Across the Generations.

The traffic Cop. Traditionally,since the 1940's,bikers carried a "traffic cop". The hammer was kept in a handy,accessible spot on the bike in case of  'emergencies'.  If the rider was put in a dangerous position by another road user,left with no other option,he would use the "traffic cop" as a warning,usually resulting in a lost mirror for the offending motorist.

1 % Bike clubs worldwide,are constantly harassed and often banned from 'flying their patch'. This prejudice on what clothes a person wears,is an archaic infringement on their human rights. If you genuinely support any  club, then it is your duty to do whatever you can,to help protect the culture that has been nurtured for nearly 80yrs. Always try to make sure that your family,friends and workmates boycott any establishment or system that are prejudiced against bikers/clubs. Genuine support is important and it works both ways,good clubs appreciate your support.

Ol' Ladies.
If you can't trust who lies beside you as you sleep,then who can you trust? Often his Ol' Lady is the foundation,that a solid biker is built on. If the biker T.C.B. on the street,then he needs to know that he can trust someone to take care of business at home. Alot of people would say that is a sexist thing to say,some would concede that it's old fashioned,personally I would just say it's fact. An honourable guy will respect and fully appreciate his woman at all times,in the knowledge that she is 100% confident,together they can take on the world.
