9 dead in Waco

Biker to english translation?

The rocker is the part of the patch on a cut (leather jacket/vest) that states something about the club, be it the name or location. Motorcycle clubs operate by an understood set of rules. You want to start a club or extend a charter to a new city, you check with the other local MC charters for permission and let them know your intentions. It's possible that one club didn't want the other club opening a charter in Texas. The clubs that don't do this are typically your 1% clubs, the clubs that live by a different set of rules.

Aka morons. I have a bunch of MC stories from when I owned the bar. Too much for posting from my phone.

I had just said on another forum, "Maybe the Cossacks were politely asked to remove that bottom rocker off their jackets." I am by no means a biker, but even I know that if your gonna claim Texas you better be a Bandido.

What?

Even Stargate Command showed up.

He sporting a P90?

Ah I see, thank you for the articulate non smartass response.

Are there no physical standards anymore?

[91CoupeMike]

Well at least we have half the military in Texas for training. Perfect time to start shit.. Haha

[Twisted]

What?

Start yourself a MC, on the back bottom of your jacket write Texas. Then go hold a recruiting event in a public place. You may get asked to remove that Texas, but it'll probably just get removed for you.

We were talking about this earlier over some beers. Apparently one of the local bike clubs(not harley/cruiser bikes; more crotch rocket based) had "Abilene, TX" as a rocker on their jackets. They were told by bandidos that they could have "Abilene", but not TX as a rocker.

It's total middle school bullshit.. I'd say it was a bunch of guys living out their SoA fantasies... but it's been going on longer than the show.

Waco is apprarently a franchise store, and Corporate has said they'll pull the licensing if they did in fact refuse to work with police.

"The gunfight started after a mysterious nude patron at the bar asked a biker gang member for his clothes, his boots and his motorcycle."

Exactly. Even the CVMA had to request permission to use our colors in the state of Texas because it shares the same color scheme as one of the 1% groups.
