    All the members of xjbikes.com form a gang. Just copy some of the best posts from the website and turn that in. Start with any YICS tool or pod re-jetting threads, they get pretty heated and violent in an "internet" type of way................

    And then we'll stuff your feet into heavily varnished, gummed-up carb bowls and throw you over the edge of a pier into a frigid pit full of Harleys...............

    a good topic whould be to write about how the feds will infiltrate a motorcycle gang and the gang will not even know they are a cop.

    I hung out at the biker bars for the better part of 15 years.
    I know alot of things that will never be told but, here's one you can use for your report.

    There were these gravel pits that had been dug to deep and filled with water.
    People would swim there during the day, at night it was the bikes and roughnecks only.
    My friend an I are drinking with The Tribeshill MC.
    Someone wanted to leave and my freind had to move his car.
    Well he backs up and drops the rear wheel over the edge of the pit.
    The car slide over the side, barrel rolling about 50ft into 15 ft of water.
    The Tribe sprung into action, before that car hit the water there where guys running down the embankment.
    Three of them jumped in, dove down to the car and pulled my friend out.
    He surely would have been drowned if not for these "gang" members.
    :D

    It's true, there is a thread about the guy who stuffed a shop rag in to the YICS port to clean it out and practically had to use a power drill to get that stupid stupid shop rag out again :evil: , I thought it would have been a great time to sync the carbs with them already isolated. 8O

    Schooter you should have expected this response - You have been here long enough :lol:

    You can interview my gang "Hells Geezers" :twisted:

    Seriously though I had passing acquaintance with several 1%ers - you don't tell the stories you hear.

    I worked at my dad's gas station when I was 15 years old, I got to meet clubs that were part of The Gypsy Jokers and Brother Speed. All were great guys.

    We gave the chapter Presidents keys to the old cafe next door so the guys could have a place to overnight if they wanted and they knew they had free run of our shop if needed.

    They always tipped me $50 even though I only handed them the gas nozzle and took it back when they were done. I even got to ride an old '49 Pan head around the block one time, never got out of 1st hehe.

    If my dad was working on a rig in the shop and they were there, it seemed one of them always ended up under the rig with them handing him wrenches and bs'ing with him.

    One day the Brother Speed Chapter President put a Brother Speed sticker on the door to the office, he said that let any other Brother Chapter that we were an OK business and not to "mess" with us.

    A week later the Gypsy Jokers were through and noticed the sticker. They didnt say anything but the next day their chapter President showed up and put a GJ sticker on the door next to it.

    I still have those stickers...somewhere.

    Now I probably never met any 1%ers, but every guy I met was what I to this day consider a modern day version of the Old West cowboy.

    In many ways they are more accepting and likely to help another in trouble than any other member of today's mainstream society.

    Its sad 1% are responsible for 99% of society's perception of them.

    *deep breath* Sorry for the novel Schooter

    Google for "brotherhood of grey beard bikers". It's a website by biker gangs explaining in gory detail, biker club protocol, prospecting, "colors", proper use of the word "bro", and the difference between riding clubs and motorcycle clubs, the AMA, 1%'ers, and a slew of other biker stuff you had no idea about.

    I have no desire to join a traditional biker club myself, but the study was absolutely fascinating. I suppose that I will remain a slickback for life.

    Last week I ran out of fuel.
    On my way back to the bike, with helmet in one hand, gas in the other, a mini van pulls up.
    It was your friendly nieghborhood Angel stopping to give a fellow biker a hand.
    We chatted about the old days and people we both knew.
    Three blocks later he hung around to make sure I got started.
    Excellent guy.
    So, what Deadulus said/\

    "Beyond the Law" with Charlie Sheen is a good flick, too. Check it out.

    Might be "Above the Law", not too sure right now.

    Check out Hunter S. Thompson's books from the mid-late 60's. He spent time with the Hell's Angels. They may not paint the most flattering picture of biker gangs, but they are probably the most prolific works on the subject (if I were your teacher I might expect you to reference them). You could even go with the thesis that biker gangs today, by and large, are nothing like the Hell's Angels in Thompson's works.
