Does anyone know what those noisy kids' bikes that run on petrol are called?
If you're seriously thinking of starting a M.C. or other type club centered around motorcycles, then do an on-line search and check out all the serious clubs’ websites(if they show it). In general, I would recommend you do some research and find out who is the top dog club in your neck of the woods. You can find out easy enough by asking at the motorcycle shops, biker friendly bars, etc. Are there any other non-1% clubs in your neighborhood and if so who are they and what type of club are they. You may consider hanging around several to see if there is a fit. If you find one you like, you could approach them and find out what requirements are to join their club.When you find the local dominant, MAKE SURE you read up on them if you can. If the have a web site, read the "About Us", "Our History", "Our Brotherhood", and any "Mission Statement" they may have. Then read and check out everything else on those sites too. That should give you somewhat of an idea of what's involved and, at the very least, the same things that they'll expect from the other clubs wanting an OK in their area.

Also, with that said, different clubs may have some differences in the way they work too and what they'll want from any new start-ups.
In the 125cc bikes which is the best bike?
Then there are all types of "other" clubs, but not counting the area's dominant(1%) club or their support clubs, most of the others seen around are these six: Mom & Pop social MCs, RC's(Riding Clubs), Military Clubs, Fireman Clubs, Cop Clubs, or Bikers' Rights Organizations that ride.

The dominant MC's(1% Clubs) and their Support Clubs normally work on a "need-to-know" basis. If you really want to find out a lot more about a certain club, joining them is the only way. You'll need to become (if invited in) a Hang-around first for a period of time and then, if OK'ed, go to the second stage, a Prospect for another amount of time, for the club. If you pass 100%, only then would you become an equal, a full-patched member.
So, let's start with RC's: Some MC's have no problem with RC's(Riding Clubs). That may be because they both ride in very different circles and live by different codes. There are other clubs that look down at RC's and others that see them only as weekend warriors or wannabes. But they tolerate them as long as they stay out of the MC's biz, as long as the RC's members don't start putting on the "macho act", or trying to mimic the real MC's. Then there's also a few clubs that see a place for RC's, that hopefully, the RC will join an area MRO's(Motorcycle Rights Organizations), and help our cause by helping to vote out the politicians that deny our biker rights, etc, etc.

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AN ITALEJET DRAGSTER 125cc AND A 180cc (APART FROM 55cc).?
The Military, Firefighter and Cop Clubs: Most of the oldest MC's have some kind of military background which got them to start their clubs, but we also have the MC's that proudly boast their military background and military membership, right in their club name. Some allow only members from a particular branch of the military, while a few also allow non-military supporters to join. Although they're also into biker rights, their main objective is to focus on military rights and POW/MIA issues. The Firefighter Clubs are made up of their brother Firefighters, so their main objectives are going to be Firefighter related issues and the same goes for the Cop Clubs, with a LEO(Law Enforcement Officers) membership.

Biker Rights or Freedom Fighter Clubs/Orgs (Organizations):
What years were the Harley Davidson FXR3's made?
They may be either a MC (dominant club OK'ed their use of the MC patch, usually) or an Organization(if not OK'ed). But with that said, some Bikers Rights Organizations only want to be known as an "Organization" that rides, and not a MC, so as not to take anything away from their objective of what they do. And that would be, to do everything in their power to aid, support, and further all the brotherhood, freedoms, and rights of all riders, whether they be hardcore bikers, or just the occasional motorcyclist. That would include making websites and newsletters for "calls to action", email and letter writing campaigns to all riders, and to the politicians and legislators when needed, putting on runs or riding in and showing support for motorcycle causes, motivating our riding masses, speaking out against injustice and bad laws, and speaking out and/or voting in favor of our best interests. And that's just to name a few of the things they do, passionately, for EVERY motorcyclist.
Ive been told that gilera the Italian bike manufactures is going out of business is this true?
Why would you want to own a Harley?
And of course, there may also be other MC's and non-MC's whose Clubs have their own agendas, but I'm not going to get into them, that's their biz (and usually only on a “need-to-know" basis).
How to put a motorcycle on a rear bike stand?
Anyway, I'm not an expert on all the various clubs out there, but I think it would be safe to say, that if you still want to start up an MC, you'll need a plan that your group can bring to the dominant club to show them what your group plans to be about. And since you now know a little about all the various types of MC's and Org's from the explanations above, your group should start with at least 5-6 members and hold meetings amongst yourselves to formulate what type of group you want to be. Then you'll also plan out your officers, your mission statement and what you'll all want to be about, your by-laws, rules, etc, etc. (DON'T RUSH ANY OF THIS, because once it's all done, this is what you'll be bringing with you to the first meeting with the dominant club).
What is meant by cc for a bike????
Once your group believes they've covered everything and you're all set, then you'll have to make contact with the dominant’s closest chapter and ask to speak with one of their Officers. If your state has a COC (Coalition of Clubs or Confederation of Clubs) that means they'll be holding monthly or quarterly meetings there with other clubs and that's usually the best way to find their members. Don't interrupt any patchholder, but if he's not busy talking to someone, or he doesn't look like he's keeping an eye out for anything, you can politely ask him if he'll set up a meet date for your group. I would not advise approaching the Pres or the SAA. 99.9% of the time, they will have other things on their minds than someone wanting to start a club on their turf.
Plannin to buy a custom made Bike.?
If OK'ed for a meet, don't be late. Everyone who's supposed to go with you had better show up, or you'll "lose face" before you've even gotten to speak.
Anybody have an opinion on a 2001 Suzuki SV-650s?
Going up to a dominant club and announcing your intention to start up a motorcycle club and not have the right answers would be considered a show of disrespect or ignorance, neither of which would be tolerated. No one said it's easy and it's not.
What is the purpose of a Kuryaken charger?
Bring all of your club's documents, patch design, name, etc., with you for either their approval or changes that they request. More than likely you are going to be asking to start a one patch (mom and pop) club. They probably aren't going to go for anything more than that, as they expect everyone to start at the bottom, just like a hangaround in a club. Forget putting any thing firm together on a patch or deciding on any colors for now. The CoC and local dominant club will decide what is acceptable. Gotta pay the dues first. Be aware that in some places, there is an agreement between the established clubs that enough MCs are already in the area that no new MC clubs will be formed.
Be honest: Answer all questions truthfully. Liars won't be tolerated and your club instantly loses any credibility that it might've had.
Where can i get a harley davison at a cheap price?
Come well prepared. Since you should've already taken all the time needed to plan out everything, then you should already be able to answer any questions you're asked. Again, it goes to your group's credibility and whether you're actually ready to run the club right, or you're just seen as a bunch of ****-ups in their eyes.
Does anybody else find something slightly sexual about certain vehicles?
But if you do wind up in that situation, DON'T DARE LIE, it's better to explain that you don't have the answer for them at that moment, but that you will get the answer to them ASAP, AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO IT!
Need good cycle GPS opinions.?
While a club may work out a compromise with you, it could very well be that your group will do the compromising. And if you're told to make any changes to your rules, patch design, etc., or even what you can or can't wear, then that's it, that's just what you'll have to do in order for your group to exist in the MC world.
What is a 2005 BMW f650gs worth with 9700 miles on it. good cond.?
It's also imperative that you and your group need to familiarize yourself with the information right here on the MC/RC Education Site so you won't make an innocent mistake that could turn into a sign of disrespect.
Also, if they just say "No" to everything about your group becoming a MC, then that's it, it's over.
How much would a 1980 Royal Enfield cost ?
At least you tried, but now you'll just have to make do, the very same way you had been doing. And the good thing is that you can still ride together and show your respects, you just won't be doing it as a declared MC, or wearing a patch. No matter WHAT kind of club you decide on, in the advice here is solid for all kinds of clubs, MC or not. All types of clubs should at the very least let the local clubs know who they are and what they are about. By doing some kind of meeting, you can save potential future problems with the other clubs in the area.
Motorcycle for a highschool student?
Can someone please give me instructions to unrestrict my VMOTO Monza 50cc. Need a bit more power.?
Lastly, a patch is not a requirement to form and enjoy a brotherhood. Not many people are cut out to be in the traditional MC lifestyle. It's a lot of hard work and time on the road and away from family and friends. The club becomes your family and friends. The club will be expected to support the other clubs in the area. Often times it may conflict with something you may have planned.
