ATTENTION FREEDOM FIGHTERS!
Many people are wondering how they can join Bikers of Lesser Tolerance (BOLT).
Here are the basics:
Yes, we would like to have more members, but we do not want members who are “pro-helmet” and we do not want members who believe that motorcycle safety is a valid reason to remove any citizens rights. RIGHTS, BY DEFINITION, ARE PERMANENT. THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE.
If you are strongly committed to that belief, then here are a few more things you need to know.
B.O.L.T. currently has chapters in Wisconsin, California, Nevada, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina. Pan, as founder has approval authority of new chapters in other states and territories. If there is no chapter in your state, you need to track down Pan. If there is already a chapter in your state, you need to track down the Director of that chapter.
If you have searched and still cannot find Pan or a chapter director, ...no problem. Please call Jan, Director of BOLT of NC at 919-342-0403, and I will put you in touch with either Pan or the Chapter Director in your state.
BOLT has no dues. We do not have meetings. We do not exist in order to swap recipes or go on charity runs. We are entirely focused on BIKER RIGHTS. Although we have excellent knowledge of motorcycle safety, and know how the government lies to us when they quote safety statistics, we are NOT motorcycle safety advocates. We are biker rights activists and freedom fighters. Althought we may promote safe riding within the motorcycling community, we are not inclined to go along with government requests to promote voluntary compliance - there is no such thing as “voluntary compliance”, and there is no such appeasing the government like that. The next step after promotion of voluntary compliance is regulation. When rights to use the public roads are threatened at the local, state, or federal level, we believe that protest actions are not just a right - they are a duty.
BOLT does not place requirements on its members. Freedom Fighters who are accepted into BOLT place these requirements upon themselves. If you have a passion for freedom and are willing to defend your rights, including doing such things as attending a Freedom Ride, or a Helmet Protest, or a protest over motorcycle access to public roads, or freedom to choose how you dress, or fight helmet tickets in court, or call government officials to make a big stink when your rights are being stomped on, you might be of a BOLT mentality, and we want to talk with you. Freedom fighting may be the most difficult thing you will ever do, especially if you get really good at it, because freedom is addictive. It’s so good, you will want more.
BOLT has some elite freedom fighters in its ranks. There are people who have studied the laws for years, and are willing to share our information with everyone who is willing to stand up for rights, freedom, and liberty. You do not have to be a genius like some of our past and present members, but you should be willing to educate yourself. You may be called radical or extreme. Freedom fighters who work the hardest are rarely thanked. Others may come along and take credit for your work, either knowingly or as an oversight. You’ll have to just brush slights like these aside and get back to working the cause. There are many motorcycle rights organizations who work really hard at figuring out how they can comply, appease, and compromise, but in the end, they usually come around to finally figuring out that the BOLT approach of loudly saying NO to government is often the only way. We respect laws which are just, and very much respect and appreciate good cops, while being wary of the few bad ones.
We LOVE our country and cherish freedom, and demand our rights as citizens, the highest office in the land!
