You submit your 1000-word application essay to a club member, ideally written in double-spaced 72pt font on $20 bills. If the member agrees to sponsor you, you fill out the meatball application on the website, attend 4 club rides, and get voted in.

There's a little more to it than that, but you won't need to worry about it until the black van with the FWMR welcoming committee shows up outside your house.

Plus you have to sign "the waiver." Have you really thought this through?

I might have to rethink it due to the pink sticker I saw on Polo's bike.

That sticker is for meatballs on 250s. It's a completely different sticker for people who list trucks in their sig lines on a motorcycle forum.

Oh that's not part of the plan. He does that voluntarily.

Just kidding. You'll totally get a pink sticker.

Polo would still probably do it voluntarily.

On the first Bike Night you are a Meatball you need to bring a decently-sized crock pot of delicious Swedish Meatballs.
