The most important thing in life is your children , later in life you end up with grandchildren , Its the best feeling you can have !! I live in Sonoma ...born in the 415 .
An old timer said to my one time , He asked me if I asked for permission to do something ,and I replied no ! He laughed and said he'd rather beg for forgiveness, rather than ask for permission
Much to respect to Rob for being one of the few people I’ve heard who are man enough to accept responsibility/blame for things rather than blame everything and everyone else ( in relation to his first 2 kids ) 👏👏😎👍
I recently laid my patch down after 30 years. I am not going to mention any of the clubs I was in. I was not in the one he was talking about. I basically grew up just like he mentioned. Frankly I should have done it a lot sooner. It got to be where there was absolutely no benefit compared to the risk involved. I always dreamed of the clubs could live in peace and just let each other ride but unfortunately that will never be the case. Now that I ride slick back I wonder why I ever joined a club in the first place. I have nothing bad to say about any particular club but as they say life is too short.
I try to say it like it is I respect so many people in so many clubs and a lot of them were not on my side but I respected their name and their mc which is the way it should be ...
You damn right Rob! Certain people can do certain things and the others don’t! There were cliques in the clubs I was in - a clique of longtime members who could do anything. If you got in the bag with one of them, you were gonna get out in bad standings. 😡🤬
I was a 1%er for 8 years. I had all the “brotherhood” I could stand! I had to wait until I raised my son, he finished high school at 16, as a single dad, before I could join a 1% club.
I saw that clip of that idiot cop saying the line about “he didn’t want a hells angel to die with the other clubs trash in his body”. I was like “yea…I don’t need to talk to talk to any club members to know he was trying to save his friend’s life…”
Hope all is well Rick please don't put the foot on the break you need to put the foot on the gas you've worked to hard for this channel and your brand and yes your getting good views still but these people on TH-cam have short attention spans you need to be in there face as much as possible it's just how the younger generations consume content so please don't stop brother just keep grinding 💯
That's because if you operate with integrity and honor then you become open to being victimized one way or another to the individuals who operate without a moral compass!
Sir. Your advice is rock solid. I'm not a gang member nor a criminal, your experience and wisdom of time in the shit show as you call it is sombre. But your quote always do better than how your parents raised you. Made me realise one thing. Your spot on. I'm tough on myself, a little tough on my kids, in the right way of course not physically or mentally abusive. But listening to you made me appreciate they are doing better at their age than I was doing. And I have a great job well paying albeit co parenting with their mother who is amazing. But thankyou. Really I admire your courage and transparency to talk about your experiences. Thankyou again sir. Hi from Western Australia mate!
The HA got to stop doing stupid shit in public they're wreaking their chapters. The Vegas chapter is in big trouble and now 17 members and associates in San Diego have been charged with a hate crime and one of the senior members attempted murder.
i also got tired of the shit show in the late 70's merced chapter. i lost everything had to start from scratch i wish to gawd i had never joined, lost my job lost my home. all because of the shit show and did anyone help? fuck no. hey brother way it goes man you need to go to holly wood right later and everyone i knew is either dead or in prison you really have no friends, all just people you are aquainted with. and way to many politics
Wise man told me one time if you cant count your friends on more then one hand then your doing something wrong in life and i feel that to be so true ... were lucky if we have one maybe two people we can call anytime day or night and they will help u or talk to you no matter right or wrong
Never been in a club, been a harley mechanic fr over 30 years, and have had a lot of friends in clubs, and it's all good when it's all good, and when it goes bad, say goodbye to "brotherhood" your on your own. I've seen guys take a hit for the club, and then they dont even get bail money. It's a hard leason being a patch holder.
Let him talk bro. He was in the club. He has more knowledge about the life. Let him speak bro. It’ll be a better interview you can see and hear he has a lot to say to what he’s saying but you keep interrupting. Respectfully
I wish I can get my father to make a podcast and tell some stories and give some advice, but he’s still a gangster and won’t give it up at age 65. So maybe one day
The charter I was prospecting with is a shit show. I’m glad I walked away. The definition of “out bad” has changed. The sensitive generation now. You hurt their feelings and you’re out bad.
Good move. I almost joined a diamond club. For some reason or another I never pulled the trigger on it. Money was always an issue. Come to find out mynsponsor steppes away from the club and told me I was lucky I never joined. He was a chapter president. Solo solo is the way to be. Hell I'd even join BACA before I ever consider 1%er life again
Don't know if he's in here reading? Rob, your so damn spot on, I don't know where to start... Remember, you needed to live in the CLUB HOUSE for 6 months or longer... Because that's what it was for? That number one enemy was cops, not another club. Profound respect, great pics. You were there the day you guys handed out flying lessons on a run in Donnie's driveway? You guys probably laughed balls about me for 30 years! I'll try to reach out, other ways. Looked for you guys for 30yrs . George is damn genius.... My honest impression is he was forced to do what was right for him. Glad you guys are doing well.
George (you know him million x better), has strict degree of sentimentalism about him, but it's not to be tested!!! I can look a man in the eye once and know everything about him. Donnie was no joke either. So much love and respect for you guys. You're welcome guest in my house any day.
I always wanted to commit to the outlaw life. But looking at the way shit is these days in Australia, like y’all are saying about, it’s like club members are being traded to other clubs like cards is 100% true and has got me and probably a lot of other old school thinkers thinking fuck this shit, where’s the fukn loyalty and where’s the brotherhood gone??? Members killing members from their own clubs over absolute stupid shit. Times really have changed in this fukd up world😤 it’s not about getting on the bike and going bush and partying with the boys and having a laugh and a good time. It’s all about money, power, territory, big ego’s, steroids and poofy gay designer clothing…. Greed…..it’s really not worth it.
In Australia they change patches jumping from club to club but in New Zealand where i live its not the norm. You will see bigger clubs patch over small clubs like what happens in the US but thats as far as it goes. You dont see the New Zealand HA patching over to other clubs
That was dope. Classic historical sh¡t right here. Thanks for your time & input gentleman. _for real-for real though_ so many groups need to adopt an exit strategy/retirement plan and make light duty available for their older members and guys in compromised positions. That's crazy bro because *I Luv my OG's.* I cant imagine where most of us would be, without the knowledge & experience from the legends that came before us.
Every man can make his Own decisions ... if your single 21 and have a bike and ride like there's no tomorrow fuck yeah get it but remember the club suffers no fools ..
If youre not going to prospect or join a club, why "hang around" and get involved in the shit? You can go do all the riding you want and hang out with whoever you want and not have to deal with any of the BS..
It's definitely not for everyone , sometimes it's better to just be an associate or a supporter and have a good time , it's a very fine line tho so tread careful if you come around and like what you see then jump in both feet , if not just stay independent and free man ...
And the first one trying to smug you up , steal your girl when ur locked up , and your stuff ... best advice stay off that stress box and never give your girl your release date .. surprise parties are best when you throw it yourself 😉
lol I love how this guy just completely ignores the interviewer lmao. You can tell the HA homeboy doesn’t respect him lol. Interviewer sounds like a fuckin geek lmao
Amazing how spot on Rob is, even more amazing how fighting amongst the members is destroying the whole thing as he says!!!! 110% on the spot, gift of gab is the winner. Even when lying, stealing, and snitching or whining the gift of gab prevailed and watching this it has prevailed everywhere!! WTF?
True man very true , but being young and dumb and feeling bullet proof I went straight to the top like everything else in life i wanted more and faster and stronger , with age I found peace , shit started making sense and I started to slow down and look at the scenery and realized I missed the best things in life and I now spend my time enjoying my freedom and family !! Best choice made ever ‼️
Clubs have changed so much , I was in a diamond club 79-89. Those were the best of times. When clubs structured themselves like La cosa nostra, well they are not a club anymore, and the infighting begins. You got young members who have had no direction except to operate an Xbox. They haven’t had enough real life experience.
Personally I think that gang life is far more likely to ruin you as a human being than build you up. It just doesn't result in a respectable man when a man throws caution to the wind for the sake of "freedom" only to wake up one day, old and tired with a whole lifetime of regrets to look back on only to realise now, with all that baggage it's too late to truly live a "good life" in the future. When I see motorcycle gangs with their jackets covered with patches and eyes full of grim determination, I do not see respectable human beings, I just see a bunch of potentially violent people who are to be feared, not respected,... just feared. Remember, fear is not respect. Fear breeds resentment. Resentment breeds hate. And it is really hard to respect someone you hate. And if hate is all you have, and brotherly love is merely a metaphor for being a gang member that just follows the rules until of course a rule gets broken, which results in getting kicked out, shunned, hated and despised by your former fellows,... honestly what is the point? When even the man who is supposed to be the leader realizes, "I really shouldn't be doing this anymore, probably never should've been doing this from the start.", decides to leave that life behind because he realised, a bit too late, that the one thing that should've mattered is the one thing he neglected the most. Family. When I was younger I used to think the Hell's Angels were cool. A group of guys who just enjoyed the freedom of the open road, not being tied down with the daily grind of 9 to 5 life supporting a family. Looking back at the naive adulation of that sort of "freedom" I realize it's not "freedom" at all. It's a life wasted trying to maintain an image, a persona that really only ends with you being a tired old man,... living by himself,... possibly spending the rest of his life regretting. That is not an end I'd want to look foward to.
I can give a view on why it's changed from a Australian prospective, you have guys joining to clubs because of the connections to further their organized crime careers they dont really care about mc culture, they have the cash and they get all the power,and then more of then of their minions get sponsored to join so they end up become the majority of the club,they even get into serous business with guys doing the same thing in other clubs who are swore enemy's and say fuck the real mc guys they get in the way off making cash and doing business and im talking serious business off importing 100 milions and when things go wrong the shooting starts and the police then say it's the outlaw clubs at war and all mc guys get the heat From the police when really it's just fighting over the international drug market when in reality it has nothing to do with mc business
It's not so much the drug market in the u.s , but more of just the connections and popularity contests ... Don't get me wrong there are some chasing dreams of grandeur from the drug game but it's is very short lived ...
@@repoRod Go ahead continue to beat your chest and hate on a past. Maybe I'm wrong or just a hunch, but It looks like your still hateful. Let go be free from what Is tormenting you. Your battles are won when you choose to let those memories stop running in your head with dirty lil feet. Life is so much more enjoyable living in today...... you were a gang member too?
His truth makes me sad. Brotherhood, family, blah, blah, blah... You got in to run with a pack... Because you like company, not security. Wish animal was still here, and I only met him once .
Right a brother in the bhc cause I guarantee the stupid cards with each other's signatures is not uplifting it's lazy and believe me your outta sight and you'll be outta mind til you get out and act like they missed you hug you and cant even remember your name ...it is a jk
As someone who was on the other side in a red and white state, we used to laugh because you would NEVER see an angels patch unless they were in a group at least 5 or more. Them dudes outnumbered us 10 to one, but we were the only ones flying by ourselves. They would hide in the house and send support clubs out to hold it down. Not saying everywhere was like that because in the state next to us, the angels had some legit killers, but once the standard starts dropping in places it leads to you're enemy growing. A lot of the big 5 clubs are having all their areas invaded because coward politicians kicked the gangsters out to avoid Rico and just wanted to love off the name. Thats well and good until you tested, now bandidos are getting rolled in Texas, outlaws are being attacked in Florida and Chicago, and angels are getting blasted in the Carolinas and California,and the sons lost colorado years ago.They better all Barry the hatchet and unite or these new up and coming clubs, and the mongol pagan alliance, are going to shut them down.thats no disrespect I want the old clubs to survive, im just keeping it real as someone who left a big 5 club myself because of dumb politics
It goes in circles and numbers go up and down and its all for nothing when you cant even go out and ride cause you either get shot off the bike pulled over and catch a case and go to prison
I remember only a few years ago three HA were killed by the Mongols in a few months in three seperate incidents and there was no comeback from the HA. It's understandable from one perspective they don't want the heat from law enforcement but on the other side not doing anything it sends the Mongols the message they can get away with it so the attacks increase.
The Angels are hands down the biggest and baddest MC in the world and all you shit talkers are a bunch of FAKE asses that don’t know Shit.!!! Run your 🤬 mouth on here on a fucking keyboard.!!!! They didn’t retaliate.??? How the fuck do you know that .???? You don’t know shit bunch of keyboard warriors that wish they could sniff a 1%ers vest.!!! SYL 81 SYL 184
mongols are being promoted by the feds to expand while real clubs not started by rats are being policed out of existance. mongols are protected as a cia or fbi chess peace to weaken the old clubs. mongols have had more inforants as leaders than any group you could name and half of them dont habe bikesand got recruited after telling on an esse gang or skinhead prison gang. they are trash and they knowinly recruit non bikers to do their dirt.
People warned me, full patch members warned me that these people will turn on you in a heartbeat. I found what Rob said to be true. I can do a lot more without the club. I met a lot of good dudes but there’s so many snakes.
Great conversation! I’m not in a club or anything but I follow some news and people… I’m from Europe, Norway. What do you think about everything going on trying to ban clubs/gangs, especially in Denmark and Norway? Bandidos, HA, and the Outlaws etc. I don’t know, but I think if it’s possible, I think Norway or something is probably the country to actually make it happen. But just my opinion.
Yeah I've been watching that happen for years ... They have done this in Germany and we're gonna do it Netherlands as well but I wouldn't be surprised if they get banned and have to go underground
And David o was a very smart man and he had a lot of way up in rank friends brothers on the club and he told skeeter when he got pit of prison to wait till David o passed away before they did what ever they were gonna do to George ... he didn't want to know he wanted to die with a clear conscious know George did it to himself and had no one to blame but himself and his greed !!
To be fair to the argument, it was common knowledge 30 years ago in the East Bay, “Three HA’s can keep a secret if two are dead.” You SHOULD know what you are REALLY getting yourself into and it AIN’T Sons of Malarkey.
Three row out .. One rows in .... 4 out of 5 dentists recommend supporting your local 81 .. Felony in progress ... these are all just fancy catch phrases used to sell support shirts and promote a reputation that has long since passed ...
Rob I believe any of us that put our Brothers ahead of Ol Ladies and their kids feels much the same way as you. But if I could go back I don’t think that would change much, because we knew what we signed up for when we started down that road. Brothers before mothers before others, us against them and if you ain’t us, your them. It is what it is.
I didn't have any kids when I started and I didn't plan on having kids but when it happens I have a new responsibility moral obligation and it's the right thing to do when it registered my head, I was coming to the realization I could not give the same commitment to my club I caught a case went to prison and they were out of my life for more like the better part of five years and being separated from there mom all that time it just wasn't gonna work so it went to separating court battles and child support and still looking at more time for getting off parole and jumping back into the club both feet so yeah I new way happened but it's not the way i eas headed till I just had that moment of clarity and realized I want to raise my kids not some one I never met while I'm in prison and decided to do better be a father and hear my son's call me dad instead of some body who has a different last name ... I made them I wanted to be in there lives free to see them in sports and school and becoming their own man and that what is wrong nowadays you have kids trying to raise men ... I'm the man raising me lil men to be respectful men that contribute to society positively ...
@@robertsmith1030 well said. I wish I had “grown up for my kids while I was younger. I left the raising kids to their Mothers while I ran amok. I’m paying for it in my elder years. I raised complete strangers
Has this guy been to New Zealand and been involved in the OMC scene, because what he says is uninformed and incorrect. New Zealand is a small place, individuals jumping from patch to patch is not the norm here, there are exceptions but these are unusual.
Unfortunately no I could never go on the account I am listed as a domestic terrorist , but there's a very fluid line of communication in the club life and tho it may be not normal it does happen there 🤷 ori wouldn't have said it , yes it's more prevalent in Australia ..
Tucson az just got took I watched two big 5 clubs just moved in ,T shirts say Tucson takeover and HA did nothing ,locals were shocked and men get old,What it comes down to n shit gets old
Yeah Tuscon has never really had a strong charter there and actually have been infiltrated a couple times because of that ... I can say this wierd fucking shit Gordon in that desert man smh maybe it's the heat or the water or both but it's not for me ... ‼️

Very good content, man! It doesn’t look like you recommend even prospecting for 81 anymore. Would you even recommend the “Hang Around” phase??
Every man can make his Own decisions ... if your single 21 and have a bike and ride like there's no tomorrow fuck yeah get it but remember the club suffers no fools ..
If youre not going to prospect or join a club, why "hang around" and get involved in the shit? You can go do all the riding you want and hang out with whoever you want and not have to deal with any of the BS..
It's definitely not for everyone , sometimes it's better to just be an associate or a supporter and have a good time , it's a very fine line tho so tread careful if you come around and like what you see then jump in both feet , if not just stay independent and free man ...
Your closest friend will always be your greatest enemy!
And the first one trying to smug you up , steal your girl when ur locked up , and your stuff ... best advice stay off that stress box and never give your girl your release date .. surprise parties are best when you throw it yourself 😉
Solid video dude glad to see you back
George said he didnt know his as Ventura Rob but Rob Smith and also said he has paperwork that this guy flipped?
Lol ok well where is it
Dude, Not back in, yet, never back’n out.
Top Job Jim Bob…✨👍✨
A Club of Ex-Staunch crew is on the brew
Gangs beware, So long, you don’t belong.
Good cast rick
Rob is a good Dude.
Ty I appreciate you thanks for watching
Good job man
Thank you
lol I love how this guy just completely ignores the interviewer lmao. You can tell the HA homeboy doesn’t respect him lol. Interviewer sounds like a fuckin geek lmao
Amazing how spot on Rob is, even more amazing how fighting amongst the members is destroying the whole thing as he says!!!! 110% on the spot, gift of gab is the winner. Even when lying, stealing, and snitching or whining the gift of gab prevailed and watching this it has prevailed everywhere!! WTF?
Congratulations on being free from the club burden. 99% clubs having more fun now than the 1%ers.
Yessir!!
True man very true , but being young and dumb and feeling bullet proof I went straight to the top like everything else in life i wanted more and faster and stronger , with age I found peace , shit started making sense and I started to slow down and look at the scenery and realized I missed the best things in life and I now spend my time enjoying my freedom and family !! Best choice made ever ‼️
Real shit. Rob's a good dude.
Ty you I appreciate you 🙏
Clubs have changed so much , I was in a diamond club 79-89. Those were the best of times. When clubs structured themselves like La cosa nostra, well they are not a club anymore, and the infighting begins. You got young members who have had no direction except to operate an Xbox. They haven’t had enough real life experience.
Think like there living in a game like GTA !! 🤦
The long awaited return of the goat hope all is well brother
Personally I think that gang life is far more likely to ruin you as a human being than build you up. It just doesn't result in a respectable man when a man throws caution to the wind for the sake of "freedom" only to wake up one day, old and tired with a whole lifetime of regrets to look back on only to realise now, with all that baggage it's too late to truly live a "good life" in the future.
When I see motorcycle gangs with their jackets covered with patches and eyes full of grim determination, I do not see respectable human beings, I just see a bunch of potentially violent people who are to be feared, not respected,... just feared. Remember, fear is not respect. Fear breeds resentment. Resentment breeds hate. And it is really hard to respect someone you hate. And if hate is all you have, and brotherly love is merely a metaphor for being a gang member that just follows the rules until of course a rule gets broken, which results in getting kicked out, shunned, hated and despised by your former fellows,... honestly what is the point? When even the man who is supposed to be the leader realizes, "I really shouldn't be doing this anymore, probably never should've been doing this from the start.", decides to leave that life behind because he realised, a bit too late, that the one thing that should've mattered is the one thing he neglected the most. Family.
When I was younger I used to think the Hell's Angels were cool. A group of guys who just enjoyed the freedom of the open road, not being tied down with the daily grind of 9 to 5 life supporting a family. Looking back at the naive adulation of that sort of "freedom" I realize it's not "freedom" at all. It's a life wasted trying to maintain an image, a persona that really only ends with you being a tired old man,... living by himself,... possibly spending the rest of his life regretting. That is not an end I'd want to look foward to.
Rick what a really feel good interview of Rob...
I can give a view on why it's changed from a Australian prospective, you have guys joining to clubs because of the connections to further their organized crime careers they dont really care about mc culture, they have the cash and they get all the power,and then more of then of their minions get sponsored to join so they end up become the majority of the club,they even get into serous business with guys doing the same thing in other clubs who are swore enemy's and say fuck the real mc guys they get in the way off making cash and doing business and im talking serious business off importing 100 milions and when things go wrong the shooting starts and the police then say it's the outlaw clubs at war and all mc guys get the heat From the police when really it's just fighting over the international drug market when in reality it has nothing to do with mc business
It's not so much the drug market in the u.s , but more of just the connections and popularity contests ... Don't get me wrong there are some chasing dreams of grandeur from the drug game but it's is very short lived ...
Exactly that's what we did fuck each other up over bs!!!
@reporod........ you sound a lil hateful.......
Research Narcissism.
@I.E.Berdoo hateful no but I still lay it down straight & truthful unlike many I stood next to.
@@repoRod Go ahead continue to beat your chest and hate on a past. Maybe I'm wrong or just a hunch, but It looks like your still hateful. Let go be free from what Is tormenting you. Your battles are won when you choose to let those memories stop running in your head with dirty lil feet. Life is so much more enjoyable living in today...... you were a gang member too?
@@I.E.Berdoo I was a member yes
Nailed it about Australian scene.
It's definitely fucking real tangy 😁!! Ty I appreciate you 🙏
“Don’t join a gang Kids” damn, ya coulda told me that about fifty years ago!😂😂😂
I know same thing here ... but still need to say it even if the youngster doesn't get it ..
Yesssss your back brother hope all is good man love these interviews
His truth makes me sad. Brotherhood, family, blah, blah, blah...
You got in to run with a pack... Because you like company, not security.
Wish animal was still here, and I only met him once .
That dude was a true warrior. Wasn't his size, but his heart.
Rob, post that shit on Jay... screw em back!
Rob tells truth!
Great interview , respect to you both, HA definitely changing , respect from Cymru UK
Much appreciated and ty for taking the.time to watch the content and commenting 💯👀💪
Outstanding interview as usual man..Fascinating stuff. 👍
Big Rob is the fuckin man.. took me to Sonoma club house when i was 17 and partied all night 2008-2010 era🤘🏼🤘🏼
Remember the BHC and say a prayer for the holidays for them brothers.

Ty very much I appreciate you 🙏
20yrs in a 1% MC, from experience Rob is exactly right. F T
Ty john I appreciate you !!
As someone who was on the other side in a red and white state, we used to laugh because you would NEVER see an angels patch unless they were in a group at least 5 or more. Them dudes outnumbered us 10 to one, but we were the only ones flying by ourselves. They would hide in the house and send support clubs out to hold it down. Not saying everywhere was like that because in the state next to us, the angels had some legit killers, but once the standard starts dropping in places it leads to you're enemy growing. A lot of the big 5 clubs are having all their areas invaded because coward politicians kicked the gangsters out to avoid Rico and just wanted to love off the name. Thats well and good until you tested, now bandidos are getting rolled in Texas, outlaws are being attacked in Florida and Chicago, and angels are getting blasted in the Carolinas and California,and the sons lost colorado years ago.They better all Barry the hatchet and unite or these new up and coming clubs, and the mongol pagan alliance, are going to shut them down.thats no disrespect I want the old clubs to survive, im just keeping it real as someone who left a big 5 club myself because of dumb politics
Fucking auto correct, youtube won't let me edit but you guys know what I meant lol
It goes in circles and numbers go up and down and its all for nothing when you cant even go out and ride cause you either get shot off the bike pulled over and catch a case and go to prison
I remember only a few years ago three HA were killed by the Mongols in a few months in three seperate incidents and there was no comeback from the HA.
It's understandable from one perspective they don't want the heat from law enforcement but on the other side not doing anything it sends the Mongols the message they can get away with it so the attacks increase.
The Angels are hands down the biggest and baddest MC in the world and all you shit talkers are a bunch of FAKE asses that don’t know Shit.!!!
Run your 🤬 mouth on here on a fucking keyboard.!!!! They didn’t retaliate.??? How the fuck do you know that .???? You don’t know shit bunch of keyboard warriors that wish they could sniff a 1%ers vest.!!!
SYL 81
SYL 184
mongols are being promoted by the feds to expand while real clubs not started by rats are being policed out of existance. mongols are protected as a cia or fbi chess peace to weaken the old clubs. mongols have had more inforants as leaders than any group you could name and half of them dont habe bikesand got recruited after telling on an esse gang or skinhead prison gang. they are trash and they knowinly recruit non bikers to do their dirt.
Tang!! Shit myself hearing a Tang on here lol
Lol I love that shit its just a "TANG" thing 🤷 .. thanks for wat hing I appreciate u
People warned me, full patch members warned me that these people will turn on you in a heartbeat. I found what Rob said to be true. I can do a lot more without the club. I met a lot of good dudes but there’s so many snakes.
Ty I appreciate you watching 🙏
I no a guy was in the HA within a year, from hang round to full pach, it’s a numbers game now
This was really great. Him and George are legends
If you really knew scumbag Christie you wouldn't even say his name I leave it at that
Head on a swivel. Never get comfortable. Club life should be uncomfortable.
Great interview. Rick how do ppl get ahold of PeeWee's book?
Ya. Where is the book? I got a few nickels and quarters saved. I’ll gladly drop em for some fine print.
Never drop a dime tho…
Good to see your still around Rick hope the hell things are getting better for ya
Great conversation! I’m not in a club or anything but I follow some news and people… I’m from Europe, Norway. What do you think about everything going on trying to ban clubs/gangs, especially in Denmark and Norway? Bandidos, HA, and the Outlaws etc.
I don’t know, but I think if it’s possible, I think Norway or something is probably the country to actually make it happen. But just my opinion.
Yeah I've been watching that happen for years ... They have done this in Germany and we're gonna do it Netherlands as well but I wouldn't be surprised if they get banned and have to go underground
What video is he talking about that’s on TH-cam ??
th-cam.com/video/tzf1XEwnSiU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rKnw3NCbB-SLkBoM
I feel like I'm watching Oprah
Yep .. 🤷 but here you are watching and commenting ....
Respect.
I have no opinion on this, but I'm going to share it...
I have to assume it was George that David Ortega was arguing with.
And David o was a very smart man and he had a lot of way up in rank friends brothers on the club and he told skeeter when he got pit of prison to wait till David o passed away before they did what ever they were gonna do to George ... he didn't want to know he wanted to die with a clear conscious know George did it to himself and had no one to blame but himself and his greed !!
To be fair to the argument, it was common knowledge 30 years ago in the East Bay, “Three HA’s can keep a secret if two are dead.” You SHOULD know what you are REALLY getting yourself into and it AIN’T Sons of Malarkey.
Three row out ..
One rows in ....
4 out of 5 dentists recommend supporting your local 81 ..
Felony in progress ... these are all just fancy catch phrases used to sell support shirts and promote a reputation that has long since passed ...
I could have sworn there was more of what happened to that Nomad situation...
Of course there was .. and maybe someday I'll lay it out ..
Rob I believe any of us that put our Brothers ahead of Ol Ladies and their kids feels much the same way as you. But if I could go back I don’t think that would change much, because we knew what we signed up for when we started down that road. Brothers before mothers before others, us against them and if you ain’t us, your them. It is what it is.
I didn't have any kids when I started and I didn't plan on having kids but when it happens I have a new responsibility moral obligation and it's the right thing to do when it registered my head, I was coming to the realization I could not give the same commitment to my club I caught a case went to prison and they were out of my life for more like the better part of five years and being separated from there mom all that time it just wasn't gonna work so it went to separating court battles and child support and still looking at more time for getting off parole and jumping back into the club both feet so yeah I new way happened but it's not the way i eas headed till I just had that moment of clarity and realized I want to raise my kids not some one I never met while I'm in prison and decided to do better be a father and hear my son's call me dad instead of some body who has a different last name ... I made them I wanted to be in there lives free to see them in sports and school and becoming their own man and that what is wrong nowadays you have kids trying to raise men ... I'm the man raising me lil men to be respectful men that contribute to society positively ...
@@robertsmith1030I feel ya man.
@@robertsmith1030 well said. I wish I had “grown up for my kids while I was younger. I left the raising kids to their Mothers while I ran amok. I’m paying for it in my elder years. I raised complete strangers
Let the guest talk.
You don't like conversations? Just interviews?
Whattup Whattup Rick and Rob!! Shoutout from the High Desert Cali 😎
Has this guy been to New Zealand and been involved in the OMC scene, because what he says is uninformed and incorrect. New Zealand is a small place, individuals jumping from patch to patch is not the norm here, there are exceptions but these are unusual.
Unfortunately no I could never go on the account I am listed as a domestic terrorist , but there's a very fluid line of communication in the club life and tho it may be not normal it does happen there 🤷 ori wouldn't have said it , yes it's more prevalent in Australia ..
Pray 1 Hail Mary every morning and night.

Been in a club that did this excat bullshit! It employed! Rob I'd give my life to be your brother! Loyalty sees loyalty!
Fuck yeah ty brother I appreciate you 🙏 !!
Sonny passed now there is a power struggle
*Blue Angels* 🍑💨
Dont get involved with no support clubs either. They will use & abuse your ass.
Tucson az just got took I watched two big 5 clubs just moved in ,T shirts say Tucson takeover and HA did nothing ,locals were shocked and men get old,What it comes down to n shit gets old
Yeah Tuscon has never really had a strong charter there and actually have been infiltrated a couple times because of that ... I can say this wierd fucking shit Gordon in that desert man smh maybe it's the heat or the water or both but it's not for me ... ‼️
This new generation of bikers are lost in so many ways Brotherhood is slipping away slowly to feelings and in house fighting
Greed , envy , no loyalty, destroys any club .
