Love it...

My own favorite loggers vs bikers story:

When I was but a young man, I found myself up north in the logging town of Darrington, WA during their annual "logging days" or some other such festival. I was in the tavern (underage, but I "blended"), having arrived on my Sportster (the one I still own). No problem, a bunch of young guys drinking beer and playing pool.

Then it got kind of loud - a whole bunch of bikers, gang members from one of the area's "clubs" rolled in. Tried to take over the place. It didn't take long before a bunch of the young loggers had their lead schithead pinned down on a pool table, giving him a "haircut", cutting off his long hair. The bikers left with their tails between their legs, but swearing "revenge".

The next morning (I was still there, having drank too much to ride home the night before, with the friendly bartender offering me a place to sleep) I wandered on down to the fairgrounds. Lots of loggers with their families parking up, getting ready to enjoy their day at the fair. Someone noticed the sound of approaching motorcycles. All of the security people suddenly disappeared, along with every county Deputy in the parking lot. The loggers retrieved their chain saws, axes, mauls, and other items from their trucks.

The bikers pulled into the parking lot, looking as menacing as they could. Dozens of chainsaws started, and loggers started to circle. It was over before it even started. Demonstrating remarkable good sense, the bikers decided to leave. Must have heard their mothers calling...
