Think of Alex Trebek, host of the TV game show 'Jeopardy!', as he reads the following answer: "The B.O.B. Sisters - aka the Battery Operated Boyfriends." And the question is: "What's the BIG deal??!!"
You see, locally there's another group that also call themselves the B.O.B.s - but their acronym stands for something else and NOT Battery Operated Boyfriends. And we, the B.O.B. Sisters are ok with that, but apparently they are not. It seems that they're upset over the fact that our B.O.B. group has started a Facebook page and this blog.
Why would they be upset? What could the big deal be all about? Honestly, I don't know. As we say both on this blog and our Facebook page, we're not the 'other' B.O.B.s!! They only thing I can think of is that they may be a bit jealous.... We started our group first and we were born out of the Road Sisters (from Ohio); we're a very select group in that you MUST BE invited to ride with us and if you survive the ride, you'll be inducted into the group. The only whining allowed is in a glass of wine and the only drama allowed is what we see on TV, the movie screen or up on the theater stage.
Perhaps they're mad at the fact that we occupied the name 'B.O.B. Sisters', even though we're different from them. Perhaps that we exist at all is what disturbs them.... They might be the kind of controlling women as I talked about in my last blog: The Good, The Bad and The Women. Well, IF that is the case, then in my opinion they are not true biker women!!
We the B.O.B. Sisters (Battery Operated Boyfriends) know that it's a wide open road out there, big enough for everyone. We don't wish to crowd nor do we wish to be crowded! We embrace the life on the road riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, ready to experience whatever comes our way!!
Our lives are very similar to the Steve Winwood song, Roll With It:
When life is too much, roll with it baby.
Don't stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby.
Hard times knocking at your door, I'll tell them you ain't there no more.
Get on through it, roll with it baby.
Luck will come and then slip away, you've gotta move, bring it back to stay.
Now that's a way of life our B.O.B. Sisters can ride with!!! That's the kind of life WE wish to 'occupy'!!!

I believe you are giving too much importance to this non-issue. I would rather this be completely ignored. ....#1.Do not argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.....#2.Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go. and #3.You’re never too old to learn something stupid.

I agree with Irish all the way..The Road is long and wide, plenty of room for everyone. No need to start Drama over a patch on your back or a name you use. Let's just all get along, crack a beer, tell a road story and share a smile. Stop all the B.S. and ride, last i checked the reason we ride is for freedom and Brotherhood..Or sisterhood in this case. Let's try and keep it that way...!

1st off I would like to address the name you so called ladies have given yourselves I think you should be ashamed! And to actually let everyone know what it stands for is even more degrading. You ladies must be quite hard up and undesirable to men.
ReplyDeleteNow that I have that out of the way I would like to address your attack on the other B.O.B.’s that you are attempting. This group of women has done so much for their community and I for one am proud of them all. What have you done? Besides show your ignorance! I think if you are as desperate as you seem you may want to just stay out of the motorcycle community because we don’t need your type around.
I know who some of you are and I am very disappointed in all of you! I think you should keep your comments on the motorcycle community to yourselves we don’t want to hear them! I could arrange for a lot of people to see what you are writing but that wouldn’t do anyone any good, so my advice is that you should think before speak or write about things you obviously know nothing about. You may call yourselves bikers but you are missing the mark it’s about respect which you have none of!
Hahaha- as I said, case in point thanks to the 2nd person who made the anonymous post, it's all their drama!! I love how they don't wanna hear about it, yet they read it & took the time to write a hateful comment. I only approved it to show we're not afraid & you're the only one who should be ashamed!!!!
