You Need Me On That Wall!: Brit Iron Rebels

Brit Iron Rebels

I just got accepted into the Brit Iron Rebels! This is a, still pretty small, group of men and women who enjoy vintage and retro-styled British motorcycles. Not an outlaw club, but with some of the "rockers" mentality. There are less than 200 in the group, and we are spread out world-wide. We get together through an online forum.

Here is the website Brit Iron Rebels.

So in the five years since I wrote this, I sold my Thruxton and stopped participating in the BIR.

We had a pretty fun get-together in Gunnison in 2008. And I had a good time hanging out with the guys in the 5280 chapter, but I'm not a part of this group any longer.

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. ...my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
