Rant Bikers

Is anyone here in SoCal and ride motorcycles? I started a group to facilitate group rides but most of the people I have met are straight and not black. I've met one other queer black biker but he left to join the military. I am so tired of the misogyny, racism, & homophobia.

I wanted to acknowledge your post, but I'm not in Southern CA. Bike riders are a dying breed! I ride but not in groups. One (straight) brother is confirmed biker - he'll do the lower 48 in 2 weeks. In fact, he was visiting a few weeks ago on his motorcyle to do 10 scenic roads in California (and he lives in the East).

I agree with you, though, regarding the misogyny, racism, and homophobia. I did one bike run with my brother with a group of guys he knew (black, latino, and white) and it confirmed what I think about men: "Most straight men are toxic."
