Please keep this
information in mind!
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. COBBer’s are friends
to all riders, no matter what their affiliation. We remain neutral
and have no affiliations with any other organization. We are the
guys that have overcome our fear, ruffed off our ego's, brushed
ourselves off and are still on two wheels after all these years.

If you choose
to wear the "support" merchandise of your favorite
"home team" when wearing your C.O.B.B. shirt or
patch, you do so on your own.
|
AGE + EXPERIENCE
+ RIDING = C.O.B.B.
That's all there is to it and what we are
all about! Please keep this in mind at all times. Because of our
age, we've been around the block a few times to say the least. This
has given us the experience to know we have nothing to prove and
respect what everyone around us is doing. Riding is what has brought
on all of this wonderful Cobberodity! So let's keep it that way!
It doesn't matter what walk of life you come from.
We don't have wannabe's, we have gonnabe's!
Party in peace and Ride 'Til Ya Rot!
RE: OUR THEME AND IMAGE
FACT: For the past several
years, membership in all facets of motorcycling communities is on
the decline.
Daily in the US, people are becoming more independent in thought,
attitude and action. The main theme of clubs and organizations no
longer has the magnetic appeal of yesterday. Independence detracts
from the brother and sisterhood. The one for all and all for one
means less daily in our “hooray for me and screw you society.”
There’s a bit of “do good” in everyone, but many
motorcycle clubs and organizations are becoming weary of being fund
raisers for everyone who finds themselves in less than fortunate
situation. (Many better off than those they seek assistance from.)
FACT: In this time of change
there is a real need and attraction for something new and different.
C.O.B.B. is not a Motorcycle Club, nor have any intention of
becoming one.
FACT: We are merely a Society
of imperfect people who do 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.
End of story. There is no way one could or want, by my way of thinking,
probate for such a Society.
Our mission is purely social:
Our goals are selfish, simple and non-profit directed to provide
Cobbraderie, fun and experience for members of our Society. All
fund raising and activities are directed to this principle.
As a group we may elect to participate in a support faction of
other motorcycle clubs and organizations in their charity events,
but refrain from hosting such activities ourselves.
We are neutral and have no affiliation with any organizations and
are friends to all no matter what their affiliation. (See
the COBB GOLDEN RULE).
As a COBB Society Chapter we will conduct our meetings and activities
in a business like manner. Our rules for members are simple.
- Show up when you can.
- Arrive prepared to have a fun time.
- Wear your best smile when you arrive,
and take two home when you leave.
- Don’t discuss COBB business in public.
- If you have to bitch and moan, do it in
a cordial manner suggesting a constructive solution.
- Remember your 6 P’s: Prior
Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
- Remember the COBB GOLDEN
RULE and conduct yourself accordingly.
Blatantly stolen from COBB Chapter
One.
