Angelo, I know exactly what you mean. The attacks would have become personal and directed towards you after you confronted them openly. My situation continued to get worst and worst after I confronted the chapter about the racism. The whole situation really left a bad taste in my mouth about hooking up with a predominately white organization or chapter especially a Christian Motorcycle group. After that experience, I began to go by some of the black MC's clubhouses and the atmosphere and the brotherhood was much different and inviting. I have even considered prospecting for one of them, but my church had asked me if I thought about starting a motorcycle ministry within our church. At times now I really don't want to mix religion with motorcycling, maybe it's because of what I experienced. I put together the patches and outlined the structure of the motorcycle ministry for the church, but I really desire to just be part of a organization that is established and that has a true sense of brotherhood. What do you think about this situation?

Hello my brother. Thanks for the props. I'm glad you enjoyed the pics. It really is my attempt to bring some nostalgia back on the set and show how we used to party not so long ago. A lot has changed since those party days but we sometimes need to take agiant step backwards in order to continue moving forward. My 'Cobras Parties' gallery is still growing. It is a memorial and a collage to those of us who got together on a regular basis and partied with each other. We were in New York but as you can see, patches from different cities and states came together for a common cause, and that was to have a good time with each other. We had no problem either about traveling to someone elses house. Back then we didn't worry about hotels and things. The bond between clubs was so tight that we stayed at different club members homes and they did the same when they came to seeus. Space was never an issue because there ws always plenty of floor space. As you will see in some of the pictures in the galleries I have yet to post. I recall sleeping under the kitchen table at 'Tigers' house. I think that was in Maryland.
At any rate enjoy the pictures. This is a sharing of my experiences as a scooter bum through the years.
