Bikers and Strip Clubs
steve229
Made a Saturday afternoon club visit and was surprised to see the parking lot full of Harleys and guys in colors smoking outside. Who knew the club had its own motorcycle gang?
Actually the club was one of the stops on a "Poker Run," so there was a steady stream of bikers coming in all afternoon. No trouble (these bikers were more "Wild Hogs" than "Sons of Anarchy") and it gave the club a nice lively vibe for a weekend afternoon. Bikers were good tippers, bartenders and dancers were happy, and I still had no problems getting my usual laps.
So, anyone have any stories about bikers and strip clubs?

Another twist on this topic is, have you guys ever gone to a strip club and saw in the parking lot an abnormally high amount of pick up trucks (mostly looking old and beat up), and then go inside and see a bunch of hillbillies inside. I did recently at kahoot's. A dancer was sitting on the lap of one and I moved my lips to communicate "wanna dance". She gets off the hillbillies lap and says "what a bunch of dumb hillbillies" on our way to the lap dance room lol.
Many years ago, I visited a friend of mine who was attending Winona State University in Minnesota and we went to one of the strip clubs across the Mississippi River in Wisconsin and I could have sworn they had at least 30 motorcycles in the lot. And many of the women dancing there were grotesque, one of my worst strip club experiences ever. It was like they were only dancing for the bikers.
As for samsung's topic of seeing pickup trucks and hillbillies, that scenario is essentially what going to any rural strip club is about. My #1 club, Shotgun Geniez in Hamburg, Iowa, is like that, and by and large, the dancers ignore the hillbillies/rednecks, sometimes even if they are rednecks themselves.

The F Word
The bikers show everyone how they roll.
I love how just owning a Harley and putting on some leather jacket can make someone a "bad ass." Those guys make me laugh. Nothing like buying your way into being "tough."
The *degree* to which that's true for any given group is highly variable, of course, but the average seems to be slightly to the live-and-let-live end of the spectrum. Makes sense, really, since most of them are in a group in the first place just because they want to get together with like minded folks, just like nearly every other member of humanity.
Interestingly enough, the one actual "gang" I knew, the one which actually was engaged in some more than shady activities, was even more this way than the ones that were in it just to be a biker gang, unless you crossed them. Even then, the incidents I heard about were never actually legally attributable to them, even though everybody had a good idea who it was. :)
And of course, the "poker runs", and charity rides have done a fair bit to make them more respectable, even if most of them still want to look like they just came out of Easy Rider...
AMEN, brother/sister!

A number of my riding friends rode up there last year for Rolling Thunder. They got caught on the way home in some awful weather. End result, two bikes down in NC. Both bikes one rider hurt. Broken leg/ankle and damaged shoulder. He is doing well, but hasn't gotten back on a bike yet. BTW, he is over 70!
How do you feel about old "ole' teddy bears"?
Twice yearly there is a Police escorted ride from Miami or Islamorada in the Keys for the Police Officers Assistance Trust. Supports the families of motormen killed. Last ride I was on was over 750 bikes on about a 65 mile run.
I don't mess with anyone and I'd never start anything with anyone. I just laugh because there are plenty of bad asses out there in the world and gangs too. I think it's funny that people pay a lot of attention to guys riding motorcycles together as if that makes any of the riders tougher or their gang any more bad ass than a latino gang. The bikes don't make you badass, but everyone thinks they do. That's what's funny. I should say, I have a bike, so I'm not anti bike. I just think it's funny that people think guys one bikes are any different or more bad ass than guys in cars.
There are a lot more bad ass people walking around the streets and driving in cars every day around you than a bunch of guys with loud exhaust systems and leather jackets. They have you believing the hype. Most of the ones I see are old timers, too old to do anything physical and half the time they are mid level managers form the accounting department if you really ask them!
Don't underestimate them. They're bad, bad guys.
Most of them are average guys that just really like motorcycles and the life style and "outlaw, anti-establishment" culture that goes along with it. When I lived in the FL Keys, I would see them ALL the time. Vast majority were either white-collar guys enjoying a weekend on their harley with their buddies, or blue-collar guys doing the same. Only very rarely would I see a true 1%'er MC like the Pagans, the Mongols, Hells Angels, Bandidos, etc...
How old and how furry? ;)
Well, I can't yet collect social security, but I sure am knocking on the door, and as for "furry", only a little biker fur on the face. Also, as my Grandfather used to say, hair does one of two things, turns gray or turns loose. Mine is still hangin' on! :)
