Wild Male or Wild Female?

Whichever you are welcome here. Please tell us just a little about yourself and what makes you Wild or a Rebel.

 [ send green star]

LOL!   I don't think I'm going to post my 'secrets'...ha! 

Well, I don't have a per'se bike <except a bicycle>, but I do so love to "RIDE" on my friends Harley! 

As for a "Rebel"...well, I've always been that as well! 

I have a friend 'Willow' who just bought a Harley, I'll ask her to come here tomorrow! 

~ Thanks for the invite, Wild! 

 [ send green star]

I'm seventy years young.  Still straddle a 1985 Harley(Screaming Eagle powered) I built, a 1995 Triumph Thunderbird and a 1972 BSA custom painted Lightening!  I drive a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere, 2dr H.T. and a '58 Corvette with a 350 c.i., four bolt mains and rock crusher tranny.

   Once free'd I never succumed to being 'straight' (as in like a common man/not as a homosexual) and worked many jobs, lived in many parts of the country and traveled a lot, sometime with a sleeping bag strapped on the back of the 'vette, ala; "Route 66".  About the only thing I've never done and wish I could have was to land on an aircraft carrier and fish for king crab in the Aleutians.

Never did hard drugs but sex behind a joint needs no defending or explaining. 

I think I qualify as a little wild!

How did I end up here - who is Wild One?

Hello everyone.... are we playing nice in this group?

 [ send green star]

For the invite.

What makes me wild?

Gosh that is like asking me to kiss and tell.

Driving fast, blindfolded...

Loving hard, laughing loud, enjoying life. 

Claw marks down his back that he never regrets.

Not knowing where to start as well as not being sure when to stop?

AM I close to the correct response?

I love this group. Great Idea!

Am I wild? Oh Yeah! Especially when engaged in righting a wrong or standing up for others and our Planet, which is in trouble by the way.

 [ send green star]

to all new members. If you`re not wild you will be before you leave this group. Or wishing you were.

 [ send green star]

Thanks for the invite, I haven't ridden since I was a teenager, but tempted to start again

Hows it shakin? Even if you don`t ride now its great to talk about the old days too. Glad you joined us.

So what did you ride?

 [ send green star]

I found a picture of the 1950 Thunderbird Triumph.

Welcome to the group. Youre right, Shakespeare was a pretty wild guy. I`ll bet if you did some special research you`d find he was one of the wildest cats of his time. A teach who can turn students on to that gets brownie points from this Wild Cat!

Sence My Bike went missing lol.. I had to get a lift in on a horse.

 THANKS PARNTA!!

 [ send green star]

Thanks!  And not to toot my own horn (so to speak), but I do have a story to tell that makes me smile from ear to ear (sorry, I'm a hopeless dork so be forewarned that my stories are kind of dorky sometimes too...)  I was teaching a survey lit. course at a local career college and I had a student in my class who professed that she hadn't read Hamlet when she was assigned to in h.s. and she wasn't going to in my class either (not a smart thing to tell one's teacher).  Well, after we started getting into the text and having some pretty entertaining class discussions, she went out and got a collection of Shakespeare's works and told me that had never had any idea that it was such cool stuff.  She told me that she planned to start reading more Shakespeare after class was over and that she was so grateful that I had been able to show how neat it was!  Oh yeah, then there was the time I smuggled a real sword into the school so my class could act out the big death match in Act V of Hamlet (I only got to teach that one play, unfortunately).  The dean saw it and gave me a pretty bad look...  I, of course, was quite entertained by the whole thing.    There's wild for ya! 

 [ send green star]

You are wise my friend.

 [ send green star]

Well thanks for taking such good care of them.

I do so enjoy the ride on a good road on my bike.

 [ send green star]

I've only ridden on the back of a back of a bike maybe a dozen times and never all that far...  I did enjoy it though!  Oh yes, and if it's worth anything, I'm currently reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair (just getting it started, actualy).  I've heard it's an excellent book and I know at least thus far, it has given me an amazing feeling of what it may be like to ride through the country on one...  Wow, that is pretty sad and nerdy- I have as much knowledge of riding from reading a book as I do actualy being on a bike.        

I do have a question though about riding...  when I was on the back, I could barely keep my eyes open even with a helmet visor down...  many riders only wear sunglasses- how on earth can you keep your eyes open in so much fast wind? 

 [ send green star]

They have goggles to keep the wind out of your eyes also - I wear them at night but on the days with little blowing sand - I wear sun glasses - now the type you use makes the differance.

The shape help alot in keeping the wind out.

 [ send green star]

What's even dorkier is that even the wild things I've done, have often still been tainted with nerdiness.  For example... a friend of mine (a hard core punk and very interesting guy) gave me the tatoo I have on my ankle in my kitchen at my house.  That's kind of wild, right?  Yeah, well, it's the title of my favorite book by Jack Kerouac (Dharma Bum and he even styled the lettering the same as the book cover).  He thought it was the dorkiest thing in the world, but hey, that's me!

good morning all

 [ send green star]

I come back to see a lot of great pics of bikes have been put up. Really nice.

 [ send green star]

Yes, Bonnie, I can imagine.  I'm sure it's got be a cool feeling to be that wild out of towner who knows how to fix their own bike. 

I had heard that part of what made the book so great was its versatility.  My best friend (also named Bonnie- such a rockin name!) recommended it to me telling me that it was about an English teacher.  Her boyfriend rides so that was his appeal and she actualy was reading it for a philosophy class!  From what I hear, it packs a lot of life and experience and wisdom into one book. 

Oh yes, and although, morning is almost over (kind of lame, but it's still morning for me cause I just rolled out of bed...)  good morning everyone! 

 [ send green star]

Good morning, Erin. That book was popular when I was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago. The author had also been an undegraduate there, but left over differences with the approach of the school. He takes a few shots at the UofC in the book.

Personally, I think at that time it was the best school in the world.

That's pretty cool- did you ever get to meet him?

Thanx for the invite Wild One!!!

I ride a '94 roadking(first bike '75 xlh sportster which I still have) and have been riding for over 25 years. Will present stuff as I learn how to get here.

The Outlaws still have a strong presence in the Chicago area. Personally, whenever they are around--I leave. I've seen them do some really violent things and have heard from reputable bikers of the many rapes, robberies, etc. Really don't want to "stick around" them to find out if they are true!

Did the Outlaws lean toward violence back in the late 60's Jeffrey?

 [ send green star]

Let's see, the late sixties and you're 53 now, wouldn't that make you around 16 years old or younger when you rode with the Outlaws, Jeffery? Those tanks I showed you that I painted were for a brother-in-law for one of the 'Outlaws' out of Milwaukee. His brother-in-law made the papers back there in the seventies when they wrote he died of an heart attack, yet because I was doing work for them I heard him tell me, "Heart attack my ass, I seen the body. They killed him with their night sticks." And you call the Outlaws Physco's? As I age, of all the people that have ever been part of my life I honestly appreciate that the 'Outlaws' were put in my memory. The only bike I had was a trumpet when I was 17 and I was to reckless with it. I've been into hot rods since the fifties and still am. I'm working on a 36 3w and my driver is a 37 Plymouth pick up that looks like it forgot to keep up with the hippies. I used to work on Vettes a lot and did custom painting in the 70's. When I moved to Arizona I picked up on what nobody wanted which was body work. Later I moved into metalwork.

My venture with the Outlaws started with the local bike shop feeding me their work. I remember the first tanks I painted for one. When I met him later he had been cleaned shaved and had a haircut. I couldn't understand this. He was on trial for murder became the simple explanation. Then I went on a prison run with them with a 'T' I had. I got in a hassle with one of the inmates as we were right in the court yard with them. When the 'Outlaws' seen this they came over and one sat on each tire of my 'T' and one stood behind it. Nobody and I do mean nobody touched my car after that and our friendship grew. There was a fear of them but at least they wore their colors and let the world know what they were about unlike even our government would have the courage to do. I left the midwest in 79 and do miss those I knew. Yes they do everything they're accused of but there is sort of a chain of command where the young ones are trying to prove themselves and the older ones keep somewhat a sort of sanity to it all. There was a term used by the older ones that has stayed with me when they dealt with things. "MAKE IT RIGHT." I've never seen so called normal striaght people say things like that.

Here's those tanks I wrote about:

The orginal art work came from the Magazine, 'Easy Rider' and had been done by David Mann.

This was painted over lacquer with acrylics used more as water colors and the the final clear was acrylic enamel.

This is finished product with clear and pinstripping.

This is the 'T' I had when I used to go on some of their runs.

Bonnie, I'm not really a biker. I fell in love with rods and kustoms when I was a kid growing up in the fifties. As my talents progressed my reputation grew so I've had thing in magazines since in the seventies. I lived in Wisconsin and used to enter car shows. I partied with a couple bikers while at a show in the upper pennisula. One of them run the bike shop and actually lived by me. I didn't want to get into the bike work because most of my income came from Vette work and that's a different crowd. As life happened I ended up doing work through the bike shop but never realized my friend was a big deal throughout the state in some organization that focused on dealing with the bikers fairly. Eventually I ended up doing work for the Outlaws and becoming friends with some. The bikers were more geniue in their characters than car people with what I call 'uncouth integrity.' I had been in their club house in Milwaukee and have been to some parties with them. This was the late seventies and I also had been going through one hell of a political fight at this same time. The bikers were the only ones I could trust so my relationship to them might not be viewed the same as others.

I ended up leaving Wisconsin in 79, moving to Arizona. My reputation grew some more as I'm sort of surprise at the lack of talent towards the West coast. From the car scene I'd meet bikers here and the main one seemed to be 'The Dirty Dozen' when I first moved. I don't understand it all but it seems there a power struggle going on as others move in. There was a quite a scene a Laughlin a few years ago which I thought involved the HA. I drive this old truck which attracts others and a lot of bikers tell me of differnet Ca. clubs they were part of. I sort of get the impression that many spend as much time in prison as they do on the streets plus they're getting older and only have memories of what bad asses they were to reflect on.

I knew a guy named Jingles who was vice president of the Outlaws and we just clicked. I remember I put my Vette in a car show for him. We used to kick around different idea for building bikes. It wasn't that we were "Outlaws' or rodders, but we were just people doing our thing. Even the ones I randomly meet here usually end up just being who we are sharing some of our pasts. As I said to Jeffery, we only knew each other as brothers. Other than that I don't know of any of those you brought up. 

 [ send green star]

Jeffery after my21 year marriage ended the world kind of got upside down for almost a couple years. I bodily got thrown out of a bar one night and said this sucks. I had a young Mexican guy helping me out at my shop and he brought up about going to parks to spend time by myself. I started doing that on Sundays and barely made it through a full Sunday at first. Then the more I did it the more I didn't want others to be in my space as much. Then something else pissed me off and I took a trip by myself in a 36 Ford coupe. I don't know about what your thoughts are about being free but I sure would think about getting on that bike of yours and hit the road just by yourself and dedicate the trip as a 'Freedom Run for one.'

I have to plead ignorance to what a Warlord is or even as to what their responsibilities are. I went over to a friends shop and asked him but he didn't know either. His name is Miguel and he does some kool work on bikes. I thought maybe he would've had a web site but no such luck so I'll see if I can get some pictures from him. He thought a warlord is one who stirs up the fighting.

Donna we've got clubs that are into AA but even when I knew the ones I knew there were doctors, lawyers and people from all walks of life that were part of them.

One thing I found interesting is that after I expressed my opinions about something I was told that I offended another with what I said. Naturally that left me thinking I'll have to watch what I say from now on which will lead to staying away from those I offend. From being with the bikers we probably offended everybody so we didn't have to worry about what we said to each other. Even if I told about the experiences I've been through people make judgements because some of them aren't really what would be acceptable in normal minds. I think that these bikers and the ones I run into understand each other from our similiar experiences so we end up being the only ones we've got to share with.

Bonnie I had to deal with both the suits and everybody that came along. That's pretty challenging.

Peace

Yr right, we can be wild on this group and let it all hang out!

Welcome Wild Gal.

Thanks for the invitation, WildOne. They're few and far between when you're new. I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time here. Feels right to me.

My wild side? That'll be revealed as time goes on. I will say I've led an interesting life so far. I've toned down my extracurricular activities to a great extent. But that's another story, for another thread. (exhale)

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hey..... tysvm 4 the invite. Im a mom of 2 of my own n step-mom of 2 more. My kids father rode with 1% & moved to colorado when I had 2 in diapers. I stuggled for a while, but it made me stronger & I found a great fire man right after 9/11. He learned to ride a a Vstar 1100 with the help of a good friend in DKMC.Our LINY Local Chapter does lots of great benefits for many organizations. I love being on the back of his scoot during the poker runs & would love to ride with a road capt some day. I used to ride a dirt bike with a girlfriend in my teens. We have a VTX 1800 now and DOT helmets & very much enjoy doing volunteer work for local charities on Long Island.  I also do home pole dance parties, bike dealing & snow removal & have a strong belief in a code of honor and respect for all.

Nice to meet u'all.

love light & laughter,

now & always,

Wild Ones - running through the forest and/or running through the streets,

Wild Ones - parading in our "bare essentials" or painting the town red,

Wild Ones - yipping at the Moon and caressing the skin with words,

Wild Ones - sunning on sandy beaches or whipping on snow filled mountains

Wild Ones - glimming crome of the "wind machines" and racing with red cars

Wild Ones - wild as the Ace of Spades - gentle as the Lamb's Ear...

These are some of the wild adventures this wild one has encountered in her life. Simple, yet effective.  Daunting and exhilerating.  Subtley powerful in my way, without being blown off course.  Green Triumph Bonnevilles, Nissan 300 XZ's, Bultaco's Motorcross Machine, "sewing machine" sound Yamaha motocross bikes, my daughter's rainbow rider 2 wheeler, Tao (my grandson's) dance moves add to me being a Wild One, Shantay (my djembe drum naturally adds to the ambience of me), communicating within many realms is an added bonus in life, my son's rap music keeps me abreast of the now???!!!, my dearest friends wildest experience keep me alive,...along with those trees, streets, beaches, mountains, motorcycles, cars all have blessed me with this life of mine, which ultimately includes you.  You are here because of me, and I am here because of You...... Excellent.  Megwetch Wild One, invitation graciously accepted.  Peace ** Liz
