As a UK biker of nearly 40yrs. My experience of 1% clubs is mixed. The good ones are populated by great guys who love bikes like myself. They'll happily share a laugh & a beer with you. But there are a few that are nothing more than playground bullies. They love to throw their weight around. But they can't fight for shit unless they have 10 guys to back them up. That ain't my idea of a real man!
I'm in Berkshire and know a few 81 personally. Every single member and prospect I ever met worked or ran a business. Maintaining bikes, paying club dues, runs etc all costs money and being able to do so is part of the life. I can't speak for any MC as I'm not a member, but from what I've seen they don't actively recruit criminals or go out of their way to do gangster shit. I certainly wouldn't cross them of course, but I'm confident the general public have nothing to fear from them. I've been in and around them a few years now, been to clubhouses and been perfectly comfortable. I went once and my mates had left. No one there knew me but once I explained who I was and they verified it they were absolute gentlemen. They showed me round the clubhouse, bought me drinks, laughed and joked. Even introduced me to guys from other MCs. I've never felt at all uncomfortable or unwelcome. Now I go to most open nights and I don't even ride 😂
I don't think the latter guys you mentioned are 1 percent. There isn't any playground in the real world. Most of the bad 1 percent clubs are living some sick fantasy. Sure, a certain amount of work needs to be done. But fucking with civilians is not cool at all
The man makes the patch, but in some unfortunate cases, that same patch will make that man. It sucks and I’m sorry to hear it but honestly they may be great guys Weeding out the timid ones. My best guess.
Had a friend leave his MC after he got full custody of his daughter because he knew he wouldn't be able to to get his hours or miles in. Broke his heart to have to leave as a full member.
I heard some bikers in new york state were having a charity to help kids that would sexually abused snd one kid was being interviewed and the reporter asked if he was scared to tell his story and he goes "no cause my friends are alot scarier than him."
I grew up in South Florida, and have a lot of respect for the outlaws! My mom was a waitress at the clock restaurant and they took very good care of her. Seeing them out was just an everyday occurrence and I've seen them show a lot of kindness! I've also seen them not take no BS!
Colville Tenn. Nation Outlaws and black pistons earned their respect . Back to Barbarosa end of July for Jesse Howard (Nu Breed) . Rip Buzzy ( Atomic City)
As a 1%er for 40 years you are spot on Bro 😎 most people get the BS about MC Clubs from B movies and sons of anarchy I Don’t have a criminal record and nobody is forced to commit crimes. 100% loyalty is demanded from members and yes anyone can leave of their own free will. Thanks for keeping it real Bro Respect ✊🏻
I have yet to ever have a problem with any 1% bike MC. I myself am a disabled US Marine Combat veteran and basically an outlaw now. But anytime I have ran into 1% brothers, they have always treated me with respect, honestly I think most 1% ers treat people the way they want to be treated, and I live by that, unless someone just gets straight stupid. Also, Sose, I like the way you say keep it 1000. Ride Safe

#Ghostin in Oregon. I must say I really enjoyed this presentation. Thank you for taking the time to preview someone talking about the MC culture from the outside and not railing against them because of it. This person has done some legit research and had many intelligent things to say. Your experience in the life helped you fill in the blanks and redefine the misfires.
Have been watching you for 2+ years. Was patched in 2021 January. Just letting you know that watching your videos helped and watch them over and over. Biggest one "Be seen but not heard". Thanks!
Hey Sose my name is Tom we worked at Mohegan sun back in the day I'm glad you're doing well and I enjoy your channel, I was at Mohegan for 25 years and enjoyed working with you.
Love your videos so much they show me what to do and what not to do around a club. My dad is in a club and I grew up around the MC and I know no other life, I have thought about being in my dads club for a few years and watching your videos help me and makes me feel like I could be ready if I do want to wear my dads patches
Ghosting (the Old Man). My first encounter with mc clubs was in the early to mid 70’s. I was broken down and a warlock probably from Gloucester city or Philadelphia helped me out then gave me his clubs Card that said ( when we do good no one remembers, When we do bad no one forgets)
I've worked with 1%ers. They have jobs, family and responsibilities outside of club life. It's just the club takes a higher priority with them. It is a huge commitment that they take very seriously. I've never met one I didn't respect.
We have an unwritten rule. You can make your probate do whatever you want, but if you get caught giving them a task that you yourself would never do, you might find yourself probating right along side of them.
I am a former San Jacinto Highroller MC "Road Captain", TEXAS. Today I am an ordained minister with the Christian Motorcyclist Association. I serve the Lord, Jesus Christ in motorcycle ministry. I wear a Christian patch today, but I am still loyal to the MC code of the RED & GOLD Nation as a former Texas MC member. "SYLB".
What do you mean you “serve the Lord” but are also “still loyal to the MC code of the Red & Gold Nation” ? If there is a conflict in the code and the Word….to which are you loyal at that point ? Genuine question here.
I appreciate your work. Hope you and yours are doing good. I've always had a big interest in getting the 1% patch but dont know if I would have time to dedicate if I can't do it a hundred percent I don't want to do it at all.
I’ve been I awe of bikers since ‘65, when I was in High School, when the Saturday Post came out with an article came out about the Angels. When I went to Nam, I saved enough money to buy a ‘51 panhead when I was discharged in ‘70. I didn’t have a license, plus it was a jockey shift. By ‘72, I was in a bike club and loved it. But it was short lived time of my life. I’m still a fan of who can put in the time and dedication to be in a club.
So nice to have this channel, I'm super nice to hear your voice again by the way. But nice to have a lot of these myths cleared up and it's really good to know and reassuring that not all MC members are involved in the criminal world which is a myth..🙏🏼💪🏼👑
Your channel definitely clears up the information in a way anyone can understand. It has helped me so much during my time being around the MC world! Much respect to you🙏🏻
Very informative and interesting… Maybe if I was in my early 20’s I could possibly join a 1%er MC…. But now that I’m 40, maybe I’ll just enjoy riding my motorcycle and not having the politics of a club determine my lifestyle. Cheers to all riders out there! 🍻🏍
Much respect for this whole article and for you breaking it down. I know two 1% ers. I was raised around them my whole life and didn't even know anything about them or what they were until I was way into my thirties. I was just taught that they were the vets and just like with military vets, they get the utmost respect. This video answered my question about the FJ1100.
My local neighborhood bar has a bike night once a month and we get a good mix of independents. 1%ers and several different clubs I was lucky to have had a friend back many years ago 44 years to be exact when I bought my first Harley he took me under his wing and taught me etiquette the do's and don'ts.we remained good friends up until a couple of years ago when he passed over to the other side. A lot of people ask me how do you get invited to all the parties and special events some of which are usually club brothers and invite only and all I can say is I know my place and I show respect and clubs like people who know their place and show respect, and I have Zeick and Lynn to thank for that, RIP Lynn I miss you every day big brother thanks for showing me the ropes.
Few of my older family has deep history/ties with an MC, and this presentation helps shed light on some of it, and decreases some of the stigma and conflicted feelings= you’re greatly appreciated! Thank you..
Growing up at around 6 or 7 I was told I had a cousin named Carlito. Supposedly he was in prison. He was not. Because I was sitting outside bored, I heard a loud motorcycle coming down the road. Interested I watch for it. This big dude on a Harley comes driving up. He actually pulled straight up into the driveway and asked me if my name was …….. Yep. He was an enforcer in the Hells Angels. Lol. It was carlito. He took me fishing. Every time he rode through town he would stop by. Most 1% clubs of old have died out. Mentalities have changed with the times.
You're pretty much on the mark with most things. Back in the early days of clubs, most 1%er clubs allowed Harleys and Indians, and also bikes of our WWII allies, like Triumphs, BSAs, Nortons, etc. with a minimum 500cc motor. Marlon Brando rode a Triumph Thunderbird in "The Wild One", a movie that was based on the Hollister 'riots'. When Indiian went under in 1953, the rule became Harleys only because they alone were American made. When Victory and Indian came back on the market, they were acceptable. Regarding your mention of criminal organizations, a wise 1%er said "We're not a criminal organization, were an organization with a few criminals". The major clubs realize that crazy antics only bring more attention, especially from the feds. Being in the life since the late 60s, I prefer the old days. Clubs have gotten so big that they've lost the true brotherhood, no matter what they say today.
SOA has been a nightmare for MC's all of a sudden you got dicks joining and they're waring white trainers trying to look like fucking jacks. They love the image but aren't prepared to be it. They stand behind a bar, pick up litter, empty ashtrays, turn up on a bike when they have to for 12 months and that's it, they're in. My old club was 40 odd strong when I joined. Everyman was there for you save maybe 1 or 2 who may come up with reasonable excuses. You always get it. Now there's 300 and still only about 60 who are the real ones. Snowflakes are even invading the 1% thing. Damn shame.
@@hardlife8489 Yes my friend, I was in what was called the welsh biker wars, the things that happened, well there's no point talking about it. They wouldn't believe me anyway. Now people strut around, hope the patch will pull some women and live off yesteryear and image. I resent it really as you have a lot of steroided up, tatooed muscle Mary's who shit themselves at the first sign of trouble. If there was something to do we wouldn't even let the law stand in our way. We we're committed to each other unto death if need be. We would find a way and bide our time whatever the circumstance. Plenty of times I've thpught I can't believe I'm doing this and done it anyway, and came out OK. Now you're just seen as mad and too "warie." Everyone is full of stories, but most seem to be either made up or someone else's story. You have prospects asking "can I go home" fucking no you can't, now you're here for another day. All you get is you're too hard, you're too extreme. Sounds a compliment but it's really not. It's the ultimate slag off lol. You know I think I actually saw a guy with guy liner on!! Another saying yeah I've had bottox and all the old ones are gone or only the old softies are left, telling their fucking bullshit stories. In it's day it was a hardcore brotherhood, with old fashioned values, protected and respected women and children, raised money for veterans or any local family who needed help with a take no prisoners attitude. Now, now they're all Jax without the ability or commitment to do anything, or the balls. It was good while it lasted tho A.
@@markmarley9149 fuckin A my friend. My time was the late 70s -80s seamed as there was still some of that around. I glad I had a chance to see the real thing. I noticed the huge change in 90. Like people were buying their BIKERHOOD and calling me BROTHER. I road an old bike 61 flathead solo Bobber. Then an 86' dresser. They came out with the Even and all this fake shit happened. I was just checking out some guys fr my teen yrs. Unknown Bikers MC they were riding bicycles and had colors. Now they are a Brand and everyone's wearing a patch. I really don't think half would have even been able to hang out with the OGs.
Many years ago when I was in nursing school. I got a flat on expressway. No one would help me. Then a Chicago Outlaw pulled up and offered help and changed it fir me. I never forgot his kindness.
I remember dating a girl who's dad was a high ranking member in of one of the biggest 1% clubs in my area. He wanted to chat with me, wanted me to know if we needed anything, that his brothers would be there to help. It was peculiar as I'm not sure he could tell if I was male or female, as it was a phone call. And at that time I'm not sure he knew his daughter dated women.
#ghostin My son wants to be a police. I share your videos with him to know the community, the culture and what amazing people bikers are. I am trapped in the corporate culture and truly respect anyone that lives and rides free. God Bless you all....much respect

Anyone one I deal on 2s there's a common respect I call brother until there's not. Done it for 50 years. Maybe it's just Cali up with it. Sose I've never met you, but if your broke down on the side of the road I'm going to stop and help any way I can. I called you a brother because I respect what you do for the 2 wheel community............
Hey brother much respect. How about a vid on going on what to do and what NOT to do when visiting another club house. Patch holder vs probates. I think that would be helpful for these new guys coming into this lifestyle!
Good point. Prospect in the 1980's almost got me poisoned /arrested (goodbye government Security Clearance.) I did swallow live grass frog to top (REDACTED) story. Vietnam vets trying to one up each other.
Prospect is not a happy position, work thru crazy things and know that everyone "has been there. Baltimore Philadelphia was a crazy place in the 1980`s/ 1990's - my wife (estranged) hooked up with a Pagan. I found out that girl I was shaking with had Warlock uncle that did not like Fates Assembly. (I'm so retired me and wife did not keep in touch with anyone (I'm not allowed to meet anyone cause court. I had a stupid moment.)
@@309nmblonde I think we all had our stupid moments lol. I about got my ass beat to death when I was prospecting. We had went to the Outlaws club house and we were getting ready to leave and I thought it was ok for me to just grab the door handle and open the door. Boy was I wrong!!!!! never did that shit again.
Just like to wish all of you lads and ladies a very merry Xmas and a fantastic new year please don’t drink and ride or drive take care stay safe as always xx from London And a big thank you SIR for all you do for the biking world ✌️
I have watched a few of your videos and learned alot. Some of it I thought was true was, and some of what I thought was true was not. I think one of the best things is you actually read ALL of your comments. Most could careless. I give you mad respect for either replying or a heart to your comments sir!
I just love to absorb your content even though I don’t belong to a club or anything like that it’s just really intriguing and interesting thanks for sharing sharing is caring👍🏻
I've met heaps of bikers at party's and stuff. They are okay. A lot of them work in construction and contribute to the community. Yeah they bong on but they do a lot of other stuff. The bikers in Australia use to have a yearly toy Run for kids in hospital. Ride on dudes
I've never met a bad bikie, they are always polite and generous underneath the leathers. Too bad our politicians started targeting anyone riding the noble steed and hurt the culture in Aus.
Man I like watching your videos because you seem like a genuinely good person that knows what you’re talking about and isn’t a dickhead. I reckon any club would be happy to have you in their ranks. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and a big F off to all the idiots who mouth off on your videos.
I am a Swedish native that hates Hells Angels MC Sweden because when I was 11 years of age a group of 6 Hells Angels 1% members broke into my family apartment back in 1987 and With use of firearms threats forced me to give a bunch of high value stockmarket papper of 44 miljon Sek (Swedish Crowns) to Swedish Hells Angels 1% members and my future life was destroyed of their actions against me when i was 11 years of age. Why i tell this story on TH-cam is that Hells Angels say to people in public that they do not Hurt or harm any children that is a big huge lie because Hells Angels they do hurts or harm children so long they can live their lives as it fits them and I Will always hate Hells Angels MC sweden what they did to me and for destroying my life .
Yeah that’s sweeden, in 1969 Modesto, ca my mom broke down in the middle of Hiway with 4 kids in the ‘59 Chevy station wagon, and 5 HA’S Parked their bikes in turn lane with lights on and used that station wagon across 3 lanes of Hiway and out of harms way! they will always have my respect!over
@@michaelashby4036 I hope they did not ask any favors in return for their timed helping intervention because when Hells Angels MC takes over a area in a city they can show a friendly side to local population to be accepted but when Hells Angels MC sweden needs money for their criminal enterprise they begins to robb or steal from people in their territory named a " tax fee " for people living in their area in The suburbs of Hökkarängen south of Stockholm green Subway line back in 1987. My family tried to move away from Hökkarängen several Times to get out from Hökkarängen but like Hells Angels MC sweden say " when anybody moves in it is imposssible ( almost imposssible ) move out " because Hökkarängen is a slum or a Hood area far south of Stockholm on green line to Farsta Strand. There is still many children familys living in and outside of Hökkarängen that still suffers of all criminal Hells Angels MC sweden activities to todays date that tries to move away like my family did because of Hells Angels MC sweden " tax fees ". To me Hells Angels MC sweden is bunch of criminals that deserves to be in jail for their crimes they do for a living and leave law abident citizens or natives alone.
never realized what a fan boy i really am bout the culture. I've ride, started a club with my dead father in law, thankfully the premier clubs ignored us. promised my mom to stay off the hogs. she right, they kill bikers out here in the valley. still a fanboy, still a know it all lol! always respect.
I'm in a "dominant" and we run background checks and you have to be known as solid before you can become a hangaround. For this reason we have never been infatuated but just like every 1%er club we've had guy's flip and certain charters catch RICO's.
This question is serious but I’m sure in some way a joke: With all the shit LEAs and LEOs get into while wearing a uniform why are they and the precinct not getting jammed up on RICOs…? I know the answer but it begs the question because most of these LEOs are not getting nailed their first go-around and I’m pretty sure some, if not all, the LEOs that know that cat, know s/he are not on the up and up. I’m just saying. The saying, we’re not above the law does not hold when we (the Citizenry) see and experience this shit. Look at MC or motorcycle profiling, that is entire organization dedicated to (possibly) violating rights, but those cats (LEOs) go home to their families and the rest of us may not.
#GHOSTIN I did some looking into the whole "Hollister Riots". Most of that was over sensationalism by the San Francisco Chronicle and Life Magazine. Local press had a different story. Yeah it got a tad rowdy, yes there was a fight here and there, but it was all quickly squelched. The biggest problem that occurred, was the lack of lodging to accommodate the gathering, because the town's population doubled.
You’re exactly right skot373, many pics from that 4th of July weekend in Hollister we’re staged. The club I prospect for was at Hollister and yeah they did get rowdy and have fun but the news articles sensationalized the whole thing to instill fear in the masses. Little did they know they helped kick off the “outlaw” biker culture. OWOF SYLBFMC
Lots of truth in the list but let me break it down. 1% MC's are not criminal organizations. They are a collective of individuals who view each other as family. Hints why we call each other brother. Myself personally am one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet as long as you're respectful to me & my family. With that being said I have a question for the readers of this comment. If someone was being disrespectful or putting your family intentionally in harms way would you protect them or just stand there slacked jaw with your hands in your pockets? Personally I will support my club, my brothers, my family 116%. If that makes me a criminal than that's the risk I'm willing to take. I get everyone thinks "their club" is the best and that's how it should be. Support your Team! What I'd love to see is a mutual respect for the diamond. It takes a certain man to be willing to rock, defend, & uphold the values it represents. Imagine a world where dominate clubs find a way to coexist understanding that everyone has that 1% mentality & the same enemy. I often wonder if the FED doesn't stir the pot intentionally between clubs to keep that kind of unity from happening. They have been waging a war against the free & independent people of this country long before I was born 36yrs ago but the truth remains if men like us actually moved as 1 while respecting the diamond but supporting our own team we could have a very influential political party and/or fighting force. Food for thought. Much Love, Honor, & Respect, Throwdown 1%
Unfortunately our Government is now vetting current and former members of the military and labeling them as right wing or individuals to be watched, which includes Bikers (MCs and the like).
Had that back in the 80's in the UK when I was in the R.A.F , riding 1%, I was caught off station in my Colours by the Military Police , arrested, put in the guardhouse and my Colours seized . Took a lot of explaining and Penance with my Club Brothers to get me a replacement set of Colours . I don't know how it is in the States with MC's, but with ours when Prospecting you had your Club name bar, prospect bar and personal name bar on front, and bottom rocker 'England' on the back....then when you were finaly accepted for "Patching in" you had your top rocker, centre patch, MC and 1% diamond presented to you and you took off your prospect bar ....once stitched on you were Patched with your Club Colours.
My cousin was in a 1% club for over 30 years.. unfortunately because of physical health problems he could not ride much anymore.. wound up retiring from the club but they are still his brothers and he has their back and they have his... Unfortunately had to sell his bike but if he ever needed a loaner bike one phone call to his club and they would have a loaner bike ready for him in an hour to ride...
@@DemonsRow thank you for your condolences brother. Truly, and he wasn't a member of an MC or nothing like that, I really do appreciate that though man. Nothing but respect 🙏🏻
#GHOSTIN a member of Bandidos MC (his name escapes me) once said, maybe sarcastically or ironically, “We are 1%ers because we’re the best of the best. No one stands against us.”
I've also heard the 1% ment (from an interview with I believe an original 81 member). he said it meant that he was 1% away from not giving a fuck. 🤷♂️
Just found you channel and I’m an instant fan. When you are around 1%er’s it’s all about RESPECT! If you are an ole lady remember you represent your Man so don’t be acting up at events! Also on the integration of clubs I’d like to add some clubs allow Asians to join as well. May My Wind Brothers and Wind Sisters have safe travels, smooth roads, and your shiny side always upright. ML&R 👊🏽
A lot of these depend on the clubs and members you'll be running into. When I was interested years ago, I was told you didn't earn a 1% patch unless you served time for committing a felony. Both clubs I asked wouldn't even let you in the club if you didn't have a record. Wearing that 1% patch otherwise would get you "educated" and your patch would be forcibly removed. Also you have to earn the use of brother or bro. You can take your chances but it could get you popped in the mouth as the folks I talked to see that as disrespectful to the members that earned the right to be bros. Around here those 1% clubs with jobs and that don't do illegal stuff are not 1% clubs and are usually RCs not MCs. There are many charity clubs here labeled as MC but they don't wear a 1% patch. Most of them are RCs. Bottom line, it depends on who you run into. I can tell you though that if you wear the three piece and that 1% patch out here and can't back it up, you are asking for trouble. Just advice I received from 2 actual 1% clubs out here. I also grew up with kids whose families were in one huge 1% club. I have hung around that one huge club for years and used to frequently drink with several of another 1% club years ago. It is all about respect and knowing what questions not to ask, and when to keep your mouth shut and listen. If you come at one of these guys all "bro what's up" trying to start a conversation as a perfect stranger, you might get ignored, cussed, or told to piss off. Or you might lose some teeth. If you like to gamble be my guest. Don't say you were not warned and I hope you brought some actual bros with ya. lol
I think if you go to any group of people you do not know and say "Hey Bro" you will be considered an idiot and dealt with as such. If you "run into" a club somewhere my guess is best to just give a polite "hows it going" if the situation calls for. IOW, you do not walk up to the group to chat it up but if you are walking by each other just be polite then move on.
Hey, I grew up on the West coast of Canada in the 60's....I had friends whose older brothers rode with clubs, and grew up around guys from a few clubs...back then there were more than a dozen MC in my area....they eventually either folded their clubs or patched over to the Satans Angels...then to the Hells Angels,. a minor wrinkle at the time was the Satans Angels had an E Indian member, but as his brothers had his back, the US clubs relented on the white thing. I have had friends with patches over the years, and other friends from across the country who used t o wear a patch.....all were pretty decent stand u[ guys. Oh well, I am an old fart now....having outlived many buddies.....but still riding an old FXDL daily when the weather permits....good fucking memories though..
I was a 1% patch holder in an international club for a couple decades before I retired out. I've never even heard of such a thing among the clubs. Sounds like a good way to get RICO charges. Are we fibbing a bit here?
Serious question for you. Do you think that a person that doesn't drink, smoke or do any drugs have a place in a club? Quick run down. First bike at 7, first Harley at 15, a pos 72 Sporty. 49 years later I've had 31 bikes, 10 were Harley, like my current 07. My pops was an alcoholic, so it burnt me from drinking, never smoked or did drugs, always just wanted to ride. Rain, shine, it didn't matter. I was always the guy my friends called when they were in a jam, hey, my battery died, on my way. Hey, I'm too fucked up to drive, can you give me a ride home, me, on my way. Hey shit is about to happen, don't matter, I'm on my way. I'm loyal af to my friends, I'll bring the shovel. I've been a welder for 34 years, no one special, just always loved bikes, Harleys, Titties and Tacos. I've never thought about a club because I didn't do all the other things and didn't think I'd fit or them look at me differently. Have I been wrong over the years or not doing those things would have been a deal breaker for clubs?
I'm not in a 1% club, but I am in a support club for one. Ive decided to spend a month straight edge, to give my body a break, and I've had nothing but respect from my brothers for making that call, and I've had no pressure from any of them.
#15 the pagans MC started the 1% diamond patch but the AMA did come up with the meaning behind it. #13 the Pagan MC rode triumphs in the beginning when the club started than they started to transition to harley Davidson
I live in the UK and am not involved with any mc but the first time I ever met anyone who was was two guys with their good ladys and they were H.A and they came out to the animal shelter i was working at to make sure that we were a real charity, when they came back they were with the whole club and sorpporting clubs and they bought loads of animal food and stuff. All you here in the press is the bullshit never all the good things that Mcs do.
that's right they are not forced to watch it but to me I think they are brilliant and your doing a brilliant job trying to help normal people understand. thanks again Dave.
I feel once the Mafia started ratting on each other clubs started doing it too. It’s sad because the Mafia and Clubs are supposed to be above that your secrets die with you. You don’t repeat your life to anyone but since they started ratting on each other I feel the structure isn’t there anymore. I can’t get with the clubs because of that.. Like ya you might break a dudes jaw that’s sneaking up on me with a crowbar but then you gunna turn around and rat to the FBI that I did some shit?

As a UK biker of nearly 40yrs. My experience of 1% clubs is mixed. The good ones are populated by great guys who love bikes like myself. They'll happily share a laugh & a beer with you. But there are a few that are nothing more than playground bullies. They love to throw their weight around. But they can't fight for shit unless they have 10 guys to back them up.
That ain't my idea of a real man!
they didn’t like that you said this one OG but its FACTS
I'm in Berkshire and know a few 81 personally. Every single member and prospect I ever met worked or ran a business. Maintaining bikes, paying club dues, runs etc all costs money and being able to do so is part of the life.
I can't speak for any MC as I'm not a member, but from what I've seen they don't actively recruit criminals or go out of their way to do gangster shit. I certainly wouldn't cross them of course, but I'm confident the general public have nothing to fear from them.
I've been in and around them a few years now, been to clubhouses and been perfectly comfortable. I went once and my mates had left. No one there knew me but once I explained who I was and they verified it they were absolute gentlemen.
They showed me round the clubhouse, bought me drinks, laughed and joked. Even introduced me to guys from other MCs. I've never felt at all uncomfortable or unwelcome. Now I go to most open nights and I don't even ride 😂
I don't think the latter guys you mentioned are 1 percent. There isn't any playground in the real world. Most of the bad 1 percent clubs are living some sick fantasy. Sure, a certain amount of work needs to be done. But fucking with civilians is not cool at all
The man makes the patch, but in some unfortunate cases, that same patch will make that man. It sucks and I’m sorry to hear it but honestly they may be great guys
Weeding out the timid ones. My best guess.
Had a friend leave his MC after he got full custody of his daughter because he knew he wouldn't be able to to get his hours or miles in. Broke his heart to have to leave as a full member.
I actually have custody of my daughter
@@DemonsRow that's good man 👍 both the road family the blood family are important.
Our club is family, job, club.
Sorry to hear that ,
Did the club understand?
I heard some bikers in new york state were having a charity to help kids that would sexually abused snd one kid was being interviewed and the reporter asked if he was scared to tell his story and he goes "no cause my friends are alot scarier than him."
Yea i saw that
The kid has the best kind of friends
BACA was the club.
Bikers
Against
Child
Abuse
B.A.C.A. for the win!!! Those dudes don't play 🤘🤘💪💪
Was that the same club that showed up to court to protect the kid from their abusive father?
I grew up in South Florida, and have a lot of respect for the outlaws! My mom was a waitress at the clock restaurant and they took very good care of her. Seeing them out was just an everyday occurrence and I've seen them show a lot of kindness! I've also seen them not take no BS!
Salute
I am friends with a few outlaws, and they are such nice people. they have showed so much kindness towards me.
Damn I'm in Boca Raton and i remember they had a Clock restaurant.. that place was good af. Do they even have Clock restaurants anymore?
I miss the Clock
Colville Tenn. Nation Outlaws and black pistons earned their respect . Back to Barbarosa end of July for Jesse Howard (Nu Breed) . Rip Buzzy ( Atomic City)
As a 1%er for 40 years you are spot on Bro 😎 most people get the BS about MC Clubs from B movies and sons of anarchy I Don’t have a criminal record and nobody is forced to commit crimes. 100% loyalty is demanded from members and yes anyone can leave of their own free will. Thanks for keeping it real Bro Respect ✊🏻
much respect
Any clubs you could recommend in Alberta Canada ? Thanks!
Family, Work, Club.., I would do anything for my Brothers but maintaining the work family balance is important too
@@h.d.mech.mortenson2098hells angels
Kinda hard to call yourself 1% "outlaw" bike gang if you dont do outlaw shit. Yall just rock those patches to make up for your internal weakness.
I have yet to ever have a problem with any 1% bike MC. I myself am a disabled US Marine Combat veteran and basically an outlaw now. But anytime I have ran into 1% brothers, they have always treated me with respect, honestly I think most 1% ers treat people the way they want to be treated, and I live by that, unless someone just gets straight stupid. Also, Sose, I like the way you say keep it 1000. Ride Safe
100% agree with you! Most 1%ers will be your best friend or your worst enemy - choice is yours. Show respect get respect!
@@lsjionredlinesupercharged2049 fuck off! - it's fuck all to do with race and we ain't gangs! I'm in a motorcycle CLUB and we have both black and white men - so shut the fuck up trying to make shit about race!
My name is Stephanie and you're so correct. AMEN FOR YOU
#Ghostin in Oregon. I must say I really enjoyed this presentation. Thank you for taking the time to preview someone talking about the MC culture from the outside and not railing against them because of it. This person has done some legit research and had many intelligent things to say. Your experience in the life helped you fill in the blanks and redefine the misfires.
Yes dan were not here to put people down
Have been watching you for 2+ years. Was patched in 2021 January. Just letting you know that watching your videos helped and watch them over and over. Biggest one "Be seen but not heard". Thanks!
Man im so glad thats the best comment to me like im doing good
So damn true when I was hanging around clubs the biggest thing i kept hearing listen twice speak once.
"When we do good, nobody mentions it.
When we do bad, nobody ever forgets"
Truth
Thats hownit is for everyone, not just bikers. Everyone remembers the bad but never the good.
Hey Sose my name is Tom we worked at Mohegan sun back in the day I'm glad you're doing well and I enjoy your channel, I was at Mohegan for 25 years and enjoyed working with you.
That was fun as hell i actually miss it a lil
Keep bringing the knowledge Sose. Your videos clear up a lot of misconceptions that the general pop has about 1% MC’s.
Much love
Not running background checks on prospective members is how you end up with law enforcement in your club.
Thats a fact
Love your videos so much they show me what to do and what not to do around a club. My dad is in a club and I grew up around the MC and I know no other life, I have thought about being in my dads club for a few years and watching your videos help me and makes me feel like I could be ready if I do want to wear my dads patches
Thank you i glad it helps
Stay away from your dads club. Some things a kid doesn't need to know
Ghosting (the Old Man). My first encounter with mc clubs was in the early to mid 70’s. I was broken down and a warlock probably from Gloucester city or Philadelphia helped me out then gave me his clubs Card that said ( when we do good no one remembers, When we do bad no one forgets)
I've worked with 1%ers. They have jobs, family and responsibilities outside of club life. It's just the club takes a higher priority with them. It is a huge commitment that they take very seriously. I've never met one I didn't respect.
Truth
We have an unwritten rule. You can make your probate do whatever you want, but if you get caught giving them a task that you yourself would never do, you might find yourself probating right along side of them.
I am a former San Jacinto Highroller MC "Road Captain", TEXAS. Today I am an ordained minister with the Christian Motorcyclist Association. I serve the Lord, Jesus Christ in motorcycle ministry. I wear a Christian patch today, but I am still loyal to the MC code of the RED & GOLD Nation as a former Texas MC member. "SYLB".
Ok Luke
What do you mean you “serve the Lord” but are also “still loyal to the MC code of the Red & Gold Nation” ? If there is a conflict in the code and the Word….to which are you loyal at that point ? Genuine question here.
Love loyalty & Respect
@@2alphacpa374yea makes no sense smh
Awesome!
I appreciate your work. Hope you and yours are doing good. I've always had a big interest in getting the 1% patch but dont know if I would have time to dedicate if I can't do it a hundred percent I don't want to do it at all.
Yea its a big dedication
It takes alot of commitment
I'm lost
I’ve been I awe of bikers since ‘65, when I was in High School, when the Saturday Post came out with an article came out about the Angels. When I went to Nam, I saved enough money to buy a ‘51 panhead when I was discharged in ‘70. I didn’t have a license, plus it was a jockey shift. By ‘72, I was in a bike club and loved it. But it was short lived time of my life. I’m still a fan of who can put in the time and dedication to be in a club.
Lmfao
You are dead on as usual and i appreciate what you're doing for our culture if no one else says it, but I got your 6.
Appreciate its good to hear
So nice to have this channel, I'm super nice to hear your voice again by the way.
But nice to have a lot of these myths cleared up and it's really good to know and reassuring that not all MC members are involved in the criminal world which is a myth..🙏🏼💪🏼👑
Thank you for the love happy holidays
Sure it would be good Station if he told the truth instead of being a lying hypocrite
Your channel definitely clears up the information in a way anyone can understand. It has helped me so much during my time being around the MC world! Much respect to you🙏🏻
Much respect cass thank you
Very informative and interesting… Maybe if I was in my early 20’s I could possibly join a 1%er MC…. But now that I’m 40, maybe I’ll just enjoy riding my motorcycle and not having the politics of a club determine my lifestyle. Cheers to all riders out there! 🍻🏍
Thats where i am right now
This is an awesome channel. Shout out, LOTS of RESPECT to you and the chosen few.
#Ghostin
Much respect jazz
Much respect for this whole article and for you breaking it down. I know two 1% ers. I was raised around them my whole life and didn't even know anything about them or what they were until I was way into my thirties. I was just taught that they were the vets and just like with military vets, they get the utmost respect. This video answered my question about the FJ1100.
Much love christa
@@DemonsRow appreciate that!
Great video Sose! Went down on my bike recently and glad to still be here. Everyone be safe out there!
Man glad your good
My local neighborhood bar has a bike night once a month and we get a good mix of independents. 1%ers and several different clubs I was lucky to have had a friend back many years ago 44 years to be exact when I bought my first Harley he took me under his wing and taught me etiquette the do's and don'ts.we remained good friends up until a couple of years ago when he passed over to the other side. A lot of people ask me how do you get invited to all the parties and special events some of which are usually club brothers and invite only and all I can say is I know my place and I show respect and clubs like people who know their place and show respect, and I have Zeick and Lynn to thank for that, RIP Lynn I miss you every day big brother thanks for showing me the ropes.
Few of my older family has deep history/ties with an MC, and this presentation helps shed light on some of it, and decreases some of the stigma and conflicted feelings= you’re greatly appreciated! Thank you..
Growing up at around 6 or 7 I was told I had a cousin named Carlito. Supposedly he was in prison. He was not. Because I was sitting outside bored, I heard a loud motorcycle coming down the road. Interested I watch for it. This big dude on a Harley comes driving up. He actually pulled straight up into the driveway and asked me if my name was ……..
Yep. He was an enforcer in the Hells Angels. Lol. It was carlito. He took me fishing. Every time he rode through town he would stop by. Most 1% clubs of old have died out. Mentalities have changed with the times.
Yes that is true
You're pretty much on the mark with most things. Back in the early days of clubs, most 1%er clubs allowed Harleys and Indians, and also bikes of our WWII allies, like Triumphs, BSAs, Nortons, etc. with a minimum 500cc motor. Marlon Brando rode a Triumph Thunderbird in "The Wild One", a movie that was based on the Hollister 'riots'. When Indiian went under in 1953, the rule became Harleys only because they alone were American made. When Victory and Indian came back on the market, they were acceptable. Regarding your mention of criminal organizations, a wise 1%er said "We're not a criminal organization, were an organization with a few criminals". The major clubs realize that crazy antics only bring more attention, especially from the feds. Being in the life since the late 60s, I prefer the old days. Clubs have gotten so big that they've lost the true brotherhood, no matter what they say today.
SOA has been a nightmare for MC's all of a sudden you got dicks joining and they're waring white trainers trying to look like fucking jacks. They love the image but aren't prepared to be it. They stand behind a bar, pick up litter, empty ashtrays, turn up on a bike when they have to for 12 months and that's it, they're in. My old club was 40 odd strong when I joined. Everyman was there for you save maybe 1 or 2 who may come up with reasonable excuses. You always get it. Now there's 300 and still only about 60 who are the real ones. Snowflakes are even invading the 1% thing. Damn shame.
Right on mark. Man its just not like it use to be. Really was still good till the 90s. Then it seemed to take a dump....
Bike has to start out as an HD. SS up grades undo all that.
@@hardlife8489 Yes my friend, I was in what was called the welsh biker wars, the things that happened, well there's no point talking about it. They wouldn't believe me anyway. Now people strut around, hope the patch will pull some women and live off yesteryear and image. I resent it really as you have a lot of steroided up, tatooed muscle Mary's who shit themselves at the first sign of trouble.
If there was something to do we wouldn't even let the law stand in our way. We we're committed to each other unto death if need be. We would find a way and bide our time whatever the circumstance.
Plenty of times I've thpught I can't believe I'm doing this and done it anyway, and came out OK. Now you're just seen as mad and too "warie." Everyone is full of stories, but most seem to be either made up or someone else's story. You have prospects asking "can I go home" fucking no you can't, now you're here for another day. All you get is you're too hard, you're too extreme. Sounds a compliment but it's really not. It's the ultimate slag off lol. You know I think I actually saw a guy with guy liner on!! Another saying yeah I've had bottox and all the old ones are gone or only the old softies are left, telling their fucking bullshit stories.
In it's day it was a hardcore brotherhood, with old fashioned values, protected and respected women and children, raised money for veterans or any local family who needed help with a take no prisoners attitude. Now, now they're all Jax without the ability or commitment to do anything, or the balls.
It was good while it lasted tho A.
@@markmarley9149 fuckin A my friend. My time was the late 70s -80s seamed as there was still some of that around. I glad I had a chance to see the real thing. I noticed the huge change in 90. Like people were buying their BIKERHOOD and calling me BROTHER. I road an old bike 61 flathead solo Bobber. Then an 86' dresser. They came out with the Even and all this fake shit happened. I was just checking out some guys fr my teen yrs. Unknown Bikers MC they were riding bicycles and had colors. Now they are a Brand and everyone's wearing a patch. I really don't think half would have even been able to hang out with the OGs.
To expand on #7. Riding is a perishable skill, it you don't put time in the saddle, you will endanger your group when they run hot and fast...
Truth
Many years ago when I was in nursing school. I got a flat on expressway. No one would help me. Then a Chicago Outlaw pulled up and offered help and changed it fir me. I never forgot his kindness.
I remember dating a girl who's dad was a high ranking member in of one of the biggest 1% clubs in my area. He wanted to chat with me, wanted me to know if we needed anything, that his brothers would be there to help. It was peculiar as I'm not sure he could tell if I was male or female, as it was a phone call. And at that time I'm not sure he knew his daughter dated women.
O wow lol its always easier with 2 girls a son is rough
#ghostin My son wants to be a police. I share your videos with him to know the community, the culture and what amazing people bikers are. I am trapped in the corporate culture and truly respect anyone that lives and rides free. God Bless you all....much respect

Thats the truth my brother
Anyone one I deal on 2s there's a common respect I call brother until there's not. Done it for 50 years. Maybe it's just Cali up with it. Sose I've never met you, but if your broke down on the side of the road I'm going to stop and help any way I can. I called you a brother because I respect what you do for the 2 wheel community............
Much love Hookdog i consider us a big 2wheel family
I was told back in the sixties that 1% spent 1% of their life in jail or something like that.
Thanks for clearing that up
Much love
Merry Christmas to you and the family Sose #Ghostin
Merry christmas steve
Hey brother much respect. How about a vid on going on what to do and what NOT to do when visiting another club house. Patch holder vs probates. I think that would be helpful for these new guys coming into this lifestyle!
Great idea
Good point. Prospect in the 1980's almost got me poisoned /arrested (goodbye government Security Clearance.) I did swallow live grass frog to top (REDACTED) story. Vietnam vets trying to one up each other.
Prospect is not a happy position, work thru crazy things and know that everyone "has been there. Baltimore Philadelphia was a crazy place in the 1980`s/ 1990's - my wife (estranged) hooked up with a Pagan. I found out that girl I was shaking with had Warlock uncle that did not like Fates Assembly. (I'm so retired me and wife did not keep in touch with anyone (I'm not allowed to meet anyone cause court. I had a stupid moment.)
@@309nmblonde I think we all had our stupid moments lol. I about got my ass beat to death when I was prospecting. We had went to the Outlaws club house and we were getting ready to leave and I thought it was ok for me to just grab the door handle and open the door. Boy was I wrong!!!!! never did that shit again.
I'm going to buy as much merchandise as I can from you guys to honor my father and to support you
thank you
Just like to wish all of you lads and ladies a very merry Xmas and a fantastic new year please don’t drink and ride or drive take care stay safe as always xx from London And a big thank you SIR for all you do for the biking world ✌️

Good job. Can learn a lot from the experienced groups.

I have watched a few of your videos and learned alot. Some of it I thought was true was, and some of what I thought was true was not. I think one of the best things is you actually read ALL of your comments. Most could careless. I give you mad respect for either replying or a heart to your comments sir!

My dad was a pagan a couple years ago. I remember the sounds thousands of bikes drowning out any other noise during the Christmas toy rides they did

I've met heaps of bikers at party's and stuff. They are okay. A lot of them work in construction and contribute to the community. Yeah they bong on but they do a lot of other stuff. The bikers in Australia use to have a yearly toy Run for kids in hospital. Ride on dudes
Much love sue
I've never met a bad bikie, they are always polite and generous underneath the leathers.
Too bad our politicians started targeting anyone riding the noble steed and hurt the culture in Aus.
Who doesn’t punch cones these days 😂
Man I like watching your videos because you seem like a genuinely good person that knows what you’re talking about and isn’t a dickhead. I reckon any club would be happy to have you in their ranks. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and a big F off to all the idiots who mouth off on your videos.
I am a Swedish native that hates Hells Angels MC Sweden because when I was 11 years of age a group of 6 Hells Angels 1% members broke into my family apartment back in 1987 and With use of firearms threats forced me to give a bunch of high value stockmarket papper of 44 miljon Sek (Swedish Crowns) to Swedish Hells Angels 1% members and my future life was destroyed of their actions against me when i was 11 years of age. Why i tell this story on TH-cam is that Hells Angels say to people in public that they do not Hurt or harm any children that is a big huge lie because Hells Angels they do hurts or harm children so long they can live their lives as it fits them and I Will always hate Hells Angels MC sweden what they did to me and for destroying my life .
Yeah that’s sweeden, in 1969 Modesto, ca my mom broke down in the middle of Hiway with 4 kids in the ‘59 Chevy station wagon, and 5 HA’S Parked their bikes in turn lane with lights on and used that station wagon across 3 lanes of Hiway and out of harms way! they will always have my respect!over
@@michaelashby4036 I hope they did not ask any favors in return for their timed helping intervention because when Hells Angels MC takes over a area in a city they can show a friendly side to local population to be accepted but when Hells Angels MC sweden needs money for their criminal enterprise they begins to robb or steal from people in their territory named a " tax fee " for people living in their area in The suburbs of Hökkarängen south of Stockholm green Subway line back in 1987. My family tried to move away from Hökkarängen several Times to get out from Hökkarängen but like Hells Angels MC sweden say " when anybody moves in it is imposssible ( almost imposssible ) move out " because Hökkarängen is a slum or a Hood area far south of Stockholm on green line to Farsta Strand. There is still many children familys living in and outside of Hökkarängen that still suffers of all criminal Hells Angels MC sweden activities to todays date that tries to move away like my family did because of Hells Angels MC sweden " tax fees ". To me Hells Angels MC sweden is bunch of criminals that deserves to be in jail for their crimes they do for a living and leave law abident citizens or natives alone.
They have firearms in Sweden?
Most gangs and MC are behind human trafficking
Another great video as always, much respect to you sose! #Ghostin
Much respect
never realized what a fan boy i really am bout the culture. I've ride, started a club with my dead father in law, thankfully the premier clubs ignored us. promised my mom to stay off the hogs. she right, they kill bikers out here in the valley. still a fanboy, still a know it all lol! always respect.
Much respect
The term Hooligan actually came from the Irish and the London UK bikers back in the late 40’s, later became the 59 club in London, great video!
thank you for the knowledge
I'm in a "dominant" and we run background checks and you have to be known as solid before you can become a hangaround. For this reason we have never been infatuated but just like every 1%er club we've had guy's flip and certain charters catch RICO's.
Much respect
This question is serious but I’m sure in some way a joke:
With all the shit LEAs and LEOs get into while wearing a uniform why are they and the precinct not getting jammed up on RICOs…?
I know the answer but it begs the question because most of these LEOs are not getting nailed their first go-around and I’m pretty sure some, if not all, the LEOs that know that cat, know s/he are not on the up and up.
I’m just saying. The saying, we’re not above the law does not hold when we (the Citizenry) see and experience this shit. Look at MC or motorcycle profiling, that is entire organization dedicated to (possibly) violating rights, but those cats (LEOs) go home to their families and the rest of us may not.
Respect “The Game”.
Sose response to #1 had my dying laughing..
Merry Christmas Ghost to you & yours!!!!
Merry christmas lol
Thanks for all the great information/videos. Just my opinion, but in the current USA we need 1%ers more than ever before.
Very true thank you
#Ghostin
From CT here enjoying all your content, keep it coming.
#GHOSTIN I did some looking into the whole "Hollister Riots". Most of that was over sensationalism by the San Francisco Chronicle and Life Magazine. Local press had a different story. Yeah it got a tad rowdy, yes there was a fight here and there, but it was all quickly squelched. The biggest problem that occurred, was the lack of lodging to accommodate the gathering, because the town's population doubled.
its always media
You’re exactly right skot373, many pics from that 4th of July weekend in Hollister we’re staged. The club I prospect for was at Hollister and yeah they did get rowdy and have fun but the news articles sensationalized the whole thing to instill fear in the masses. Little did they know they helped kick off the “outlaw” biker culture. OWOF SYLBFMC
Keep on Ghosting Sose. You're the best
#Gho⚡tin thank you brother Smash the like 4 me
Another great video. Lots of good information, and straighting out what was wrong with the list.
Thank you my brother
You always keep it real have a Merry Christmas
Merry christmas
Lots of truth in the list but let me break it down. 1% MC's are not criminal organizations. They are a collective of individuals who view each other as family. Hints why we call each other brother. Myself personally am one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet as long as you're respectful to me & my family. With that being said I have a question for the readers of this comment. If someone was being disrespectful or putting your family intentionally in harms way would you protect them or just stand there slacked jaw with your hands in your pockets? Personally I will support my club, my brothers, my family 116%. If that makes me a criminal than that's the risk I'm willing to take. I get everyone thinks "their club" is the best and that's how it should be. Support your Team! What I'd love to see is a mutual respect for the diamond. It takes a certain man to be willing to rock, defend, & uphold the values it represents. Imagine a world where dominate clubs find a way to coexist understanding that everyone has that 1% mentality & the same enemy. I often wonder if the FED doesn't stir the pot intentionally between clubs to keep that kind of unity from happening. They have been waging a war against the free & independent people of this country long before I was born 36yrs ago but the truth remains if men like us actually moved as 1 while respecting the diamond but supporting our own team we could have a very influential political party and/or fighting force. Food for thought.
Much Love, Honor, & Respect,
Throwdown 1%
I believe the fed puts the agents in the clubs to keep unbalance much respect
Solid info as usual, thanks for your never ending hard work. Hope you have a Merry Christmas
#Ghostin
Thank you Jack merry christmas
Unfortunately our Government is now vetting current and former members of the military and labeling them as right wing or individuals to be watched, which includes Bikers (MCs and the like).
Yea i know its insane
Had that back in the 80's in the UK when I was in the R.A.F , riding 1%, I was caught off station in my Colours by the Military Police , arrested, put in the guardhouse and my Colours seized . Took a lot of explaining and Penance with my Club Brothers to get me a replacement set of Colours .
I don't know how it is in the States with MC's, but with ours when Prospecting you had your Club name bar, prospect bar and personal name bar on front, and bottom rocker 'England' on the back....then when you were finaly accepted for "Patching in" you had your top rocker, centre patch, MC and 1% diamond presented to you and you took off your prospect bar ....once stitched on you were Patched with your Club Colours.
My cousin was in a 1% club for over 30 years.. unfortunately because of physical health problems he could not ride much anymore.. wound up retiring from the club but they are still his brothers and he has their back and they have his... Unfortunately had to sell his bike but if he ever needed a loaner bike one phone call to his club and they would have a loaner bike ready for him in an hour to ride...

#GHOSTIN a member of Bandidos MC (his name escapes me) once said, maybe sarcastically or ironically, “We are 1%ers because we’re the best of the best. No one stands against us.”

Love the episode big bro! 🤜🤛

I've also heard the 1% ment (from an interview with I believe an original 81 member). he said it meant that he was 1% away from not giving a fuck. 🤷♂️
Yea thats what big Caz told me
Just found you channel and I’m an instant fan. When you are around 1%er’s it’s all about RESPECT! If you are an ole lady remember you represent your Man so don’t be acting up at events! Also on the integration of clubs I’d like to add some clubs allow Asians to join as well. May My Wind Brothers and Wind Sisters have safe travels, smooth roads, and your shiny side always upright.

Much love mama glad your here. There was too many men we need a ladies touch lol
A lot of these depend on the clubs and members you'll be running into. When I was interested years ago, I was told you didn't earn a 1% patch unless you served time for committing a felony. Both clubs I asked wouldn't even let you in the club if you didn't have a record. Wearing that 1% patch otherwise would get you "educated" and your patch would be forcibly removed. Also you have to earn the use of brother or bro. You can take your chances but it could get you popped in the mouth as the folks I talked to see that as disrespectful to the members that earned the right to be bros.
Around here those 1% clubs with jobs and that don't do illegal stuff are not 1% clubs and are usually RCs not MCs. There are many charity clubs here labeled as MC but they don't wear a 1% patch. Most of them are RCs.
Bottom line, it depends on who you run into. I can tell you though that if you wear the three piece and that 1% patch out here and can't back it up, you are asking for trouble. Just advice I received from 2 actual 1% clubs out here.
I also grew up with kids whose families were in one huge 1% club. I have hung around that one huge club for years and used to frequently drink with several of another 1% club years ago. It is all about respect and knowing what questions not to ask, and when to keep your mouth shut and listen. If you come at one of these guys all "bro what's up" trying to start a conversation as a perfect stranger, you might get ignored, cussed, or told to piss off. Or you might lose some teeth. If you like to gamble be my guest. Don't say you were not warned and I hope you brought some actual bros with ya. lol
I never heard that one before they dont play much respect you learn something new everyday
I think if you go to any group of people you do not know and say "Hey Bro" you will be considered an idiot and dealt with as such. If you "run into" a club somewhere my guess is best to just give a polite "hows it going" if the situation calls for. IOW, you do not walk up to the group to chat it up but if you are walking by each other just be polite then move on.
Hey, I grew up on the West coast of Canada in the 60's....I had friends whose older brothers rode with clubs, and grew up around guys from a few clubs...back then there were more than a dozen MC in my area....they eventually either folded their clubs or patched over to the Satans Angels...then to the Hells Angels,. a minor wrinkle at the time was the Satans Angels had an E Indian member, but as his brothers had his back, the US clubs relented on the white thing. I have had friends with patches over the years, and other friends from across the country who used t o wear a patch.....all were pretty decent stand u[ guys. Oh well, I am an old fart now....having outlived many buddies.....but still riding an old FXDL daily when the weather permits....good fucking memories though..
Sounds like you got chased off. Wasn't for you, dude!
I was a 1% patch holder in an international club for a couple decades before I retired out. I've never even heard of such a thing among the clubs. Sounds like a good way to get RICO charges. Are we fibbing a bit here?
#GHOSTIN great video Sose ride safe brother much respect 🤘
Much love
Serious question for you. Do you think that a person that doesn't drink, smoke or do any drugs have a place in a club? Quick run down. First bike at 7, first Harley at 15, a pos 72 Sporty. 49 years later I've had 31 bikes, 10 were Harley, like my current 07. My pops was an alcoholic, so it burnt me from drinking, never smoked or did drugs, always just wanted to ride. Rain, shine, it didn't matter. I was always the guy my friends called when they were in a jam, hey, my battery died, on my way. Hey, I'm too fucked up to drive, can you give me a ride home, me, on my way. Hey shit is about to happen, don't matter, I'm on my way. I'm loyal af to my friends, I'll bring the shovel. I've been a welder for 34 years, no one special, just always loved bikes, Harleys, Titties and Tacos. I've never thought about a club because I didn't do all the other things and didn't think I'd fit or them look at me differently. Have I been wrong over the years or not doing those things would have been a deal breaker for clubs?
Im not the biggest drinker
I’m a 1%er in the oldest outlaw club I don’t drink or do any drugs we call them straight edge every brother understands and respects my choice.
I'm not in a 1% club, but I am in a support club for one. Ive decided to spend a month straight edge, to give my body a break, and I've had nothing but respect from my brothers for making that call, and I've had no pressure from any of them.
#GHOSTIN #GHOSTETTE your videos are on top on the MC Culture Brother Lion Sose !
Much love carla
#15 the pagans MC started the 1% diamond patch but the AMA did come up with the meaning behind it. #13 the Pagan MC rode triumphs in the beginning when the club started than they started to transition to harley Davidson
I didnt know that much respect
Facts
Yes sir the channel is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate you carlos
I live in the UK and am not involved with any mc but the first time I ever met anyone who was was two guys with their good ladys and they were H.A and they came out to the animal shelter i was working at to make sure that we were a real charity, when they came back they were with the whole club and sorpporting clubs and they bought loads of animal food and stuff. All you here in the press is the bullshit never all the good things that Mcs do.
Thats the truth
that's right they are not forced to watch it but to me I think they are brilliant and your doing a brilliant job trying to help normal people understand. thanks again Dave.
Appreciate you
The not owning a motorcycle in an MC always gets me. You automatically lose my respect.
Yea i agree
Yeah man, for real. How you gonna be in an MC without an M ? Used to be an automatic disqualifier .
Your channel has grown so much my man…been here since you were making vids standing outside in the cold…
Thank you
I feel once the Mafia started ratting on each other clubs started doing it too. It’s sad because the Mafia and Clubs are supposed to be above that your secrets die with you. You don’t repeat your life to anyone but since they started ratting on each other I feel the structure isn’t there anymore. I can’t get with the clubs because of that.. Like ya you might break a dudes jaw that’s sneaking up on me with a crowbar but then you gunna turn around and rat to the FBI that I did some shit? Having my back just ain’t in the streets it’s in the court and in the pen
As soon as they start talking about 25 to life everyone rolls
@@DemonsRow I don’t know how to react to that man thumbs up cause it’s true but thumbs down because it’s efffed up and shouldn’t happen but I get it.. I hate rats bro. If people want to live the lifestyle then live with the punishment that comes with it if you get caught up don’t roll on your brothers.. period
@Tommy Ealey lol ya cause you know right? I know people that got extra time for not turning over on their non related brothers but ok.. a rat is a thief and a thief is a rat they go hand in hand you act like they are different people they are lowlifes period and the same.. Don’t be insinuating I’m a rat you don’t know who your talking to..
@@ianb6643 yep, that's 💯do your thing and if you get caught let it be at YOUR OWN slip up....
