Whether the would-be customers were right to be offended is of little importance since it behooves every business owner to insure that their signage can't be misconstrued by the clientele.
"Ensure." That would be "ensure." You're welcome friend. If you need any further instruction in the English language I will be happy to teach you. However, the next lesson will not be free.

This is a hoot!

This little place is a great little bar/hangout that has been around a while.

It meant nothing more than what it says. Motorcycle gangs fly colors....as long
as you are not flying your *color* you are welcome. If you are, then you will be politely
asked to move on. Not that it makes a difference though. LOL

The great part about this is that, whomever complained was more than likely standing at the Petro Express Station next door saw it and got pissy about it. LOL Funny!!!

That does not necessarily make it the fault of the person displaying, but if it can be seen as "provocative", whether intentionally or unintentionally, he has the right to deny access based on that possibility.

Being on a scoot wearing a color can incite/provoke behavior that the owner wouldn't want?

So would a female dressed like a hootch with her cleavage hanging out. Even more so actually, but they are allowed in.

According to the definitions at Webster's, there should have been no misunderstanding. The owner used the word 'colors' absolutely appropriately.

its very easy though to understand, if no one has ever been in a gang and perhaps doesn't get informed... Its also very easy to understand if you just don't want colors............ simple misunderstanding i would say

Gangs don't go for being "PC".

Colors means colors. Those that wear them know exactly what it means.
Others...just walk on by.
