All the seasons are on netflix, only cost $6 a month!
I'll preface this with I hope I don't offend anyone on here with this post. But I have a feeling someone's going to get bent at me about expressing my opinions.
You need to be careful of the whole MC and vest wearing. I do have some friends who are members/founders etc... of various clubs. Many have bad raps. Most are just riders who want to hang out and ride together. However, just like anything else, there are a few out there who are the ones who cause the stereotypes. There's a few "Biker Clubs" around Southern California that you don't want to screw with. I think most of the sportbike MC's are pretty much harmless, but again, I've seen some groups around at bike nights etc... that I wouldn't mess with either. Usually the one's I've come across, they're just a bunch of squids who are trying to be bad ass, but not always. Like I said, I have some friends who are in them, one is the president and founder of one, they know I think the whole "Patching Up" thing is stupid. But then again, they're not the ones out there riding in their leather vest and nothing else and a pair of jeans with their chick on the back in her booty shorts.
I grew up down the street from a Hell's Angels club house that was being used for meth manufacturing. It blew up one day and everyone's suspicions were confirmed. So yes, there's still a lot of illegal activity that gets associated with all the clubs simply because they wear a vest and a patch. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead with a leather vest and an MC patch on it. Just not my thing. Putting a sticker advertising for a discussion forum would be about as close as I'll get.
As for the show, I've never seen it. Was going to get it on Netflix though so thanks for reminding me to go put it in my list.

Thanks for your input jon Personally I wasnt really going for the vest and patch thing other than from the show. I was just wondering about like sport bike clubs. I know there are some bad ones out there, one of the guys I used to worth with was the president of a chapter for hells angels in Wyoming, and heard ALOT of stories from him. I see so many groups of riders in the area biking together and to be honest I feel a little left out not knowing anyone with sport bikes to go ride with really....I only have one friend Ive ridden with. Its kinda lame IMO lol....although I do get to go on the carver fun run on may 7th!!!

I do understand where you're coming from Jon. I don't understand the whole patched up vest and all that. We have some patches made for the group that say MoM on them in a heart like the tattoo but I havent decided if I wanna rock it on anything or not. Back home there is alot of illegal activity from chicago and all that and probably still highly organized crime that most people don't see or know about seeing how Al Capone had a home in Qtown, may have kept going or not, who knows.. just alot of methheads blowing themselves up.. As far as I can tell though, we have no motorcycle "gangs" in the sense of what the sons are or the angels, although I do see patched up guys riding around sometimes, some are cool and still wave to sportbikes which is a surprise, others don't wave to anyone no matter what.
Most of the people who I've met and ride with a lot now I met on meetup.com. In most cities, you're going to find there's going to be some sort of sportbike group. Usually they're just riders who want to ride together. Some of the patched up MC's have groups on there too and they use it to organize things. Like I said, a lot of them do great things like fund raisers, family/club BBQ's, etc... But some use those as a way to polish their reputation. Hell's Angels hold one of the biggest Toys 4 Tott's events I've ever heard about. Meanwhile, they're dealing and manufacturing the drugs that ruined a lot of those kids lives.Thanks for your input jon
Yes. Google "the wave" or even search on here. It's been discussed a lot. Being a motorcycle rider, you're part of a brotherhood (even the chicks lol) I respect all aspect of motorcycling and acknowledge any other rider who shares the same passion I do. That's really all that's about.
+1 for the meetup.com

Anyone ever heard of the Ruff Riders?
they are a MC club for sport bikes, a couple of years ago they tied up the 91fwy through Riverside performing stupid stunts. They literally had enough bikes to shut the freeway down.
