Thank you for educating us. I’m a deaf guy , i can talk but ive used sign language all my life. If one of the guys knows sign language I’m thrilled. Love it when they make fun of the deaf guy stuff because they are hilarious. It don’t bother me none . They are not trying to hurt me doing it.
There's an old naval saying, "When assuming the watch, don't change the settings of the sails until you wait 30 minutes." That allows the new person to understand why the sails were set in their current configuration.
A wise man taught me a long time ago. "sit down, keep your eyes open , and shut the "F" up. Your suggestions are universal to any organization. Good video.
Very nice of Rhino of hooking ya up with everything that you needed and things that you didn't think about as well! Very cool and no you are not a sell out....you do business with them and they are nice enough to talk about them and promote them. Word of mouth is the best to help any business.
I've been all over youtube doing my best to absorb wisdom from all of these bikers teaching motorcycle culture and I've gotta say, this channel and this video in particular has given the most relevant and authentic info I've found so far. I'm so glad I found this page
Thanks. I'm not a biker, haven't rode for years but I grew up with and around the culture. Your messages are relevant to life in general and especially to those of us who are still around. The majority of folks I run with are a weird mixture of bikers, rockers and people who don't fit the norm. This video especially fits. Again thanks.
Way back in 1977 when I was 15, one of my buddies who was older than me, was dealing drugs to a really hard core chapter of a national, well known, 1% MC. Me and some other friends went with him to one of their parties by invitation from the chapter president. Nobody had to tell us what RESPECT meant; i.e. we parked as far away as we could from all of those beautiful knuckles, shovels and pans. When we got out EVERY last club member was glaring at us (party was outside) until Daddy Rat (chapter Pres) came over and bear hugged my buddy. Then they went back to partying and ignored us. When I say this chapter was hard core, I'm not kidding. They owned the crank trade in that region (i.e. meth) and probably had a meth lab set up. They were also running guns as well and were into all kinds of criminal enterprises involving theft, extortion etc. So we didn't talk to anyone nor lock eyes with anyone. We hung out for an hour while my buddy did a deal with the president and then we booked it. My buddy then starting trying to recruit me to provide entertainment for them with my 100Watt amplifier (I'm a guitar player). I loved and still love any and all things Harley Davidson (I own a Fat Boy) and never disrespected them. I understand the comradery even though I never joined a club. But those guys were way too dangerous for me. At 15 or 16 I would have more or less been their in house rocking guitar player "mascot" but I told him NO WAY, despite my buddy calling me a pussy. As far as I know, most of those guys in that chapter eventually ended up dead or in prison. And my buddy? He ended up doing time for a pound of weed and almost died multiple times from shooting cocaine. It took him TWENTY YEARS to get clean. I left that lifestyle at 18 and I'm happy to be alive and well and still riding as a lone wolf - God is good. And yes, I show respect to MC's by not wearing patches a lone wolf has no business wearing (I prefer not to wear any patches).
@@paulcarmi8130 Northern Virginia. The president of the ENTIRE club I met died in a shoot around 3 years later. He's a LEGEND in that club. I don't mention his name nor the club out of respect. Most current members wouldn't care if I did, but there's always a few bad apples in a barrel who would make a bid deal out of it.
I tried to inquire about acquiring one of those trailers, but the rep told me, once they age out they get scraped. That way, there can't be any question if it's u haul or not. Big bummer but o well.
Went to Rhino’s website. Going to order some straps. Added a few things to my cart and started the process. Got side tracked and decided to come back to it. A few minutes later I get a trash talking email from them. (Awesome!) Now I’ve gotta buy the stuff.
Great advice. I was invited to hang around a organization a couple of years ago. While I really enjoyed riding with them and hanging out at the clubhouse and whatnot it just never felt "right". The last get together I was at was a big event where they invited me to bring my wife and get to meet other guys from out of state, etc. One of the head guys had a candid conversation with me and said "we ain't looking for new guys so if this isn't for you don't waste everyone's time". He wasn't a dick about it, just being blunt and honest. I decided that night that I wasn't gonna hang around anymore.
We kind of say the same thing. We don't want to invest time in someone that's not all in. We also don't mean it to be rude, just don't want to waste time...
Really digging your vids , never really been a cruiser or dresser fan however was fascinated bye your vid about how to conduct yourself amongst other clubs , patches , etiquette, an being cool with peoples in general, now Im kinda hooked and fully appreciate your time as well as you consuming mine , stay awesome an be safe out there
My personal preference would be: Lose the coffin tank in favor of a peanut or Sportster style plus install spoke wheels and narrow springer. Then paint it white and call it Poison Ivory.
The first thought through my head when the chopper photo first popped up was...Jeezus! Get rid of that God awful hypercharger!! Then......you said it yourself. Great minds think alike.
i kinda dig them. reminds me of them old timey fuel injection on a funny car. I like the S&S teardrop air cleaner too. But i gotta admit. i likes the hypercharger. is there something wrong with me?
@@drewbiedoobie1416 You do you Boo Boo. My reasons are mine and they're simple; 1) Wind tunnel tests show that the majority of air is NOT taken in through the front of an air cleaner. Most air is taken in through the back and sides. So those little butterflies do nothing. 2) Moving parts = greater opportunity for failure. If you don't have to have moving parts, why have them. 3) It's a signal to all other riders (most of them) who these things that you don't. It's a dead giveaway that you're into "cool looks" above performance. Nobody's gonna take you serious.
Great advice,Every club/ organization will agree when a new fish appears in an Ocean full of sharks, gotta be Koo when being around big dogs, might get that ass chewed. That lifestyle is not for everyone, Some riders, have eBay bikes, and weekend warriors, only ride when it’s sunny and clear. Not saying ride in a storm, oh my it’s drizzling well so much for riding, that type of shit,Enjoy your channel keep growing, that rhino stuff looks good, there’s a reason why you are blessed.

I just found your channel a few weeks ago. You provide some valuable info..I also hail from south Florida..I ride alone mostly but one thing I've learned about life "RESPECT IS EVERYTHING"..Cheers .keep em comin
You're going to love that inflator. I've got one and it really saves time and energy. It's a tire filler and a gauge all in one. And you'll love the clip-on, quick connect, disconnect nozzle.
In my local area - well I do not participate. I am not anything, just a gent that will have a beverage with someone, on a single basis. So my interactions are in my view more real of the flavor of the group. I have chatted both MC and MO organizations. While I would support the same MO you are part of - well - I can support IT - without being a member. That is my path. As I say - Cheers to you! You would find me - in the corner - with my back to a wall. I once was admonished by my grandfather about - "looking the Fool, and then opening my mouth and removing all doubt". I sit silent, until a question is asked of me. I like your laughs! I try to inject humor too! PS - wait till the beard turns grey - and the "package" does too. Don't fret - it still shoots! lol
This works not only for motorcycle organizations but for all groups Masons the elk Lodge, hell the boy scouts... That was great information keep up the videos...
I’d hang that coffin ⚰️ tank on the wall in your garage as an art piece. Not MY style per se.. but I think it’d be really cool hung up or made into a end table or something “different & cool”. Maybe get something from Lowbrow Customs?
Great advice, could be universally applied across the board in every org, bike related or not. You would think that folks would understand these basics and not have to be told; but there’s always intrusive folks that feel the “need” to act this way. Basic human decency, courtesy, and respect goes a long way in life.
@@ProfessionalMonkey Q and A I wear my brothers old cut now. He was a Marine, and died in action. He had a top and bottom rocker. Top was his nickname redneck with skull patch and bottom rocker USA. His ribbons proudly displayed on my chest. When asked I tell them it was his and the story. NO i have NEVER and would never try that Stolen Valor bullshit. So what are your thoughts on the bottom rocker
@@ProfessionalMonkey Hey mate... what was the answer to your question "what do you do if a 1%er sends a drink to your girl?" I watched all they way through but I think you maybe forgot... or I somehow missed it... I need to know as I'm in suspense lol...
@@freak1sees714 Maybe he has given us the answer. He did not say anything more about it, and at the end of the video, he disappeared. My guess would be, don't do anything. Just leave. Or ask the bartender to take it off his tab, put it on yours, pay, then leave with your girl. Or, alternately, you could walk over to him with the drink, smash it on his head and cut his throat with the glass. Every situation is different.
I’m with Dixie ABATE of Alabama and we will have a new member every few years come in. Then after a few meetings start wanting to make changes to the Bylaws. At this point is when I hurt their feelings.
I just came across your page. I have been riding over 20 years. I was in an RC. I had to stop riding for a while due to medical reasons. I have been aloud to ride again. I got a group of guys I ride with ( Not a club) But long story short I have learned the etiquette when it comes to the 1% clubs. I was out with my girl one day and I was wearing my support shit ( I will not name) And a guy came up to me and introduced himself to me. We had a conversation and then he asked me if I knew a certain member of that club of the shirt I had on. I said, "No I have never met him" ( I have rode with him and I have even been to his house really great guy. But I will not tell anyone if I know someone from a 1% club. When we said our goodbye my girl asked me, " Why did you tell him you don't know that guy when you have rode with him and go to his house?" I explained to her that in this world you NEVER name drop it is a great way to get your ass kicked. LESS SAID IS BEST SAID. I think you should do a video of name dropping because some people I don't think know much about that. Especially when it comes to a 1% club. I am so glad I found this page great refresher for me. I know a lot about what you are talking about but it helps to be reminded after not being out there for a few years. Thank you
wow Rhino filled you up...lol sorry i had too. i found your channel last night and been watching a lot of your past vids. i like your sense of humor 👍. im from southeast MO . the bike looks good . i think i would rather it had a sprung seat for comfort with it being a hardtail. not sure what to call it but the cut out areas on the front wheel hub looks odd to me like something should be there. i like the coffin tank . the color is ok to me but if i wanted to repaint it i would go with a blue metal flake maybe with gold flake stripes or accents. with all the black bikes nowdays i prefer chrome. these are things that i prefer . what you decide will be fun to see as you build it. good vid
Ive watched this vid in my feed probably 4-5 times in the last year or so, Man... I met that "over promise dude" at a recent meeting. Almost comical that you hit that nail so well... sure enough he wasn't able to accomplish half what he raised his hand for and now he's having to mend bridges. He's got a long road to go but hopefully his enthusiasm and a little "Old Dude" guidance will help him. Seems funny to me that I'm considered and old dude, but whatever... Stay safe, keep slinging the truth... ML&R
@@SnookFamilyStudios And how would he know? - Its just someone in a cage (everyone owns a cage, unless you live near the equator) driving around the cul-de-sac. For all he knows its someone from out of town that belongs to another club... Presumptions like that is a good way to start something you can't finish. Just Sayin'
@@misters2837 I think you missed the joke. His channel is geared towards those that are in the motorcycle community. Yes we all have cages, but for those of us that ride we get it. He was making a joke that people from the motorcycle community as well as to get a laugh out of anyone that realizes that there is no such thing as a normal person. Normal is just a setting on my washing machine. I think you took it too seriously. This guy helps kids on a regular and I have never heard him be overtly crude to anyone. However I will say that I have also never met him in person and video can be edited. That being said I know the organization he is a part of and they have a great reputation for what they do in the communities that they preside.
@@SnookFamilyStudios It didn't seem like a joke... But... I can understand the "General Public" are far more "dumb" than one would hope... Sometimes its comical! - I ride quite a bit, I belong to a M.C.O. (I live in THEMADONES territory - BUT belong to a different Organization - We coexist well, thankfully.) when I am not out on the road, I work where parts are sold for all types of Rides (ATV/UTV/MC/Snowmobile) - I will say...Normal People Scare Me!
Add another; do not Name Drop. So you had a beer with the godfather of the Club back in the last decade? No body cares. You were cellmates with one of their members? Okay, that's important...when you become a hang around, not on the first date.
Again i wish i could share pics on this format like facebook, think you might like to see a chopper i built in the 90's was my tribute to Billy's Bike, and it too was a Sporty motor but i used a genuine 1200 out of an 89 1200XLH and i too used the Buell heads
They group/organizations I’m currently spending time with are really nice people. They didn’t see me 1 meeting because I was out of work and they called me to be polite and see if everything was good. Good people.
Another great video. I am a member of a Veteran organization and everything thing you mentioned I thought back to the person that acted that way during our open meetings. Also I can’t stand the one uppers. They alway have a story to top everyone in the group just shut your trap and listen. Keep the videos coming. Thanks, Guy
Been a rough couple weeks... You make me laugh that's for sure rofl.. starting from the beginning.. I am more or less a loner all my life so ORG. Clubs and so on are not me... I am allowed in a lot of Clubhouses who do understand this.. A great relations we shall say... Close enough to stay out of trouble... Far enough not to catch the drama... Rubber side down....
I am a new subscriber and love the content that you are discussing. I am new to a club here in Indiana and without seeing this video, have followed your ethics per "you". I am really looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos and the messages they contain. I have been asked whom I ride with and before this club I rode independent. Now, to clarify, I would say "I ride independent since I have not been invited to a club". With that, I bare no patches or anything. In roughly 3 months I will be a "member" as my probation status will be over. Looking forward to more educational content. Thanks Again.
A member in 90 days? That's quick. Not talking shit, that's just fast. Our people go through a minimum of 15 months before they are eligible for patching, and that doesnt mean they're getting it at that point.
Just your ass is Irish ☘️? I think a garage expansion is in line here, going out or up? Been a Rhino fan for year. Can you set the fireworks off from the back of the trike doing wheelies with pops? Another masterful video, thanks
I liken getting to know an organization to deer hunting. You don't rush into the woods making all kinds of noise and draw attention to yourself. You enter quietly, find a nice spot to sit and you patiently wait and observe. It may take 5, 6, or 10 times, but someone will notice you and approach you and they'll want to know who you are and what you're about. Be patient and be consistent. Let them notice you on their terms. And for the love of Pete, don't name drop.
Long story, made short. I live in a semi rural area of S Louisiana. Years ago, I had a date on a Sat. night and got lost on some hwy in the middle of nowhere. I come across a biker club and have no choice but to ask for directions and if I can use the phone. SO, here's this young guy, nice button down shirt, clean shaven, hair was kinda long .. you get the point. I walk up to the giant at the front door and explain that I know this is a "private" club and I don't belong there, but I'm lost and MAY I have permission to ask for directions or place a phone call. The dude looks me up and down, nods and walks inside. I stay put (I haven't been invited in). An older man appears and asks me where I was going. After several minutes, and conferring with a few other members, they realize that I simply took a wrong turn at point A. They aim me in the right direction and then suggest I call my date an explain why I'm late. I make the call, thank them and leave. Moral of the story is this; I KNEW I didn't belong there, but circumstances required me to stop. I followed the simple rules of showing respect, knowing I didn't belong there, and asking permission to do everything so basically not get my ass kicked.
Being from a different lifestyle I understand now how not investing time in a person makes since. I retired from active duty in the military from 1984 to 2012. I spent most of my life in institutions. After I got out, I was a correction officer until 2019 right before covid. quit because I figured to punish people you punish yourself and I was beginning to feel like an inmate. At 58 years old I ride a Yamaha Super Tenere 1200cc motorcycle. I made a mistake in getting this bike and not a Harley. I like the idea of riding and making friends with other bikers, but am I too old to look for and organization of the type you're speaking of? Also I am living off my military retirement and VA disability so have limited funds.
😂😂😂 No dude, that's called paranoia, and we have too live with that shit, like another video i saw with you, and you was like 😳 Was that the door 🚪 😳 Just know i understand... - Peace - 🙏❤✌
Fascinting comparison to UK Bikers rather than 1%'s. Ive have bought so many rounds of tea ! Also excellent for wokshop sessions. Aussies somehwere beteen the two.
Man as a new sub, i gotta say i love the channel! But i dont get the orgs and clubs. Local abate chapter got me to come to a meeting a while back. I quickly decided i had found the ONE way to make the chaos of riding a motorcycle not fun... and that was to make it organized. Maybe i just was around the wrong group but it felt like work. Riding my road king? Shit, nothin work about that bro! Keep it free, keep it fun. Keep the content comin man.
I went to a couple meetings of this "organization" you speak of,about 2 yrs ago. Top off and Witchn are really good family friends of ours. They're the ones who sent the open invite to check them out. As matter of fact, I've done a bit of plumbing in top offs house. I decided to go a different direction but am highly reconsidering and going back. Did background and all and that's when I stopped going.
I have been trying to find a hypercharger for atleast the last year😅 for my 94 xlh 1200 its the air cleaner ive always wanted to get for my sportster since i first saw one back in 2008 haha. everything online is in super rough shape and they want brand new prices haha i dont mind paying if they were nice 😅
One thing a "ol skool cat" once taught me when I was coming n to the MC world "God gave u 2 ears n 1 mouth for a reason; Listen twice as much as u talk."
Glad I found you. You remind me of my ex brother in-law who has moved on to another wife, not by his choice, and I miss visiting with him. I really enjoy your videos.
I hope a bit of a wider seat goes on to accommodate for the adult fourth point of contact. Because you hit a bump in the road and your gonna get a hard split where God split ya.
@O O The government maintains a file with every male citizen's military service number. You can go to a website or phone call them. The number tells you if that person served, was drafted (if an old timer), or never served. Edit: Selective Service ID I believe it's called.
Will admit I’ve been that guy … and fortunately, a good friend took me aside to let me know I was showing my ass … I appreciated the clue in & corrected my attitude & behavior
Absolutely dead on! I was involved with a fraternal organization(not involving motorcycles) in which all the same rules applied. In the 10 years I was involved, I never spoke to a current office holder on my first attendance. Be it on a local, district or state level. It's more likely that you'll have a conversation with a former office holder for a "shakedown" to see what your all about. Even then, don't take up any more time then they are willing to give you.
You talked about your "Old man" riding a trike reminded me of a trip my Dad took. When he was 70 and was soon to get married for the third time. He decided he was going to start at Key West and ride around the outside edge of the continental United States. He ended up going by himself and he took a whole month to do. He said he would ride until he felt like stopping then rest until he was ready to go. It was the Best Ride of his life.
i once got into an argument with some random dude on facebook, i got called out be the MC to stop doing that, have never since talked to stupid ppl on facebook xD
Mistake I see from new faces..... they're overwhelmed with the moment and make the mistake of not introducing themselves to "ALL" the full patch members in that situation especially the head guys.... simply go around shake hands introducing yourself first before you get drinks, food, conversations with people you may know..... there is more details to this if you want or need more information just ask ...... if you have a 'sponsor" who invited you check with them regarding protocol first ...... everything else he said in this is basically spot on.
Great advice. This should be common sense, but many people do these things with the best of intentions in mind. I am actually in the process of getting vetted for said organization, so this is a nice reminder to not get over zealous. However, I am also in another MC as well as a firefighter and in both worlds this can be applied. Thanks for the great content Monkey
Coffin tanks were popular because they are made from easy to cut flat sheet metal peaces. You would cut cardboard mock up peaces and tape them together until you got the size and shape you wanted. Then you would cut your steel peaces out and braze the peaces together. Back when people started building Chopper's there were no shop's that sold custom parts like there are today. You did everything in your garage or backyard shop.
Hey, nice content dude! Could you possibly do a video on non-1% motorcycle clubs, and some names possibly? Info on them is almost impossible to find. And if you could cover what is their purpose?

I just found your channel a few weeks ago. You provide some valuable info..I also hail from south Florida..I ride alone mostly but one thing I've learned about life "RESPECT IS EVERYTHING"..Cheers .keep em comin
Welcome aboard!
"there's a lot of rubbing" 🤣🤣
Yep... but then again... $20 is $20!
You're going to love that inflator. I've got one and it really saves time and energy. It's a tire filler and a gauge all in one. And you'll love the clip-on, quick connect, disconnect nozzle.
"Don't broadcast when you should tune in" F#+KING BRILLIANT👍👏🇺🇸
Rules start at 10 minutes
Great video, thanks for the suggestions, im sure they will be valuable
Two tips I learned a long time ago. When you’re new, eyes open, ears open, mouth closed.
And make it a habit of underpromising and overdelivering.
That applies to almost any organization/company or group
“Do u wanna fill me back up..!” Lmao
That’s wut... nobody has ever said to me in life... now I’m sad 😪
Ha!!!!
Give respect, but expect none... because there are 50 of them and 1 of you. Facts.
All common sense when going to a meeting when you are the new person. But some people never learn.
In my local area - well I do not participate. I am not anything, just a gent that will have a beverage with someone, on a single basis. So my interactions are in my view more real of the flavor of the group. I have chatted both MC and MO organizations. While I would support the same MO you are part of - well - I can support IT - without being a member. That is my path. As I say - Cheers to you! You would find me - in the corner - with my back to a wall. I once was admonished by my grandfather about - "looking the Fool, and then opening my mouth and removing all doubt". I sit silent, until a question is asked of me. I like your laughs! I try to inject humor too! PS - wait till the beard turns grey - and the "package" does too. Don't fret - it still shoots! lol
Nor very far though!!!🤏
Same thing here: Living on a culdesac...
And your club suggestions were spot-on.
Thank you...
This works not only for motorcycle organizations but for all groups Masons the elk Lodge, hell the boy scouts... That was great information keep up the videos...
You got that right!
I’d hang that coffin ⚰️ tank on the wall in your garage as an art piece. Not MY style per se.. but I think it’d be really cool hung up or made into a end table or something “different & cool”. Maybe get something from Lowbrow Customs?
Agreed! I’d go with a 🥜 tank.
Great advice, could be universally applied across the board in every org, bike related or not. You would think that folks would understand these basics and not have to be told; but there’s always intrusive folks that feel the “need” to act this way.
Basic human decency, courtesy, and respect goes a long way in life.
Excellent video. Everyone wanting to join a motorcycle " organization " should watch this....thanks for posting it!!
Thanks!
@@ProfessionalMonkey Q and A I wear my brothers old cut now. He was a Marine, and died in action. He had a top and bottom rocker. Top was his nickname redneck with skull patch and bottom rocker USA. His ribbons proudly displayed on my chest. When asked I tell them it was his and the story. NO i have NEVER and would never try that Stolen Valor bullshit. So what are your thoughts on the bottom rocker
@@ProfessionalMonkey
Hey mate... what was the answer to your question "what do you do if a 1%er sends a drink to your girl?"
I watched all they way through but I think you maybe forgot... or I somehow missed it... I need to know as I'm in suspense lol...
@@ProfessionalMonkey hey man, you never answered the question about what to do when a 1%er buys your girl a drink.
@@freak1sees714 Maybe he has given us the answer. He did not say anything more about it, and at the end of the video, he disappeared. My guess would be, don't do anything. Just leave. Or ask the bartender to take it off his tab, put it on yours, pay, then leave with your girl. Or, alternately, you could walk over to him with the drink, smash it on his head and cut his throat with the glass. Every situation is different.
Some people get so butthurt about this! However, you're giving them great advice. Thanks for the vid, and never mind the haters...
I’m with Dixie ABATE of Alabama and we will have a new member every few years come in. Then after a few meetings start wanting to make changes to the Bylaws. At this point is when I hurt their feelings.
I just came across your page. I have been riding over 20 years. I was in an RC. I had to stop riding for a while due to medical reasons. I have been aloud to ride again. I got a group of guys I ride with ( Not a club) But long story short I have learned the etiquette when it comes to the 1% clubs. I was out with my girl one day and I was wearing my support shit ( I will not name) And a guy came up to me and introduced himself to me. We had a conversation and then he asked me if I knew a certain member of that club of the shirt I had on. I said, "No I have never met him" ( I have rode with him and I have even been to his house really great guy. But I will not tell anyone if I know someone from a 1% club. When we said our goodbye my girl asked me, " Why did you tell him you don't know that guy when you have rode with him and go to his house?" I explained to her that in this world you NEVER name drop it is a great way to get your ass kicked. LESS SAID IS BEST SAID. I think you should do a video of name dropping because some people I don't think know much about that. Especially when it comes to a 1% club. I am so glad I found this page great refresher for me. I know a lot about what you are talking about but it helps to be reminded after not being out there for a few years. Thank you
wow Rhino filled you up...lol sorry i had too. i found your channel last night and been watching a lot of your past vids. i like your sense of humor 👍. im from southeast MO . the bike looks good . i think i would rather it had a sprung seat for comfort with it being a hardtail. not sure what to call it but the cut out areas on the front wheel hub looks odd to me like something should be there. i like the coffin tank . the color is ok to me but if i wanted to repaint it i would go with a blue metal flake maybe with gold flake stripes or accents. with all the black bikes nowdays i prefer chrome. these are things that i prefer . what you decide will be fun to see as you build it. good vid
I just recently found your channel, I’ve been binging. You sir are spectacular
Thanks a bunch!!!
Go to your local welding supplier and get a tank of nitrogen, fill your tires with that. Nitrogen doesn't expand and contract like air does.
I remember when Jason Newstead of Metallica responded to be called a sell out. He said damn straight, we sell out every arena we play in. Lol
Thats hilarious!
A lot of those things translate to life. I know this often happens with new team members in the office. Thanks for keeping the videos coming!
Ive watched this vid in my feed probably 4-5 times in the last year or so, Man... I met that "over promise dude" at a recent meeting. Almost comical that you hit that nail so well... sure enough he wasn't able to accomplish half what he raised his hand for and now he's having to mend bridges. He's got a long road to go but hopefully his enthusiasm and a little "Old Dude" guidance will help him. Seems funny to me that I'm considered and old dude, but whatever... Stay safe, keep slinging the truth... ML&R
The chopper is freaking cool
"I can't stand civilians, normal people!" LOL I love this guy!
Yet, unless he is Military or Law Enforcement he IS a civilian...LOL!
@@misters2837 he is talking about people that aren't part of the MOTORCYCLE CULTURE.
@@SnookFamilyStudios And how would he know? - Its just someone in a cage (everyone owns a cage, unless you live near the equator) driving around the cul-de-sac. For all he knows its someone from out of town that belongs to another club... Presumptions like that is a good way to start something you can't finish. Just Sayin'
@@misters2837 I think you missed the joke. His channel is geared towards those that are in the motorcycle community. Yes we all have cages, but for those of us that ride we get it. He was making a joke that people from the motorcycle community as well as to get a laugh out of anyone that realizes that there is no such thing as a normal person. Normal is just a setting on my washing machine. I think you took it too seriously. This guy helps kids on a regular and I have never heard him be overtly crude to anyone. However I will say that I have also never met him in person and video can be edited. That being said I know the organization he is a part of and they have a great reputation for what they do in the communities that they preside.
@@SnookFamilyStudios It didn't seem like a joke... But... I can understand the "General Public" are far more "dumb" than one would hope... Sometimes its comical! - I ride quite a bit, I belong to a M.C.O. (I live in THEMADONES territory - BUT belong to a different Organization - We coexist well, thankfully.) when I am not out on the road, I work where parts are sold for all types of Rides (ATV/UTV/MC/Snowmobile) - I will say...Normal People Scare Me!
Add another; do not Name Drop. So you had a beer with the godfather of the Club back in the last decade? No body cares. You were cellmates with one of their members? Okay, that's important...when you become a hang around, not on the first date.
That's why we have 2 ears and 1 mouth. L.L.L. (look, listen and learn)
Again i wish i could share pics on this format like facebook, think you might like to see a chopper i built in the 90's was my tribute to Billy's Bike, and it too was a Sporty motor but i used a genuine 1200 out of an 89 1200XLH and i too used the Buell heads
They group/organizations I’m currently spending time with are really nice people. They didn’t see me 1 meeting because I was out of work and they called me to be polite and see if everything was good. Good people.
Seven minutes in and I’m cracking up 😂. Keep safe brother 😎
I agree. You can’t be listening when your jaw is Jackin’. Great content and information. Above all you always make me laugh. Ride safe. 👍
Another great video. I am a member of a Veteran organization and everything thing you mentioned I thought back to the person that acted that way during our open meetings. Also I can’t stand the one uppers. They alway have a story to top everyone in the group just shut your trap and listen. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks, Guy
There's always that one guy in EVERY group.
Your cut video was informative. As a new rider I’m sure it will help in my riding adventures. Cheers
Been a rough couple weeks... You make me laugh that's for sure rofl.. starting from the beginning..
I am more or less a loner all my life so ORG. Clubs and so on are not me... I am allowed in a lot of Clubhouses who do understand this..
A great relations we shall say...
Close enough to stay out of trouble... Far enough not to catch the drama...
Rubber side down....
That's a good route to go...
I am a new subscriber and love the content that you are discussing. I am new to a club here in Indiana and without seeing this video, have followed your ethics per "you". I am really looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos and the messages they contain. I have been asked whom I ride with and before this club I rode independent. Now, to clarify, I would say "I ride independent since I have not been invited to a club". With that, I bare no patches or anything. In roughly 3 months I will be a "member" as my probation status will be over. Looking forward to more educational content. Thanks Again.
A member in 90 days? That's quick. Not talking shit, that's just fast. Our people go through a minimum of 15 months before they are eligible for patching, and that doesnt mean they're getting it at that point.
@@ProfessionalMonkey no sir, it is 9 months. It is the widows sons. A group of Free Masons. I am in good standing with the lodge for 2 years already.
All goes well, my patches will come in September.
@@steveshetterjr.6976 That explains it. I gotcha.
See if the Chopper will fit in a Home Depot pickup rental truck. It's 20 bucks a hour to rent
Just your ass is Irish ☘️? I think a garage expansion is in line here, going out or up? Been a Rhino fan for year. Can you set the fireworks off from the back of the trike doing wheelies with pops? Another masterful video, thanks
Ha!!!
Totally on point. Universal wisdom.
Thank you!
Sugarbear front end...?
Spokes! Definitely spokes😬
🍻🍻🍻
Sugar bear is BIG money...
I liken getting to know an organization to deer hunting. You don't rush into the woods making all kinds of noise and draw attention to yourself. You enter quietly, find a nice spot to sit and you patiently wait and observe. It may take 5, 6, or 10 times, but someone will notice you and approach you and they'll want to know who you are and what you're about. Be patient and be consistent. Let them notice you on their terms. And for the love of Pete, don't name drop.
Absolutely. That should have been on this video...
Put a kickstarter on it. There is a kit for it.
Long story, made short. I live in a semi rural area of S Louisiana. Years ago, I had a date on a Sat. night and got lost on some hwy in the middle of nowhere. I come across a biker club and have no choice but to ask for directions and if I can use the phone. SO, here's this young guy, nice button down shirt, clean shaven, hair was kinda long .. you get the point. I walk up to the giant at the front door and explain that I know this is a "private" club and I don't belong there, but I'm lost and MAY I have permission to ask for directions or place a phone call. The dude looks me up and down, nods and walks inside. I stay put (I haven't been invited in). An older man appears and asks me where I was going. After several minutes, and conferring with a few other members, they realize that I simply took a wrong turn at point A. They aim me in the right direction and then suggest I call my date an explain why I'm late. I make the call, thank them and leave. Moral of the story is this; I KNEW I didn't belong there, but circumstances required me to stop. I followed the simple rules of showing respect, knowing I didn't belong there, and asking permission to do everything so basically not get my ass kicked.
"Fat Guy on a Little Bike"....... Ha ! I feel for you, I have the same deal.....I only look good on dressers
Being from a different lifestyle I understand now how not investing time in a person makes since. I retired from active duty in the military from 1984 to 2012. I spent most of my life in institutions. After I got out, I was a correction officer until 2019 right before covid. quit because I figured to punish people you punish yourself and I was beginning to feel like an inmate. At 58 years old I ride a Yamaha Super Tenere 1200cc motorcycle. I made a mistake in getting this bike and not a Harley. I like the idea of riding and making friends with other bikers, but am I too old to look for and organization of the type you're speaking of? Also I am living off my military retirement and VA disability so have limited funds.
If you're going old school chopper you got to use velocity stacks.
100% agree on the hypercharger.
Great vid.👍
JohnDeer black rules!
P.S:
Road Glides rule!✌
Looks like a fun project, Not a fan of spokes. I say keep the wheels.
😂😂😂 No dude, that's called paranoia, and we have too live with that shit, like another video i saw with you, and you was like 😳
Was that the door 🚪 😳
Just know i understand...
- Peace -
🙏❤✌
Fascinting comparison to UK Bikers rather than 1%'s. Ive have bought so many rounds of tea ! Also excellent for wokshop sessions. Aussies somehwere beteen the two.
S&S air cleaner, I like the look of a spoke chrome front wheel 21" with no fender.
Busted up that like button.lol
Man as a new sub, i gotta say i love the channel!
But i dont get the orgs and clubs. Local abate chapter got me to come to a meeting a while back. I quickly decided i had found the ONE way to make the chaos of riding a motorcycle not fun... and that was to make it organized.
Maybe i just was around the wrong group but it felt like work. Riding my road king? Shit, nothin work about that bro! Keep it free, keep it fun.
Keep the content comin man.
I went to a couple meetings of this "organization" you speak of,about 2 yrs ago. Top off and Witchn are really good family friends of ours. They're the ones who sent the open invite to check them out. As matter of fact, I've done a bit of plumbing in top offs house. I decided to go a different direction but am highly reconsidering and going back. Did background and all and that's when I stopped going.
Why can’t people say the name of the organization?
Only approved PR officers can represent the org on social media. I am not speaking on behalf of it, so...
I have been trying to find a hypercharger for atleast the last year😅 for my 94 xlh 1200 its the air cleaner ive always wanted to get for my sportster since i first saw one back in 2008 haha. everything online is in super rough shape and they want brand new prices haha i dont mind paying if they were nice 😅
I would get the Hammer 1275 kit. Ok, that’s what I want to do eventually to my 1200.
One thing a "ol skool cat" once taught me when I was coming n to the MC world "God gave u 2 ears n 1 mouth for a reason; Listen twice as much as u talk."
I really appreciate your Insight it's definitely helpful in my life thanks for that
Plain And simple "DONT BE THAT GUY"
We all know THAT GUY, right? WRENCH!!!
@@ProfessionalMonkey yes we do. Lmao
I like the blue color of your chopper
Very good points!! I'm part of an Association, with religious basis.. I'd say they apply to us as well.
Glad I found you. You remind me of my ex brother in-law who has moved on to another wife, not by his choice, and I miss visiting with him. I really enjoy your videos.
Sorry to hear that, but welcome aboard.
👋thanks 👍😊👌✌️
No problem 👍
Bud (I didn't say brother lol) love your vids, you are insightful and have good comedy 🤙🤙🤟🤟
I hope a bit of a wider seat goes on to accommodate for the adult fourth point of contact. Because you hit a bump in the road and your gonna get a hard split where God split ya.
I have heard of some riders that told club members they were in the military when they were not.not the thing to do they can run a check on you.
How can they run a check on you?
@@OO-im6eo I thought clubs could through your license number.or plate.
@@buckgreatdane372 I don't know if any of that would say whether you were or are in the military.
@O O The government maintains a file with every male citizen's military service number. You can go to a website or phone call them. The number tells you if that person served, was drafted (if an old timer), or never served. Edit: Selective Service ID I believe it's called.
Will admit I’ve been that guy … and fortunately, a good friend took me aside to let me know I was showing my ass … I appreciated the clue in & corrected my attitude & behavior
But in my circle, once a prospect, always a prospect. You're there to set an example for everyone. Nobody is an exception.
Really good point.
You don't like "normal people"... well, call me normal and we've got a problem ;)
Absolutely dead on! I was involved with a fraternal organization(not involving motorcycles) in which all the same rules applied. In the 10 years I was involved, I never spoke to a current office holder on my first attendance. Be it on a local, district or state level. It's more likely that you'll have a conversation with a former office holder for a "shakedown" to see what your all about. Even then, don't take up any more time then they are willing to give you.
You talked about your "Old man" riding a trike reminded me of a trip my Dad took. When he was 70 and was soon to get married for the third time. He decided he was going to start at Key West and ride around the outside edge of the continental United States. He ended up going by himself and he took a whole month to do. He said he would ride until he felt like stopping then rest until he was ready to go. It was the Best Ride of his life.
An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth. Chris Hadfield’s book. Be a zero. Great advice, great video.
I'm going to my 3rd meeting in June
Right on!
one day i want to get a hard tail frame and build a bike! IDK if ill ever get to im 46 i have not rode many years but i want to build a bike
Nice channel. Great content. Great delivery. Thanks .
Thank you!
i once got into an argument with some random dude on facebook, i got called out be the MC to stop doing that, have never since talked to stupid ppl on facebook xD
Mistake I see from new faces..... they're overwhelmed with the moment and make the mistake of not introducing themselves to "ALL" the full patch members in that situation especially the head guys.... simply go around shake hands introducing yourself first before you get drinks, food, conversations with people you may know..... there is more details to this if you want or need more information just ask ...... if you have a 'sponsor" who invited you check with them regarding protocol first ...... everything else he said in this is basically spot on.
Great advice. This should be common sense, but many people do these things with the best of intentions in mind. I am actually in the process of getting vetted for said organization, so this is a nice reminder to not get over zealous. However, I am also in another MC as well as a firefighter and in both worlds this can be applied. Thanks for the great content Monkey
Like I tell my kids or any one younger than me that asks how come I know what I do I tell them Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut
Coffin tanks were popular because they are made from easy to cut flat sheet metal peaces. You would cut cardboard mock up peaces and tape them together until you got the size and shape you wanted. Then you would cut your steel peaces out and braze the peaces together. Back when people started building Chopper's there were no shop's that sold custom parts like there are today. You did everything in your garage or backyard shop.
Dropping Knowledge bombs!
Hey, nice content dude! Could you possibly do a video on non-1% motorcycle clubs, and some names possibly? Info on them is almost impossible to find. And if you could cover what is their purpose?
Thanks. Not really my area of expertise so I am not sure how I could do it, ya know?
The best thing you could do is visit various dealerships and/or bike shops near you. Ask the employees what's in your area.
