of people and become part of the family they do so with open arms as it then give them purpose in life.

that sounds like a cracking start to the day Bri.

I've just had my invite through to a West End premiere in July of a film I have backed about the Maasai Warriors cricket team. As well as helping in a small way to fund it, I also managed to get them into Lord's to film part of it which they loved. Now I finally get to see the finished product which in the week of the Australia Test match at work will be some welcome relief from a crazy time.
