Holy Moly! I Was In A Police Raid….

and head out on the highway. Looking for adventure or whatever comes my way…….

I rode with a motorcycle gang. For real. The Avengers. One bad ass bunch of crazies.

Well….except, the chapter we rode with turned out to be a bunch of light-weights. Shortly after my hubby and I started dating, he bought a black, covered-in-chrome Harley. Super cool. Then we met some other people with bikes and started riding with them. It was fairly innocent fun….long rides, poker runs, camping, stuff like that. And, of course, I looked sooooo good on the back of that bike when I’d see my reflection in windows. Tye-dyed shirts. Bandannas. Tight jeans. Boots.

Everything was just hunky-dory until one of the guys met an Avenger and started pushing us to join up. So, we did. I made the most awesome “Property Of” patch. See, the women were the “old ladies” and we were the property of our guys. Now, ain’t that precious?

There was not a single one of us (women) who considered ourselves property of anybody. It just looked so cute wearing those patches. Bwahahahaha

After joing the Avengers, we had mandantory meetings which were nothing but shit that we were already doing. THEN…..WE GOT AN ORDER TO MEET UP WITH SOME OTHER CHAPTERS IN A BIGGER CITY.

OMG! I was soooo excited. Real biker dudes! A real biker bar and everything.

That Saturday, I took a long time making myself look just like I thought a biker chick should look. I had spent a bazillion hours making holes in my jeans and raveling the bottoms. I had bought me a new hot pink bandana and a black Harley t-shirt. Wooowie! I was some hot shit!

We rode to Huntington which took half of the friggin’ day. It should have taken a couple of hours but the truth is….when you have a bunch of Harley’s together, there are always guaranteed break-downs.

We pulled up in front of a biker bar and I just about crapped my stylish lil’ self. It was one of the scariest places that I had ever seen. My friend, Andrea, and I said that there was NO DAMN WAY that we were going in there. And, we didn’t. We got off the bikes and scurried over to the edge of the parking lot, hoping not to be spotted by some murderous rapists.

But, then I had to pee. And, then, she had to pee. Then, I had to pee really, really bad, And, she did, too. Now what? Everyone else had disappeared into the bar and we were alone. We had already decided that entering that club alone was a for -sure rape, death, or both. We had noticed some beer bottles laying not far from us. So, we did the only logical thing we could think of. She covered me while I ducked and wove by way to the bottles and grabbed up two of them. I hurried back to our dark corner and we both hurried up and pulled down our jeans and peed in the bottles. Looking back now, I wonder WTF we were thinking? Why didn’t we just pee on the pavement? Our brains must have been paralyzed with fear. We threw the bottles full of pee out into the darkness and set about waiting some more.

After what seemed like an enternity, our boyfriends came back out and talked us into going in (with promises of laying their lives on the line for us if necessary). So, being cold, bored, and curious, we agreed.

People….it was just like you see in the movies. Hard-core bikers smoking weed and drinking. “Old ladies” dancing on the bar and making out with their men. Cigarette smoke so thick, you could get cancer from standing inside for 30 minutes.

We took a corner at the bar and tried to look cool drinking beers. A gangly, bearded biker who was in dire need of a shower walked up and started a conversation with my boyfriend (husband). He was trying to buy me. I got scared shitless. But, my husband/boyfriend said that I wasn’t for sale. So, the biker offered to trade for me….his Harley for me. And, he was drunk and getting very loud and insistent. This is when it occurred to me that I could be drug off by this unwashed barberian at any moment. Remember, I told you that our group was a bunch of pussies. Just when I thought that I was gonna have to really become somebody’s property, another biker walked up with a “Sgt of Arms’ patch. I didn’t know what that was but I figured that he must be somebody big. And, apparently he was. He ordered the other guy to knock it off and go outside and get some air. I started thanking him and he said no problem. Then, he asked us if we wanted something to eat and we said sure. He went and got 2 bowls full of something and brought them back. It was DOG FOOD! And, in a gesture of commardary, he started eating some. Now, I’m thinking how in the friggin’ hell are we gonna get out of this. I mean, this guy saved me from being gross-boy’s mama. How could I refuse? I couldn’t. So, I got prepared, closed my eyes, and……

the police showed up. It was a raid! And, I swear, I thought that I was gonna pass out….either from relief, fright, or both.

We all got patted down.

The next chapter of this little adventure will come in my next post.

  4. Sounds like another day at the office!

  5. Redbeard….I’m really curious about what kind of office you work in???!!!

  6. you rode with a club not a gang and property patches save ol’ladies so they are cute. coming from an actual patched ol’lady.

  7. Call ‘em what you want. I still have my patch by the way. It took me forever to sew that thing. It took so long that I may request burial in it.

  8. Thats where everyone gets confused if you are a patched ol’lady you know that the patch does not belong to you it is your mans and can be taken from you at any time for any reason.

  9. With all due respect to you and your ol’ man….I am not an “ol lady”. I’ve maintained that since day one. And, yes, I got a lotta grief over that. And, he will take that patch that I made over my cold dead body.

    Oh yeah….BTW….we’ve been married now for 25+ years.

  10. I have alot of respect for any true ol’lady, and after 14 years we know the difference, I just hate to see people who don’t know think the wrong thing. Trust me I am far from just an ol’lady. I’m not trying to be disrespectful, but there are so many here today gone tomoorrow ol’ladies I don’t want them to misunderstand and think they are more than replaceable.

  11. True, true! When you get down to the nitty gritty, everybody is replacable, aren’t they?

    Actually, Faithfully, our club (and you’re probably right about that term) disbanded a few years later. Some of us just couldn’t live the life. We needed steady incomes. Then, the kids came along. “sigh” Things change, ya know. But, genuine rebel hearts never do. I missed riding and I miss the people. 3 or our friends that rode with us stayed in and were dead within 2 years. 2 are in prison. The rest of us are all mainstream middle America now.

    This post was done in light-heartedness….just remembering the good old days. And, in truth, they were good.

    I hope that you never give up that feeling of excitement at seeing an unknown horizon and the wind against your back.

    PEACE AND BLACKTOP TO YA!

  12. Your right we are all replaceable, and I know the feeling of remembering old times, I have 3 children and steady income. Your right this life is not for everyone and some days I don’t think its for me, but I love the people and excitement. I have watched alot of my family die and go to prison and its heartbreaking. I will never give up that feeling because its the only thing that can’t be taken. I really enjoyed reading everything, and I hope you keep on putting it out there. I know alot of people who have been on this site, very enjoyable. I just wanted some of the readers who have never experienced this life to understand, its not as bad as they think. As far as the Avengers I happen to be married to one, and I don’t want everyone to misunderstand them in general.

  13. Here’s an offer for ya….you can post anything that you want people to know about the Avengers. As I said, our group broke apart a few years later. However, a new club formed and are still riding as far as I know. Since, I am now a John Deere riding, boogerwoods residing, law abiding (most of the time) redneck woman, I never see them anymore. So, go for it, girlfriend. Ride free and be happy!

  14. Hey, Faithfully……will ya do me a favor? If you happen to know an Avenger named Snake….about 6′ 2″, 150 lbs., with both arms totally tatooed….tell him TPB said “HEY!”

  15. is that huntington wv?
