(AP) SEAMAN, Ohio - Vice President Joe Biden was looking to cozy up with voters as he toured Ohio this weekend, but he did not imagine that an Ohio woman would nearly end up in his lap.
Biden was chatting up customers in the Cruisers Diner in southern Ohio Sunday when he met a group of motorcycle riders in black leather vests and bandanas.
A female group member was watching, and Biden waved her over, telling her, "I know who runs the show."
The woman had no place to sit, so Biden pulled a chair in front of himself and pulled her nearly into his lap. He put his hands on her shoulders and leaned in for a conversation as photographers snapped away.

Biker's? I know a few, they're just regular guy's that would love to step on RepubliCONs faces.

Really? You realize we are talking about hard-core 1%ers here. Not your weekend put on shorts, flip-flops and a full-faced helmet wannabes.
I know more than a few. Yeah, they are regular people, just like everyone else. They just choose a different lifestyle, dress and attitude.
Look carefully at the two in the picture. I can guarantee that if Biden's SS detail had not been there, the outcome would've been quite different.
BTW; when I say 1% I am refering to a statement Harley Davidson made decades ago. When the Harley riders started to show anti-social behavior, the company said that most of its riders (customers) were normal law-abiding folks. They estimated that only about 1% of the riders were the anti-socials. That is where the 1% used by bikers came from.
