Sons of Anarchy - Is this what we want people to see bikers as?

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

I recently read a review of the Sons of Anarchy on Mike Odom’s Blog.  I’ve got to admit that from an entertainment standpoint it’s a very good and exciting show.  It has all the elements you would want from a show that geared towards boosting ratings.  Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll and Motorcycles.

But I’ve got a problem with the glorifying of the outlaw biker lifestyle.  Having lived that lifestyle for awhile myself it’s really an image that I’m trying to put down.  I really want people to see us more as free indepedant people who have an agenda that allows for complete individualism.  Most of the real bikers I know today are hard riding and have bigger hearts.  A few weeks ago I posted the “I was Just a Biker” video on my Blog.  This is really the image I prefer to see us putting out there.

This is my humble opinion.  Let’s hear yours.
