I need to know the bylaws for the sundowners mc's will my bike and ...

Clubs are families, any way you look at it.  Only this family is all adopted.  We adopt each other as brothers.  Some clubs (Pagans, Demons, Ghostriders) have community property bylaws that you have to respect to join.  In these clubs women have no say.  Some of 'em are BIBO.  Blood in blood out.  To get in, you have to execute a snitch or outsider.  Outsiders are guys who pulled out of the club and have information that could put the club in prison.  Snitches are members that inform to the cops.

Heather, if your man wants to join a BIBO club or one that will treat you like a whore, then your best move is to leave the guy.  That goes double if you have kids and want to spare them something nasty.  Some clubs really are animals. 

Biker babes can be rougher on other women than men ever thought about being.  If you are soft, they will ruin you in no time flat.  You have to be as hard as the men.  If you have what it takes to be a biker babe, you will find other biker babes good company.  If not, sneak out the back and find safe haven.

If you want to ride, and still get the respect you are due, look at Christian Motorcyclist Association.  We ride every bit as hard as any outlaw club but we consider marriage sacred.  You might give a hug to all the ladies and tap fists with all the men, and if your brother or sister has a child the kid will be as safe and welcome with us as he was with you. 

We don't drink, smoke dope, shoot drugs, or tolerate it when guys beat on women or kids.  If you got a beef with someone, talk to him about it.  If that don't square it, talk to your Chapter VP. 

Either way if your man wants to join a nasty club, and you don't want to, then you don't have to go with him.
