Reminded me of some years back when I was biking up Yosemite way with a group of friends. We pulled into a station to gas up, and a minute later a group of HA pulled in to do the same. I glanced up and went back about my business, having no particular affinity for 1%ers, and knowing they certainly had no affinity for us. One of my friends, however, was smitten (6'8 guy with a beard, looks like he just broke outta prison).... He was crushed when he said hi to one of them and they ignored him. "YA THINK?" So I can only imagine the extra attention 1%'ers are getting NOW with SOA on the air... I would bet many people will be stupid enough to think of real club members as "buddies."
bikerdave65429 had a different view "ya know , i gotta say something here , now i see some folks on here that are still trying to perpetuate the old stereo type for bikers and 1% clubs and it's really getting on my nerves , many of us on here (who are in the life or are very knowledgeable about it ) have spent alot of time and energy trying to get the "citizens" on here straight on the fact that just because we ride a bike and wear leather , it don't mean we are Atilla the hun looking to rape and pillage , then a few of ya'll come on here and act like "oh any guy in a 1% club wont speak to you or they are scary and mean " BS i sat down with sonny 2 weeks ago at "a book signing" and he was a great guy , and there was patches from all over the eastern seaboard walking around , i spoke with many of them and said hello to every guy i made eye contact with , not a single one was rude , disrespected me (for not having the same patch on my back ) or anything else , so lighten up on the bikers are bad attitude a little bit ya'll ok ? as for sonny's guest shot on the show , I thought he was great for that part , and his speech was very clear , when we met i had to lean in to really hear him well because he speaks very softly . the man is a legend whether you like it or not and whether you respect it or not , so act like grown ups . just my 2 cents , whether you agree or not ."
