Right. They're all motorcycle clubs, however not all clubs are equal.

Darth has taught us that term has a very hard and fast definition and that you apparently need to be wary of misusing it.

Yeah, I figured the myth needs to be perpetuated.

Quite a few. Those bikes and accessories are expensive.

I know like 4 adults that own bikes and they are all blue collar workers(absolutely nothing wrong with that) and they aren't even "bikers", they just have bikes and ride for fun sometimes There is no way "most" of these tatted up, cig smoking, jean jacket wearing dudes are white collar


Tons of bikers are white collar workers. You are watching a vid about 1% clubs, of course you are going to see the opposite end of the spectrum. Go look at the price tags for new Harleys and how much their t-shirts cost in dealerships. It's a very different market.

Between HD, BMW, Ducati and some other high end dealers. You have a lot of very successful people that ride motorcycles.

again. you're completely missing the point

white collar/blue collar is about class, not about income. Plenty of blue collar people have nice things. It doesn't mean anything and it doesn't mean that some biker who has an expensive bike is suddenly classy

You're also missing the point I made earlier that owning something expensive =/= that person makes good money

While true, you'll see a big difference between 1%ers gear and the weekend warrior. Both are bikers, both are probably members of a club and may dress similar, but the bikes will usually be much different.

To be fair, that video doesn't show much of anything.

Yes, there's one moron who runs into view, seemingly away from the direction where the main disturbance is, but blindly shoots one round off in a side direction... maybe something was happening in that direction, too???

And there's the heavy guy "going all tactical", but at least he seems to have enough composure to not blindly shoot into a crowd.

Aside from that, I see people running & hiding-- that's it. Nothing that's overly criminal, though I don't know to what extent the weapons they had were being legally carried.

I think everyone grew up with one or more jerkoffs who would look for reasons to show you their knife or gun, or would claim some stupid shite like they could've broken your neck or similar when they were spouting off some nonsense and someone wrestled them down to shut them up. From this video, it's hard for me to tell to if these bikers were up to anything illegal and carrying weapons in support of that, or if it's largely a group of now grown-up jerkoffs carrying in order to look tough.

Would need to see the video of the initial altercation in the parking lot and how that played out to have a better idea of why this escalated the way it did.

I'd like to see the videos of all the cameras in the area. Only way to know what happened.

I am not missing the point. You discussing bikers with me is kinda like me trying to discuss pilots with you. I've been on the side of representing companies to a vast population of motorcyclists. I have been on the consumer side of the business since I was tiny. Attended the large and small rallies, trade shows, and other events on both sides. I'm not speaking out of my arse because I know 4 bikers and they are all blue collar.

There is a very significant percentage of successful motorcyclists out there. In some cases it's a super majority of the population. Like BMW riders, a majority of those frickers are old rich white guys. The BMWMOA rallies are a very good time and no one gets shot. Just maybe an argument about which engine is the best in the german beer garden tent.

Harley is way up there percentage wise with white collar weekend warriors as well.

This is obviously some video the police made using actors.



Show me a link where I ever said that. I've said from the beginning there were some there at Twin Peaks who did take part in a shootout and they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It's the over 100+ other people who took no part in any of it that were arrested and had their lives ruined that has been my problem with this from the get go.
