Kurt Mayer Quotations

We have people who will get on a motorcycle in the dead of winter and ride 350 miles to go to a funeral of a complete stranger and stand there for an hour, at attention, give a salute and go home.

Just follow our lead. They'll eventually lose steam and turn tail. You just have to turn your back on them.

We've hit upon a raw patriotic nerve in Americans searching for a way to identify with those who are supporting and defending our freedoms.

We got a nice batch early in the year, but the long-range outlook had us warmer than normal, so this shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

Turn your backs on them. Among motorcycle groups, that's the ultimate sign of disrespect. You're telling them they don't exist. They're non-entities. They don't matter.

It's all happening kind of fast. It's amazing the response we've gotten. It shows that all this has hit a raw, patriotic nerve, and we're attracting a cross-section of America -- everyone from CEOs to coal miners and aerospace engineers to corner-garage mechanics.

It looks like more of the same is ahead. We do have a little cold coming in, but all it will do is bring us back to normal temperatures.

They'll start right in, hollering all kinds of outrageous things. They're going to try and incite anyone they can. They'll tie U.S. flags to their ankles and drag them through the dust. Then when they get to the area police have set aside for them . . . they'll spit on the flags and blow their noses on them.

This is just the right thing to do. This is something America didn't do in the '70s. Whether we agree with why we're over there, these soldiers are dying to protect our freedoms.

The group is made up mostly of motorcyclists who have served in the military, but it's not a requirement.
