Defenders MC a poser group!

[5-Uh O]

I was recently on vacation in the Gatlinburg Tenn. area and noticed a large contingency of a motorcycle club named the "Defenders MC". The first thing I noticed wass they were representing law enforcement. The second thing I noticed is they tried to potray themselves as a part-time 1% outlaw motorcycle gang with their three piece patch and their 1* patch on the front where most omc's wear their 1% patch. I dont get it, wear a uniform 5 days a week then turn into a wanna be 1% on the weekends, POSERS!
Trust me if the Defenders were accepted by their peers at the PD they wouldn't need to try to be accepted as hardcore 1% outlaw motorcycle gang. I saw an actual "real" Ohio "Outlaw MC" member laughing at the entire Defenders MC on the strip to their faces like a bunch of sallies. That was funny to see the DMC dressed so hard core act like little girls when challenged by one Outlaw.
Grow up Defenders, lose the 1% theme, act like professional LE and you will get the respect you deserve.

ok here is the problem the pacthes is a sign of the job not to be a hard core biker as u put it the out laws have there thing and i personaly dont want to step on the life style or there way of doing things most of the defenders just want to ride there bikes and keep the wind in our hair and the sun at our back so looks are not every thing so look at your self before you cast the first stone

First thing is that were not portraying are selves as 1%'ers. Were a bunch of guys who are law enforcement officers and civilians who enjoy motorcycles and love to ride. Don't judge us because we follow the laws that this great nation put in place. Oh Yea! We never had an Outlaw Member tell us anything. Trust me, weren't not scared of, or will ever let them tell us what we will or can do.

Oh Please. All bikers these days are nothing but a bunch of old men. Who really gives a rats azz where they wear their patches or how many they have.
If a "real" biker is offended, such as an Outlaw, then they're the ones who need to grow up. Act your age. You're probably 60 years old or older. Stop trying to be some hard core renegade.
And dude from Miami- Learn to spell. If you're really with law enforcement, that doesn't give me much faith of the educational level required by the department.

The original poster is one of those "sensitive" bikers who is deeply offended that guys in law enforcement can enjoy the same type of motoring and brotherhood that he does. They're typically cop-haters who wouldn't approve of anything involving law enforcement.

The Defenders MC doesn't try to be anything at all like the other motorcycle clubs, other than following some of the very basic traditions that identify a "motorcycle club" as opposed to a "riding club". Wearing a 3-piece patch isn't exclusive to 1% outlaws; many Christian and veteran motorcycle clubs do the same thing. And the 1* symbol originated in SWAT and has been used by law enforcement and military around the world.
Anyone with an ounce of sense would instantly recognize the Defenders as a police club (as the OP did), and not an "outlaw-wannabe" group. A huge 6-pointed Sheriff's star as a centerpatch, american flags, and (as most guys wear) departmental patches are unmistakeable.

Not all cops share the same interests off-duty. Some like golf, or tennis, or boating. The few who enjoy motorcycling and are serious about the idea of sharing a brotherhood of like-minded professionals are the ones who make up this MC. Universal peer acceptance isn't a concern, because no matter what the profession, not every guy is going to be into bikes or want to be a part of a brotherhood based on riding.

I saw a few guys the other day that had 3 piece colors that were Tribe of Judah..i asked one if they are an mc he said no mm...how do the 1percent clubs feel about christian ministries wearing 3 piece colors...are they allowed too...would these guys be in trouble if they met a 1 percent group somewhere

I went to a funeral yesterday in N. E. OH, the Defenders provided a motorcycle escort for the passed mother of a brother. It was 9°f. It seemed like a hard core show of respect to me.
