As a paralyzed disabled veteran, I've learned to just keep my mouth shut, respect all people, and try to educate myself as much as possible. I'm not able to travel very far but being from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Myrtle Beach Bike Week has always been one of the best times ever.
@@deplorableredneck4.02 My apologies for your disabilities. Just take one day at a time. Once you get your strength back then come on back to Myrtle Beach. Because MB is still alot of fun.
Disables as well, & jonesing for 2 wheels so damn bad, I'm bout ready to take a hostage or something. Anyway, I give everybody due respect just for being a fellow human bean, & leave it to them to earn my disrespect. Should that happen, I just disassociate from them as much as possible because, despite the well articulated arguments from the voices in my head, most idiots are not worth wearing orange over.
Just found and subscribed. Love it! I’m not a member of any mc’s, mo’s etc but I’ve been riding for over 5 decades, currently a 2003 Road King. I’m almost 70 years old and it is very refreshing to see and hear your straight forward honesty and compassion to those folks who love the wind in the face.
That's really cool that you go into such detail about all the respect aspects of the culture, because as long as I've been around it, nobody has ever brought to light the whole "name dropping" topic while I've been at clubhouses and parties or get togethers of any sort. And the way you discuss it in many different videos makes a lot of sense. For years I had no clue I was doing anything wrong by saying I knew someone. Thank you for shedding light on a subject that is clearly not discussed near enough in my area among the community
Like they say, $30 grand and 30 miles don't make you a biker. How does that poser go from asking if it was a real club to claiming he knows the founder and trained a bunch of members? Asshat supreme! Thanks for the great videos.
Shout out from Bangkok, Thailand. Thanks for representing the best of MC. Thanks for helping educate about subjects that most just go violent about. Just to share my experience of the clubs here ... most (I would say 'all' but nothing is absolute) of the clubs here are about service to the community for those who are old, sick or poor. Not many 'gatherings' or 'rides' that include thousands that I've been to - but I'm a newbie here (10 yrs in country) - looking forward to what this 63yr old can see next year. Thanks for the work that you and your organization do. I am familiar.
I 1000% agree take of your kids regardless. Even if they are not yours. I have mad respect for everyone out there being a dad for their own kids and the guys who take care of kids that aren’t “theirs”. Mad respect to all of the bonus parents out there( men and women)
I agree! It's a true sighn of maturity and EXPERIENCE! If you can walk away from a most obviouse altercation showing your the better dog - You have been around long enough to already know you are the better dog. And have no reason to prove it. Props to the boss on that one. Soooo many would have left this guy spitting teeth.
Life was so much simpler in the 60s and 70s when me and me Greaser mates rode. We were the filthiest bunch of saddle tramps you could ever meet. We never wore a back patch, but we wore the front two diamond patches, 13 and 1%, simply because we smoked the M and never followed any rules other than our own. We had no leader, but the toughest guys were sorta looked up to as being just that. All of our parents had suffered through the second world war in some way or other, and though we hated Germans we wore Nazi helmets, swastika arm bands, etc etc. There were never less than 50 of us whenever we went on weekend runs, and we camped and partied in any field we chose. There were several patched MCs around the area and not one of them ever bothered us. By all appearances we looked the same, acted the same, believed in the same way of life. Those free days are well gone now, disappeared like wind across the buffalo grass.
As always bud, we’ll put! Haha there are a few people out there that seem to live in a bubble where their attitudes and lack of etiquette towards others is deemed “acceptable” … Keep the videos coming! Much love to you and yours from here in the uk!
I started watching you a few weeks before Sturgis 2021, felt like we may have missed a few things my first year in 2020. Just dig your videos you crack me up with the crap in the background and noise going on. About 99% sure I know your club road with a few from out in CA mad respect for what you guys do.
I am highly disappointed Mrs. Monkey didn't shank him. Would have been a great video. I've been on to Shaggy a couple weeks and all caught up - good tip. Thanks for ....well, everything.
I've been riding fifty years, out of Chicago, and currently N.C. as an independent, but have interacted with patch holders since the beginning, at fifteen. I have ceased to be shocked by the ignorance of so many who somehow presume status they will never earn. I'm a retired marine, got several brothers who either are with a patch or used to and find myself pulling back ever more as I get older. I've done the "Sturgis thing" from here twice, numerous trips to the left coast and interfaced with several clubs with nary a bit of issue. The patch holding has gotten ever more enticing with age and the ignorance moving into our world. I've been enjoying your videos for a couple months, well said.
You know what they say you can fix stupid and that guy there just is no way to fix that he will learn the hard way if he hasn't by now ! Great content as always
Been watching your video's for a couple weeks now & was wondering who u support & finally saw your picture with your cut on & was happy to see that your a Friend of Charlie , makes sense being in Florida.. Watching from Chicago , GFOD
Enjoy your stuff sir...true experience. I have great respect for one MO...I was VP for ours...my wife and I are grandparents and still support this organization. God Bless Brother and your lady
Dude I'm gonna keep my mouth shut and keep watching your channel and you are down to earth...can't wait to get a bike keep doing what you're doing thanks
LMAO, I've watched this video a few times and only have one issue with your take on this guy...Im a motorcycle enthusiest and Im offended you group him with us!!! :) Love ya man, keep doing what you do!
i truly wish you could come to Aldershot Hampshire UK. theres a local large brewery where occasionally motorcycles meet. All the time we are annoyed by a particular individual who rocks up on a harley and struts around in a vest thinking hes jax tanner. he was even warned by a support club to pipe down but refuses to.
Enjoyed the video. Shoutout from Spearfish. I immediately recognized the backdrop in the photo of you and the wife. Every year during the Black Hills Rally I come across some Cosplay biker talking to me as if this my first time or referring me as a Poser. I just smile and humor myself and decide if I am going to be playing dumb or just toss some witty sarcasm in their direction. Keep posting and maybe I will see you this year.
I've learned that it's ok when someone ask a rude/disrespectful question to call them out on it. Just say something like "why would ask such and stupid question"
Dump the bars. Get some gimp hangers, or bars like em with drilled gussets. Solid mounts. Peg the riser from the bottom. Simple thing to do. Bars should be able to always stay put. Always.
He wasn't even a Motorcycle enthusiast, he was a getting his ass thumped enthusiast. Hey is it a real club? But I know the founder? Ok so either your insulting my cut personally or all our cuts collectively?
On your apes moving change out to solid bushings. I have 18" apes on my Vicla Softail and had the same issue. Didn't like the movement with the poly bushings, went with solids. You would think it would vibrate and be uncomfortable but it isn't.
@@ProfessionalMonkey Not at all, not with the B motor in the Softail. In fact, I toured all over the Country on my Softail before I turned it into a Vicla and bought an Ultra Limited. It'll make those bars solid as a rock.
I recently put LA chopper 16” apes on my 14 Heritage. I used the stock riser. I can tell you that you will need to push the bars forward or your back will kill you. Originally, I wanted the bars inline with the forks for a smooth look, but I found myself having to ride and hold myself up with the grips at the same time. I pushed them forward a little, much like a Vicla and it’s much better for my riding position. Mine aren’t way forward but somewhat forward. Love the channel! Hope to meet you guys soon!
Wish I'd come across your channel earlier. Non mc member, ex kmz ural 650 owner (wheelchair bound these days) had lots of different friends from different clubs over the years (mostly b&w or side patched). The difference between American and British MCs is really apparent...there are three things that clubs both sides of the pond share tho, respect, respect and respect. Got a new sub \m/ 2 on the ground \m/
I have Arlen Ness 18" bars on my FLSTS. LOVE THEM! They have a 1" welded "riser" They are very comfortable. Being a '98, it has a ridgid mount motor. Not a lot of vibration in the bars for being a ridgid mount motor and bars...... The foot boards vibrate more!
Hey Monkey, thanks for the videos as to clubs/associations and such. I got my patches 3 weeks ago at our annual rally and went through the "hazing", probably wrong word. It was an all day event that went until 1 am. Once I was patched, I began asking questions that you have addressed in videos and they actually asked how long I had been riding and with whom. I "name dropped" your channel and invited them to watch. A couple of them have and told me to follow some of what you are teaching. Thanks again. IPGR and Widows Sons are the two associations I ride with in case you are curious.
Two clubs are at war just across the border north of me. All the chapters of my MM were forced out of that state because of it. I wish all clubs could get along.
I'm just seeing this vid cuz I'm a new subscriber to the channel. You have to put the solid bushings in if you're using tall bars due to the extreme leverage when pulling or pushing on the bike. I just put 16" Carlini gangster apes on my 96 softail and used the solid riser bushings and there is no "squishy" feel at all especially when you're pulling on them to reposition yourself and there's no excessive vibration even with the solid mount Evo. The Carlini risers are drilled underneath for a tapered set screw that you can drive into the surface of the bar without drilling your expensive bars and they're hidden so that's a plus. I cranked down on the bolts holding the bars in place and they don't move period!!! 🤘
I got to say I appreciate your videos I am new to the motorcycle world and as I do not ride one of those specific bikes that you refer to in your videos it is helpful learning how to dress and stuff around without offending anybody so thank you
Oh shit, she will cut you!!!! I have been saying that to my wife for almost 20 years. She mean and I love her. Always love your content, having an awesomely strong woman as your partner is the only way to go.
When you try and 'impress' someone you usually wind up looking like an ass hole. Sounds like he did a great job of that. Could have wound up in a thumping.
Commenting on the ending of your video, I just want to say, apes are not for me, BUT, as a red-blooded, straight American male, I have found the perfect use for them, they should be standard equipment on all ladies' bikes! If you know, you know.
My wife is the same lol She rides and wrenches her deluxe...she earned her patches in our MM AND I GOTTA BE HONEST I KIND OF DIG WATCHING HER STRAIGHTEN GUYS LIKE THAT OUT LOL
Sounds like walking BS that you encountered. If he “knows the founder” and “did work for you all” why in the world would he ask if your MO was real?! Ya meet all kinds out and about. Thanks for sharing the video.
As a paralyzed disabled veteran, I was wondering if there was any Biker Groups that handicapped people like myself could be a part of. I enjoy raising money for good causes and helping those who need it. So many people helped me to regain what little life I have that I will never be able to repay. So if I can do something small, even just hold a sign at a rally, help cook food, or watch kids, whatever I can do to help others.
I would look for your local chapter of the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association. They do a lot of great work, so I bet there would be some ways to participate.
Oh Man! LOL first classer there.... Thanks for sharing that... I would have been with you on the ok ok funny... wheres the cam and who is f'ing with me LOL
Honesty and respect get you a long way but stupidity could get you killed you might save somebody's life keep up what you doing good work wolf 🐺 Lynn Massachusetts 81 forever
Way back in the dark ages I saw a similar type of doofus approach a few guys from a local club. One of the club members listened to him for a few minutes nodding and then said in what I thought was a meaningful way, "I think you might have had too much to drink, maybe we can talk again when you're sober" and walked off. I thought that was a pretty classic move; it allowed the doofus to correct his tact with minimal face loss and avoided conflict in what was a very public situation, yet conveyed the reality of the situation. I would like to think the doofus got the message, especially as there was no alcohol at the site.
I would have paid money to have seen the look on yours and Mrs. Monkeys faces... that would have been priceless, and props to you for not driving his chicklets down his throat...
Just finished shaggys video, you got some high praise and grouped in with some big names, congrats, you earned that. How much you want to bet that guy did that to another biker and got the shit kicked out of him by the end of the rally haha
I've watched a few of your videos but this one had my jaw on the floor, then I was on the floor lmao 🤣 " I imagine he's dead " had to subscribe after that keep up the good work
I am a Videographer and Photographer who loves your page, I am interested in what AV Gear you are using, You have a great Color tone and great natural lighting in your space.
You mentioned bushings at the end of this video. First, I am not a wrench, by any stretch of the imagination. And my Googling skills stink on ice. So, I have ordered some risers for my new '22 FXLRST. Do you have a recommendation of a really good set of bushings for when I change out the risers? Any help is much appreciated.
That guy was clearly super intimidated by his surroundings and his BS was his way of coping - he needed to feel respected and no one was giving him the awe and respect he desperately needed.
I teach a college criminal justice class. A couple years back, I had a student with a slight case of asperger. He was extremely high-functioning, and intelligent for the most part. When the class had to do case study presentations on a criminal gang or organization, he chose HA. When he gave his presentation, I had to keep stopping him and correcting what he was saying. Absolutely everything he shared was wrong. I think he got it from some movie, but even then it was so far from accurate I just don't know. Toward the end he tried to claim that he himself was a ranking member of the MC. At that point I ended his presentation, and pulled him aside to have a conversation. I warned him how dangerous what he was saying was. I explained that making such a claim, if it was ever repeated and got back to the wrong people, could actually get him injured. The little 18-year-old psychopath stood by his word. He said smugly that I may not believe what he was telling me, but it was in fact true. I've always hoped that he overcame that Insanity at some point, because I'm sure if he didn't he'd someday pay the price. Haven't seen him in a couple years, so who knows.
@@ProfessionalMonkey yeah honestly, because of his condition, that might have been true for him too. It's sad because people who haven't grown up around street code don't know how dangerous running their mouth can be. Love your channel man. Had family in the life, and never had a bad encounter with an MC myself. Keep on keeping on, friend. 👍

As a paralyzed disabled veteran, I was wondering if there was any Biker Groups that handicapped people like myself could be a part of. I enjoy raising money for good causes and helping those who need it. So many people helped me to regain what little life I have that I will never be able to repay. So if I can do something small, even just hold a sign at a rally, help cook food, or watch kids, whatever I can do to help others.
I would look for your local chapter of the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association. They do a lot of great work, so I bet there would be some ways to participate.
Wow! Started thinking it was my ex roommate. Good job keeping calm.
You two showed great restraint.
I am actually going "is this guy just testing me???"
I love this video! I better understand the patch and how it works.
Oh Man! LOL first classer there.... Thanks for sharing that... I would have been with you on the ok ok funny... wheres the cam and who is f'ing with me LOL
Honesty and respect get you a long way but stupidity could get you killed you might save somebody's life keep up what you doing good work wolf 🐺 Lynn Massachusetts 81 forever
Way back in the dark ages I saw a similar type of doofus approach a few guys from a local club. One of the club members listened to him for a few minutes nodding and then said in what I thought was a meaningful way, "I think you might have had too much to drink, maybe we can talk again when you're sober" and walked off. I thought that was a pretty classic move; it allowed the doofus to correct his tact with minimal face loss and avoided conflict in what was a very public situation, yet conveyed the reality of the situation.
I would like to think the doofus got the message, especially as there was no alcohol at the site.
I would have paid money to have seen the look on yours and Mrs. Monkeys faces... that would have been priceless, and props to you for not driving his chicklets down his throat...
Just finished shaggys video, you got some high praise and grouped in with some big names, congrats, you earned that.
How much you want to bet that guy did that to another biker and got the shit kicked out of him by the end of the rally haha
Right? I can't believe that dude. I was shocked.
If you need help drinking beer I can train you !!! 😂😂😂😂
I've watched a few of your videos but this one had my jaw on the floor, then I was on the floor lmao 🤣 " I imagine he's dead " had to subscribe after that keep up the good work
Thank you!

Getting my fist bike at 37yo in a couple months and try not to embarrass myself 😂 I just wanna ride, have fun and not piss anyone off. Lol
You'll be fine.
Another great video... Thank you enjoyed...
I need a logo shirt that also says "I digress"🤣. And I absolutely mean this as a compliment
I digress a lot. I swear it's hard to keep me focused on anything...
Hello from Southern Ontario Canada. Checking out these videos. Absolutely luvin them all. Thank Hollywood for turning me on to your channel. LMFAO
"Is that a real Club?"
"Nah, but THIS one is-" knocks his teeth out with a Baton.
HA!!!! A board meeting, you, me, and a 2x4! HA!
Attitude can determine your altitude...
"she's Cuban and she'll cut ya"🤣
Much more self control than I have
Great job on that
Looks like Shaggy's page is/was removed, was looking forward to seeing it, hopefully he will be back up and running soon.
Not likely. His club said YT or the club and he chose the club.
Thats probably the most insane thing I've heard and I'm not in a club.. I just enjoy a ride.
I am a Videographer and Photographer who loves your page, I am interested in what AV Gear you are using, You have a great Color tone and great natural lighting in your space.
I use either a GoPro or these days a DJI Pocket. I like the DJI a lot.
@@ProfessionalMonkey The pocket OSMO is fantastic for Motion videos. Love your content! Thanks for the answer
You mentioned bushings at the end of this video. First, I am not a wrench, by any stretch of the imagination. And my Googling skills stink on ice. So, I have ordered some risers for my new '22 FXLRST. Do you have a recommendation of a really good set of bushings for when I change out the risers? Any help is much appreciated.
I just buy my stuff on Dennis Kirk, whatever has the best ratings.
That guy was clearly super intimidated by his surroundings and his BS was his way of coping - he needed to feel respected and no one was giving him the awe and respect he desperately needed.
I bet youre right.
Man didn’t realize you’re in south Florida anywhere near ft myers? Love to catch a ride
Be patient......not all children are young.
Just when you think you have met the dumbest person on Earth, a new one will show up and take the crown. You handled that deal well sir.
Your channel is great. Thank you for the talks and the info. What happened to shaggy's channel he went off line.
I teach a college criminal justice class.
A couple years back, I had a student with a slight case of asperger. He was extremely high-functioning, and intelligent for the most part.
When the class had to do case study presentations on a criminal gang or organization, he chose HA.
When he gave his presentation, I had to keep stopping him and correcting what he was saying. Absolutely everything he shared was wrong. I think he got it from some movie, but even then it was so far from accurate I just don't know.
Toward the end he tried to claim that he himself was a ranking member of the MC.
At that point I ended his presentation, and pulled him aside to have a conversation.
I warned him how dangerous what he was saying was. I explained that making such a claim, if it was ever repeated and got back to the wrong people, could actually get him injured.
The little 18-year-old psychopath stood by his word. He said smugly that I may not believe what he was telling me, but it was in fact true.
I've always hoped that he overcame that Insanity at some point, because I'm sure if he didn't he'd someday pay the price.
Haven't seen him in a couple years, so who knows.
Damn. That is unfortunate. Same as the stolen valor guys. The problem is some of them actually believe their own stories so to them it's true.
@@ProfessionalMonkey yeah honestly, because of his condition, that might have been true for him too. It's sad because people who haven't grown up around street code don't know how dangerous running their mouth can be.
Love your channel man. Had family in the life, and never had a bad encounter with an MC myself. Keep on keeping on, friend. 👍
