Legend has it...
Many moons ago, a handful of attendees of a biker event known
as the "Sierra Road Riders Annual Campout" were lounging in the
late evening glow of a bonfire, sipping a communal bottle of
Cheap Wine.
"What shall we call ourselves?" the big man asked to no one in
particular,"We have been coming here for years, our group is
clearly the largest and most vocal, yet we don't have a name."
The others engaged the topic and made suggestions, ranging from
the serious to the ridiculous, all with some level of merit. The
Cheap Wine was routinely passed. All imbibed and pondered.
Suddenly a breeze swept up the canyon, clearing the smoke from
the fire.
"Of course!" the big man said, hoisting the bottle above his head
for all to see, "The answer we seek is sitting in the palm of my
hand!"
A solemn look appeared on the assembled faces.
The solution to their dilemma had become obvious! The group
realized their name should commemorate that venerable biker and
skid-row classic, Mad Dog! It had always been there to bind
them as tight as those plastic things that hold six-packs together!
"But could we adopt MAD DOG as our namesake?" the big man
thought, "Nay! That would simply confuse us with rabid canines!
Our name needs to be associated with the USE of this near-toxic
elixir!"
It was at that moment, fueled by the very substance they were
about to honor, that a chaotic band of aimless drunks became...
a chaotic band of aimless drunks with a NAME!
"We are now..." the big man declared, "The MADDOGGERS!"
Our Emblem
.20 represents our average blood alcohol content at peak party time!
It's written twice because we are usually seeing double at peak party time!
The Grapes signify that magic elixir Mad Dog, preferably the Original "Heartburn Red"!
The Motorcycle Wheel commemorates the event that brought us together: The SRRA Campout.
You might be a MadDogger if… · You show up at a motorcycle campout with fifty people and only 3 bikes. · You cringe at the notion of drinking from a bota bag… but you go for it anyway! · You gargle with peppermint schnapps in the morning. · You park your lawn chair in the river so you can drink and pee at the same time. · You moved your mother's picture so your 3rd place weenie-bite trophy can sit prominently on the mantle. · You can name at least 5 flavors of Mad Dog. · Your MadDogger tank top has a matching thong. · You have used a tortilla warmer as a vomit receptacle. · Your camp has the first voices you hear in the morning. · Your camp has the last voices you hear at night. · You invite your friends to a party so you can talk them into cooking the meal. · Your kids are pissed because you are out-drinking them. · Your Dizzy-Lizzy team almost sent half of the innocent spectators to the hospital. . You close the bar at 2, wake up on the can at 4!
· You came up with the World's Best "You might be a MadDogger" joke, but you were too drunk to remember it!
