Trikes in a MC club?

It always amazes me! Some guy that rides his two wheeler 3000 miles a year and I ride my Trike 15,000 miles a year thinks he is a rider!

It always amazes me that I wear soft shoes and shorts to ride and he dresses up like a pirate and he thinks he's styling!

It always amzes me that I ride down the highway and I wave at every kind of motorcycle out there and some two-wheelers look the other way! They probably are on America's Most Wanted list.

It always amazes me that people are so small that they can't be friends and just say HI!



:yes::yes: I hear ya.
 
I have never experenced what you are writting about. Never had any problems with any club, including most 1% clubs. Most other bikers wave and those that don't I just figure are afraid to remove their hand from the handle bars or are just stuck up.
I will admit there are those in a certain Gold Wing Association that look down on a three-wheeler and make comments about them.
 
The American Legion Riders have respect for anyone on a bike, you are a member if you were active service , Your an aux if you are related to a service man . All the way to gramps in the 1st World War. You are a supporter if you were married to a deceased or divorced from a service person. All have the same respect down to the guy riding a 350 cc motorcycle
 
I forgot to mention the clubs that I do belong! I was so excited to be able to trash people that are not trike friendly Excuse me for going off the deep end! It just makes me mad when I really do believe that we all ride motorcycles but if you don't have one like everyone elses you are sub-standard. Now that my rant is over!!!

I belong to GWRRA. I go to a breakfast evry month with about 30 other GW riders. I get offers to go on rides with them twice a week! Great organization! We go to dinner once a month with group. No monthly fees!

I belong to TRI but I have never gone and met with them. Only because they are on the other side of the state. Seem like good people! Nice Rally coming up!

I also ride with another un-organized group. We call ourselves the Geritol/Viagra gang! Only 4 of us but we have a lot of fun!
 
You didn't mention TrikeTalk people, Boscoporp! We like you, no matter what kind of trike you ride. And we like your trike too...and that cute little trailer ;)... and your Margaritas (but that's another story...).

"BINGO" Stan....in my 40+ years of ridin' 25,000 to 40,000+ miles per year, I never have been able to figure out all the segregation....Sport Bikes, Choppers, Cruisers, Trikes, Sport Tourers, Tourers, etc., we all share common ground, and one Group is "NOT" superior to the Others, except in Their own minds in some cases.....;):wtg:
 
Blue Knight do accept trikes and riders, no problems here...there was 10 Tri Glides at this years International Convention in Billings Montana...nice showing for the TG's...several other trikes there too. I guess around 15 trike total, mostly Harley or Gold Wings...
 
I think most people are missing the point, probably not on here though, that riding a m/c whether 2 or 3 wheels is still riding. The mfgr is immaterial, the clothing is immaterial and the wearing of a helmet or not is immaterial. It's all biking and it's all fun. That's why I ride, I have other transportation but I love to ride. My trike enables me to continue riding into the foreseeable future. A biker is a biker is a biker and if they don"t wave or are not friendly they would be that way no matter what the circumstance. Be proud you ride and forget the jerks.
 
We belong to GWRRA and no one cares we ride a trike. Though that might change when I sell my GW trike. Due to medical issues, I cant ride the "seat" a motorcycle has. Even after putting a 1100.00 Day-Long seat on. So, we are opting for a new VW trike instead. Seating is A LOT different on those trikes.

Personally I can't conceive of anyone criticizing that move, Duane! If they are real friends, they'll just be glad you found a great way to stay out there riding with them!!!!!
 
The only teasing we three wheelers get is that we ride Honda's. That's from a guy on a Harley. He mentioned in a post about "Good Harley Riders" I wrote back and said that is the worlds worst Oxymoron. He even said that was a good answer.

We are all friends. There are 5 or 6 trikes in our SCRC chapter and two or three in our Patriot Guard group.

My son-in-law and I belong to ALR. All bikes, all makes, all sizes.
 
I'm a member of the "Canadian X Riders" Group, affiliated with VTX Owners Associaton in the U.S.A. Our creed is "It's not what you ride, it's that you ride". So far most of the responses I've heard from my group has been positive... you might wanna try there.;) Chumbly-:cool:

Howdy !
 
you guys either live in areas with an extraordinary amount of douchebags or are a little sensitive about the trike thing. who gives a $hit what anybody thinks? I have never EVER received criticism nor been looked down upon for riding my ride. I am a patched member of an MC and have never felt ostracized nor made to feel like any less of a patch holder or rider because of my trike, either by my brothers, other MCs nor the riding public as a whole.

Most of the time I ride tail on my group rides, but that is more of a safety issue for the group as a whole.

grimm
 
I ride a rewaco and belong to GWRRA ( OR-I ) as an associate (not a wing lol)
and also ride with portland, oregons oldest m/c group which only has 2 trike members and mine makes 3, and have never been put down for a trike, most of the 2 wheelers I ride with just hammer the twisties and I just can't quite keep up but I always catch them in the straight aways, but who cares, its that we all ride something and have fun doing it. Thats what counts
 
I am a member full patch North Shore Riders MC. I and one other member ride trikes. When I first joined as an Prospect and then an associate member I stayed at the back as tailgunner. After being patched I began riding in what ever position I fell into as th ride began, usually about 20-30 members every Wednesday evening. And we have long rides on weekends. Well I was getting the hand wave by the two wheelers to back off so they could get in front and at times at a red light some two wheelers rode up beside me and asked me to move over so that they could get in front of me. This went on for a short while. At the next full meeting I told the club that aside from the President, road guards, ride captains no one is to make me move out of the way. I rode more miles in the 60's than they have ridden in their lives. If they have any objections speak now or speak after the meeting. End of story. Hold your mud and ride your ride. If you cannot ride with the bikers then you are not yet a biker, 2 or 3 wheels.

Amen
 
I'm a member of BK KY II and life member of HOG. If anyone objected to my trike I would tell them to take a leap ( cleaning it up)..I ride what I want, brand, style etc...unless they want to buy it for me, them I may ride what they want, but I don't kiss anyone's ass....not with motorcycles, cars or anything else.
 
Do any of you folks belong to MC clubs? We have a couple in town, and they say all are welcome. But I've got to say, when I'm out and about I'm not feeling like part of the brotherhood of bikers. At lights or other places, the two wheelers will do whatever it takes to ignore my trike. Even at the one patriot guard mission I went on, the two wheelers were only cooly polite. They sure didn't want to acknowledge the trike.

That's okay, I'm a big boy. But I don't want to pay dues to a club, only to be the unwanted red haired stepchild, if you know what I mean.

I’m the founder of Bikers Making A Difference Leflore County Ok., and We Welcome All Riders two wheels as well as a Trike of any kind. B.M.A.D. LEFLORE COUNTY OKLAHOMA

:p Most MC’s are American Iron Only .:rolleyes:
 
Around here most 2 wheelers don't want to acknowledge that trikers even exist. I got my Valk a few weeks ago, and 2 wheelers love me now. It's still me, just 2 wheels instead of 3. How ridiculous...... Yesterday a small group of HD riders crossed in front of me while I was stopped at a light. A few of them waved, just like giddy little children (no exaggeration.) Guess the Valk is magical.

I've forgotten about MC clubs. Around here they seem to want to just go and get ice cream/pie/junk food, or get drunk. Gotta watch my weight, and I don't drink and drive ever, period.
