- While visiting a Motorcycle Riders Memorial, I had an experience with a Motorcycle Club. It was my first experience and I learned a ton about this one in particular. In this video, I will share my experience about my first Motorcycle Club encounter.
They invited me in and agreed to talk on camera about their club, introduce me to the VP and past President and showed me the clubhouse. Come join me for a super positive experience and an interview with a Motorcycle Club VP.

You bet, some good guys for sure and the wall is cool. Appreciate you stopping in and ride safe
As someone who grew up around clubs I flinched after you asked most of the questions you asked... 😂😂😂 Great group of guys. Very understanding and patient.
They were good guys and taught me up in a way that was not harmful, ha ha. It was definitely a discussion before going in
I absolutely love that no one was too important to labor for the club. A VP who is flipping hamburgers, a P who is working just like any prospect would, founders pouring concrete - it's not about ego with those guys. Much respect for guys like that!
Totally agree and all seemed like good guys.
A VP of some made up bs with no money. Yeah real important
@@petep5003 do you need someone to pet you on the head and tell you what a big bad biker you are? Or that you are so much more important than the VP of another club? Maybe we can find someone who cares.
I’d be honored to know any of these men.. family and work first! I love and respect that
Seem like good people
They should be Proud of the Wall it is a Great Memorial for otherwise forgotten Riders! Awesome!👍💯🇺🇸😎
Totally agree, very nice of the club
@@BoDean52 thanks for sharing the video! It was 😎
I was a kid in Dundalk MD in the 70s, thought it was cool as could be when I'd see the KNIGHTS coming down the road. I'm 60 now and still have great respect for them.
Been years since I have been that way, these folks were nice. Ride safe
Maryland gang!
The were super chill, they recognized you're inexperience and, "fragility," and pampered you like they would an abandoned puppy. 🤣🤣🤣
Much respect.
And that is what I was for sure 😂
Very cool interview. Seems like a good bunch of guys
thanks and seemed like good guys, fun experience for me.
Love this video. Don't think it was luck how you stumbled on to that place. Love that those were so cool guys have a club that looks & feels solid. Kudos to those guys & your experience BoDean!
Thanks and yeah they were good guys, we as a good experience. Ride safe and thanks for checking it out.
Nice intro to this MC. Respect always goes both ways, and if everyone approached each other with that interest just to listen and learn, there wouldn't be such a stigma.
Definitely wanted to show the respect and your right, we got that back
This was excellent. Loved the interview and the extra detail that they shared. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Appreciate that John, was a cool experience
I live in Florida but was born in Coldwater, Michigan. I will be retiring in a couple of years and was planning to ride back to Michigan to see family and friends and would love to go see the wall! Thanks for a great video.
Thanks Jeff I really appreciate that and I think it’s a must see. Let us know when you get back in town
Great video! You know we need more of what you seen here open up front respectful people doing good things in a crazy ass world that has not much honest respect for about anything. The motorcycle community has always showed me the best of people sure you will always have a few that are hard nosed but for the most just great people thanks for posting
TOTALLY agree.....and one of the things I felt there, respect
Seems like a good group of guys. I don’t think I’d ever be in a club though. Must just be me because I just never seem to click or fit in with larger groups, be it motorcyclists or other types of groups. I’m fine with having a few good riding buddies. Actually as I get older I prefer to spend time doing things with my wife…
Totally get that and I think if younger I would have interest. I like riding with new folks at times but do prefer 2-3 the best. You fit in with us for sure though Craig 👍
What you're saying is... You're an actual adult.
@Caesar looks like he's just a basic troll.
Moving forward, don't react to what they say. The common internet troll gets sexually aroused from being acknowledged.
You may have unwittingly contributed to the defiling of his grandma's underwear drawer. (Joking/not joking).
That was a good interview. It seemed they where really glad you guys stopped by to see the wall. And inviting you into the clubhouse very cool.
Thanks and yeah they were super cool and was informative. Ride safe!
Idk why this 2 year old vid came up in my feed but gotta say this looks like a damn cool club! Hope they’re still riding!
I think they are and have a lot of events and fundraising. Thanks for watching.
Very nice! Cool interview. Seem like a nice group of people. Might have to take some time and check out that wall. Thank you for sharing!
When you guys come down to ride, we will swing by
@@BoDean52 That would be cool. We need to pick a day and get that ride in.
WOW, what a cool day, seemed like some really good people too. The wall is such a great thing. Thanks for sharing, Patrick
Was a cool experience Patrick and for them to let me take video to share the good about the club was all a bonus. Ride safe
@@BoDean52 it was fantastic they were so accommodating!
I hang out with some of these guys sometimes. Very cool group of people. I fully support knights of the road
They were welcoming despite my lack of experience around a MC
Wow, club was established in 1940! Good group of guys. Super nice clubhouse too.
Agree was a cool place and experience. Ride safe and I’m enjoying your videos
@@BoDean52 shiney side up 👊🏻 thanks, after a long break from TH-cam it’s nice to be creative again.
Another good memorial wall is in Hopedale, Ohio! Motorcyclist Memorial Foundation at the Hopedale American Legion. We have a massive fallen riders wall area.
I appreciate you telling me about that, I would want to visit that wall
Tons of beautiful roads in Ohio..sr800, oh 7, us250, us33, the Ohio river scenic byway is awesome..some places give me that rt66 type feel...
Thanks for those road tips, we road the 555 last year and loved the area and roads. Just did not on enough of them. Planning on it this summer!
How cool that you stumbled on this MC. They look like a really cool bunch of guys and was surprised to hear that they celebrated their 80th anniversary.
Was a cool experience for sure.
Yep hubby answers between 1 and million for the clubs member count. He enjoyed watching this video and will be subscribing.
That’s very nice of him and they were pretty good to me considering my questions
Wow, what a different perspective of a MC. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe.
I felt the same Bob, hope your well
Good to see Dan! I’m still wearing the Reed leather Dan traded me! Godspeed!
That’s cool…..seemed like good guy. Ride safe
The clubs I have met have all been amazing. They are good people. Might be a bit rough sometimes and unexpected, though good people. 😎🏍🖤
totally agree and they were good people
Says the hot blonde who of course they're nice too 😆
It was great of the club to let you in the club house, let alone let you film them! Respect! Awesome Wall of honor
Thanks Tommy and I did a lot of asking before I did this
@@BoDean52 I know you did!! Good guys
Great job interviewing, if you ever find yourself traveling through Florida, stop by scooter haven Country club in inglis,fl. Alot of history there. I'm positive that the owner who does almost daily live feeds on fb, you can find their page, would be more than happy to collaborate an interview with you.
Will do for sure and will check them out, thanks!
Nothing like the brotherhood of a MC!!
I thought we were talking 3 patch when I seen your post for this!!!
Good interview!!!
Thank you ma’am....ride safe
Love the bike, man. Great ride. Not quite my style for riding but I love to look at it. Great video.
Appreciate that, ride safe
I grew up in fowlerville and graduated in 2005, how the hell did I not know about this mc lol. Every summer fowlerville would get flooded with bikers thanks to easy riders at the fairgrounds but still. Havent been back home in a lot of years, it might be time to come visit the wall.
Come back and see it and I always heard about the summer event but never made it up there. Maybe this year, ride safe Steve
Great video sir. I have always been fascinated with the MC culture. I really enjoyed listening to the interview!
Thanks Ty and same here, was a cool experience
I grew up around bikes and bikers in south Jersey and have been riding most of my life. I'm not patched into an MC and I don't have a problem with those that are. I have friends in MC's, RC's and MO's and have been invited to join their respective clubs but haven't taken up the offers. It's unfortunate that the stigma or stereotypical assumptions made about bikers being trouble still exists to some degree. The Harley craze of the 90's added to that by way of The RUB (rich urban biker) dropping big bucks for bikes and bling and gear (Harley, Dealerships and Vendors capitalized on them) to ride around being wild acting tough and badass on the weekends and also going to rallies raising hell and just plain being stupid. Respect is earned, it's not a given in any part of life. Bob you showed respect to the club in this video and you learned a bit. Good interview Sir!!
Thanks Dusty I appreciate that, was a cool experience
Great stuff Bob. I am a charter member of our local Red Knights chapter as well as our local HOG chapter. MC’s are great as long as you find the right fit.
Totally agree and the fit probably takes time to access
Great little Video... I was actually in Fowlerville this morning.. Drove up from Savannah and am Camping in Byron Mi for the summer!
Thanks and that sounds great, you know the area much. Cool leather place up there. Ride safe and enjoy the summer
Nice club house! Guys seemed super nice. Love the history and culture
Was a cool day for sure and good experience!
Wow Sparrows Point I haven’t heard that in awhile, I worked at the Bethlehem Steel plant in Bethlehem Pa 👍
Yeah....used to be such an active place. Ride safe
Wow! Really good video and a very good MC. Those guys were great to you!
Thanks man, was a cool experience
That was cool!...helps show the other side!...thanks for sharing!!...stay safe...ride safe!!😎🤙👍🤙👍🇨🇦
Thanks brother, appreciate that
Inappropriate questions to a club but they stayed friendly and sounded welcoming
They were great despite my inexperience
Thats very rare for a MC to do that. You got really lucky to run into them. It seems like they really get how things have changed over the years.
Agree and was a positive experience
What was so rare?
Great video Bob! Next time we visit my wife’s family in ‘Michigan we will check out the wall…
Please do! Appreciate you Bill
We have ridden with many MC's and were recruited by 3, we politely declined the invite to join. All of them were very nice people. The general public think most MC's are bad in one form or another. It's fantactic that you had an opportunity to talk/interview them. Most people have no idea what MC's are about because they are afraid to seek the truth. I watch WildOn2s Vlog and he dispel many misconceptions about 1%ers.
Great job Bob
Thanks guys and I watch WildOn2 as well, always good information
Great video, lovely memorial, nice folk and great insights. 👍
Thanks sir and hope your family is well, ride safe
nice bunch of guys.
For sure!
Great of them to have the wall.
Agree, it's pretty cool
Solid job Bob on the interview. Great group and I hope you ate some of his food.
Thanks and we did not, that had a working crew and sure they cooked them for their members. They were so nice enough with their time, I wanted to respect what they had going.
Interviews are not always a very easy thing to do Good job Bob
Thanks Kevin and glad to see you got out for a ride
Looks like a bunch of great guys Sir!
Totally agree and appreciate that
They put up with ...... ! Enough said. Cool MC history.
Yup
Interesting video Bob. Had a brain fart at the end when you were on your bike. I seen the mirrors and thought you changed them. Then I realized you were on the Road King. Bit of a long ride for me tomorrow, 500 miles to cover. It will start off on the cool side as the forecast is showing about 36 F at 7:30am when we plan to hit the road.
Have a great ride and be safe. Duke needed some love so he got the ride
Awesome video Bob, informative and respectful 😎👍🏼
Thanks Bert....was cool experience
Great Video @bodean 52
thanks man!
Great video. I am riding out of Almont MI and was aware of the memorial.
Thanks and it’s not that far from me so surprised I didn’t know about it
@@BoDean52 I’ll check it out
just found the channel from professional monkey stream..im new rider ..i used to live above the bloated goat there in town..nice meeting ya local rider
Thanks for stopping in and he’s a great guy. Congrats on starting to ride, it’s an addiction
Damn every time you asked how many members they had I cringed so hard it’s awesome there very chill and didn’t tell you to stop asking about or leave
Yeah.....I learned for sure.....make me cringe looking back
That was pretty cool to get a chance to experience the club.
for sure and a total surprise
looks like some good guys , a real plus for the biker community
Was a cool experience and the wall is incredible
I’m about 45 min away, I need to check this memorial out.
Worth the stop Dave!
Nice, informative look into an MC. I doubt I’ll join one (there is a local riding club), but I’m more of a lone rider and would rather ride than go to a meeting or hang out.
Totally get that and not for everyone, I fall in the same line as you. Hope your well John
Great vlog Bob
Thanks Flip
Looks like a good group of bikers.
Seem to be good folks
Well done tour - Very cool 😎
Thanks Gary, hope your well
Did you tip the jar Bob? They were very friendly club and most family clubs are. If you ever go back to visit on open house be respectful and buy a couple drinks. Make sure to tip the jar. Usually tips used for helping members and not the club. Hardships, legal fees, etc, etc..
Appreciate the advise, they are good folks there
Good video Bob, most MC clubs are good people,and these guys seem to be some pretty good folk's, Good video Brother,💯
Thanks brother that seems like a good group for sure. Ride safe
Thanks for sharing 👍.
Thanks for checking it out Larry
I see you're hanging out with Nick the noob do you know big D from freedom cruisers out of Dundee I'm out of chapter 20 very interesting video loved it I'll be watching your channel from now on I came from monkeys channel you're obviously out of Michigan I'm from Warren
Hi Gary and thanks for stopping by. I know Big D from TH-cam and the three of us were able to do this ride together. We have not been able to catch up since but good guys. Always great seeing other MI riders.
Loved it...!!!
Thanks Judi!
Sweet fowlerville! From flint my self!
Not far at all and I’ve never been to the big bike rally up there, have you?
Grate vid I had no idea that the wall was there
Thanks Ken and worth the stop
Glad I happened across this video, Bob. Nice interview, with what seem like decent guys. The clubhouse was really nice, well lit, and remarkably clean for a biker clubhouse. It's been roughly 40 years since I've been in an M.C. clubhouse, I was invited by a friend to go. I won't get into who they are, but they are a 1% MC and the place was nasty. It was dirty, smelled like a warm mixture of stale beer and piss. Some dude was, um, let's just say, having intimate relations with a girl on the couch in front of everybody. It was not a place I wanted to hang around. Most of them seemed like OK dudes, but some of them....I would keep my distance. Y'all ride safe.
Thanks I appreciate this and they seemed like a guys, it was an interesting experience for me
Born central Md. Drilled water wells there and Pa. 30 years. Worked Harley York screw machines, union good pay less than year. Bought leftover fxe while there. $500 rebate, 20% employee discount. 81 80ci
Nice and I spent 25 years in the HVAC business
That was really interesting. Great job!
Thanks man and hope Jersey is treating you well
BoDean , pretty wild i watched a video about protocol and dude linked your channel. Pretty wild because I'm also in Michigan. Im in Fowlerville all the time , Livingston Leather saws all our patches on ! Hopefully we can hook up . Im a member of a local club .
Thats cool and yeah Professional Monkey is a buddy of mine. Livingston Leathers is the only place to buy leather and get work done I say. Doing a few trips here in the next month but after that, ride sounds good
That riders wall is an amazing idea.
It so is and many are not aware of it. Ride safe!
@@BoDean52 Not seen anything like it over here in the UK
Great respectful video.
Appreciate that Dana
Really enjoyed the video, nice work. Seems like a person wouldn’t want to prod for info from those guys and just let the conversation flow and see what comes out. Thanks BoDean52.
Exactly! Was a cool day for sure, ride safe
There is no info to prod out of them they are public service club
Hear Some tool om the background. Love that
Thanks for checking it out
Love the road king classic
Thanks and me too, I’ll keep that bike for life
They seem like a good group of guys
They definitely were, it was a cool experience
Might have to make a weekend trip over there
Worth the stop for sure, many folks do not know it’s there
Cool video 👍😎👊
Thanks!
I think this is a great cause and the club members seem to be level headed.
In general, I carry a lot of reservations around with me regarding clubs or organizations. Most go into the direction that your buddy ProMonk showed in his videos about that subject. Strict rules, do's and don't's, code of conduct (really, are we here at work?🤦♂️) and all that good stuff ... to me, a world with seven seals.
I can accept the hierarchical organization as that is required to have some sort of structure inside the club to get things done. But sticking to titles or functions and that sort, where you ride in a column is based on your rank in the organization, speak only if you are asked, don't wear a patch or a kind of patch or look angry (what are the people doing that were born with a facial expression that can be interpreted as angry or serious) or you get beaten up, blablabla is so not my cup of tea.
I do not need someone to tell me what I gotta do or not, I have my babe doing that and she earns that right because she puts up with a crap shoot like me.
Anyways, just my .02$. Thanks for shooting that great video, Bob and a great example of a club that I would consider to join because it support a great cause.
I’m totally with you and I am not a fit for many of those same reasons but at least these guys get that. Not for everyone for sure plus like you said we have our wives 😂😂
Is That, Dan Shardan of Shardan Leathers. the first guy in video!
Not sure but they were all good guys. Thanks for watching
Great video buddy
Thank you sir!
I find the only clubs that have issues with you asking about how many members they have are outlaws. 99% clubs generally don’t have an issue since they could care less about claiming territory
New to me for sure and they did not seem like outlaws. Was a cool experience and the wall is pretty amazing
@@BoDean52 they seemed like really solid guys to me!
Seems like a good club
They seemed like good guys for sure
I can hear pneuma played there 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for watching
Good video BoDean 52.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Jim
Looked like a group of good people. Are you thinking about joining?
I am not but I was impressed by them
They seem like a good group of riders. Is it all Harley Davidson or non brand specific? Are you joining? The wall is impressive. I enjoyed the video.
This is a motorcycle club and not a riders club, difference for sure. The wall is awesome and a good group of guys
I just rejoined a ladies club myself. Really liked this interview! Are you going to try it out?
I probably will not, mostly the time commitment for me. How is the ladies club?
@@BoDean52 Understandable. Ladies club is great. I enjoy the friendships. 👍🏻
Respect to you and the non d-bags in clubs. But these hardcore clubs living in an archaic mindset are a joke. 12 of us can beat up 1 guy for "disrespect" are just a bunch of cunts
@@captainthruster9484 I’m definitely not in a club anything like that, but I know the kind you mean.
Great MC and clubhouse, I must admit I did cringed just a little bit, appreciate you addressing the appropriate questions. But you don't know what you don't know. And that's okay.
Learning opportunity for me for sure, was great experience
Cool video. I am ignorant of MC culture, so any information is welcome…
thanks and I got some education as well
Looks like a pretty cool club , you thinking about joining ? I’ve been wondering about finding some clubs around here just to have some people to ride with. Be safe . Did you ever put those new stickers in the mail yet? Later. 😎👍
Hi Steve and yes some cool people. Probably not joining but if I considered it, lots to think about, understand and get to know them. There is a Michigan Riding Club that I have been riding with some and probably the best fit. Sure I sent them out awhile back but I’m going to resend right away, appreciate you and feel bad you don’t have them!
Thank you. We have the local hog chapter but it’s an hour away . I’m coming there to Indy in a few weeks to see some family and see my folks graves . I would love a chance to meet up with you if just for dinner or so lunch on my way thru . I can let you know more here in 2 weeks . Please let me know what your schedule looks like . Take care Brother. 😎👍
wheww...and I thought you might have pissed off some Mongols members.... 😂🤣
No....but I have been watching MC videos since I met this club 🤦♂️
@@BoDean52 I'll keep an eye out for sales on cuts ...... 👀
This club is cool, it's a non profit org that does lots of charity. They aren't a 1% and if you google them thee are newspaper articles about how they good guys who steer clear of trouble and shit like that which is great ...Asking them how many members is not a big deal , they aren't the Pagans and obviously didn't seem to care.
Everyone seemed cool and they are know for community support. Thanks and ride safe
Professional Monkey (YT channel which brought me here) says you should be careful about calling yourself a "club". Have I got that right?
You do and I think Professional Monkey video is right on!
@@BoDean52 So do we assume that this club has sort of got a nod from the local 1%ers (assuming there are some in that area)?
I'm interested because I am a member of an incorporated social MC club and there are certain things we can't do without bringing down the wrath of certain 1%ers, however I didn't know about the "club" bit. AFAIK we are good as long as we don't wear rockers and certain smaller patches. Our logo patch is fine (at least officially it has been to date although I suppose someone might take offence at some point in the future). FWIW I don't wear patches just to make it clear I'm NOT trying to appear outlaw LoL.
Right. Because.... Douchebags. I'm all for brotherhood, but being a bunch of people looking for trouble because you have numbers is just fucking lame
@@shegocrazy lol telling other people what they can and can't wear. What a fucking joke
@@captainthruster9484 It is ...but I sit in the "not worth dying over" camp.
Cool video, I enjoyed it very much. That gives a thumbs up and the red button I also pressed. Maybe you like my channel too, I would be happy. Then until later and best wishes Heiko
Thanks for watching
