Let me preface this by saying that I'm NOT in a club, even though I've been invited before. I don't like drama or politics. I'm more of the quiet observer who can spot the bullshit before it happens. I love to ride and believe that if you're going to group together, it is to ride & party together. Everything else is a detriment to that. To that end, I remain uncommitted and free to do as I choose.
Props Sose, I love that you use DCMC footage, thank you for also representing Chrisatian MC's, and Motorcycle Ministries. I can say as a guy who's working towards being an MM pastor for my region, it means a lot to have some one showing the non 1% who are out here winning hearts for the LORD, God bless brother, and ride safe.

ANY ONE THAT HAS EER MET ME BEEN AROUND OR HEARD OF ME EVEN MY ENEMIES WOULD TELL YOU IM SOLID STEEL AND ABOUT IT!THEY CALLED ME AJAX SOMETIMES JAXXY,EARNED EVERY BIT OF MY ROAD NAME BEING A "FILTHY" NIGHTMARE IN THE DAY AND WORSE IN THE DARK.BUT THEN ONE DAY AN IRREVERSIBLE CHOICE WAS MADE I THOUGHT ID NEVER HAVE TO MAKE !HONOR AND LOYALTY ARE ALWAYS KING OVER EVERYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR OWN BELIEFS AND YOUR SOUL BEING ABLE TO LIVE WITHIN YOUR SELF!EVEN A DEMON HAS A LIMIT!IN THE MILITARY I KILLED FOR THE GANGSTER GOVERNMENT,WAS REAL GOOD AT IT !

You forgot one type of brother “Mr Reliable”- The patched out prospect who isn’t appreciated until he’s gone. Will do anything for a brother but sometimes gets caught spending more time on a mission than on his bike
@@TheDarkGreenMarinea prospect is busted doing something for the brotherhood, and ends up imprisoned, before they can patch in and ride alongside their fellow members.
I'm the 9th type of rider. I am the "wrench" of the group. I always have tools, I have taken the proper courses in mechanics and electronics. Macgyver has called me a few times to ask what he needs to do to fix his bike while out on the road. People want to ride with me because they know that before we go, I will help them be road worthy and if you break down, I will be able to fix the problem. I even carry spare parts that are the Achille's heel of your ride. You know, that electrical part that fails and sets you in a motel for a day or so waiting for your bike to be fixed while the part is FedEx'd in overnight. The wrench is old school knowledgable and can fix even the new bikes because he keeps up with technology. Oh, and I ask nothing in return but your friendship and loyalty to the club and maybe a beer once in a while.
Gotta say that I appreciate you, Wrench. Honestly, if I didn't have a brother replacing my tires every few months, I don't believe that I'd be able to afford to ride. I pay for parts, but the man won't take a dime for his labor. Even if he's up til 2:00 am on a work night helping me get on may way.
This is one of the reasons I don't say anything about my past. People meet me, I start to share my backstory, and people automatically think I'm lying. That's why I simply never say anything anymore. Directly in response to your comment though... And that's exactly the reason I was brought on to do what I did. It's common sense. Who do you think they are going to look into as a suspect? The nerdy white dude in his early twenties or the beefy biker wearing a cut..? Subtly and misdirection my friend.
At 74, I'm the OOG. Been there, done that a thousand times, and put in the work for 54 years. I've built ground ups since the late 60s, when you could pick up a basket case for $100 WITH a title. The life's been good, but it took it's toll on these old bones. I have about 20lbs of metal in me.
Much respect!!!! Back when “true freedom” went hand in hand with our lifestyle. As my momma always said, I was born at the wrong time with the right mind!!! 🤘
Always interesting stuff here Sose. My pull into the club was the discipline, heritage and comradery that I missed when I retired from the military. After about 6 years of club life I had to leave however. Things got violent when the club grew because we relaxed our standards for "quantity" instead of "quality" members.
I just patched in a couple of months ago. At the last meeting, I had to drive my car. Everyone was surprised I had a car. I am definitely the bike guy.
I do like to ride with friends and by myself. Two different mind sets. With friends it is all about the brotherhood. Don't get me wrong I ride with some ladies who can kill it too. But it is the brotherhood of the bike and road when I say that. Race, sex goes out the window. By myself is to push shit as hard as I can and yes sometimes you go over that line. But I have never crashed with a passenger or in a group always alone. Love the ride
I am definitely a introvert. I was an original member of a mc in North Chicago 79-89 gave 10 years, and life took me in a different direction. It took me a long time to break the old habits. I can definitely relate.
Hey Sose! Great video, very true about the types of men found within the club life. I'm of the motorsickle guy category....I truly believe its all about the riding and the brothers out on the road and keeping the patch all about riding and showing real brotherhood. Take care Sose....shiny side up!
#Ghostin I feel like I’m #8 if I had to pick one from this list. Wasn’t so keen on joining a club when I was approached, but after a lot of thought, I decided to give it a shot. I grew up around MC and I’m on first name basis with officers of other clubs and I love the shocked look from my own brothers when we’re somewhere and they see a few patches walking over in our direction. Then the weird confusion when it’s a bear hug and a “how the hell have you been kid?!”
Yeah, same here. I'm the guy you NEVER see because i'm offroad, sideways, in the air, ripping wheelies through the desert yelling "Yeehaw" and scaring the hell out of rabbits on a big camo mad max dirt bike while everyone is heading to the club or bar. I was watching Alex Riemann shred trails on adventure bikes before this and somehow the YT algorithm led me here lol. I live way off grid in the high desert mountains, my 'commute' is half steep, twisty dirt (or mud or snow lol) and half tight canyon carving. I hardly ever ride on non twisty paved roads in the first place never mind cruising down a highway in a pack. I have no desire to ride on the streets at all, i just want to jump over stuff, do wheelies and ride it like i stole it AND it owes me money. I don't stop riding to even pick up an 'ol' lady', never mind join a club. All that is like a whole different world from what i do, but it's still bikes and riding.
My Club's one rule "Don't bring heat on the Colors". Of course we had our hierarchy but I didn't care about that. I was about the Brotherhood of the Club and Riding! Very early on I learned how petty some clubs can be and I didn't want anything to do with that. Thanks for posting, Good Stuff!

I have to say I’m the bike guy. I never understood all the politics. I just wanted to ride. We all came for our own reasons but the bikes and the ride are why we are there. Once that is gone the reason is gone.
Man.. going though your other vids I don’t think I’m cut out for club life… But IF I was to make it.. I think I’d be the bike guy. I honestly just wanna ride with my friends and have a good time. I don’t wanna trip about politics or rules or beef with such and such. Man I can’t thank you enough for your content. Super eye opening and really helpful.
I didn't have a name for it until you said it, I'm a Bike Guy. No club, but definitely a Bike Guy. Bike Guys are to motorcycling what Bob Ross was to painting. No pressures, no problems, no stress, just the road... According to my calculations the problem doesn't exist.
I was told I wouldn't fit in because all I did was Wrenching ,Building, and Riding. Not all clubs are the same, and those guys might have been right, for them.
Your cool ass and your editorials a fantastic and your spot on videos tells it straight up how it is which is good no fluff and puff it’s good to get a heads up especially for people who have never been in that position before thank you for your videos keep bringing them out! You’re very talented man!
If I was to join a MC id be the rider ive never given a shit about the politics the money the girls the partys none of that when it comes to clubs, its the ride, when i see a club behind me if im in the car ill pull to the side to let them pass easier but also to see the bikes and just the presence they have riding in numbers.
The club I was with everyone always had to have there soft colors on. I had four soft colors two different short sleeves and two different long sleeves. I had one of each support shirts we came out with that I would wear under my cut on club outings. My soft colors were for if I had to cage it to a club outing, I never felt the need to wear my club stuff everyday and some of the brothers would get so pissed, I knew who I was and what work I put in and people that knew me knew I was a member of a olmc.
buying my first bike tmrw so ima bouta been the brand new squid (not joining a club atm tho) will join a veterans club once i gain enough time where i feel like a group setting wont be distracting for me. its a 1100 Vstar cruiser.
Right when you said life of the party I thought of my best friend. He definitely fit into your description perfectly. It struck a nerve. Unfortunately he passed a couple of years ago and there's a spark missing in all our lives now since he's been gone. I swear there were so many people at his funeral you'd think a celebrity passed away. Well he was a celebrity to us. I miss my brother.
I grew up around the club and I’m 53 now. I think at this point, and really always have been, the rider. Love my brothers and love the open road. Long time no talk Sose, hope all is well brother
I was the Nomad, actually a Nomad. Was hard being that way, I finally stepped away as I was not bringing anything to the table other then monthly communication and trying to assist prospect education from a far. Would have helped if I wasn't a nomad I believe I could have pulled out of it and at least be the bike guy lol.
Bx bro, I am the nomad bike guy. Never got into it enough to get a cut. It’s not my style. Don’t like to be told where to go and what to do. Now at 56 I’ve been around awhile and don’t regret getting caught up. Much respect to the OG”s out there who did there time and keep there clubs together. The youngsters need to seek them out. They know everything.
Life of the party or the bike guy. You'd have to ask the fellas but in my opinion its one of the 2. Great eye opener and we have had 1 of each that you listed in our group. Had to cut the cancer out like you suggested.
If I’m being honest, I’ve been all of those types at one time or another (except the elder) As I’ve grown and learned, I dropped the cancer and politician along the way. I was fortunate to have some elders teach me what was right along the way. At 56, my main goal now is to become that elder who helps and teaches the younger members. My desire to model for and teach them keeps my actions in check. If you’re in a position where guys are looking up to you, make damn sure you’re teaching them what’s right.
I'm an introvert, mainly because I grew up alone, in the mean streets of SC Los Angeles, and struggle to find bs convos to strike up. But, will take your advice on that one.
Ive got a question brother. Im here in Australia and love the work you do. What would you say would be the best approach in bringing a OMC to another country from the US say the Vagos. Would it be more respectful to call or when on holiday in US have a talk with a few of the brothers?
Love being on my bike and working on them I am not a political guy. I commute Rosarito Mx to Irwindale Ca. I grew up in Croydon Pa so, its good to know this Info. Thank You
I’m a cross between the bike guy and the life of the party. I am constantly joking around and flipping my brothers shit making them laugh, yet I’m the first one asking who wants to go for a ride as much as possible!
In my mc, I'm the friendly guy who is always making connections and networking as well as supporting set members' businesses when I can, especially if they're a regular client of mine.
Getting to know club members, I'm always getting new clients from members of different clubs passing my name around and on the flip side, I know members of different clubs who I can go to for a paint job, a guy on the set who hand makes different types of bike accessories, auto mechanics, diesel mechanics, the grill master(he was on a Netflix grilling competition), the golfers...people who are connected to any and everything that will improve your quality of life.
Atm not with a club but am a bit of a nomad guy but when i feel happy n relaxed im normally the party fun guy love uplifting spirits im like that with my friends even more with my family at home
I was never in an MC, was a hangarouund for a support club for about 2 weeks before I decided it wasn't for me (too many other commitments and I didn't really dig the regimentation). I was more of a commuter. I rarely did long runs. My bike was my sole means of transportation, so I rode every day for 7 years straight, about 30 miles a day. Athritis eventually curtailed my riding but I dp miss my 1200 Nightster. It was hella fun on the empty stretches of Mopac at 4 in the morning.
I hung around a fairly large club for a while, not a 1%, but ended up moving before i could complete the process. Im a mixture of a bike guy and the life of the party.
Honestly I would say this applies to any group not just motorcycle clubs. I was working for a small company in the oilfield and we definitely have all the same guys at the rig. In all areas of my life I definitely try to be the life of the party guy. I have never spent much time around motorcycle clubs so I speak on this from an outside perspective. Bike guy and the life of the party are the two best guys to be. Politician and cancer are the two worst. I think as an outsider that’s still a valid take.
I'm for sure the Nomad guy. Like you said it is a detriment. I don't like to start up conversations, or even introduce myself. Once you get to know me, i'll warm up tho. I've got better at it as my life goes on. I still don't like it it's draining as hell. That's one of the reason I started riding. I'll even go on group rides, we all have comms systems, but there are times i'll be like "Hey, this is were we're gonna go. I don't really feel like talking. So i'm not going to be on comms. You guys understand hand signals. Sides that pay attention and follow me." It's a lot easier to tell the group verbally, but sometimes I just want the road, the thoughts, and maybe my music.
When I was a hang around and then a prospect, I would be the image guy. I think the patches on my cut gave me a prospect high and purpose to earn that center patch. Later I had ideas and a duty to progress the club and help them so I had a little of a politician guy.
Been riding since 14 now 57. Rode with a LEMC for a couple of years then medical problems came up from when I got jacked up in the service. Needless to say the guys that said they were my brothers abandoned me quit calling me or answering me. I was an original in the chapter I couldn’t walk for 2 years from surgery and my brothers voted me out. Only found out when they came for my cut. I’m pretty sure that this wouldn’t have happened in any other club someone tell me if I’m wrong. I’m now a 100% disabled veteran who still rides my Harley but now just with veterans.
Then a lot of those guys are ass clowns and have no right to call anyone brother. Like I said I ride with veterans now most of us understand what it was like to rely on someone in the military and that is brotherhood earned.
Thank you for this video and respect. I've been watching your videos for sometime. I'm not a member or care to join a club. But if I was ill probably be the bike guy. I like bikes and riding them and being on the road and seeing things and places. I like being around bikers. I'm a guy will sit bye myself and mind my own business and keep my mouth shut. I don't like drama. I like the ladies. I've known members of different clubs through the years and one has been helpful when I was going through things in my life and I've learn about some things about the life and in the process heal up and learn alot about my life. I do go to rallies and on runs and I hang in the back and out of sight. My bike draws attention so that don't work out so well. There is a local clubs see me out and will talk with me and have ask me to hang out. I think one of these days I might hang out and check it out. Problem is I'm not comfortable around lots of people. I rather be alone. I like my bikes and ride and hang out alone. I want be a no buddy.
I'm not in a club but that description of the motorcycle guy pretty much describes me. I just want to ride. Currently got a couple projects I'm working on just so I can get back out there on the road.
#Ghostin I'm the guy who just wanted to ride! I'm 61 years old and no longer in the club basically because it was too much drama and not enough riding.

Man I can’t thank you enough for your content. Super eye opening and really helpful.
I didn't have a name for it until you said it, I'm a Bike Guy. No club, but definitely a Bike Guy. Bike Guys are to motorcycling what Bob Ross was to painting. No pressures, no problems, no stress, just the road... According to my calculations the problem doesn't exist.
I was told I wouldn't fit in because all I did was Wrenching ,Building, and Riding. Not all clubs are the same, and those guys might have been right, for them.
thats a shame
Your cool ass and your editorials a fantastic and your spot on videos tells it straight up how it is which is good no fluff and puff it’s good to get a heads up especially for people who have never been in that position before thank you for your videos keep bringing them out! You’re very talented man!
thank you for that i appreciate you
I fall under the nomad character and thanks for the advice much appreciated and respected, #ghostin
#ghostin appreciate you
At first I thought I was the nomad, but I'm definitely #8... just shut up and ride. Granted, I'm not in a club but either way.
If I was to join a MC id be the rider ive never given a shit about the politics the money the girls the partys none of that when it comes to clubs, its the ride, when i see a club behind me if im in the car ill pull to the side to let them pass easier but also to see the bikes and just the presence they have riding in numbers.
The club I was with everyone always had to have there soft colors on. I had four soft colors two different short sleeves and two different long sleeves. I had one of each support shirts we came out with that I would wear under my cut on club outings. My soft colors were for if I had to cage it to a club outing, I never felt the need to wear my club stuff everyday and some of the brothers would get so pissed, I knew who I was and what work I put in and people that knew me knew I was a member of a olmc.
#9 describes me. .
It's a toss up between Nomad and the bike guy!! Have a nice day Sose!!
Love your new video keep it up your awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thank you! Will do!
Great Video!
That Beetlejuice shirt it Sick!
classic biker look
buying my first bike tmrw so ima bouta been the brand new squid (not joining a club atm tho) will join a veterans club once i gain enough time where i feel like a group setting wont be distracting for me. its a 1100 Vstar cruiser.
congrats happy for you
Those star motorcycles are nice. I have a 1300xvs and I ride that one on longer trips, my 05 springer classic is for shorter trips.
Right when you said life of the party I thought of my best friend. He definitely fit into your description perfectly. It struck a nerve. Unfortunately he passed a couple of years ago and there's a spark missing in all our lives now since he's been gone. I swear there were so many people at his funeral you'd think a celebrity passed away. Well he was a celebrity to us. I miss my brother.
Rip to your brother more like him are needed
You are spot on sos.
I myself am a introvert it is hard to overcome that
I grew up around the club and I’m 53 now. I think at this point, and really always have been, the rider. Love my brothers and love the open road. Long time no talk Sose, hope all is well brother
Doing great brother
I was the Nomad, actually a Nomad. Was hard being that way, I finally stepped away as I was not bringing anything to the table other then monthly communication and trying to assist prospect education from a far. Would have helped if I wasn't a nomad I believe I could have pulled out of it and at least be the bike guy lol.
Solid list. Wisdom
That was a great video. If I were in a club I would be the guy who is all about riding.
Appreciate you
Bx bro, I am the nomad bike guy. Never got into it enough to get a cut. It’s not my style. Don’t like to be told where to go and what to do. Now at 56 I’ve been around awhile and don’t regret getting caught up. Much respect to the OG”s out there who did there time and keep there clubs together. The youngsters need to seek them out. They know everything.
Def BX bro
None of em, I’m not a member of an MC.
I can definitely imagine each clubs having a spread of those types.
Life of the party or the bike guy. You'd have to ask the fellas but in my opinion its one of the 2. Great eye opener and we have had 1 of each that you listed in our group. Had to cut the cancer out like you suggested.
happy for you many clubs dont
If I’m being honest, I’ve been all of those types at one time or another (except the elder) As I’ve grown and learned, I dropped the cancer and politician along the way. I was fortunate to have some elders teach me what was right along the way. At 56, my main goal now is to become that elder who helps and teaches the younger members. My desire to model for and teach them keeps my actions in check. If you’re in a position where guys are looking up to you, make damn sure you’re teaching them what’s right.
That introverted segment hit hard. Had to work on that realm for a fukn minute but I'm much better at going against instincts now... ML&R TNJR
Def bro i was like that
Mos definitely the nomad and I agree, good and bad thing 💯
I'm an introvert, mainly because I grew up alone, in the mean streets of SC Los Angeles, and struggle to find bs convos to strike up. But, will take your advice on that one.
yea its not easy but the better you get at it you dont strike bs convos they become valuable
@DemonsRow if you're ever in DFW, would love to meet you brother. Keep up the great content.
nomad but your advice make me think diffrent on it because i did accept it now i wanna change it cheers dude
I'm from the bronx as well and i fuck with MC culture from an outsiders prospective. You're def dope as fuck much love brodie
Much love bro
Ive got a question brother. Im here in Australia and love the work you do. What would you say would be the best approach in bringing a OMC to another country from the US say the Vagos. Would it be more respectful to call or when on holiday in US have a talk with a few of the brothers?
Thats a tough one bro
Love you brother you doing good keep up the good work black dragon the midnight Ghost Rider from Charleston West Virginia
Love you too brother
Nomad but more so in a way that I use it to read a room and pick when it's time to talk and when it's time to watch and listen.
#Ghostin....Hoorah🦁☠
hoorah appreciate you brother
What I take from this video is that members of motorcycle clubs are people just like everyone else.
Yes
Some real wisdom, thanks
Appreciate you
Love being on my bike and working on them I am not a political guy. I commute Rosarito Mx to Irwindale Ca. I grew up in Croydon Pa so, its good to know this Info. Thank You
I’m a cross between the bike guy and the life of the party. I am constantly joking around and flipping my brothers shit making them laugh, yet I’m the first one asking who wants to go for a ride as much as possible!
In my mc, I'm the friendly guy who is always making connections and networking as well as supporting set members' businesses when I can, especially if they're a regular client of mine.
Getting to know club members, I'm always getting new clients from members of different clubs passing my name around and on the flip side, I know members of different clubs who I can go to for a paint job, a guy on the set who hand makes different types of bike accessories, auto mechanics, diesel mechanics, the grill master(he was on a Netflix grilling competition), the golfers...people who are connected to any and everything that will improve your quality of life.
Great content
appreciate you
Yeah! Big up your brother!
Atm not with a club but am a bit of a nomad guy but when i feel happy n relaxed im normally the party fun guy love uplifting spirits im like that with my friends even more with my family at home
8 is the reason why everyone should be joining clubs for the riding, friendship and the fun of hanging and running the roads with your friends.
I was never in an MC, was a hangarouund for a support club for about 2 weeks before I decided it wasn't for me (too many other commitments and I didn't really dig the regimentation). I was more of a commuter. I rarely did long runs. My bike was my sole means of transportation, so I rode every day for 7 years straight, about 30 miles a day. Athritis eventually curtailed my riding but I dp miss my 1200 Nightster. It was hella fun on the empty stretches of Mopac at 4 in the morning.
Why OMC basically need to fight people, “enemy club members “ ? Why not just ride in your bikes, party. Etc, why violence is a major activity?
Pride, reputation, loyalty? Whether in a MC or not, disrespect causes arguments. And it's not always intentional.
I hung around a fairly large club for a while, not a 1%, but ended up moving before i could complete the process. Im a mixture of a bike guy and the life of the party.
Honestly I would say this applies to any group not just motorcycle clubs. I was working for a small company in the oilfield and we definitely have all the same guys at the rig. In all areas of my life I definitely try to be the life of the party guy. I have never spent much time around motorcycle clubs so I speak on this from an outside perspective.
Bike guy and the life of the party are the two best guys to be. Politician and cancer are the two worst. I think as an outsider that’s still a valid take.
I'm for sure the Nomad guy. Like you said it is a detriment. I don't like to start up conversations, or even introduce myself. Once you get to know me, i'll warm up tho. I've got better at it as my life goes on. I still don't like it it's draining as hell. That's one of the reason I started riding. I'll even go on group rides, we all have comms systems, but there are times i'll be like "Hey, this is were we're gonna go. I don't really feel like talking. So i'm not going to be on comms. You guys understand hand signals. Sides that pay attention and follow me."
It's a lot easier to tell the group verbally, but sometimes I just want the road, the thoughts, and maybe my music.
I can relate
Good video
When I was a hang around and then a prospect, I would be the image guy. I think the patches on my cut gave me a prospect high and purpose to earn that center patch. Later I had ideas and a duty to progress the club and help them so I had a little of a politician guy.
#GHOSTIN great video as always brother
Appreciate you brother
Been riding since 14 now 57. Rode with a LEMC for a couple of years then medical problems came up from when I got jacked up in the service. Needless to say the guys that said they were my brothers abandoned me quit calling me or answering me. I was an original in the chapter I couldn’t walk for 2 years from surgery and my brothers voted me out. Only found out when they came for my cut. I’m pretty sure that this wouldn’t have happened in any other club someone tell me if I’m wrong. I’m now a 100% disabled veteran who still rides my Harley but now just with veterans.
that sounds like a lot of clubs i know
Then a lot of those guys are ass clowns and have no right to call anyone brother. Like I said I ride with veterans now most of us understand what it was like to rely on someone in the military and that is brotherhood earned.
Thank you for this video and respect. I've been watching your videos for sometime.
I'm not a member or care to join a club. But if I was ill probably be the bike guy. I like bikes and riding them and being on the road and seeing things and places. I like being around bikers. I'm a guy will sit bye myself and mind my own business and keep my mouth shut. I don't like drama. I like the ladies. I've known members of different clubs through the years and one has been helpful when I was going through things in my life and I've learn about some things about the life and in the process heal up and learn alot about my life. I do go to rallies and on runs and I hang in the back and out of sight. My bike draws attention so that don't work out so well. There is a local clubs see me out and will talk with me and have ask me to hang out. I think one of these days I might hang out and check it out. Problem is I'm not comfortable around lots of people. I rather be alone. I like my bikes and ride and hang out alone. I want be a no buddy.
Alot of us are introvert
I'm definitely the Nomad type bro, I don't really say much unless something needs to be said. I'm also the same bro, bit of an introvert.
I’m the rider. My FAVORITE part is all of us TOGETHER cruising down the road ANY ROAD as long as we are riding together and riding.
i am not a biker, i just like your videos. but i appreciate your take on the loner thing. thats me, i agree with stretching out.
I appreciate that!
I'm not in a club but that description of the motorcycle guy pretty much describes me. I just want to ride. Currently got a couple projects I'm working on just so I can get back out there on the road.
There is yet another they are called the loyalists. No matter the scerumstances, they are always there and always got your back
#Ghostin I'm the guy who just wanted to ride! I'm 61 years old and no longer in the club basically because it was too much drama and not enough riding.
#ghostin sounds about right
The Motorcycle Guy… love to ride.
much love shandi
Great video can u do reasons someone decides to leave a club
Will do
Watching replay 😊
Enjoy your evening 💖
Thanks love
@@DemonsRow 👍😊
