#GHOSTIN! Longer you wait longer you work for it the better it feels when you get it. When I prospected for my Club it was long time over one year I had to put in lot of work. Thing is that my Dad was one of the founding members and he didn't want anyone to say my Patch was given to me that I have earned it
You never earned your patch, you bought it from your family You got your Nomad rocker coz you were in the inner sanctum. And you couldn't keep up. You put in work for the Crips and thought that would be enough to transition into the MC life. It doesn't work that way my brother. And now you're making money on something you have limited knowledge on
Never earned a 1% patch. The closest I’ve been to being a 1%er is a United States Marine. I’ve hung around with my share of 1%ers, there’s a mutual respect between vets and 1%ers.
#GHOSTIN, southern Missouri. Honestly, for me, the patches that meant the most to me were my combat patches. When I volunteered to go to war and went. Did it twice in two wars. After 911 only 1% of Americans joined and went to war. Proud to say I did. Once in a lifetime type a thing. I've walked tall in the worst streets in the world, dealin death and ready to die with my brothers. It's something I miss terribly. The brotherhood of suffering and giving your all, day and night. Knowing death is standing there waiting for you to join him. My combat patches, mean a lot to me. I earned them, I had to do real stuff for them. SACRIFICED, so much for them. Anyway, you asked, thats my answer. Much love. -Traveling man, Summerville ldg. 234
@@MGCOHN the only ones that really understand this are those that have been there and done that. Did not collect any T shirts for it either. What branch of service you served in is not a real factor. We are all brothers and sisters from other mothers. We will stand together and have each others backs no questions asked. I am retired Army and will stand next to anyone from another branch of service. The sacrifices the all of us have made for this country, some will never understand, or be able to comprehend what we have been put through. This is how I see life now after being retired for over 20 years.
Good video. This is a life lesson that everybody needs to learn, and, hopefully, they won't have to earn it the hard way. It doesn't matter if you're prospecting for a MC, looking for a promotion in your job, or whatever. You want something that badly you put in the work and you EARN it! NOTHING, and I meanNOTHING is going to just be handed to you. As I've said before, nobody joins the army as a four star general. Once again, good video. Hope the month of December is a good one for you, your family, your friends, and your loved ones. Respect.
Thank you. It’s so cool to hear it from somebody who’s lived the life and earned everything. I’m glad you keep it real. I’ve learned a lot by watching you lately. Thank you.
#GHOSTIN BROTHER Loved the video definitely shedding light on the culture and making sure people ain’t going the wrong way to get there patches. Cause I know I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know about the culture and it’s really helping out a lot of people to do the right way so they ain’t caught up in a bad situation keep doing you brother much love and respect brother.
I have all the respect for the jewelry wearer's but I feel the "lifers" patch is harder to get that takes a certain amount of time and dedication oppose to in some cases a single act
From my perspective just being asked to prospect is an immense honor. As for any other patches that could be earned all things in their proper time. #Ghostin
Love this channel man. It's help me out recently with some gentlemen. I did what you told me I took my hand out of my glove took my sunglasses off and shook their hands very respectful. We had a beer together and went our separate ways. It was a good day
#ghostin from SWFL, as a fan of this channel, I love to hear your personal stories. Not a 1% guy but have ML&R for them and wish I would have known more about them when younger.
I'm not in a club or any organization or the military. It seems to me a special thing getting a patch or being made is something more. Honor and Respect
Great show brother hope all is wel💪🙏been coaching kids and working on some youth projects.Been around the 1%"s my uncle was mom at one time of big 4 club all of best friends are 1%'s Cuts are recieved to quick.My big bro prospects 47 weeks that's after hang around year before.There should be more time to earn it and respect it Alot of guys worked hard for that diamond or even for an mc cut.Kids need to see the journey the risks rewards.GOD BLESS BROTHER STAY BLESSED
Earning my diamond was the hardest thing I have done but as far as the hardest patch I would say it's the 1000mile patch. Very few can do that many miles in one day
Memorial patches! Respecting the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice. Those are very important ones. As for the ones you earn, this is a tough question.
I've never commented on these videos but i will say you are spot on with time spent equating to respect. i became fully patched 13 months from the day i got my P. and i would never hand my shit to anyone. personally im a 99 but i hang out mostly with 1%ers and my brothers. i fucking hate watching clubs hand out a full set in 90 days or right from the jump sometimes and you for sure see a much larger turnover from those clubs. and if you are a P coming from someone who been through it, put your head down, put in work when youre asked and shut the fuck up. my brothers talk about how they didnt even know i had a personality until after i patched because i shut the fuck up constantly,
Exactly. I’m doing the hang around process with a Club right now prospect in October starting the hard work is just honestly gaining respect from all your club members up to the point you get patched in and then you call them your brothers.
I definitely agree with you with it being watered down. I am not in a 1% club nor am I interested in earning a diamond because of my status and job (Military retiree and federal employee) but I am in a club. Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't there two different diamonds, 1% and 1%er?
When i was younger i studied traditional okinawan karate. The Sensei would gladly tell you i was one of his rising stars but he worked his two boys a lot harder than me. He always expected them to be able to keep pace with me because they had 24/7 access to him and to the dojo.
What bothers me is when people hear "outlaw" and assume "criminal". You can work a regular job, and not be a criminal. It's about putting the laws of your club, the patch, the life, above the laws of the government or society. You put in the work, earn the respect of your club, and prove you're gonna be there for life. Just be true to your brothers, true to yourself, and show up and put in the work and the diamond will come to you when it's your time. I grew up around that life, seen a lot of things other civilians don't get to see. I'm going to save up to get on a decent ride and find my place in the life. It's time
Ghosting from south Jersey (the old man) Every path is as different as is the person involved.-. If you don’t / won’t/ can’t put in the work it’s not worth the cloth it’s made from.

Bigg recpect from Holland, your educatig al lot of people. Greetings from National Secratery from a brotherhood (oldschool rule's) I relate....to al lot your saying 🙏
Recently a small contingency in our Association split, one was an ex director of the board, some were previously patch holders who were on probation for long absence re doing their prospecture and a small handful were prospects eager for their centre patches, they split and formed their own club nearby and everyone got their full patch right then and there right out at the onset. In our wider community, they carried this out in full view of everyone else on the scene in all the other clubs who had trod the path to actually earning their colours legit. You can see where Im going with this right? Better to be a lowly prospect in a decent outfit than to be merely a full patch wearer representing a lame one, any day. Its not just about the patch, it-s about being there because you really mean it, period.
It was a good feeling earning the diamond ♦️ but truthfully looking back I have always been a 1%er. But not all diamond clubs makes you earn the diamond a lot of em hand them out with the center patch. I think the best patch out of all of em is the top and center patch. All that Diamonds means is club and brothers first before anything else even tho I already told you I don’t think clubs and 1%ers aren’t the same even during my time in I see it getting weaker and weaker.
As always ,good vid and thanks my brother, i've told you before and i'll say it again. Your a great brother and thanks for schooling all of us, esp the new riders(brothers) we all got each others back in the clinch.👍✌️🤘☠️
There’s a saying, nothing easy is worth having. Having spent many years in the martial arts, I CHERISH all the pain, blood, sweat, injuries, and fear that came with me earning my belts. Especially the last one. Because of that I worked my students mercilessly and they ended up being better practitioners than I. Love this channel. #TacomaWashington
To me it is the lifetime patch. In my club, while you have to totally earn it, we don't just give anything away, but it is just as hard to keep your center patch as it is to earn it. It is total dedication to earn the life patch. Most posers don't make it to earn life patch. #GHOSTIN
#ghostin!! I was hanging around for a year and probated for 9 months to get my Grimm Reaper patch and to me, lifer or the center patch carries the most value to me. I put in the work, I earned it and was my center patch because strictly pride for me. I didn't get the diamond for another 6 months, they made sure you truly EARNED it!
Much love Sose. Lovin the honesty. You said you were talking about the work you did to earn your patch? But you only said it was non criminal, or did I miss somethin? #ghostin 🖤
Great share ~ anything just "given with no effort" just breeds entitlement, If you do not do the "work" and take your time and earn the patch I don't think a person would value and respect the meaning of it ~ if it is just given with little work. The harder you fight for an honor the more you cherish it which breeds a loyality like no other... I always love your shares, always thought provoking and helps understand so much more about the culture, and others stories as well and shares. #Ghostin Much Love ~ Traci
What you actually get around club life, getting your patch instantly would be a very bad idea for you and for the club. There’s a lot that you need to learn. Poitics, how to move in the streets, how to answer certain questions, what questions not to answer, club history etc, etc etc. Doing dumb shit could jeopardize both you and your club. Just the timeframe of prospecting gets you around many other clubs and you get to see how to interact and build relationships. You get taken out of your comfort zone, and learn how to put yourself back in it so that you don’t trip over your own tongue. Earn it the right way, and keep earning it every single day that you’re in the club.
Haven’t ridden yet but I’m on my way. I have a cut from my recently late uncle and a jacket from my recently late father. Both rode Harleys religiously. I’m saving for mine. I want to really get into it. One of my other uncles was a VP for a 99 in my area. I am an army infantry vet and love and miss the brotherhood I had when I was in I want that same thing in this culture I love motorcycles and the happiness I get from seeing those who ride them and how they treat ppl too. #ghostin You teach me a lot sose I want to learn from you in so many ways
If it's your dream, something your sure you really want then all I can say is go for it! It won't be easy, but it shouldn't be! And yes it's one of the greatest moments you will experience in your life!
Getting a side rocker from another charter cuz not only did you have to put the work in for your own crew but you have that love and respect from brothers that aren’t always with you and around you
I always endured more than others, was challenged harder and grilled relentlessly by al those that believed I deserved what I was working to earn. When all was said and done, and I earned that achievement, I had made bonds with a Family of Brothers and Sisters that made the entire experience priceless; teaching me far more than those that just did what they had to do to get by.
As soon as you are no longer a prospect, that's the most important part. From that point on, the rest of the patches that you get are just additions. They are not AS important as when you are no longer a prospect (when you get the name of the club, the emblem of the club and the territory that you represent)
#ghostin For me, the most exciting patch was when I was handed my diamond P patch for when I was in the support club. I had gotten pretty close with the president of that club and he was the one to hand it to me informed me that I had definitely earned it along with the respect from every member of the club. When I moved up to the main club, it isn’t the patches that did it for me, it’s the 1%er diamond pendent that a brother gifted to me and the 1%er ring given to me by my sponsor. I don’t leave the house without either of those no matter where I go
Real Talk,.. There's levels to this sh*t like,.. Hang around to Prospect, Prospect to Top and Bottom, Top and Bottom to Center, Full Set to Diamond and Diamond to Specialty Patch (ie. Officer, Nomad, Gestapo, Filthy Few). There's honor in receiving anything earned no matter the level and it also signifies who you are (ie. soldier, lieutenant, general) in this culture. With that being said I like to fly under the radar in which people know me for who I am and not what I wear. In seeing my leathered and faded cut you can only assume that I put in work and is an OG in this sh*t
#GHOSTIN. The huge similarity between MC and Military is the obvious making the grade. When I was a recruit in the Australian Army I saw Gung Ho types that didn't make it through Rookies simply because they couldn't be trusted to do the bigger job later all because of ego and self image. Of course you know what I'm on about.
Completely agree with the feeling being much better when you earn your patch over time. When I didn’t know anything about the culture, I always asked as a hang around when I could start prospecting. It took a patch to tell me that asking won’t get be anything before I finally learned to just put my work in and shut up. Took over a year to get my patch and I wouldn’t change it if I could. #roaddocs #RFFR #Ghostin
To me there’s 2 types of hardest patches to earn are the ones you’ll never get until you have reached the mentality where there’s no longer any selfish , clout, or personal intentions that come before being there for the better of and the progress of the club. There’s no specific patch that could be for some it’s a diamond, a brotherhood or their center , etc it’s the patch you get that comes about with that final release of any self oriented intentions when you truly have it in your heart . The 2nd hardest patch to earn are memorial patches. I say this because loosing a brother should be the hardest thing you go threw while a member of your club. I also don’t feel they should be handed out just because a bro does while you was a member and feel those who get theirs this way and see it on their vest without really knowing and having that level of bond with that brother before they passed is truly a disrespect to that fallen brother. Tbh the way the culture has got diamonds should damn near just be a 1year anvi patch if your in a 1% . I say this because more diamonds and handed out than earned these days to mfs who without that diamond are like samson with short hair. Also I feel as if there was only one way to earn a diamond was to join and stay member with a 1% for a years time the whole mess of every 99er and socical cluber just wanting that’s diamond because they think it’s for badasses we wouldn’t have these fake diamonds alot of clubs are adopting there’s to much clout on that diamond because most think you gotta kill steal or commit a crime for your club to prove your an outlaw , this is truly because of the AMAs statement about the 99 being law abiding citizens and the 1% being outlaws. Being a outlaw has been to closely related with being a criminal and not being a man who out of 99 other things he could put on for he does it for his club, for his brothers. If you can’t prove that’s where your heart lies in a years time you don’t need to be part of a 1% anyways and if your club isn’t a uniformed 1% (like the pagans are for example , see the difference in a 1%er diamond and 1% diamond for reference here) and your just given a diamond for something easy or for nothing then likely the club your part of is not really a 1% and won’t last longer than the cheap leather vest their patches are on 💯💯
Thanks brother andthanks for the valuable knowledge you’ve given that I’ve learned from these past few years. You taught me a lot about the mentality and purpose of a nomad when I was just a nomad prospect before and you hadn’t got your nomad rocker yet . We might not see eye level on a few things but I know this, i don’t know if anyone that can speak knowledge on as many topics in this culture or that could debate on disagreements with , with respect and professionalism. Big respect
I wonder how many Freemasons found you. Holy Grail of anything is gonna pique their interest, like it did me. After serving two tours, decided that maybe there's another way to win hearts and minds, and not by death and mayhem. I liked earning stripes, actually got more respect with each, didn't care about the pay (E-2 in the late '80's, not much money to care about). I became a 32 degree Scottish Rite freemason. Lots of talk about Templars there, York Rite makes you a Knight's Templar. You can't ask about your 33rd degree either. That comes down from the "most high." Your cousin did you right bro. Mentors are great especially those that care like your cousin. I don't know, seems every patch or promotion I ever earned I held them all in high esteem. If its got my blood on it, it didn't come easy. I don't give that stuff out freely, I only get 7 pints? Quarts? Whatever, it's a limited supply and try to hang on to all I can. There's a lot of vets in Masonry too. There's a difference in a person who is taught appreciation. Those who can appreciate can see those that don't. Makes ya a great Mentor too.
Now i can't talk about other clubs, cause i don't know all clubs, and their patches... But ! for me, the highest level one can earn, is the ( Year Marks ) We had it in my club, and i know that the 81's do too... Like the ( 35 Year Head ) That is astonishing, i do not believe that they are handed out like candy, You really gotta earn getting them, but there's nothing more O.G. than a Veteran... - Stay Blessed - - Peace - 🙏❤✌
Prospecting is twice as hard and rough if you have a close friend or family member already in the club lol. They're going to ride you double hard to make sure nobody can say they took it easy on you. They're making sure nobody can say you didn't earn it

I think the Prospect patch is hard to get because if they don’t think you belong you would even get that far.
Very true
Yeah it’s hardest to keep because even as a brother your still a prospect
That is a good point. And they sure make u work for that first patch.
YES and leaving your EGO and judgement at the door will help greatly!👍

What bothers me is when people hear "outlaw" and assume "criminal". You can work a regular job, and not be a criminal. It's about putting the laws of your club, the patch, the life, above the laws of the government or society. You put in the work, earn the respect of your club, and prove you're gonna be there for life. Just be true to your brothers, true to yourself, and show up and put in the work and the diamond will come to you when it's your time.

Recently a small contingency in our Association split, one was an ex director of the board, some were previously patch holders who were on probation for long absence re doing their prospecture and a small handful were prospects eager for their centre patches, they split and formed their own club nearby and everyone got their full patch right then and there right out at the onset. In our wider community, they carried this out in full view of everyone else on the scene in all the other clubs who had trod the path to actually earning their colours legit. You can see where Im going with this right? Better to be a lowly prospect in a decent outfit than to be merely a full patch wearer representing a lame one, any day. Its not just about the patch, it-s about being there because you really mean it, period.
Great episode. Respect #Ghostin

#ghostin appreciate you
#GHOSTIN Love your work man. Northeast PA here 🤘
It was a good feeling earning the diamond ♦️ but truthfully looking back I have always been a 1%er. But not all diamond clubs makes you earn the diamond a lot of em hand them out with the center patch. I think the best patch out of all of em is the top and center patch. All that Diamonds means is club and brothers first before anything else even tho I already told you I don’t think clubs and 1%ers aren’t the same even during my time in I see it getting weaker and weaker.
Def bro
As always ,good vid and thanks my brother, i've told you before and i'll say it again. Your a great brother and thanks for schooling all of us, esp the new riders(brothers) we all got each others back in the clinch.👍✌️🤘☠️
appreciate you
There’s a saying, nothing easy is worth having. Having spent many years in the martial arts, I CHERISH all the pain, blood, sweat, injuries, and fear that came with me earning my belts. Especially the last one. Because of that I worked my students mercilessly and they ended up being better practitioners than I. Love this channel. #TacomaWashington
Thank you
To me it is the lifetime patch. In my club, while you have to totally earn it, we don't just give anything away, but it is just as hard to keep your center patch as it is to earn it. It is total dedication to earn the life patch. Most posers don't make it to earn life patch. #GHOSTIN
#ghostin!! I was hanging around for a year and probated for 9 months to get my Grimm Reaper patch and to me, lifer or the center patch carries the most value to me. I put in the work, I earned it and was my center patch because strictly pride for me. I didn't get the diamond for another 6 months, they made sure you truly EARNED it!
Brother you’re doing great work. I’m not in a club but watching your channel is very informative and you’ve earned every bit of respect. 🤝💪🏽 #Ghostin
Appreciate you brother
Yo Sose. I totally agree with. You gotta earn it for it to mean something and for you to give it greater respect it.
Safe rides 👍🤜
much respect
My Guy Sose rocking that Raiders Cap! Keeping it Black and White. SYLM much L&R From Florida.
Much love
The Lonewolf patch 😂😂😂 I’m just fucking around with you lol
Much love Sose.
Lovin the honesty. You said you were talking about the work you did to earn your patch? But you only said it was non criminal, or did I miss somethin?
#ghostin 🖤
Great video brother. #GHOSTIN.
Great share ~ anything just "given with no effort" just breeds entitlement, If you do not do the "work" and take your time and earn the patch I don't think a person would value and respect the meaning of it ~ if it is just given with little work. The harder you fight for an honor the more you cherish it which breeds a loyality like no other... I always love your shares, always thought provoking and helps understand so much more about the culture, and others stories as well and shares. #Ghostin Much Love ~ Traci
What you actually get around club life, getting your patch instantly would be a very bad idea for you and for the club. There’s a lot that you need to learn. Poitics, how to move in the streets, how to answer certain questions, what questions not to answer, club history etc, etc etc. Doing dumb shit could jeopardize both you and your club. Just the timeframe of prospecting gets you around many other clubs and you get to see how to interact and build relationships. You get taken out of your comfort zone, and learn how to put yourself back in it so that you don’t trip over your own tongue. Earn it the right way, and keep earning it every single day that you’re in the club.
Truth
#GHOSTIN down Tn way #FitW ML&R ; keep bringing that truth & light#Lifer
Haven’t ridden yet but I’m on my way.
I have a cut from my recently late uncle and a jacket from my recently late father. Both rode Harleys religiously.
I’m saving for mine. I want to really get into it.
One of my other uncles was a VP for a 99 in my area.
I am an army infantry vet and love and miss the brotherhood I had when I was in I want that same thing in this culture I love motorcycles and the happiness I get from seeing those who ride them and how they treat ppl too.
#ghostin
You teach me a lot sose I want to learn from you in so many ways
#Ghostin new in Ocala Florida.Your a wealth of knowledge Rock and Roll !!!
#ghostin appreciate you
#GHOSTIN
Nothing worth having comes easy brother!
Definitely need to put in the work or you will never appreciate it.
My step-dad was a 1%er miss him so much. He's been gone 15 years now. Never rode a motorcycle again. I miss it. 😔
If it's your dream, something your sure you really want then all I can say is go for it!
It won't be easy, but it shouldn't be!
And yes it's one of the greatest moments you will experience in your life!
Truth
Getting a side rocker from another charter cuz not only did you have to put the work in for your own crew but you have that love and respect from brothers that aren’t always with you and around you
Followthis page yall this is the riding page!
I always endured more than others, was challenged harder and grilled relentlessly by al those that believed I deserved what I was working to earn. When all was said and done, and I earned that achievement, I had made bonds with a Family of Brothers and Sisters that made the entire experience priceless; teaching me far more than those that just did what they had to do to get by.
Thats awesome
"What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value..."
Nothing has value till you put value to it !
Nuff said . # Ghostin
I love that
Getting a broken skull patches the best patch I got two f****** metal plates on my head from the last motorcycle crash
#GHOSTIN...Another great show.
Never earned a 1 percenter patch, earned my Bubble (Combat diver) badge and Airborne wings.....never had that that opportunity!
As soon as you are no longer a prospect, that's the most important part. From that point on, the rest of the patches that you get are just additions. They are not AS important as when you are no longer a prospect (when you get the name of the club, the emblem of the club and the territory that you represent)
#ghostin For me, the most exciting patch was when I was handed my diamond P patch for when I was in the support club. I had gotten pretty close with the president of that club and he was the one to hand it to me informed me that I had definitely earned it along with the respect from every member of the club. When I moved up to the main club, it isn’t the patches that did it for me, it’s the 1%er diamond pendent that a brother gifted to me and the 1%er ring given to me by my sponsor. I don’t leave the house without either of those no matter where I go
I wear a Diamond 13 as I'm support for a big Club. That Diamond 13 is VERY important next to the Diamond 1%. Will roll up one day.
Real Talk,..
There's levels to this sh*t like,.. Hang around to Prospect, Prospect to Top and Bottom, Top and Bottom to Center, Full Set to Diamond and Diamond to Specialty Patch (ie. Officer, Nomad, Gestapo, Filthy Few). There's honor in receiving anything earned no matter the level and it also signifies who you are (ie. soldier, lieutenant, general) in this culture. With that being said I like to fly under the radar in which people know me for who I am and not what I wear. In seeing my leathered and faded cut you can only assume that I put in work and is an OG in this sh*t
When I see a cut covered in patches, All I see is achievements and accomplishments.
I tried riding a cycle, but damn near flipped it on gravel. First time I ever tried riding.
#GHOSTIN. The huge similarity between MC and Military is the obvious making the grade. When I was a recruit in the Australian Army I saw Gung Ho types that didn't make it through Rookies simply because they couldn't be trusted to do the bigger job later all because of ego and self image. Of course you know what I'm on about.
I’m a 1%er and the most important thing for me was when I earned my full patches for the best club in the world 🌍
Love this stuff my dad sold his Harley Davidson because of his hip and he is 74 and sad about it
I love the sub culture. Before I put patches on my cut ii asked! I know what I cant do. The guy said what I can . I respect the life
Luv that Hat Homie!!! RN4L 🤘🏼☠️🤘🏼
🤘🤘🤘
Nice Video of You Riding with the Skull Mask,
#GHOSTIN.. finally the first to comment 💪🏼
The tab, beret and eventually patch for my club…
The Special Forces MC. All of us are Green Berets.
Completely agree with the feeling being much better when you earn your patch over time. When I didn’t know anything about the culture, I always asked as a hang around when I could start prospecting. It took a patch to tell me that asking won’t get be anything before I finally learned to just put my work in and shut up. Took over a year to get my patch and I wouldn’t change it if I could. #roaddocs #RFFR #Ghostin
To me there’s 2 types of hardest patches to earn are the ones you’ll never get until you have reached the mentality where there’s no longer any selfish , clout, or personal intentions that come before being there for the better of and the progress of the club. There’s no specific patch that could be for some it’s a diamond, a brotherhood or their center , etc it’s the patch you get that comes about with that final release of any self oriented intentions when you truly have it in your heart .
The 2nd hardest patch to earn are memorial patches. I say this because loosing a brother should be the hardest thing you go threw while a member of your club. I also don’t feel they should be handed out just because a bro does while you was a member and feel those who get theirs this way and see it on their vest without really knowing and having that level of bond with that brother before they passed is truly a disrespect to that fallen brother.
Tbh the way the culture has got diamonds should damn near just be a 1year anvi patch if your in a 1% . I say this because more diamonds and handed out than earned these days to mfs who without that diamond are like samson with short hair. Also I feel as if there was only one way to earn a diamond was to join and stay member with a 1% for a years time the whole mess of every 99er and socical cluber just wanting that’s diamond because they think it’s for badasses we wouldn’t have these fake diamonds alot of clubs are adopting there’s to much clout on that diamond because most think you gotta kill steal or commit a crime for your club to prove your an outlaw , this is truly because of the AMAs statement about the 99 being law abiding citizens and the 1% being outlaws. Being a outlaw has been to closely related with being a criminal and not being a man who out of 99 other things he could put on for he does it for his club, for his brothers. If you can’t prove that’s where your heart lies in a years time you don’t need to be part of a 1% anyways and if your club isn’t a uniformed 1% (like the pagans are for example , see the difference in a 1%er diamond and 1% diamond for reference here) and your just given a diamond for something easy or for nothing then likely the club your part of is not really a 1% and won’t last longer than the cheap leather vest their patches are on 💯💯
Great words
Thanks brother andthanks for the valuable knowledge you’ve given that I’ve learned from these past few years. You taught me a lot about the mentality and purpose of a nomad when I was just a nomad prospect before and you hadn’t got your nomad rocker yet . We might not see eye level on a few things but I know this, i don’t know if anyone that can speak knowledge on as many topics in this culture or that could debate on disagreements with , with respect and professionalism. Big respect
I wonder how many Freemasons found you. Holy Grail of anything is gonna pique their interest, like it did me. After serving two tours, decided that maybe there's another way to win hearts and minds, and not by death and mayhem. I liked earning stripes, actually got more respect with each, didn't care about the pay (E-2 in the late '80's, not much money to care about). I became a 32 degree Scottish Rite freemason. Lots of talk about Templars there, York Rite makes you a Knight's Templar.
You can't ask about your 33rd degree either. That comes down from the "most high."
Your cousin did you right bro. Mentors are great especially those that care like your cousin.
I don't know, seems every patch or promotion I ever earned I held them all in high esteem. If its got my blood on it, it didn't come easy. I don't give that stuff out freely, I only get 7 pints? Quarts? Whatever, it's a limited supply and try to hang on to all I can.
There's a lot of vets in Masonry too.
There's a difference in a person who is taught appreciation. Those who can appreciate can see those that don't. Makes ya a great Mentor too.
Now i can't talk about other clubs, cause i don't know all clubs, and their patches...
But ! for me, the highest level one can earn, is the
( Year Marks )
We had it in my club, and i know that the 81's do too...
Like the
( 35 Year Head )
That is astonishing, i do not believe that they are handed out like candy, You really gotta earn getting them, but there's nothing more O.G. than a Veteran...

🙏❤✌
Stay blessed
Prospecting is twice as hard and rough if you have a close friend or family member already in the club lol. They're going to ride you double hard to make sure nobody can say they took it easy on you. They're making sure nobody can say you didn't earn it
Always putting it down with bad ass content!!!!#rayo
That black n White Tee looks sick!
Thank you
Seems like I’ve been watching you forever love these videos man also where did you love your skull face cover need to find one of them
I respect you 💯 my dude. I'm from the x, and I know about the life #ridemorepoliticless
#ghostin
Much love
Gotta earn it. There is no other way. You are completely right Sose. Respect is earned not given.
In my opinion it would the ⚡️⚡️ patch is the hardest. Can't exactly say what you have to do on this platform, but it ain't easy.
In nz the bikers stay pretty quiet but the gangs are killing each other left right and center. I live in an average area few week ago there was an execution at my corner shop just one of many in fued
