What is your opinion on Motorcycle Clubs?

[Weisse Schlange]

Yup, you pay subs.
Clubhouses aren't usually free and officers get travel expenses for foreign meetings etc.

I was in 2 different backpatch clubs over the years. One was a lot more hardcore for want of a better word than the other. I enjoyed my time with both of them. Good camaraderie and you knew if you had any sort of problem you had friends that would help you irrespective.

I was young then though, early twenties through to late thirties and no, I didn't ride a Harley or wear assless chaps.

Its a different kind of life.
I've surfed on the edges of it, not totally my kind of thing TBH

Bit of a struggle to have a "normal" life, once you exorcise extricate yourself.
But middle-class and boring is *fine* by me, thank you very much.
I don't fit in there, either.

Having dipped one's toe in that water, so to speak, I do find it's easier to approach burly types without having fear of how it will all turn out (doormen, basketball players, street scumbags etc) and be able to look them eye to eye without as much fear as a normal person.

OK a normal *woman*

Plus, its given me confidence to just be me, just Jennifer - their attitude of "what the fuck do I care what you think of me?" has given me some "attitude" I never used to have, and its done me some good being around those types.

But it's not really for me.
I tend to let them all get on with their whateverrrrrr ... but I do like to bump into them from time to time. I doubt most of them would know/care who I am. Moi aussi, dudes.

mebbe I wear their old support t-shirts as bedwear in the winter to keep warm, ya know wot I mean

I get kind of sad when I see RIP messages about this old piss-head or that who I might have known in the past. So I've seen out another one, oh well. Rude not to acknowledge their passing, or whatevs.

Daft old lot of dinosaurs, they are
Even the young'uns

The first rule of Bike club is, you do not talk about Bike club.

Lots of things look better at a distance than up close. Squinting and rose-tinted specs may also help improve the view. Like America. The less you know or see about America, the more you appreciate America.
