The future that awaits our [COBB] Society I'm certain exceeds the imagination of any of us, least of all our founding father Jimmy [Trotta]. What a great idea those guys came up with. All change is not progress, but progress cannot be attained without change. There are more motorcycles today than ever, yet for the most part membership in relative organizations and clubs is on the decline. The world is ready for something new and different. I believe with every fiber in my body that C.O.B.B. is the answer, and the difference, if we keep on the right track, and keep on keeping on.

Respect is the Name of the Game!
The following text (within the red box) has been blatantly stolen from
the COBB Society Home Website @
www.cobbsociety.com

What is C.O.B.B. Society?

C.O.B.B. is an elite Society of Crippled Old Biker Bastards and Bitches who have overcome the fear of riding after a crash, and we all know that Crashing Sucks!  The difference is, we are persistent, positive thinking people, who continue to ride after a road casualty.  We have overcome the fear of falling through our desire to ride, and that is a huge Success!  This is our common bond for Cobberodity. Our society is strictly about fun and the good ole days.  It was created so Cobbers alike could communicate and gather all over the world of their own free will and with no commitment.  We are a casual society that opposes all controversy and are strictly social for our passion of riding.  We would like to hear your stories and perils of the road and make them available to share with Cobbers all over the world.  Ride Till You Rot!

Our Society's GOLDEN RULE

Respect is the name of the game, give it and you will receive it. Remember, we are NOT a motorcycle club or riding club, we're a society.  Better known as a Social Club. We do not subscribe to anything but our own stupidity. Individual people may have individual "associations" with other entities. Those are strictly personal and have absolutely nothing to do with our C.O.B.B. Society.  COBBers are friends to all riders, no matter their affiliation, race, color or creed.  C.O.B.B.  Society remains neutral and has no affiliations with any other organization. We are the guys that have overcome our fear, ruffed off our ego's, and after brushing ourselves off and are still on the hog after all these years. AGE + EXPERIENCE  + RIDING = C.O.B.B.  That's all there is to it, and that's what we are all about! Please keep this in mind at all times.  We've been around the block a few times to say the least. Which has given us the experience to know we have nothing to prove and respect what everyone around us is doing. And riding is what has brought on all of this wonderful Cobbrodity! So let's keep it that way!  This is not a suggestion. Party in Peace!

Our Theme and Image

FACT: For several years, membership in all facets of motorcycling communities is on the decline. In this time of change, there is a real need and attraction for something new and different.

FACT: We are not a Motorcycle Club, nor do we have intentions of becoming one. We are merely a Society of imperfect people who due to the fault of ourselves, or others, are bound together by the fact that we have “to one degree or another,” had an imperfect riding incident on a motorcycle.  There is no way one could or want, by my way of thinking, probate for such a society.

C.O.B.B. Society Chapters

W e have received requests from all over the world for C.O.B.B. Society Chapters.  Please understand the National Organization, along with Chapter One of Kissimmee, FL, are laying the road map right now.  When you observe Chapter 1’s short past, it’ s clear that they’ ll have a long future. It’s taken an incredible amount of effort and organization on their part. (Ask Newt, president of Chapter One, the last time he’s had a day off and he’s retired).  If you are interested in starting a Chapter, get to know other Cobbers in your area and spread the word of C.O.B.B. Ride together in the name of C.O.B.B and once you've recruited 50+ members in your area, then you’ ll be in position of becoming official.  If you’re serious about starting some Cobberodity in your area, check out Chapter One. Until there are enough members and participation in your area, follow some of the guidelines for setting up a COBBUNITY. 
Check out UK C.O.B.B.  and Berkshire Riders [Western Mass] C.O.B.B. They are both prime examples of Cobberodity, and are well on their way to becoming official.

Starting a COBBUNITY

C.O.B.B. members, these are suggestions to get you on your way to starting a Chapter!  Search Members by State  online as a way to find other Cobbers in your area and get started!

1. Take the time to get together, life's short.

2. Spread the word! Riding after a crash is a success!

3. Meet a certain amount of times a month.

4. Form fundraisers and parties we would be happy to spread the word for you.

5. Create low dollar food fun, and lies to get together. Corn boils, crawfish, potatoes ...

6. Create your own meeting spot.

7. Pass time with story telling and bobbing for French fries.

8. PAY ATTENTION TO THE GOLDEN RULE .

FUN STUFF

1. Chop and section crappers for racing. Wheelie wheelchairs, bed races, and walker build offs. (Walker build offs you must start from scratch. Have a walker, pile of bike parts, duct tape, string, bubblegum, and zip ties are always required.

2. Go to swap meets. Promote and sell COBBrodery by retailing COBB products.

3. Get girls to dress in corn stalks. Corn her the COBB queen, and then have her shuck herself in front of you. (Contact your local escort service or strip club to find a queen who is willing to shuck herself just for fun).

4. Make COBB information available in your local town and throughout your state.

Hope this helps! Any other suggestions or questions on your mind
should be forwarded to the [COBB Home Website]

The Biker's Creed:

I ride because it is fun.
I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding.
I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so.
I ride my machine, not wear it. My machine is not a symbol of status. It exists simply for me, and me alone.
My machine is not a toy. It is an extension of my being, and I will treat it accordingly, with the same respect as I have for myself.
I strive to understand the inner-workings of my machine, from the most basic to the most complex.
I will learn everything I can about my machine, so that I am reliant upon no one but myself for its health and well being.
I strive to constantly better my skill of control over my machine. I will learn its limits, and use my skill to become one with my machine so that we may keep each other alive. I am the master, it is the servant. Working together in harmony, we will become an invincible team.
I do not fear death. I will, however, do all possible to avoid death prematurely. Fear is the enemy, not death. Fear on the highway leads to death, therefore I will not let fear be my master. I will master it.
My machines will outlive me. Therefore, they are my legacy. I will care for them for future bikers to cherish as I have cherished them, whoever they may be.
I do not ride to gain attention, respect, or fear from those that do NOT ride, nor do I wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know me, all I wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me, I will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me and not fear others like me.
I will never be the aggressor on the highway. However, should others mess with me, their aggression will be dealt with in as severe manner as I can cast upon them.
I will show respect to other bikers more experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will learn from them all I can. However, if my respect is not acknowledged or appreciated, it will end.
I will not show disrespect to other bikers less experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will teach them what I can. However, if they show me disrespect, they will be slapped.
It will be my task to mentor new riders, that so desire, into the lifestyle of the biker, so that the breed shall continue. I shall instruct them, as I have been instructed by those before me. I shall preserve and honor traditions of bikers before me, and I will pass them on unaltered.
I will not judge other bikers on their choice of machine, their appearance, or their profession. I will judge them only on their conduct as bikers. I am proud of my accomplishments as a biker, though I will not flaunt them to others. If they ask, I will share them.
I will stand ready to help any other biker that truly needs my help.
I will never ask another biker to do for me what I can do for myself.
I am not a part-time biker. I am a biker when, and where ever I go. I am proud to be a biker, and hide my chosen lifestyle from no one. I ride because I love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, I ride to better understand myself, my machine, the lands in which I ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself.

Live today like to tomorrow may never come

I Saw You, Did You See Me?

I saw you;
          hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
You didn't see me;
          put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.

I saw you;
          pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.
You didn't see me;
          playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you;
          change your mind about going into the restaurant.
You didn't see me;
          attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you;
          roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by.
You didn't see me;
          driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

I saw you;
          frown at me when I smiled at your children.
You didn't see me;
          when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you;
          stare at my long hair.
You didn't see me;
          and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you;
          roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
You didn't see me;
          and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.

I saw you;
          look in fright at my tattoos.
You didn't see me;
          cry as my children were born and having their name tattooed on my skin and in my heart.

I saw you;
          change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
You didn't see me;
          going home to be with my family.

I saw you;
          complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.

I saw you;
          race down the road in the rain.
You didn't see me;
          get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you;
          run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
You didn't see me;
          trying to turn right.

I saw you;
          cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
You didn't see me;
          leave the road.

I saw you;
          waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
You didn't see me;
          I wasn't there.

I saw you;
          go home to your family.
You didn't see me;
          because I died that day you cut me off.

To you I was just a biker, not a person with a family and friends.
