That was a ton of excellent info on the " what and the whatnots " of how to conduct yourself around an MC. The explanation of the importance of your conduct at this phase of an interested person in joining an MC is crucial. Stay within your space and never talk about what the Club does with the elections of its leadership. Watch your drinking because this tends to loosen a person's mouth and then say something that shouldn't be said. Never be in a rush and be smart because they are sizing you up.
That’s what’s up. Many people rush that period but like you said things start clearing up the longer you hang around. Thanks for watching and the support 🙏
Whoever disliked this video is a hater because what you are saying is fact and from your own experience. I can truly say I've experienced some of these things from a club I wont name and I got out because I seen things I didn't like during the hang around stage. Recently met a different club which has been over a year later and they did a background check almost right away to insure they had someone they were even interested in which was different from the first club altogether. It makes more sense to do it right away to weed out unwanted people. ML&R for educating the public.
Some clubs have different agendas and not fair to the potential brother . Then the other follow proper steps to really get to know the person or potential brother.
Como estas Carnal, I love theses 1% videos, especially coming from someone like you thats speaking about your experience in a non-criminal club. Keep them coming, and thanks for sharing!!
Coming out as toxic at first(I apologize), but then listening to your videos sober, you are probably one of the most reflected people out there. Hope your advice will help alot of upcoming members, your channel link should have been put up for them to watch.
I didn't know there was even a hang-around period. I literally thought you had to know someone to get even near the club. It's cool they set that up for people who are interested in joining.
Coffee Brakes well depends on the club. Some clubs you need to know someone to start hanging around and verified. The ones that verified you and know you take huge responsibility for for and others you don’t need to know someone but build a relationship over time. That’s what the hang around period is for. You want to get to know them and see if your a fit and they want to really get to know you. Lots of clubs lately have been rushing the process and handing prospect patches out quick and full patches too.
Man this is some solid content! Absolute gold and I appreciate and listen to everything you have to say! Currently hanging around with the idea to Prospect. Thank you sir! 🤙
Hell ya! Like I say the hang around period is a solid period for you to feel out the club a bit and then get to know you. Always make sure you reach out to all the club brothers. Even if it’s a “ hey how are you doing”. So when it comes to the table they all know and hear from you. Let me know how it goes. Thanks 🙏
Thanks! I'm just starting the hang around process. Great bunch of guys! Mostly I keep my mouth shut unless someone is talking to me. Definitely careful not to get sloppy drunk. Looking for ways to help out. I appreciate your guidance.
Love your content and the fact that your videos are always on the road. I feel the same way...try to ride daily and keep my vlogs from my "vlog office." Some great advice in this video for those folks looking to join a club.
Feel you on the background check thing. Alot of clubs ain't doing it. And some clubs, even some of the traditional clubs are letting people in that told on their co-defendants. Guess some of that type of stuff is a case by case basis but alot of these guys are just letting anyone in.
I agree with the title of the vid, hanging around is very important, esp if nobody knows the person really, that’s when you really are supposed too get too, know the person. Too see who they are and what their about.by the time they are done in a few years at least, the club or chapter should know if they want this person as a brother.and know mostly everything about them. 🤤BUT WHO REALLY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT ANYONE. ya think ya know someone then bang your taken for a loop.
@@hammer1794 ya nothing is 💯. But during the prospect phase the things that get pressed on them you start to see the character of that prospect come out. Good or bad. But like we said nothing is 100%
As you say - its a interview, but a 2 way interview. That is a point missed by many..... just like a job interview- does it sound like a company that you want to work for?
I'm all about the brotherhood and respect the life. Would love to be apart of one but my livelihood and family depends on my job that requires a special license in the medical field that can be taken away if I'm convicted of any crime. It was hard to get my license initially because of my past so I know the struggles not having it. I hear all the time of clubs who have Doctor's, Lawyers and what not. Is this true?
This is true. It’s picking the right club that fits you. There many great clubs that are for all works of lives. In 1% clubs I have seen and met folks is all the fields you listed. But that does walk a like. But there are some great old school clubs that are not under the eye of the law like that but are respected by all clubs.
Its nice to discover you - About MC's, please note: I wrote the MSF, and even Harley with the idea of providing a global bikers club that anyone, or other MC can be affiliated with if Certified in Motorcycle Safety. The idea seemed to be DOA. For myself I'm not looking to lead anything at 71 years old, but can imagine, in being 71 years old, how others can also live as long. Actually I am planning another 30. I'm sure you know the accident stats are horrific for our country alone, then there is the world too. I imagined if folks had a better understanding of what they were doing, then in fact they would be more risk averse. Leet me ask you, could MC's be encapsulated in some form of MSF program that could cluster like teams first nation wide, and then worldwide? I'm not suggesting that one be aggressive about this, but that in putting the right organization in place, A- Accidents and loss of life can be tempered. B- More bikers will be legitimate in being able to obtain a State Drivers License ( In CT you get an "M" on your license ) C- This would really facilitate a lot more insurance sales D- This would increase ridership immensely F- MC's would get to know each other. G- Satellite Industries would thrive - Thanks for reading this -
I have a question if you support a 1% of club a certain chapter of the 1% club can you go to events of another chapter of the same 1% club and will they be cool with it?
Genuine question I’m very interested in joining an Mc after I get out of service. That being said just for my knowledge so 1%er is the outlaw riders but just because they wear a 1% patch does that mean that they do all the mischievous activities? Because if a club wears the 1% patch and doesn’t do any illegal activities etc. shouldn’t they just be called a plane Jane mc “99%”? Pretty much what does wearing a 1%er patch make your club stand for if you don’t do the outlaw ways. Hope I can gain some info on this appreciate it guys🤙
Actually you have no choice on how long when it comes to the club asking you to prospect. Some people hang around. Most are voted in as official hang around. Then it’s up to the club when they will vote you in and ask you to prospect.
I see you rock a diamond and are on an Indian. I also ride and Indian and im interested in joining a club. Besides this video I've never seen a diamond club holder riding anything other than a Harley. I live in Oklahoma and I'm curious your thoughts on this? Most by-laws state American made but I feel they mean Harley.
I Did Rick a diamond for while and was the president of my chapter. I been in the set since 2003. There are clubs that are Harley only. But actually many clubs even diamond club allow anything “American “. Like Indian. I know few big clubs that allow Indian. Some clubs say that you have to own a Harley. So I know few guys that own a Harley and Indian. But ride the Indian on some rides and that’s ok. Equally important some clubs are regional based. If you see a club in the east coast and they are 100% Harley. That same club in the southwest will allow Indian.
@@WildOn2sVlog I appreciate the feedback. I am also a Harley fan so trading the Indian wouldn't be a problem. I don't think my wallet will allow me to own both haha. Hopefully my Indian will do but if I have to let it go to further myself in the MC community then that's what I'll do.
@@okcdrew8586 that’s great. But forgot to mention the bit ago I hung up my colors from former club for reasons most understand. Still in the set and heavily around MCs 😉. But you should be fine if not Indians sell quick. I got more on my sell of my Indian then what I paid 😆.
Hey brother I’m gonna start hanging around for a pretty big 1%er club. When you hang around is it 7 days a week like prospecting? I know they have Hang around a pull security which I don’t mind doing
As a hangaround it’s not mandatory to be there anytime. You get what you put in. It’s a time to get to know them more and then learn about you. It could be one day a week or 2. Or more. What ever you can do
I'm hanging around a pretty big regular MC with over 10 chapters and in all honesty they are very cool and just have fun and ride. It's been a couple weeks and I'm about to prospect. But I waited 2 months just to hangout with them not because of them but because I wanted to be 100% sure. My advice IF ITS NOT IN YOUR HEART DONT PUT IT ON YOUR BACK.
Eddie Adams yes. That takes time and practice lol. You will get there one day. Suicide formation is not the safest. Staggering the formation is safer but we still ride side by side. 😆. ML&R 🙏
I was invited to a 1% get together but I went to make sure I let them know that 20 years ago I worked in corrections in my state. I was told to hold off on hanging until I was cleared by the national chapter. Anyway I’m a member of the Facebook page which is private but no word after 4 to 6 weeks of waiting So I’m guessing that aren’t willing to take me.
Most likely not. I do know few 1% that had a correction officer in it. But many won’t. There many other clubs that are “outlaw” clubs with no diamond on. Some of those clubs are tougher and more respected than some diamond wearing clubs. So there many other choices in the set.
@@giovannicarosa8819 no I’m righty lol. Ya throttle hand would be pain in ass to mess with a phone. I learned to draw and shoot with my left on the bike. 😉
You can ride an Indian in many clubs. There are some that only ride Harley. Then there are some that say you have to own a Harley at the least. Meaning if you own a Indian and a Harley you can ride both. But I have a Harley now 😂. By choice 🙏
You just politely and respectfully talk to one of the officers or P first before chatting with others. Just let them know and thank them for all they have done but xyz. Remember hang around you are both interviewing each other. Nothing is in stone.
CaZ ThA MaNiAK all depends on the clubs. Some might do basic online checks but the clubs I know have a PI and lawyer to run the backgrounds to make sure no pedophiles or other issues. Also if eX law enforcement etc.
You need to understand that most club look at you and ask themselves “What does this guy have to offer us?” Walking in and acting tough doesn’t cut it. Walking in and bragging about how expensive your bike is won’t cut it. Act normal, respectful but not a bxitch. Don’t talk a lot, speak very little. Don’t get piss drunk. Don’t brag about being locked up or crimes you committed or how tough you are with your hands. When you walk out, they will say either…. He’s cool, he’s a poser, he’s a punk etc.

Walt In PA thanks lol. Ya much involved. I appreciate the support 🙏

Yup. Bee seen not heard is what we say 😉
@@WildOn2sVlog guy, you seem to be in that outlaw type of club 😆 if you are in one, I think you have a very dangerous life.
