I talked to the promoter of the Freedom Rally and they said we could wear our colors. That solves that problem, dont it.

First I'd like to say GREAT JOB Biker Up Magazine! I'm so impressed with the growth of the magazine, in readership AND content! You are a true friend to the biker community, and as such, have a responsibility to promote ALL sponsors, regardless of your personal opinion. The issue of whether an event is color-friendly is entirely up to the promoters, and any concerns should be addressed to them. ( I personally agree with you both that a "no colors" policy is bad news.) I understand Rooster's frustration, as well. Perhaps he could write a piece on the subject for the magazine... maybe a reader's poll??? In the right tone, it could be used as a persuasive agrument to promoters everywhere. jmho. ;) In any case, thanks Ruth and company for all your hard work- you are the BEST!!!

Rooster, My personel feelings doesn"t pay for the printing and distribution of the magazine. I very much agree with the article about discrimination but thats my personal feelings. Promoters have a right to make their own rules concerning their events. If you don"t like them, don't go to their events. Its their loss because there are alot of bikers that wear colors. I, always advise them not to have a no colors rule but thats their decision not mine. Even though I don't agree with them, I can't discriminate against them and not run their ads because they choose to have this rule. The only time I will not allow an ad to run is if there is profanity, nudity or slander to someone else. BikerUp Magazine is a magazine for ALL bikers. You should contact the rally promoters that post no colors and let them know your feelings towards their rules.
