Since 2003 I've began doing Motorcycle Shows to Support the BHC members. Each year my rights are becoming targeted as what I display on my table. I just finished the Super Show 2010, which could be my last one they'll let me do also. They say I can not display any type of support what so ever for any 1%er club in Ontario. In jail or walking the streets.
It is known fact that Ontario Confederation of Clubs I have been with since 1998 takes a stand as to where we stand with all members of any 1%er Clubs. Yet our rights are being taken away each years more and more. Now they can ban you from even going to the show in Toronto. They recently refused to rent booth space to those wearing "bad colours".
"The OCC was formed out of necessity. Simply put, O.R.R.A. discriminates against some members of the motorcycling community. Discrimination is exactly what the OCC is fighting against. Discrimination is based upon lack of knowledge, misinformation, self-interest, and the I feel it in my bones paranoia syndrome. It is difficult to educate the public about our sport/lifestyle/recreation/hobby/ or whatever you want to call it, when we aren't educated about ourselves. OCC members are educating themselves to the chagrin of those in our community who fears a diminution of their own falsely perceived personal importance. There are no big shots in the OCC, one club one vote. The 1% clubs represent a minority of our membership. Amongst ourselves we've dispelled some misconceptions and reinforced some old ideas, but we've not been so arrogant as to restrict our field of view. Allowing ALL motorcyclist to join the OCC through their own clubs does not promote motorcycle brand discrimination; criminal activity; religious persecution; racism; gender discrimination" Bernie Guindon/Founder/Honorary Chairman OCC )
My heart is very troubled by all this as you have read a little about Ontario. Please show your support, because our rights are sure being taken away faster then we think these days.
