NO COLORS

  • July 14, 2010 12:19 AM PDT
    Hawg Lakes motorcycle rally in Oklahoma coming up ,will not allow you to wear your club colors on their property. Thier ad says NO Colors. IE:  Abate,Hog, Banditio, Downed Biker, Baca....etc.  So we the motorcycling community need not to go. They are stamping on our rights for freedom of speech . Next they won`t allow adult beverages, nudity, or motorcycles.  PASS IT ON!!!!

    Most of the bars around here have signs that say that, but when you ask how specific they are, they tell you that you need to either remove or reverse clothing that supports 1%, triple patch groups. Some even specifiy that on their signs in Deadwood. Which is fine with me, I only support those 3 colors that don't run.

    the 1% I can understand...but Abate, HOG and the like are just BS

    The Biker community just needs to do like they did 2 years a go to Myrtle Beach - boycot and let the wallets of the retailers assist

    Thats BS!! ABATES, HOG, BACA are organizations not MCs. In Ohio and most states ABATE does not have full back patches because we are not a MC rather an organization. I have a small ABATES patch on the back top of my vest. Guess I am wearing colors?!?!? WTF???????????????

    I have seen this before (although never actually seen it enforced) and I think it is mainly to give the promoter the easy legal route to refuse admission to someone they deem undesirable.

    I'm with Rex. Kind of like the sign at the "Beach Bar" No shoes, no shirt, no service. Hell the place would be empty. I do ride with a motorcycle club but do no display their colors I too have two vests, one represents my Marine Corps service and the other my law enforcement career. If they won't serve me with either of those I will gladly take my business elsewhere.

    It sounds to me like they don't want any one there at all why waist gas and my money to show up at a place that wont let me have a drink. 
    That is like going to the bank for money and them saying sorry were out of it go somewhere else ( because they dont like the way you look).
    Sounds like shoddy (spelling is not right) Business practice to me.
