MC101 Basic Guidelines
Introductions
We ask all persons entering this forum to post an introduction and fill out your profile adequately. If you have a question about what is adequate, ask. One visit with a new account will require an immediate introduction. Two visits with an older account, without an introduction, will result in your being locked out of this forum. If you are locked out, you will have to contact one of the moderators to request re-entry.
Introduction should include, who you are, where you are from, what you ride, how long you have been riding, etc.,
Purpose & Philosophy
The original purpose of this forum was to educate those who know nothing about the club culture. It was intended to be neutral, to be informational and to allow anyone who entered and acted with respect towards MC101 participants, to remain here. MC101 also has a long history of intolerance for disrespect towards clubs or members of clubs.
IMPORTANT
We will not discuss inter-club issues or mention club names in posts, unless you are in that club - this is a simple courtesy to clubs and their business. This includes, but is not limited to, rumors heard at the bar, news articles, etc. For biker news, we encourage you to visit the White Trash Network, which can be reached by clicking the "Webpage" tab at the top of this forum.
This forum does NOT advocate violence or illegal actions against any group; however, we reserve our right to speak openly about issues or agendas not condoned, as well as certain behaviors.
MC101 reserves the right to lock out anyone, at any time, for actions that we deem NOT in the best interest of the forum.
Links
Some know me here, some don't.. I have a forum called Patch Holders and Supporters and former PH (Out in good standing) from a 1% club...
Education is the key issue to anything, to get where we are is a long process and takes hard work and dedication, Patchholders devote their lives to the biker world and being a 1%er is 24/7. It doesn't matter if on a bike, eating dinner at a restaurant or shopping at Walmart.
At one time we all were new to this and had to learn, and that also meant learning by our mistakes; but the key part is learning. If someone has a question that you know and feel it is a dumb question, DON'T jump on that person but teach that person..
Some questions Patch Holders can't answer because club Business is kept within the club.... Club business is club business !!!!
AS for the LE, they see us as one way and one way only... Some are very clueless to the biker world and go by what they read and stories they hear in their training, this site will also help educate them..
It doesn't matter what patch you wear, the general public sees a patch and they see the bad ass biker, and you could be in a family club. It's about respect and how we act...
If you can be respectful then this is the place for you. As you mature and learn more about the biker lifestyle then you can progress to my Patch Holders and Supporters forum... If you want to be a asshole and need to vent and let loose, I also have another forum for that (let me know and I'll send you the link) but DO NOT do it here at MC101 or at the PH & S forum..
Respects, Magilla

Law Enforcement Officers on this Site
We are fully aware that there are law enforcement officers from various agencies that choose to enter this site for their own means. While law enforcement officers are not prohibited from entering this site, it will be stated that those who choose to argue their legal powers with the traditions of the MC community will not maintain their access to this site. Also, LEO's and their "clubs" will generally find the reception they receive less than hospitable, and might consider this before hitting the post button. There are some who are known to be LEO's who are active participants here, who do not attempt to "badge" the conversations; however, it has been found that these are few and far between, so if you are a LEO, and feel that your badge gives you some extra authority, then this is not the board for you, and you might find yourself leaving faster than it took to log into this site.
