The report states;

“It’s nothing more than collecting and utilizing data. We may not like to admit it, but the truth of the matter is that those that own and operate motorcycles are 67% more likely to be involved in illegal or criminal activity than those that do not own or operate a motorcycle.”

Maybe they should compile a list of our political leaders also. Seems many of them are involved in illegal or criminal activities.

Of course that's true if illegal activity includes riding in formation at very low speeds, blocking traffic, and also includes drinking and riding.  Not to mention exceeding noise regulations on a regular basis.


For some of US it might also include exceeding speed limits from time to time.   ;)




So, I guess I need a "gang" name.......I'm afraid to ask for suggestions.   LOL

LOL!
 
 Sorry, Jim. You got duped by a fake news site! THIS IS NOT A LEGITIMATE NEWS STORY.
 
 washingtonpost.com.co is NOT the same as
 washingtonpost.com
 
 If you follow the link you posted, there is no Washington Post logo at the top of the page or any site ID, unlike any real Washington Post web page. (I'm a subscriber.)
 
 washingtonpost.com.co has a lot more in common with The Onion than the real washingtonpost.com.

Especially when I forward the story!   :-[

I guess this means the "White Zin Gang" will need to go back into hiding.
Sorry Tosh!

I have seen some references to a group known as the "Sons of Arthritis".....are they a gang?  If so, I'm thinking it's one that many of us would find welcoming.

Personally, I found the concept of thousands of similar minded riders, all wearing their vests adorned with their colors, customizing their bikes to the hilt, and always having their female counterparts along with them, to be an amusing part of the

GWRRA!

Now THERE'S a group worthy of the "gang" moniker.


I'll accept whatever derision is appropriate, but I was a member of the GWRRA until this past year. It's the only club I've ever dropped my membership due to a strong feeling about a lack of value and a disagreement with the club philosophies. If you're interested in my thoughts, send me a PM...no reason to air my complaints to everyone.

Whew, Thanks Pat for reminding me! Then I too am still in a gang... Sons of Arthritis, Veteran Chapter!
With the lack of memory thing it might just be Sons of Alzheimers!
