This is a really sticky subject in our world as bikers, especially black bikers. I was told by one of transexual friends to always assume that a man is on the DL (down low) when you meet him until proven other wise. What do you think about this?
(down low). I had a conversation with a biker friend of mine in California and they mentioned to me that a black female rider that belong to an all female club who just happened to be lesbian mentioned that she had seen some bikers over at a club they frequented picking up guys.
What the hell I know our environment is known for sex, drugs, alcohol and party party let’s all get wasted…you know what I mean. We tend to live by our own rules and I do think this is a topic of conversation that needs to be brought up and maybe investigated. Listen to the dialogue between these four brothers and I must admit I thought they were gay and they say they aren’t.
Rule number one don’t be so quick to judge…don’t take my choice away tell me what time it is with you. That’s all I’m sayin.
The club is sponsoring a Black History Month Essay Contest, open to all Aiken County middle school and high school student. Essays should be written on the topic of “African-American Firsts Often Overlooked By Society,” and the deadline for entries is Saturday.
“The essay contest is our way of involving the students in Black History Month, to encourage them to read, research and write,” said Free Riders Business Manager Linda Taylor-Cummings.
Prizes for the contest will include a $100 and a $50 gift card to a bookstore of the winners’ choices, and winners will read parts of their essays at the Free Riders’ Black History Month Program.
“Honoring the Past While Inspiring the Future” will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27 at Schofield Middle School and will feature local gospel choirs, soloists, speakers and praise and worship teams.
“The Black History Tribute is a mixture of gospel, that’s the music genre we chose, students, local praise and worship teams, and soloists. The speakers we have will take a critical look at African-American firsts, and promote education,” Taylor-Cummings said.
Admission to the program is $5 for adults and $2 for students, and proceeds go to the Free Riders Scholarship Fund. Scholarships will be awarded to two local high school seniors in May, according to Taylor-Cummings.
Essay contest entry forms and rules are available at Smith-Hazel Recreation Center, or those interested cane-mail “soft07baller@yahoo.com” for entry forms and rules.

The Flaming Knights Motorcycle Club started in the garage of Leroy Bolden aka
King dragon, 110 Hurlburt St. (1st Club House) in New Haven, Ct., April 27 1968.
When they first lit the first fire it was because of brotherhood, the Iron and the
Road. The 2nd Club House was on Dagget St, 3rd club House was on west st
(corner of West St. and Congress Ave), 4th was on Ella Grasso Blvd and the 5th is
at Chazmo Cafe on Dixwell Ave.
The name FLAMING KNIGHTS came from the way the fellows were promiscuous
with the ladies, so since they thought they were hot it was suggested, by their ladies,
that they call themselves FLAMING KNIGHTS.
The SCHOLEY 5 GENERATIONS:
The 1st was embroidery (Red Writing with Gold Trim) with the word FLAMING on
top and KNIGHT on bottom … MC on the right below the word KNIGHT and to the
left of MC was a english castle guard and later a knight on horse … and New
Haven was below MC and symbol.
The 2nd was a 3 piece patch with the same embroidery on yellow terry cloth red
writing.
The 3rd was a 4 piece rockers with a knight on a motorcycle as the center piece.
The 4th was a single yellow patch shape like a long-gated circle FLAMING
KNIGHTS on top … MC to the right …. a standing FLAMING KNIGHT holding a
round shield on fire with the word ROY (in memory of King Dragon) in the saddle
bag on the motorcycle in the center of the shield – in the center of the patch … the
location of the chapter at the bottom of the patch. Design by Little Dragon.
The 5th is the same as the 4th except the knight in the center was done
over/better. Commissioned by Little Dragon. Accepted by the national FLAMING
KNIGHTS MOTORCYCLE CLUB at their National Meeting in Denver, Co. 1997.
Also at this meeting the Landover, MD. chapter became the Mother Chapter and
