The
two-wheeled code of the west
It used to be that all bikers shared a common bond, an
unspoken code of ethics and behavior that transcended words and was built
on actions. There was never a bible written on this Bikers Code of the
West and there was no need for such to me. But the times are a-changin'
and there seems to be a lot of new riders out there. These days the riders
you see blastin' down the tarmac are just as likely to be clad in shorts
and sneakers as jeans and engineer boots. And the roughest, toughest-looking
biker you pull up next to could be your doctor or lawyer and may be wearin'
a Rolex watch under his leathers. There's nothing wrong with that, so
long as these new riders learn the Code of the West just as we old-timers
did.
Being a biker used to be about using your creativity to take a basket case old hawg and using only grit and ingenuity, turning it into a one of a kind eye dazzler, then risking your life on the asphalt on a bike you made yourself out of pride. Bikers wore leather and grease because they knew cagers would just as soon run them down as look at them, so they had to be intimidating. We were a breed unto ourselves with no union, no support group, and in many cases, no family . We had to make it in the world of our own, against all rules, against mainstream society, and against all odds. You know, we survived and prospered because of the Biker Code of the West and we never took crap from anybody. As an old scooter tramp named Jug once said, "It's every tramps job to school the young. How else are they gonna know a Panhead from a bed pan?" With that in mind, we bring you a primer on the basic two-wheeled Code of the West. Take heed, for our Code is a hallowed one filled with honor and loyalty, the likes of which have not been since the days of knighthood.

National Association of Buffalo Soldiers & Troopers Motorcycle Clubs:
The
organization that represents the BSMC chapters wearing the Chicago patch
is called the NABSMC. It was created in 1999 to represent the members
in a unified fashion. It's mission is to provide a framework for the growth
of BSMC organizations beyond their local boundaries, and to execute on
a national level the projects and events that will offer the members an
experience that is larger and more fulfilling than that which could be
created in a single state. Currently the organization boasts 52 chapters
in 21 states. All chapters participate in the management of the NABSMC
through what is called the National Council. Each chapter has at least
two seats on the Council and that body decides the direction overall organization
will move in and the actions it will take. The NABSMC has a national website
that features links to all of the chapters that have active websites.
