re: When did "no passing Harley riders wearing colors" become a thing?

Smart of him to let it go as I am not the type to be intimidated by that kind of bs.

That’s not what I heard.
From a bunch of different people too.

You heard me describe them. But I never owned either a back-off whip or a Gold Wing.

Ok, I was ribbing about the Gold Wing but I'm almost 98.6% sure you've posted about your braided whip with, perhaps, even steel nuts on the end of it. You're the reason I now know they exist

I’d love to see a biker try to start shite with me. Hard to look tough when you’re staring at the business end of my Model Y.

Then tell your biker friends to get out of the way.

I drove from Mandeville to Katy, Texas yesterday. I bet I saw 40 or so Bandido's. Most all were from Texas according to their vests.

I wasn't passing anyone. I'm driving an old bus.

There are like 24 different categories of motorcycles out there, and within that, probably something on the order of 35 well known brands in the states, and many more times that internationally, but around here, there only seem to be two types of motorcycles people are allowed to own, Cruiser, or Crotch Rocket, and of those, it’s almost always Harley or Japanese Crotch Rocket, and they drive all negative cultural perceptions. It’s weird.

Of course there are plenty of other people who ride the other brands, styles, and bikes out there, but they don’t get the attention, and thank God for that. Then there are those who do ride the uber redundant bikes but are nice people, it’s just that the douchey seem to gravitate hard to the two segments that drive all negative perceptions.

If I ever ride again, it'll be a BMW.

Gold Wings are for old people, and Harley is of uneven quality, like always.

I know they’re supposed to be bad dudes but they could have become a speed bump they cut so close in front of me.

I watched a documentary about them, which I watched years ago so I might be getting them confused, but I thought things went sideways with leadership in the gang and then it pretty much became a bunch of felons and meth addicts that suddenly didn't have a leader. Of course things could have changed since then, but I got the impression that today they are just a shell of what they used to be.

What do they do, just run drugs and stuff?

Twenty years ago there was a big circuit of travelling strippers that were affiliated with the Bandidos. I think they were probably moving meth but I'm not sure of the details. The bars in Mound, LA and Woodville, MS were both full of those travelling girls.
