Would you pass a broken down bike and offer no help? Have you gone to help a rider, like a poker run for a down rider or picked a rider up who needs help? Would you drop everything to help a rider, like a buddy who needs a trailer or a lift to the shop?
If you answered no to the first question and yes to the next two you belong to the brotherhood of bikers. As a group bikers don't care what you ride and they don't care how much you paid for your ride, the only thing that matters is that you ride.

Well said Don:s
 
I'm going to have to agree with Smitty. There's a lot of things about "Brotherhood" that a lot of people don't understand. Would I be more likely to help a down motorcyclist than a cager? You bet. That doesn't mean I'm their brother. It just means I'm a fellow rider who knows what it's like to be down on the side of the road. So, although we do share a common bond, we are not necessarily brothers.
 
I would stop and have stopped and help more than a few broke down on the side of the road. To my surprise this year it happened to be a member of a so called 1%er club. It would be clear to anyone that knows me that the only thing I share in common with that person is we breath air.
Doing so has nothing to with a brotherhood it is more of doing what is right. I have raised children and have Grandchildren now It was and is very important they know what part of riding I belong to and what parts I do not.
It is for those reasons I could not say that I share in a so called brotherhood that embraces all riders.

I have to agree with Smitty Also
 
Especially with Harley owners. Many times on the bike or in the car if someone is on the side of the road I will go out of my way to make sure they are OK. The interesting thing is my previous bike which was a metric broke down twice out on the road and the only bikes that stopped to see if they could help were Harley riders. So there is probably more of a brotherhood with the Harley folks than any other brand.
