First rule of Iraqi bikers club is: 'you do not talk about politi­cs!' BAGHDAD: Roaring along Baghdad’s highways, the “Iraq Bikers” are doing more than showing off their love of outsized motorcycles and black leather: they want their shared enthusiasm to help heal Iraq’s deep sectarian rifts. That is why the first rule of his bikers club is: you do not talk about politics. “It is absolutely prohibited to talk politics among members,” Bayati told Reuters as he sat with fellow bikers in a shisha cafe, a regular hangout for members. The Iraq Bikers – who now number 380 – are men of all ages, social classes and various faiths.
