Hey George. The saddest part of this story is men like Old Man John are a thing of the past. The youngsters of today have no clue as to the respect off yesteryear. Thanks for the great stories of the golden years of outlaw motorcycle club life.
My Dad. WWII GI. European Theater. Active in The VFW an American Legion when i was kid in the 1960's. The Old Man John kind of Guy in every VFW Post. Chewing on a Cigar. Sipping on a Brew. Quiet an Composed. But Prolly the Biggest Badass in WWII. Love those Old guys, Miss them George, 😎
I'd be interested to hear a bit more about the bikes in those early days - the different styles used by the different clubs, what people took off and added in to keep the weight down, how far they'd push it with tuning and race parts, any special bikes people copied. Thanks for putting this material up.
Interesting question, really depends on what you mean by early days, and there are many clubs. I know you asked George, but I found your question interesting. Simply put, in the 50's-60's, bikes were Harley's, sportsters, indians, & British bikes, triumph, bsa, Norton, Matchless, royal Enfield. Some clubs were specific on bikes, but not usually back then, many Harley's were 45ci, 61ci, ?, with 74ci being the largest. In the late 60's and 70's many clubs required a USA made bike at least 1,000cc. Although the jap bikes started coming out like Honda 750's and kawasuckme 650's n' stuff. Some clubs allowed these in chopper form, as many bikes of all makes built into choppers was popular at the time. Most clubs though were strictly USA made bikes over 1,000cc ( 74ci indians & Harley's, FL's, Superglide & the Sportster) by then and would continue that way. Well there wasn't much for custom parts in the 50's-60's, the old Harley's (flatheads, knuckleheads, early panheads), were foot clutch & hand shift, the British bikes were foot shift, hand clutch, which Harley switched to eventually with the later panheads, through an outer mounted "mousetrap" set up. Well before Harley introduced that guys DIY'ed there own "mousetrap" set ups, which had been being done on race Harley's since the 20's. So switching the clutch/shift set up was very popular & custom in the early days, most everything was self made back then either by scratch or customizing stock parts, high bars were popular & cool, custom exhaust extensions, strippin down used bikes, no one could afford a new bike back then. Flame paint (pinstripe ), Then came the more radical design choppers,(late 60's) and a few more custom parts were being manufactured, custom gas tanks (peanut, mustang, coffin), custom seats (cobra, king/queen), custom sissy bars, custom bars (z bars, drag bars, ape) overstock length fork tubes. You would shave your fork legs, remove the fender mounts and stuff, spin'em on a lathe, throw the front fender away, lol, all kinds of cool stuff. We'ed bump up the ci's on the older Harley's to 74ci, with bigger jugs heads pistons, we'ed interchange different year parts, sometimes in very interesting ways, lol. Then by the early 70's more custom parts, custom raked (neck degrees) rigid frames (almost every dang bike of the time), custom built extended springer & girder front ends (wide & narrow), custom round & octagon oil tanks, twisted accessories such as pegs, highway bars, sissy bars, springers. Extreme frame molding and paint jobs, the use of filler & fiberglass for frames & fenders, and more & more aftermarket parts became available till the 90's you could build a whole custom harley out of a catalog. Blah blah blah yea ya got me talkin lol I can't think, take care ✌️
Yea and we rode'em across the country,lol, rough ridin rigids, little gas tanks with extended springers, lol, nowadays I'm getting almost 200 miles on a tank and listening to the radio
There were so many cool custom bike builders 60's-70's I could tell you about... They became regional legends of their trade. From the early flame masters of the 50's-60's, to the full blown wildest choppers of the 70's. A lot of car shows didn't let bikes in back then 60's-early 70's, which goes into another topic...
I mentioned some of the overall basics of custom bikes in the 50's through 70's, but yea, I'd like to George talk about that stuff to, im sure he remembers neat stuff around his scene back then with the custom bikes.
There's a lot of stupid trolls on the Internet that have no lives, what's they do is talk shit to try and make themselves feel better. We like your stories brother your a legend. Don't let them get to you. Real mtfrs respect you. This is American history. No matter what race you are we are all Americans . Thanks for sharing your life with us 💪💪
Thanks for the stories George. I grew up in Australia back in the 70s and outlaw culture was like bread and butter to us working class folks who liked to blow off steam and tinker with motors. Hearing firsthand about your experiences is fascinating, especially about the guys who started the whole thing. Many thanks
So much history that would be lost if you weren’t writing it down or speaking about it. You’ve had a hell of a life Mr. Christie and I hope you keep living it. My son and I were watching some of your stuff last night too and it’s amazing you’re still kicking around at almost 80. Some Outlaws live forever. Keep the content coming! Much respect.
Thanks, George. I love hearing the stories. I grew up in the SFV. I was always impressed when I saw the Satan slaves galloping gooses Hells Angels. You guys were what I always wanted to be, but never had the balls to do.
Just stumbled upon your channel recently and how entertaining the stories have been! I grew up here in the NE in the 60s & 70s those were wild times in this area as well. Keep doing what you're doing and to hell with the know it alls! God bless the 1% lifestyle
You're proper down to earth, intelligent and articulate and have been around; your generation that have your type within is sadly dying out but will forever be remembered as legends; and invariably are humble and total gentlemen . Absolute respect from London, England boss man!
Hey George. I’ve read Exile on front street and Outlaw riding through the storm. Both great books. I’m looking forward to the next one. I also enjoy your videos. You’re a great storyteller. Keep up the good work!
Hi I was a patch holder with a three piece patch club in SO Cal . My father was a Chief in Azusa . He met with Sonny when they’d have a run in Azusa Canyon . Checking into rehab today lol Thanks Brother
The most amazing “thing” about these old timers like Christie is they’re still “upright” after riding a motorcycle all those years in “California traffic”.
I have so much respect for George. He’s the literal definition of an “OG”. If anyone is calling BS on his stories have never stepped foot on the street or a bike. Thank you for the awesome content “OG” Dirty George.
Super great as always!! Enjoy all the stories & glad u just share off the cuff” I can close my eyes & go back decades, of times gone by!! Take care & wish u the very best!! 🌵🌵🥵🥵 Tucson,Arizon
I was around. In 70's 80's on 2's in N.Y.C , Just want to say luv your stories, keep them coming, brings back memory's both good and bad. But mostly good T.Y.
It’s an outlaw motorcycle club people, you don’t think bikes are going to be stolen. If it bothers people to much then they shouldn’t watch. Thanks for all the great stories George, this lifestyle has been so interesting to me since I could remember and this is awesome.
Growing up in Pasadena California. In the 60s and 70s our little group of friends riding Triumphs, Sportsters, Nortons, and a couple garbage wagons. There was a Black & White club house in northern Pasadena right off Lake Ave. I had gone to school with a couple guys who were in this club. We were invited over there one time, and this is my point. A friend of mine said look, don’t talk un less you’re spoken to and most of all. Don’t say anything stupid. And that’s really a good rule in life. Don’t say anything stupid! I really dig listening to your stories man. Take care.
I remember cutting off the finger tips of my moms leather gloves back in 72 so I could outrun the cops on my YZ 80 through our local neighborhoods. Thanks George.
Interesting stuff thanks for doing this. If its not to much trouble would it be a good idea to have some photos of the people and situations your talking about up in the corner or off to the side to help us feel more apart of the stories . I find myself doing alote of google searches while Im listing to see who these people are
You can really tell you loved Old Man John. Its not all you say about him but it's how you talk about him , its sincerity . Love & Respect go hand & hand in the culture . For those that dont understand what real brotherly love is about . Its deeper than most will ever understood. Thats just my opinion and how I understand it . I didnt know John was a C.B . As always i really appreciate the stories. Hope youre doing well and have a good one .
Old man John reminds me of my frist President Lug big tuff and very Wise man. Bought of them have road on to high way in the sky they don't make good men like them anymore
The stealing of bikes by motorcycle clubs in the 70s and 80s wasn't just a thing in Cali but also in Vancouver, Canada. And those who were deemed "unworthy" of their bikes were the ones most stolen. Bikes with "property stickers" were never locked and never stolen. And neither were those with support stickers. Your interviews are great. If I was gonna make a criticism, it would be to include more old photos.
Mr Christie… you sir are a legend. Loyal to a fault, ready with your hands, and willing to listen before taking action. You were born for your position!
I was talking to Frank Wheeler (AOA president) when I met Cisco, and he said he knew Cisco from the 60’s in Richmond. I asked Frank if he rode his bike out to California (whatever year that was) in the 60’s. He said, no. But he had motorcycles. How did he get them, I asked the dumb question. He said, “I stole their (Hell’s Angel’s) bikes.” Frank was a helluva man! 😎🏍️💨🏁
George, did you ever meet Nurget (Walter Stadnick)? Him and I were refused entry into the Calgary Stampede in 1988 because he wouldn't take his patch off. Q&A? I'd definitely be interested. Again, I love your history. It's great to get it down before it's lost forever. Us old guys aren't getting any younger.
George back in the day i was a declared hangaround for a short time got beat out bad daily cityno one ever messed with my bike Boston Ron was the boss and I think he had respect for me even in the end anyway we were in ventura and I think it was u who showedme how to file my spark plug and that night when all were asleep if it was u u told me that I had to serve the table before I get served,just wondering if u remember that it was the best time of my life would not take one day back.i was young then late 20s now I'm 74 that was the real days got a lot of stories to tell JOHNNYO FORSCHNER
Every single one of your videos has been entertaining and also a great window into better times. It becomes pretty clear that your military tactical experience was a big factor in gaining a high ranking within the club but how important do you believe that military experience was in reaching your high ranking within the club? I hope you continue with the videos cause I bloody well enjoy the crap out of em. Hails from Tasmania!
I enjoy all your shit. You must a been pretty bad-ass. I owned a 71 900 spinster. Now I'm 64 & re learning to ride on a 93 heritage softail. I always been an outlaw but thanks to your nostalgic memories id never join a 1/0% club. Id like to find some of that late 60/ early 70s acid. Caught the tail end in73
George there’s this YouBoober out of Vegas who seems to be losing a lot of sleep over proving that you were talking to the cops. He was playing those old tapes and beating his chest as he dissecting everything you said. I don’t know what his end game is but he sure has made you his business. Any who have a Happy New Year!
I grew up around the Iron Horse Men.Cincinnati,Ohio.They were Like old man John mostly veitnam vets..Devil Disciples work at Gas station an such..Man they were good to us Kids..I get a buck for shining there tires..And they had alot of Triumph an BSA,opd flat head Harleys.good men to all of us...
Great MC HA history. I have a question: Who would ride the most or longest run in your club? How many miles were the average run. Also what was the best motorcycle in your opinion that can handle long distant rides? Thank you Mr Christi
Hey George, Big fan thanks for the great content love watching your videos. In this video and other videos you’ve mentioned about the Glendale clubhouse, where was the Glendale clubhouse located?
My bike was stolen 3 times through the 80s and 90s when I lived in felony flats(fontana) and every time it was the MC community that helped me recover it. I was just a hang around but they always stepped up and helped me get my bike back. MLLH&R
Does anyone know what Georges's nickname was/is, it would be amazing if you went live for a Q&A and made longer videos, keep up the great work and please remember the more details the better.
@GeorgeChristie you have known me since I was one. The night of the Queen Mary incident you and your guys were looking for someone named Little John. My dad was known as Little John but he was with a MC called the Brotherhood. Him and my mom and I myself as little one year old where all at a guys house by the name of Mute Ron, he was a Galloping Goose. But yeah you and your guys showed up and at one point I woke up in the back bedroom crying and you went and got me and gave me a bottle and settled me down and put me back in the crib. Figured I'd share that and say thank you for giving me a bottle and hanging out with me. Rubber down shiny up wind pushing you to your destination. Mouch Love, Honor and Respect my brother I would love to be able to grab lunch with you some day and catch up and actually be able to talk to you instead of cry and probably have a full diaper LoL, so if I did have a full diaper that night I apologize.
GC talk about comparing the original club members n todays members n the global expansion n where u see the club in the future...n do u think that the club will ever b at peace w other clubs.. great posts ,,
Sir, I liken you to General Washington, in my honest opinion your path was a Righteous one that would've led to greater things for that lifestyle...Love ya man
HEY GEORGE I WAS IN THE AREA WHERE YOU RAN THE OLYMPIC TORCH I BELIEVE IN 1984 AND THERE WAS A LOT OF YOUR BROTHERS THERE RIDING RIGID FRAMES AND FXR. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CURIOUS LATELY A LOT OF40 AND 50 + YEAR MEMBERS ARE GETTING THE BOOT OR JUST QUITTING.WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A RETIREMENT CHARTER SO MEMBERS CAN DIE WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT? ESPECIALLY TBE ONES WHO PUT IN MOST OF THIER LIFE INTO IT. THANKS GEORGE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
There is a question in here somewhere I am hoping you can comb it out lol Yesterday being the Election in the states got me to thinking... When I grew up in the 60s/70s & had exposure to REAL 1%ers ( some of my friends parents, later buying certain things from some of these guys... i never heard them say a political thing. i am pretty certain none of them voted. I am 100% certain I never heard them talk about it. They just were certain about one thing, no matter who 'The Man' was, Red or Blue, he is not on your side! He will never be on your side. Today I feel like I live in some upside down world where bikers are political. When I was young hippies and bikers got along... they were both anit-authority... I would be interested in your take Mr. Christie TY Much Respect
Guss Come up with a altereggo . To answer some of these Yapps . There are a million snerts and twice as many Trolls out here . Plenty to go around . Stay Golden ✊️
The old days. We’re probably the best days, not always easy just real
Hey George. The saddest part of this story is men like Old Man John are a thing of the past. The youngsters of today have no clue as to the respect off yesteryear. Thanks for the great stories of the golden years of outlaw motorcycle club life.
One day the shoe will be on the other foot. They will want respect and all the youngins will kick them out as well. Karma...

My uncle used to live in Ventura and have a pipe fitting shop, I worked a summer there long ago with an angel, fun times.
Another cool episode Mr. Christie. I think a Q&A episode would be good, I’d love to hear about the bikes you’ve ridden and built over the years

Much respect for Old Man John for staying solid and much respect for George for having the ability and balls to keep his legacy alive.
George is the OG of OG’s, what he did for the club in his 40 years was everything 🔥🔥🔥
George. No matter what you think. Sonny had respect for you. Is evident the way you do your show peace out brother from a Georgia boy.
The most amazing “thing” about these old timers like Christie is they’re still “upright” after riding a motorcycle all those years in “California traffic”.
As always, Really Interesting Stuff !! Thx !!
Love this content 👍👍👍
always compellingly interesting stories and a great window into the outlaw bike culture. Late '60s early '70s what a Time !!

Q&A? I'd definitely be interested.
Again, I love your history. It's great to get it down before it's lost forever. Us old guys aren't getting any younger.

Way to honor your buddy!
Love your stories George! Cheers!
George there’s this YouBoober out of Vegas who seems to be losing a lot of sleep over proving that you were talking to the cops. He was playing those old tapes and beating his chest as he dissecting everything you said. I don’t know what his end game is but he sure has made you his business. Any who have a Happy New Year!
Great stuff George . Did you know of Dicky Pal from Seattle 81 ? This was late 70’s into early-mid 80’s

Another great story.
G'day George. Could you do a piece on Deacon proudfoot. I met him in 1975. In AUSTRALIA. Thankyou.
Great MC HA history. I have a question: Who would ride the most or longest run in your club? How many miles were the average run. Also what was the best motorcycle in your opinion that can handle long distant rides? Thank you Mr Christi
Can you show pictures from back then?
Hey George, Big fan thanks for the great content love watching your videos. In this video and other videos you’ve mentioned about the Glendale clubhouse, where was the Glendale clubhouse located?
What ever happened to Skip Workman from Oakland George? and another great video sir.
Read years ago online he passed. But some HA guys beat him for saying he WAS an HA, dont recall where.
My bike was stolen 3 times through the 80s and 90s when I lived in felony flats(fontana) and every time it was the MC community that helped me recover it. I was just a hang around but they always stepped up and helped me get my bike back. MLLH&R
My hometown!!Fontana aka Felony flats,God bless!!
What lead up to you running the olympic torch, and were there any problems that came after that?
I remember when I was in Phoenix going to MMI in the late 1980's the DD were stealing bikes left and right.
George your channel is the only 1 I wake up and check to see if you have put another story up. Fuck the trolls man. Doing well👍
??? I'm curious if you know about the Chula Vista Chapter, and what happened to it???
Topics that would be interesting. The HA vs the Gypsy Jokers in Caly back in the day, and Mongols Pres Roger Pinney.
Good stuff George. Back in the 70s and early 80s stealing bikes was a big thing on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Enjoy your podcast. Thanks
Pretty work George
George, I'd love to talk to you about the lancaster Mass chapter
George- Care to comment on Hunter Thompson, his book.. how that impacted the scene?
One of the best pieces of advice...talk less, listen more. I wish more people took notice of why they have two ears but just one mouth.
We were all young once brother. Kids today are 14 going on 40.
Does anyone know what Georges's nickname was/is, it would be amazing if you went live for a Q&A and made longer videos, keep up the great work and please remember the more details the better.
Like and sub, support this man while we can get this history out of him
@GeorgeChristie you have known me since I was one. The night of the Queen Mary incident you and your guys were looking for someone named Little John. My dad was known as Little John but he was with a MC called the Brotherhood. Him and my mom and I myself as little one year old where all at a guys house by the name of Mute Ron, he was a Galloping Goose. But yeah you and your guys showed up and at one point I woke up in the back bedroom crying and you went and got me and gave me a bottle and settled me down and put me back in the crib. Figured I'd share that and say thank you for giving me a bottle and hanging out with me. Rubber down shiny up wind pushing you to your destination. Mouch Love, Honor and Respect my brother I would love to be able to grab lunch with you some day and catch up and actually be able to talk to you instead of cry and probably have a full diaper LoL, so if I did have a full diaper that night I apologize.
My Uncle, John was also a member of that MC
@@JoeMomma-mx8ekwhere at? What state?
@@JoeMomma-mx8ek I very well might have known you or your uncle. I was with the MC as my dad was a founding member.
GC talk about comparing the original club members n todays members n the global expansion n where u see the club in the future...n do u think that the club will ever b at peace w other clubs.. great posts ,,
Sir, I liken you to General Washington, in my honest opinion your path was a Righteous one that would've led to greater things for that lifestyle...Love ya man
HEY GEORGE I WAS IN THE AREA WHERE YOU RAN THE OLYMPIC TORCH I BELIEVE IN 1984 AND THERE WAS A LOT OF YOUR BROTHERS THERE RIDING RIGID FRAMES AND FXR. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CURIOUS LATELY A LOT OF40 AND 50 + YEAR MEMBERS ARE GETTING THE BOOT OR JUST QUITTING.WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A RETIREMENT CHARTER SO MEMBERS CAN DIE WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT? ESPECIALLY TBE ONES WHO PUT IN MOST OF THIER LIFE INTO IT. THANKS GEORGE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
There is a question in here somewhere I am hoping you can comb it out lol Yesterday being the Election in the states got me to thinking... When I grew up in the 60s/70s & had exposure to REAL 1%ers ( some of my friends parents, later buying certain things from some of these guys... i never heard them say a political thing. i am pretty certain none of them voted. I am 100% certain I never heard them talk about it. They just were certain about one thing, no matter who 'The Man' was, Red or Blue, he is not on your side! He will never be on your side. Today I feel like I live in some upside down world where bikers are political. When I was young hippies and bikers got along... they were both anit-authority...
I would be interested in your take Mr. Christie TY Much Respect
When you were hanging out with ? and others before joining a club, what did you wear?
Guss
