Definition: A Biker is one who rides a bike or motorcycle. The term Biker
brings up different images to different people. Biker has an edge to it that
speaks to a lifestyle. The term Motorcyclist is used interchangeably at
times but Motorcyclist doesn't seem to have the same edge. A lifestyle
change may not be as pronounced as with the term Biker.
 

The Ten Commandments of Harley Davidson
1. The one true american-made motorcycle is the Harley-davidson,
and thou shalt put no other motorcycles before it.
2. Thou shalt not bow down and worship nor serve the god of chrome;
for, lo, he is a false god and will not get thy butt home.
3. Honor thy authorized dealer and thy hog chapter officers,
that thy days may be long and fruitful in the land of Harley.
4. Remember the weekend, and keep it open. for it is written, five days
shalt thou labor, and for two days shalt thou ride thy Harley, drink beer, and fuck off.
5. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Harley, nor her manservant,
nor her maidservant, nor her ox, nor her cute little ass.
6. From the throne of thine Harley, thou shalt not stoop to wave at sinners
who ride jap-crap, for jap-crap is known to be the handiwork of the devil.
7. Thou shalt not pass by nor turn away from thy brother Harley
rider who is in mechanical distress.
8. Thou shalt not pose. verily, i say unto you, it is easier for a poser to pass his gold visa card
through the eye of a needle than to enter into the true fellowship of Harley-davidson heaven.
9. When riding thy Harley on the road of life, thou shalt not whine nor
snivel, and thou shalt not suffer to ride alongside those who do.
10. Park not thy Harley in the darkness of thine garage, that it may collectdust for want
of being oft ridden, ride thy Harley with thy brethren, and rejoice in the spirit of the road.
 

This is so true it's scary...Since the pledge of allegiance and The Lord's
Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore because the word "God"
is mentioned... a kid in Arizona wrote the attached New School Prayer.

Now I sit me down in school
where praying is against the rule
for this great nation under God
finds mention of him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
it violates the Bill of Rights
and anytime my head I bow
becomes a federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
that's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must mediate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
and pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but First the Bible.
To quote the good book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
and the 'unwed' daddy;  our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
we're taught that such judgements do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth control,
study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
when chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord.  This silent plea I make:
Should I be shot;  My soul please take!
 
 

Bikers TODAY?
By Bingo

Back - when all bikers had honor-
Back when all bikers were MEN-
There was NO such think as a stoolie!
But that was - 'Way back when'!

That was when bikers had HONOR!
That was when bikers had 'CLASS'!
One would sacrifice his ass for a brother!
TODAY?  His brother! - To save his OWN ASS!

But all are not like that - THANK GOD!
You'll have to admit - there's been a few!
I know that you can trust ME bro --
But then - I don't know about YOU!

Of course I say that just in jest!
You KNOW I trust YOU bro!
But - if I don't tell you EVERYTHING --
Just MAYBE - it's shit you shouldn't know!

NOW - put that 'shoe on the OTHER foot' --
You KNOW you can trust me - BUT -
If it's something I don't NEED to know --
Then Keep your damned mouth SHUT!

And - The cops tell you that shit -
That if you talk you'll get less time -
Just remember that old saying:
If you can't do time, don't do the crime!

Let's see if I understand how the world works lately...
If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work, he blames the restaurant.
If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your
family blames the tobacco company.
If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.
If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.
If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun
manufacturer.And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to
kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the
mother of the deceased blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore. So, if
I die while my old, wrinkled butt is parked in front of this computer, I
want you to blame Bill Gates...okay?
