Odd encounter

[oldodge41]

My wife and I took the old Dodge to a cruise in / fly in at Mid State Airport near Philipsburg, PA today. Nice event. On the way home we stopped at a convenience store for refreshments. She went in and I waited in the car. I saw this biker, a 1% type, with the proper patches etc, at the gas pumps. He sees the car and makes a bee line to me. He walks up and says "Cool car, what is it?' I told him and he proceeded to tell me about one of his "brothers" who has a "49 Dodge. Before he leaves he says "Sir, would it be ok if I took a picture?" I said it was ok and he took his photo and said "Thank you sir." He then returned to his bike.Respect is something rarely practiced anymore. I hope he gets as good as he gave.

i am not surprised. i know the biker group....the rule....treat me as i would treat you.

speaking as a hardcore mopar guy, but also a biker, 99.9 percent of bikers are the greatest guys you'll ever meet, there basicly just like car guys but with bikes, or with both in my case

I have had a bike, Van, and a Mopar most of my life.

For many years, a bike was what I rode on my vacations.

I always ran into many friendly folks where ever I would go.

In most cases, just show respect and that is what you will receive.

I've never owned a bike, but in years past I was acquainted with some

of our local bikers. They were always pleasant, and I think if I'd ever

gotten in trouble in some bar where they were.....I'd have had plenty

of help. (Thank goodness I never had to test that thought.)

I am a motorcycle rider, have been for 30+ years. I know a little about the 1%er

culture. I have never had an issue with these guys personally. Definitely not a lifestyle for me though. Big difference between a motorcycle enthusiast and a hard core biker. None have ever given more than a passing glance when I am on my Kawasaki. Just shows the power of an old car as a conversation starter. A lot of, so called, professionals could take a lesson in respect from this guy. Some interesting reading here for anyone interested in learning about MC's http://www.rcvsmc.net/id6.html

i recently asked a motel owner during a m/c rally. he said that the riders leave the rooms in best condition and behave nicely..he'll take them any day...he did report that another group was always the worst with their annual convention. (no i wont tell you).

Pictures from the show when I arrived. I didn't shoot any after most of the cars/planes arrived. Too busy shooting the breeze with a couple old friends I hadn't seen in a while,

I wonder if the engine in the Mustang replica is a Falconer V-12, or if it is something else with some fake exhaust stacks .....

I always live by the rule of..........treat others as you would have them treat you.

It is something else. Twin cylinder. The caption above the fake exhaust says:

V12-10
