The COC is, first and foremost, a motorcyclist rights advocacy group. COC dues go to help fund safety awareness campaigns like the Share the Road campaign here in Texas, as well as political advocacy against things like Motorcycle only checkpoints and other motorcycle rights issues.

You're naïve to think that the Banditos are funding the "Share the Road" campaign. That's from TxDOT. I'm in media advertising and have worked on the account. It's funded by TxDOT through grants and can be easily researched on the internet as well. They may spend some COC money on attorneys and lobbying, but they aren't paying for advertising campaigns.

You need to separate the Bandidos and the COC in your mind. They are not the same thing. And the COC definitely participates in spending funds for activities related to and coinciding with the Share the Road campaign and other motorcycle awareness initiatives throughout the state.

This is probably a lot closer to the truth than the $10k per month per Chapter nonsense. This and the Texas rocker. The Bandidos take the Texas rocker very seriously, as does any other Club that claims a state. There have been rumblings of HA wanting to move into TX for a long time, and about links between them and the Cossacks.

MCs, RCs, MAs and MMs that are part of the Confederation of Clubs pay $10 per member per year as dues to the COC. How that morphed into $10K per month per chapter I will not understand. And that money goes to the COC, not directly to the Bandidos.

Absurd. Grown men playing stupid kid games with real weapons and people are trying to justify it. Vest should say "My dad never taught me better".

Patch holder heirarchy, wear of a state rocker, and the status of one particular MC is a more complex issue than I have the time to write about and, I suspect, longer than you would take the time to read or actually consider. Suffice it to say that a dominant MC serves a legitimate purpose in the Motorcycle community that has nothing to do with crime or money.

Don’t get me wrong, I am fully aware that members of some MCs may not be the most upstanding and law abiding members of society. However, the Sons of Anarchy fueled fantasy of all bikers, or even all 1% bikers, as rabid criminals is completely ludicrous.

No it about paying, $10,000 per month per Chapter (Bikers safe house), where Kazaks refused to pay.

LOL. You need to stop watching bad TV. There is not a shred of fact in your statement about the MC community.

Both Bandidos and Kazaks are 1% bikers.

Which makes nothing about what you said true. I am a member of a Veterans MA. My wife is a member of an MC. I know and associate with members of a lot of MC's, RC's and MA's, including 1% Clubs. There is zero fact in anything you posed above. If you have an actual source for your information, feel free to post it.

BTW, is spelled Cossacks, not Kazaks.

BTW, I used to arrest Bandidos. They are NOT nice people.

I'm not personally close with anyone in their Club. However, I have never had anything but positive interactions with them over the last 6 years of riding.
