The battle for bikers' rights is not about patches, parties or poker runs. We fight to protect the freedom and promote the interests of American motorcyclists ... to defend our right to choose our own modes of transportation, attire and lifestyle ... to deter and defy discrimination against us ... and to vanquish those who violate our rights or right-of-way.

"This is my position on Bruce Arnold in the greater context of motorcyclists rights. He will fight anyone, anytime, anywhere, and he will never back down. Never met him, so I can only assume this is the case in person as well as on the Internet. I have and will continue to have Bruce's back when and where I believe he is fighting on behalf of the greater good. I would be hard put to find anyone more aggressive."--Rusty Bongard, 12 March 2009
