That's why there's a "hang around" period and a prospect period of time. To feel each other out so individuals know if the culture and club is for them or not.
Former club member. I gave it 3 years of my life. Stay solo ride with friends or even solo for that matter. Less drama and politics. Nobody telling you when and where to ride to. No dues and no rules.
Bro im a fellow truck driver AND cancer survivor that love ridin that ole Harley of mine. But I’ve never had the notion to join a MC. I can’t pay to kick it with nobody and besides I wanna ride when and how I wanna ride so preciate the video big dawg👍🏿
Yessir. Everybody I know thats been in club have experienced nothing but drama. Beefing with other clubs, fights within the club, jealousy when their bike was newer/better, sleeping with each other, etc lol. I never joined one. But every event they would always approach and offer and try to intimidate to join like a street gang smh. If you want to be around people, just ride with some friends and call it a day.
Good video. I agree 1000% I prospected for a couple clubs and decided to just be a (Comearound) Comearound when I want to and don't comearound when I don't wanna

Killer video . Just take into account your voice volume and the music volume . Always , bring that music down so it doesn’t take away from your message . Great post G ✌🏻
This is great advice, man. It also applies to other types of motorcycle groups. I am a part of an MO that is involved with supporting kids who have been victimized by going to court with them and supporting them through the process. It can be very hard to listen to the stories of the families and watch the system fail the kids. It is very important to understand the commitment it takes to be a part of the organization that you are considering. In mine, there are fundraisers, meetings, support rides, court appointments and on and on. Luckily, we are a family-first, job-first, life-first type organization. But it still takes the right mindset. I was fully patched in last month after a year of prospecting. I know it's for a season, but I'll give it what I have while I'm there. I thought long and hard about taking the patch. Had to be authentic. So many more people need to see this video. Great words, man.
First off thank you for what your organization does. It is so important to support the youth and especially those that are going through adversity. Thank for watching and commenting and I appreciate that you got something from this video. Best wishes
don't rush hang around period. some clubs will hold u to the standards. when administration changes so can club, weather the storm...... this video could have been a short
You can always join a riding club, motorcycle assiciation, or be an independant. Some dudes like a club or know a club member and just hangaround as a supporter. Great video, thanks.
I was in a Club for 4 years, the last 18 months as club secretary. When i started hanging around it was fun but the last 2 years, it became a job, hardly riding. My bike moved more when I left.
ive been in a 3 piece motorcycle ministry for over 10 years. I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. I joined because of the brother and sisterhood. We are members of our local COCs. We are international and thats awesome to know I have family over seas. We operate basically like a traditional MC.
I love your chill vibe. Disabled. Trying to save for a hd lowrider st. A few years away. 58 yrs old. Ill get it when my finances says i can. If not so be it. Thank you for being u

Man you hit the nail on the head with this ☝️. A lot of folks join clubs because they think it gives them some type of status. Let me tell you folks, it does not. If you were a bum before you joined, you’ll be the same bum after just with a vest. People’s morals go out the window when they join clubs becoming someone they aren’t but trying to just fit in. The real can see right through that fasad you’re trying to put on. You know that old saying “Trying to keep up with the Joneses”. That’s most folks in bike clubs now lol. Don’t go buy that $50,000 Harley Davidson but can’t pay your mortgage. When it comes time to pound, your bike always in the shop or you making excuses but it really be because you’re broke and have no money. I can go on and on with this topic but to bring it to a head, I’m not saying joining clubs is a bad thing but know what you’re getting into before you say “ I Do”. The grass ain’t always greener on the other side! Good topic bro💪🏽
Great content! New subscriber here. Just moved to US but part of a club in Brazil. Totally agree with you. Not sure in US, but in Brazil we have a lot of people joining clubs just to look cool and ride with a patch. Some who don't want to commit, create their "own private club" with a patch for him and the wife (I honestly don't like it). Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Ride safe!
Thanks for the sub! And yes it’s the same here in the States. That look is everything to some people. I just wish more they would really do there research. MC culture is really cool and more so if you know the history
The way a person interact with one person doesn’t mean he or she gonna interact the same with you. You gotta understand you dealing with multiple personalities. People love to talk down on MC’s for whatever reason(s) and aim to discourage others from joining.
I agree 💯%…..MC’s get a bad rap but once you get to know people the outcome varies. In a nutshell Clubs are very cool if you can find one that fits you
Im prospect for ..IMPERIAL BIKER CLUB FROM BROOKLYN NYC, and love my family we be lit having a good time WE NOT OUTLAW BUT WE GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE AND LOVE TO RIDE
@@Viewson2s ..yea man,if you interesting let me know so I can put you on with my president as long you have 6 guy to start your imperial MC chapter in your town
I have no desire to join a club. I have no rules, I ride when and where I want, I eat and stop where I want, I don't have to put up with other people's BS drama, and I don't have to worry about if somebody next to me knows how to ride. I like being a lone wolf and have been for 26 years of riding.
I prospected for a 1%er MC, and it truly was and still is a Brotherhood (at least the one I prospected for), and had a true family mentality. However, I had no idea the level of commitment, that was required, and how little time I would have to myself. I work a very professional job in Healthcare, and I must be at work no later than 0530. None of this shit matters, because EVERYTHING is about the Club first!!!!! It is Club before EVERYTHING, and it was extremely difficult for me to live in a very professional world with my career and a not very professional world!! I loved having the opportunity to prospect, but I did not love what comes along with being a prospect in a 1%er MC! When it was time to put work in, it was time and some of those times became very sketchy! I had to make a very difficult decision to bow out, and I do not like quitting anything! I felt like, I failed myself let along my Sponsor, my Chapter, my fellow prospects, and the Club. I still wrestle with my decision today, but my career will always be what matters most! Thank you for this video, it truly hit home for me! Love and Respect!
Man! Thank you for your openness to share. I can definitely see where you would be conflicted in your Decision. On one hand that MC family can feel like no other (closeness) on the other, we have to live and provide in our personal lives. I have a Brother that had to bow out of a 1. He was the Heart of it but his other obligations had to be focused on.👊🏾 Thanks for watching @slabs6661
@@Viewson2s I truly appreciate you taking the time to reply to me, share an experience you and your Brother that was the heart of his MC. I watched this video three times, because I was extremely hesitant on saying anything, because I figured I would get some hate for either prospecting, or quitting, and then I read your comment, and I am stoked that I took the time to share a little of my experience prospecting in a 1%er MC. THANK YOU! Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down my dude! I hope to see you keep making videos on this subject, because my hope is for all MC's to come together instead of fighting amongst each other. There should be unity among all MC"s, because it is being a true 1%er why we choose to want to be apart of something that is truly outside the norm, an Outlaw, Brothers that have a common bond, that live by their own rules, but still support the community. I will NEVER understand the fighting among each other, because it just does not register with my mindset. Anyway, thank you for what you do my dude!!!!!
There is a significant difference between a 'club' and a 'gang'. Your terminology would be more correct if the acronym 'MC' were used for legitimate and clean-cut motorcycle clubs where upright, honest and people of integrity enjoy riding together as a wholesome entity. Then, there are the 'MGs'... motorcycle gangs. I wouldn't join a motorcycle gang if they paid me. However, there are many upstanding 'MCs' and I would join a motorcycle club once I know that the member are not people with gangster' mentalities.
I grew up in the club life one of the big 3 my unckle, god father. Father all heavy in the real diamond life. I knew very early on i loved the life style but hated the political end of it. Since i was always around as a young kid i wouldnt of even had yo prospect i just had to say im in and i would have been in because i grew up bloody with these guys but never once wanted that 3 peace. Its not a easy life being a full patch member in a true club it takes a different type of person to live the real mc life
I just went to a MC cookout for the “meet and greet” to feel the vibes (potential prospecting), and when one of the guys mentioned that at the final step of being a “prospect” was to get “jumped in,” bro I started laughing and said I wish a mofo would be jumping me at 43 😂 I drank a few drinks and took my tail to the crib lol. What I look like joining a gang at this stage in life lol. Nah bro.
Are you able to humble yourself to wait on another person while you are figuring out if you want this life! And wearing a symbol on your back comes with good and bad!
A bike club lik a real MC club its no hobby its a lifestyle. Bottom line it’s mostly for single Guys because if you have a family and especially if you have a young family. You will find yourself around the guys in the club more than your family primary household family. I was a member for 10 years i was single at the time once i got a family i saw myself not being with my family lik i supposed to, because a MC club it’s something goin on every single weekend remember that and luckily i started with the club day one. If i was prospect you had to do different things to make the roster and glad I ain’t hav to do those things forcefully. I loved it though jus take up alot of your family time thats all because you cant be loyal to two families
@Viewson2s I grew in NYC in the gang Era. I knew a person who was in one of the major one percent clubs I can definitely tell you that when it comes to one percent clubs, they own you. When you sign on to a major organization, they own you, and you're in for life. The reason for this is that you know too much.
1%ers govern from a different perspective than the average 99. That’s another point that could be discussed. I think to truly understand the culture you have to be or have been a member of an actual club to fully understand. MC’s definitely get a stigma (sometimes negative) opposed on them from people that have not participated. Respectfully
@Viewson2s In effect, they own you. It all makes sense. You are in for life. The reason is you know too much. It's blood and out. Just know what you're signing up for when you join because you are committed with your life.
@Viewson2s I am just trying to tell people that are unaware it's not a game because you are committed to your life. There are clowns who buy fake colors off of eBay and pretend to be 1% thinking it's a game. People earn that stuff, and it's not a game. It's a life commitment that only a few can survive. There is a long prospecting test which most won't survive. I see 1% only as a lifestyle that one signs on to. It's like a job to me. If you're in or associating with any major organization, there are rules you have to follow. As long as you don't violate common rules like disturbing a riding formation as an example, there is no problem. This is my overview of the situation.
My concern is I’m a beginner learning to ride a bike I’m buying my Harley Road Glide for my 50 th birthday, am I going to come across some MC ‘s sizing me up or try to intimidate me because I’m riding a custom Harley?
First of all congratulations and welcome to the 50club. I think a lot of people have the wrong perception of what clubs do or think. TV and media has dampened what’s real. Clubs don’t do that. For the most part if you are on something they like, you’ll just get the nod. No ones sizing anyone up for what they are riding. Especially in the Harley culture. It’s a really step across the aisle type situation. I think that should be the least of your concerns. Safety should be top priority
I think there’s a huge demographic that you missed in the video. I’m one of these, but combat vets. Dudes that went to war, went through hell for their brothers, would die for them. When we get home there’s a huge piece of us missing, clubs fill the void. I’ve found combat vets usually make the best brothers. They’re loyal, ride or die, would die for you and take a charge for their brothers. Most dudes love the club enough to die for it. Good dudes. I know the scene saved my life bro
Thank you for that perspective. I can only speak on what I know of. The reason I welcome comments. To help enlighten all that care to watch read and share. Thank you for your service
@@Viewson2s Dope getting a reply from a creator thanks man. I don't think a lot of people realize how hard combat vets go haha. Thanks for the feedback, I've become a fan!
@@rslcgrad1004 you’re right and I do. I have a lot of Vet friends and Fam. I also feel anyone who is genuine in watching commenting on my videos deserves a geniune not cookie cutter response response. 👊🏾
Are there any clubs that don’t fly colors/wear patches? It was always odd to me that they would want to advertise themselves if they are doing anything that isn’t 100 legit. I figure they would want to be incognito. Just some dudes on bikes.
I don’t know anything about the angry young clubs, but when are 60 plus, in management, a professional, you don’t want to put up with the Probie BS. Just join a ride club if you want to learn to ride or about your new bike.
Joining a MC is no different from any other organization, some people just don't like structure & rules, people that join and doesn't stay more than likely doesn't fit in no organization including the church
You know why it’s gotten this way.. because that Have *OLD GUARD MENTALITY* the PURPOSE of the MC has been lost and that OLD MENTALITY IS STILL in effect today. Because nowadays ? Man is so much Crisis going on in the world that starting an MC would be a perfect opportunity. I know it sounds crazy but. Real talk, do any MC’s have MANDATORY READING that’s not MC related? Because KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. Also having members take MANDATORY SELF DEFENSE CLASSES would be A MUST. And it would be Non Fiream and Firearms training. If these MCS would just look around and *SERVE THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY* SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY? They wouldn’t have time to be beefing.. but that just shows to show you what these clubs are about.. how is there GANG VIOLENCE in damn near EVERY MAJOR CITY.. and there are MC’: in EVERY MAJOR CITY.. they should be *PROTECTING* their communities.. if NO MC IS DOING THAT? You should not have the Privilege to have a State or City Rocker PERIOD!
Wow you’ve opened up a whole new piece of the conversation. I will say that MC’s normally have ByLaws that help govern but Also I think it’s a stretch to put helping control violence in the area on Motorcycle clubs. One last thought. I’m not sure what area your in but the Set here in Atlanta is not about fighting and self defense. The clubs here are about having a good time, riding and stunting. All this firearm and self defense not an issue. Nobody’s training for combat. We riding motorcycles . Again the stigma that has shadowed MC’s of being all that stuff is a misconception
@@Viewson2s Honor and Respect King 💪🏾 I’m From South Jersey, Mainly 16’s and WOS.. but they themselves have been involved in various violent activities over the last few years.. and I’m not necessarily saying they have to POLICE THE CITY .. but if they talk to enough people in their hometown Communities violence might actually not be an issue.. and it’s nothing wrong with how each MC conducts themselves.. But You have to be the change you see in the world.. and as far as the self defense training? That goes *BEYOND* the MC.. people have families and lives and they needed to be able to protect themselves at all cost.. the only that is Guaranteed in life is *Change* look what just happened in Baltimore..… I’m just saying.. if your not *DOING SOMETHING TO SEPARATE YOURSELF* from other clubs .. then your just like every other club and in *MY HUMBLE OPINION* there is absolutely NO VALUE IN THAT! It’s just like *TIDE AND ARM AND HAMMER* laundry detergent.. now generally speaking? They both have the same ingredients… but what separates the outcome of the product once it’s used? It’s not the ingredients.. it’s *HOW THEY ARE MIxed* I also started with the *Atlantic County Ruff Ryders* in 2009 worked up to Road Captain.. been inactive since like 2011
Don't think that's the case, he's his own man ,own mind. made a conscious decision and stuck with it, same as if you quit your job and went to business for yourself
This MC shit was supposed to be about riding your motorcycle and fellowship. But now the set is full of assholes who think a certain patch gives them power. You can just be minding your business and all it takes is one of those assholes to start BS with your club.
🤔you know, i think it is safe to say yes. The way that I move now far more suits me. I do love to see the uniformity of clubs but I’m good at watching from the side

Thanks for the sub! And yes it’s the same here in the States. That look is everything to some people. I just wish more they would really do there research. MC culture is really cool and more so if you know the history
The way a person interact with one person doesn’t mean he or she gonna interact the same with you. You gotta understand you dealing with multiple personalities. People love to talk down on MC’s for whatever reason(s) and aim to discourage others from joining.
I agree 💯%…..MC’s get a bad rap but once you get to know people the outcome varies. In a nutshell Clubs are very cool if you can find one that fits you
Extremely insightful...best advise ive gotten yet
Glad it helped, have you picked a Club yet or thinking about it? Just wondering
Im prospect for ..IMPERIAL BIKER CLUB FROM BROOKLYN NYC, and love my family we be lit having a good time WE NOT OUTLAW BUT WE GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE AND LOVE TO RIDE

@@Viewson2s ..yea man,if you interesting let me know so I can put you on with my president as long you have 6 guy to start your imperial MC chapter in your town
dudes making very valid points, it shoes his mature thinking. 👌🙏
Thanks for watching, I appreciate you. 👊🏾
I have no desire to join a club. I have no rules, I ride when and where I want, I eat and stop where I want, I don't have to put up with other people's BS drama, and I don't have to worry about if somebody next to me knows how to ride. I like being a lone wolf and have been for 26 years of riding.
Seem you own you lane my friend. 👊🏾💯 thanks for watching #ridewitme
Hello from Martinsville Va 24112 I am a part of a Motorcycle Ministry we ride for Jesus
Hello thanks for watching and adding to the page. MotoMinistries are awesome 💯
I really enjoy riding with those guys look us up T.R.A.S.H MINISTRY COLLINSVILLE VA
Was in one, got out! Never again.
It’s not for everyone, thanks for watching
@@Viewson2s It got to be more about an image more than a brotherhood. Especially with the younger guys. Got to be too many clowns in the circus.
I prospected for a 1%er MC, and it truly was and still is a Brotherhood (at least the one I prospected for), and had a true family mentality. However, I had no idea the level of commitment, that was required, and how little time I would have to myself. I work a very professional job in Healthcare, and I must be at work no later than 0530. None of this shit matters, because EVERYTHING is about the Club first!!!!! It is Club before EVERYTHING, and it was extremely difficult for me to live in a very professional world with my career and a not very professional world!! I loved having the opportunity to prospect, but I did not love what comes along with being a prospect in a 1%er MC! When it was time to put work in, it was time and some of those times became very sketchy! I had to make a very difficult decision to bow out, and I do not like quitting anything! I felt like, I failed myself let along my Sponsor, my Chapter, my fellow prospects, and the Club. I still wrestle with my decision today, but my career will always be what matters most! Thank you for this video, it truly hit home for me! Love and Respect!
Man! Thank you for your openness to share. I can definitely see where you would be conflicted in your Decision. On one hand that MC family can feel like no other (closeness) on the other, we have to live and provide in our personal lives. I have a Brother that had to bow out of a 1. He was the Heart of it but his other obligations had to be focused on.👊🏾 Thanks for watching @slabs6661
@@Viewson2s I truly appreciate you taking the time to reply to me, share an experience you and your Brother that was the heart of his MC. I watched this video three times, because I was extremely hesitant on saying anything, because I figured I would get some hate for either prospecting, or quitting, and then I read your comment, and I am stoked that I took the time to share a little of my experience prospecting in a 1%er MC. THANK YOU! Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down my dude! I hope to see you keep making videos on this subject, because my hope is for all MC's to come together instead of fighting amongst each other. There should be unity among all MC"s, because it is being a true 1%er why we choose to want to be apart of something that is truly outside the norm, an Outlaw, Brothers that have a common bond, that live by their own rules, but still support the community. I will NEVER understand the fighting among each other, because it just does not register with my mindset. Anyway, thank you for what you do my dude!!!!!
The loud music overshadowed your message bro. I’ll try to find another video to watch.
Thank you for watching. Yeah this was one of my first videos. Learning curve gets better on latter videos
Well said bro, I gave 10 to the club I was with.
Thanks, sometimes you just have to change lanes

Im real picky bout who i ride with and associate with. Club life isnt for me. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching
There is a significant difference between a 'club' and a 'gang'. Your terminology would be more correct if the acronym 'MC' were used for legitimate and clean-cut motorcycle clubs where upright, honest and people of integrity enjoy riding together as a wholesome entity. Then, there are the 'MGs'... motorcycle gangs. I wouldn't join a motorcycle gang if they paid me. However, there are many upstanding 'MCs' and I would join a motorcycle club once I know that the member are not people with gangster' mentalities.
True , there definitely is a difference . There are 2 styles and you have have the awareness to know which is which. Thanks for watching
Lmao@MG...
Perfectly said🗣️🗣️‼️‼️💯💯
Thank you, thanks for watching
I grew up in the club life one of the big 3 my unckle, god father. Father all heavy in the real diamond life. I knew very early on i loved the life style but hated the political end of it. Since i was always around as a young kid i wouldnt of even had yo prospect i just had to say im in and i would have been in because i grew up bloody with these guys but never once wanted that 3 peace. Its not a easy life being a full patch member in a true club it takes a different type of person to live the real mc life
Thanks for sharing. There’s a lot of different intricacies to the MC life. 1’s and 99’s
I just went to a MC cookout for the “meet and greet” to feel the vibes (potential prospecting), and when one of the guys mentioned that at the final step of being a “prospect” was to get “jumped in,” bro I started laughing and said I wish a mofo would be jumping me at 43 😂 I drank a few drinks and took my tail to the crib lol. What I look like joining a gang at this stage in life lol. Nah bro.
🤣🤣🤣 wise man and right!!!! Ain’t nobody doing that
I feel like most people should just join Riding Clubs.
Are you able to humble yourself to wait on another person while you are figuring out if you want this life! And wearing a symbol on your back comes with good and bad!
All of that. It comes with the good and bad
Gd channel gd info thx my Brutha! New sub!
Thank you for that. #ridewitme
A bike club lik a real MC club its no hobby its a lifestyle. Bottom line it’s mostly for single Guys because if you have a family and especially if you have a young family. You will find yourself around the guys in the club more than your family primary household family. I was a member for 10 years i was single at the time once i got a family i saw myself not being with my family lik i supposed to, because a MC club it’s something goin on every single weekend remember that and luckily i started with the club day one. If i was prospect you had to do different things to make the roster and glad I ain’t hav to do those things forcefully. I loved it though jus take up alot of your family time thats all because you cant be loyal to two families
Too many meetings , and if you work . Geezz😂
Yes it can be a lot. Gotta be sure it’s something you have time for. Thanks for watching
Thanks 4 info, very helpful
Glad it was helpful! #ridewitme
Very good video and very good advice.
Glad you liked it!, thank you for watching. #ridewitme
Excellent video my brother
Much appreciated, #ridewitme
I think the information is good, but just a light overview.
yes this subject can really go deep. Thanks for watching
I do have a question. What other points do you think can be added? Respectfully 🤔
They own you once you get in that life.
It really varies from club to club. Definitely wanna do your research
@Viewson2s I grew in NYC in the gang Era. I knew a person who was in one of the major one percent clubs I can definitely tell you that when it comes to one percent clubs, they own you. When you sign on to a major organization, they own you, and you're in for life. The reason for this is that you know too much.
1%ers govern from a different perspective than the average 99. That’s another point that could be discussed. I think to truly understand the culture you have to be or have been a member of an actual club to fully understand. MC’s definitely get a stigma (sometimes negative) opposed on them from people that have not participated. Respectfully
@Viewson2s In effect, they own you. It all makes sense. You are in for life. The reason is you know too much. It's blood and out. Just know what you're signing up for when you join because you are committed with your life.
@Viewson2s I am just trying to tell people that are unaware it's not a game because you are committed to your life. There are clowns who buy fake colors off of eBay and pretend to be 1% thinking it's a game. People earn that stuff, and it's not a game. It's a life commitment that only a few can survive. There is a long prospecting test which most won't survive.
I see 1% only as a lifestyle that one signs on to. It's like a job to me.
If you're in or associating with any major organization, there are rules you have to follow. As long as you don't violate common rules like disturbing a riding formation as an example, there is no problem.
This is my overview of the situation.
My concern is I’m a beginner learning to ride a bike I’m buying my Harley Road Glide for my 50 th birthday, am I going to come across some MC ‘s sizing me up or try to intimidate me because I’m riding a custom Harley?
First of all congratulations and welcome to the 50club. I think a lot of people have the wrong perception of what clubs do or think. TV and media has dampened what’s real. Clubs don’t do that. For the most part if you are on something they like, you’ll just get the nod. No ones sizing anyone up for what they are riding. Especially in the Harley culture. It’s a really step across the aisle type situation. I think that should be the least of your concerns. Safety should be top priority
Ya gotta know what you’re getting into ..
Be honest with yourself
Absolutely , take the time to find out. Thanks for watching
I think there’s a huge demographic that you missed in the video. I’m one of these, but combat vets. Dudes that went to war, went through hell for their brothers, would die for them. When we get home there’s a huge piece of us missing, clubs fill the void. I’ve found combat vets usually make the best brothers. They’re loyal, ride or die, would die for you and take a charge for their brothers. Most dudes love the club enough to die for it. Good dudes. I know the scene saved my life bro
Thank you for that perspective. I can only speak on what I know of. The reason I welcome comments. To help enlighten all that care to watch read and share. Thank you for your service
@@Viewson2s Dope getting a reply from a creator thanks man. I don't think a lot of people realize how hard combat vets go haha. Thanks for the feedback, I've become a fan!
@@rslcgrad1004 you’re right and I do. I have a lot of Vet friends and Fam. I also feel anyone who is genuine in watching commenting on my videos deserves a geniune not cookie cutter response response. 👊🏾
I'm in a Mc and love our club I'm in the Detroit Gentlemen Mc
That’s what’s up. I’ve met you some of you guys in the Chi before. Good guys
#viewson2s Where did you get the bracelet from?
Are there any clubs that don’t fly colors/wear patches? It was always odd to me that they would want to advertise themselves if they are doing anything that isn’t 100 legit. I figure they would want to be incognito. Just some dudes on bikes.
Not sure of that question
@@Viewson2sThanks for the reply.
Yes
Thanks for watching
I don’t know anything about the angry young clubs, but when are 60 plus, in management, a professional, you don’t want to put up with the Probie BS. Just join a ride club if you want to learn to ride or about your new bike.
Yes at some point you gotta decide what you are willing to put up or go through. Thanks for watching
Good info in this video💪💪

Why do people insist that 1% gangs are clubs ? If you stake turf (among other things) You are a gang.......Not a club. It"s that simple.
I guess they say, knowledge is power. Doing your homework is key to joining any organization. Thanks for watching

Club life is no life. It's a money pit, Give give give.
That ls a perspective. Thanks for watching
Heyyyyyyyyyy... I know that bike @4:00 (laughs)
Yeah the guy that owns that one has money to Blow 😅
Joining a MC is no different from any other organization, some people just don't like structure & rules, people that join and doesn't stay more than likely doesn't fit in no organization including the church
I think their are so many clubs and organizations because they’re so many different type personalities
You know why it’s gotten this way.. because that Have *OLD GUARD MENTALITY* the PURPOSE of the MC has been lost and that OLD MENTALITY IS STILL in effect today.
Because nowadays ? Man is so much Crisis going on in the world that starting an MC would be a perfect opportunity. I know it sounds crazy but.
Real talk, do any MC’s have MANDATORY READING that’s not MC related? Because KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
Also having members take MANDATORY SELF DEFENSE CLASSES would be A MUST.
And it would be Non Fiream and Firearms training.
If these MCS would just look around and *SERVE THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY* SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY? They wouldn’t have time to be beefing.. but that just shows to show you what these clubs are about.. how is there GANG VIOLENCE in damn near EVERY MAJOR CITY.. and there are MC’: in EVERY MAJOR CITY.. they should be *PROTECTING* their communities.. if NO MC IS DOING THAT?
You should not have the Privilege to have a State or City Rocker PERIOD!
Wow you’ve opened up a whole new piece of the conversation. I will say that MC’s normally have ByLaws that help govern but Also I think it’s a stretch to put helping control violence in the area on Motorcycle clubs. One last thought. I’m not sure what area your in but the Set here in Atlanta is not about fighting and self defense. The clubs here are about having a good time, riding and stunting. All this firearm and self defense not an issue. Nobody’s training for combat. We riding motorcycles . Again the stigma that has shadowed MC’s of being all that stuff is a misconception
@@Viewson2s Honor and Respect King 💪🏾
I’m From South Jersey, Mainly 16’s and WOS.. but they themselves have been involved in various violent activities over the last few years.. and I’m not necessarily saying they have to POLICE THE CITY ..
but if they talk to enough people in their hometown Communities violence might actually not be an issue.. and it’s nothing wrong with how each MC conducts themselves..
But You have to be the change you see in the world.. and as far as the self defense training?
That goes *BEYOND* the MC.. people have families and lives and they needed to be able to protect themselves at all cost.. the only that is Guaranteed in life is *Change* look what just happened in Baltimore..…
I’m just saying.. if your not *DOING SOMETHING TO SEPARATE YOURSELF* from other clubs .. then your just like every other club and in *MY HUMBLE OPINION* there is absolutely NO VALUE IN THAT!
It’s just like *TIDE AND ARM AND HAMMER* laundry detergent.. now generally speaking? They both have the same ingredients… but what separates the outcome of the product once it’s used?
It’s not the ingredients.. it’s *HOW THEY ARE MIxed*
I also started with the *Atlantic County Ruff Ryders* in 2009 worked up to Road Captain.. been inactive since like 2011
Respect 👊🏾. I appreciate you my friend. Hope you’ll stick around for my upcoming content

This MC shit was supposed to be about riding your motorcycle and fellowship. But now the set is full of assholes who think a certain patch gives them power. You can just be minding your business and all it takes is one of those assholes to start BS with your club.

So in other words you grew out of the mc life all together
🤔you know, i think it is safe to say yes. The way that I move now far more suits me. I do love to see the uniformity of clubs but I’m good at watching from the side
