This is for all the bikers we know and don't out there.....





I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.

But, you didn't see me, put an extra $ 10.00 in the collection plate

last Sunday.

I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the

sidewalk. But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant. But, you

didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the

hurricane relief.

I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.

But, you didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your

cigarette butt out the car window.

I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children. But, you didn't

see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you, stare at my long hair. But, you didn't see me, and my

friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves. But, you

didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to

those that had none.

I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos. But, you didn't see me, cry

as my children where born and have their name written over and in my

heart

I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But, you

didn't see me, going home to be with my family.

I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But,

you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my

lane.

I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car. But, you didn't see me,

pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you, reading the map as you drove down the road.

But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take

the next turn.

I saw you, race down the road in the rain. But, you didn't see me, get

soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.

But, you didn't see me, trying to turn left.

I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.

But, you didn't see me, leave the road.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.

But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.

I saw you, go home to your family.

But, you didn't see me. Because, I died that day you cut me off.

I was a biker. A person with friends and a family.

But, you didn't see me.

Repost this around in hopes that people will better understand the

biker community .

If you don't forward this, It sucks to be you. I hope you never lose

someone that rides. Have a great week my friends

Bikers here do a lot for the community....

Yes Pinks I know what you mean, I get the "look's" by association many a time when out with my biker friends.

I love bikers, never understood the problem...the bikers I know are Awesome humans!!

My brother was teasing me not too long ago how my "Dream Man is a big burly Biker dude"...:wah: :wah:

The "bikers" and "clubs" in the 'States don't really equate to the majority of such here. See previous threads.

"Bikers" is a pretty broad "catch all" phrase....

Anyone who rides a bike is a biker. Be it a crotch rocket to a cruiser.

From your hells angels, to people who embrace the style, to your casual rider.

It's a huge swath of people, I know people from doctors & police men & women, to truckers and Kings Crews "gang" members, they all share the love of the bike. They all deserve respect on the road.

Thanks for posting that Minks - my respect for bikers is imense.. I've lost a few biker friends because of other peoples ignorance and carelessness. People need to be so much more aware that they (bikers) have a right to use the road aswell
