71 years old. Riding for 50 of that. Never been in a club and will never be in a club. I don't need anyone telling me when and where to ride. Just my opinion !
The sunglasses and glove etiquette goes back a long ways. Farmers and country folk always did this, very traditional. Eyes are the window to the soul and shows who you really are.
Absolutely this. Shaking someone's hand with your dirty work gloves sends the message that you have no respect for them, and not taking off your sunglasses and looking them in the eye is like saying "you're not worth my time, respect or honesty." It's a really bad way to start off an interaction. And that carried through from farming, riding horses, etc into the biker culture where one of the biggest insults is disrespectful behavior and treating them like they're beneath you
I wear glasses, put them on in the morning, take them off when I go to bed. When I ride I wear prescription riding glasses that turn dark in the sun. Wearing glasses are such a regular thing in my life that I don't even think about them. I use them to see. It never even occurs to me. I forget.
So , a person just does all the things they should do all the time with everybody . Everything you mention was taught to me by my mother 50 years ago as just being polite
You. Like all the others, use your words as a convenience, just like reading the Bible. You can be as bad ass as you wanna be in my club. But you STILL need to have respect for others..like your brothers! A true 1%er lives by a code, NOT RULES. So take your “Lone Wolf” ass out there and getter’dun! Ain’t nobody stopping you you! Let’s see what you got Barney!
If you own a business, and hire family and friends without rules...how well will that go? They'll come late to work, slack off, take shit without paying and run the business to the ground. Rules are made to keep the establishment up. One bad move or decision could cause a Rico act against everyone with a patch. There has to be discipline or it's a free for all and nothing last.
Offense is more often taken than given. So getting mad at somebody saying brother is exactly like getting mad at "micro aggressions." It's snowflake behavior.
I'm certainly not the guy coming to the defense of MC clubs, but I can relate to this. If I don't know you, DON'T be calling me brother. And as for wearing sunglasses during introductions..... bad form anywhere.
You can shake my hand, call me brother… all the while wearing your gloves or shades and I’ll respect you the same. Everything else is childish and mediocre wannabe behaviors that has absolutely zero place in our society.
@@HarleyDavidsonMan I didn't serve with you in the military or have any other deep connection to you.... so I'm not going to call you brother. I would suggest you think it through before you say it to others you don't even know. To me it isn't fighting words or anything, just weird.... and I wouldn't plan to chat long with you. If you think it's childish to be concerned about such things, use it the next time you are introduced to an African American man and see how that fares (unless of course you happen to be one yourself).
@@mikeb8342 I use i the term all the time. Take it how you will but I’ve used it towards many people of all races and have never had an issue. Maybe it’s the type of people you associate with. Brother to me is more of a term of endearment rather than some slangy wannabe badass.
@@HarleyDavidsonMan it isn't about "badass", it's a term of endearment for someone you are close to. It's certainly not a casual greeting for a complete (or nearly so) stranger you just met. It would be like a man calling a woman he just met in polite company his love. It's just weird. It's not synonymous with "dude" and I don't call anyone "bro". Maybe a regional thing? IDK, but please..... don't call me brother.
Rolled for 10 years with a patch on my back. We always used our road names during any introductions to include any of the "big" clubs. Your government name was saved for intimate conversations at the appropriate time. Only those I considered my Brothers knew my "real name" everyone else knows me by my road name, and no my road name is not my RUclips name. Otherwise, I agree. It is all about showing respect as men.
Thats a tricky one though. Guys I ride with know my road name, I dont mind if another rider introduces himself by his and vice versa. In my daily business I'm known by my real name and so are you. If however, some somewhat stranger fellow says " Remember me? I'm Bhudda, met you at Ringo's", thats ok. (That doesn't mean we are brothers. ) Shaking hands with gloves on is a little strange though whoever you are.
Ok he is coming at this as a Christian minister not a 1%, so you should use your real name. And be honest how else will anyone with or without a patch will believe anything you say.
@@bobtwobeers6286 I understand I am a retired life member patch with an MC and then was a patch with an established MM (Motorcycle Ministry) and in both organizations none of us used our legal names. We always used our road names 24/7. This is my personal experience in both sides of the MC world for over a decade, and it applied to both Christian and Non-believer. Thanks.
MC rules apply to MC members only....somewhere along the line they got the impression that everyone else who rides a bike should either care or also follow their rules. Play in your own silly little world. Don't try to impose it on everyone else.
When I was a little boy and I had no idea about bikes and MC's my dad taught me to never shake a hand with my gloves on because it's disrespectful, same with glasses.
I'm going to form a motorcycle club for older women like myself. We will ride Italian step through scooters and we'll be called the Vesparados. Do you think that will be seen as a threat to 1%ers?
You would think. But in reality there is one alpha who tells the pack what to wear, how ro wear it, where to ride, when to ride, how to wipe their ass, and these mindless a-holes just follow like sheep. It's a joke. And furthermore, if you drop your cut for anyone you're a punk bi*ch and they should take your bike too.
"We don't derive our identity from our vests...that's why we make you take yours off when we demand it!"😂 😂 😂 What a bunch of posers! Wanna be tough guys who derive 100% of their identity from the bike, the cut, the rocker, and the bloated windbags drinking beer next to them 🍻

Rules are made to keep the establishment up. One bad move or decision could cause a Rico act against everyone with a patch. There has to be discipline or it's a free for all and nothing last. Some shit is stupid and it's not the same for every club. It's meant to keep the new guys from acting out a fucking it up 4 everyone
@@V10Contractor rules within your organization and/or on your property, yes... great. Rules YOU have for OTHERS outside of your organization and/or property, no. Your organization doesn't have LEGAL authority to tell people what they can or can't wear..... especially if they aren't wearing anything that could possibly be mistaken for your orgs gear. Any attempt to enforce an illegitimate "law"/rule is bully/gang-like activity. You guys aren't the only ones with guns. There are a growing number of States with Constitutional carry and the number of issued carry permits in others is not just growing, but accelerating. Might want to chew on that the next time you threaten someone with any kind of violence over a freaking vest. "Stay in your lane, bro.... stay in your lane." (Popular commercial in case you weren't aware) Not say'n, just say'n.
@@mikeb8342 you think things are like in the TV shows and movies. I haven't seen a club walking around enforcing rules to others. Adults should learn to mind their business and respect others choices. No one is out looking for trouble Mr lawyer. Don't talk to me about firearms, I've been acquitted of killing 2 in a self defense case in Central Florida, been shot twice in the abdomen and I'm a tactical firearms instructor and CWP trainer.. There is a difference between being a bully and breaking someone's eye socket who deserves it. You sound like one of those low testosterone pickle kisser that needs to be put in place. Now keep moving along sweet heart.
As an ex MC member, you're pretty much spot on, except if you're in colours ( club patches) you don't take them off for anyone, club or not..also don't interrupt 2 club members talking, if you're not in the conversation, stay out of it... They'll notice you wanted to say something ,it can most likely wait ..ride safe 😎😎
Doesn’t always work that way bud. You may die for refusing, depending on what club you’re dealing with. If you followed proper protocol and made a phone call for authorization to fly through then you likely won’t have an issue.
So if their bikes just got run over by a semi and are on fire in the parking lot, you should just stand there like a dummy until they acknowledge you? Got it.
I think what they meant was people who are part of Broken Chains should take off their vest. If someone is already in a MC and doesn't know to stand their ground with their colors, they're either a total dunce of a prospect... Or in a weekend warrior MC that's a total joke. But if you're not in a MC, and they tell you to take off your vest... You damn well take it off. (See my main video comment for my reasons behind that)
I''ll take my vest off whenever I want to, not because someone asked me to take it off, who the fuck are they.... I am not a member of any club besides HOG and my vest means nothing besides a piece of clothing but I aint doing shit just because you asked for it. Thats a disrespect to me and I will make sure you show me respect one way or another.
@@janetgreenslade9281 trust me its so damn easy. Just need to remember not everyone lives where you are at and there are much powerful people than a damn boys club 🤣

Love it good video on teaching people basic respect I don’t consider being respectful and act right rules but I guess that’s why there rules to help teach
what a damn joke , first off club names are ok, second off you should never remove your cut "IF YOUR LEGIT" you stand to put your whole club in jeopardy by doing so. last but not least every set operates differently so if this flies on your set great,but telling people in other places to do what works where you are is dangerous.
Uhm.....no. You're right about no gloves or sunglasses. That being said: -If you're in a club, and in colors, you typically introduce yourself by your road name. -If you're in a club, and in colors, ypu don't take those colors off for ANYBODY. -If you're not in a club, then 99% of the time, nobody is gonna tell you to take your vest off, unless you've got a patch on it that you ought not have, or that you didn't earn.
@@danwalker9999 that's fine for you. This life ain't for everyone. But just like any other facet of life, there are rules and accepted procedures. Ours just carry heavier consequences
never will make any sense that these outlaw, no rules , anti goverment , offensive to everyone around, break traffic laws and run modded and illegal bikes have more rules and codes of behaviour and get butthurt at the drop of a hat ..
Never join a motorcycle gang or club or hang out with people that are in them. ruclips.net/video/LlwFh2yZZT0/видео.html I would think that goes without saying, but apparently it does not.
Thanks for the video guys.. Bikers! remember! its all about making sure when the circle jerk is taking place, YOU GET INVITED!. so make sure new biker "friends" know you can really know the rules. Please make a video on assless chap etiquette also! when and when not to wear them and whether to have jeans or nothing on underneath.
I’m not sure who taught you club rules but you will get people hurt making videos about shit, so Fist off if you are doing a proper introduction it should be Name, Affiliation and “Location,” location is vital, because of territorial boundaries, especially to other MC! Second Never remove your Cut, they will think you are a joke, if they have a problem with your Cut to the point they have asked you to remove it and you can’t be a man about it then it’s better to respectfully turn around and leave, pray you make it out the door, an affiliated Cut is apart of our soul, our brotherhood is imbedded into that patch when it is given and accepted and if you disrespect your own patch then you disrespect theirs as well. Last you’re right you do not reach out your hand but if they reach out their hand, you damn sure better take it.
I have been around MCs for over 40 years, and the one thing I learn is the word "neighbor" works all the time, it shows respect and friendship, I am bad at remembering names, so I started using Neighbor back in the 70s, and most get A kick out of it, after all we are all neighbors, this one guy I knew I think he thought him name was neighbor that was all I ever call him, everyone called him shorty he was 6'3", I'm 6'5" and could not call him shorty it just did not fell right so neighbor it was, before long everyone was calling him neighbor, he was in the Bandidos and A few hanged out at an ice house my grandfather hug out in when I was growing up he and the owner was on the same ship at pearl harbor and after the war they stayed friend's. they always showed me the same respect I showed them, even if I was on A rice burner, and not my HD. you know how bad those AMF hd where, Hondas always ran.
So do Hinckley Triumphs. My new to me 12K mile 02 Daytona 955i is faster than any stock Harley. And a top end of about 155. As a sub 150 lb past retirement guy I don’t want to have to flog 800 lbs of bike. I like the Harley potato potato idle but that parallel triple whine near 10,000rpm really gets my pulse going v
Hey - no fare. I tried to find a way to contact you in the 'About Section". Your Etiquette comes from basic respect for another individual. That impressed me. I had an idea regarding Motorcycle Safety I wanted to share. And can you get involved? I am certified by, but am not associated with nor represent the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. I feel their message should resonate far more considering just in 2019, over 5,000 motorcyclists lost their lives in accidents, and some 70,000 were injured. I tried to contact them about an idea, but they seemed to be closed for the season. I wear a reflective vest and have thought all day how cool it would be to have an MSF Patch on its back. Could you imagine bikers of all sorts starting to see folks with the MSF patch, Nation and even worldwide, and then learning that it is a standard, if to be considered competent in one's biking? There was a guy that illegally zoomed by today while I maintained cushion space at a light on Rt1 South. I wonder if instead he saw MSF patches on bikers sitting at a light, would he think about it, and what he is doing? Would he wonder what MSF was, and was he some fool? Now imagine MSF Rides and furthered awareness at Biker Fests etc. I feel eventually many bikers might want to get with the program and where the MSF colors too with their other patches. Thanks for reading this - be well
I understand your idea, but that's not something that most riders, or at least bikers (compared to motorcyclists) will want to do. The M.S.F. course is great, but most people don't take the other ones. It would be good to do, but you gain experience, everyday that you ride, too. People (bikers, at least) will see wearing that patch as nerdy. Showing your skills on the road instead of your vest is best. And speed doesn't necessarily mean unsafe. It's how you ride; that includes how observant you are, and quick you are to react. Also, you might consider getting some of your own patches made in reflective thread, instead of wearing a reflective vest. That way, you can have a regular vest that you can put patches on. You could also get some reflective stitching done on it.
Anybody remember any stories from the old timers that started the original clubs? Seems like it'd be an interesting thing to hear about how it felt before they got together.
Jesus H Criminny. I am now finding myself carefully choosing which rock shirt would be appropriately without offending some sensitive biker blaming me for all of their scrupulous hard work they have done in their "MC" club. They fit right in with this cancel generation. I guess it is a serving their country thing.
I've ridden for over 50 years now. Ridden along with clubs, been a member of a club, gone to BIG (and small) gatherings, and numerous club parties. And not once, EVER have I had an issue. Mainly because I show due respect and walk humbly. (Seen more than a few beatdowns, though)
I don't wear a vest. If I did, it probably wouldn't have a bunch of patches on it (well... maybe some of my unit patches from my grunt days on the front). I see no reason why anyone would ask me to remove my vest (short of bullying people), and less of a reason for me to comply (especially if I DO have some military patches on it). I get there's this whole "three patches" thing and while I don't really care about that, I don't plan on putting MC patches on any jacket or vest. What I don't get is if I'm in a public space (as opposed to their private property) they feel they have authority to tell me I can't wear a vest (or pass them in an adjacent lane, or whatever). I really hope I don't find myself in a situation to find out, but I'm pretty sure if force is applied to coerce me into doing/not doing something I legally and morally can do, it won't end well..... and that doesn't mean for me. Happy trails/lanes to all.
@The Screaming Chicken I can see how someone might call several rogue LEOs working together a gang..... but the military? BTDT and NEVER did we operate as a gang. Sorry there darling.... rules do not equal gang. A group committing crime defines a gang.
Sun glasses and gloves are a definite no .But I use my road/club never had any issues .Was asked last week to take my cut off at bar ,a bar I go ,and worn my cut in there before told them i would finish my drink and leave don't take it off for nobody.A d my money spends everywhere
I hung up my spurs many years ago, waiting for the kids to all be grown. I am older now, maybe two old to sit one anymore but I had thought about something like Bikers for Christ or similar ministry. I'm not in recovery so wouldn't be a fit for y'all but I thank God you are out there doing what you do. God bless, keep and protect you as you lead others out of the darkness.
77 returning hardcore British bike guy. Just bought a 12K mile 02 Triumph Daytona with cans & map by Matt Capri. Stock runs 11 flat & about 3.3 0-60. Should be a couple of tenths quicker as set up. Got inspired by an 83 yo returning ride who bought a Rocket 3
@@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454 Daytonas are movers, at least they used to be. They corner like they're on rails too. FWIW, mine had fixed foot pegs and I had bevels ground into both sides from cornering on a favorite stretch of road. Mine was a '65.
@@KyleCowden In that day I was big on Norton. Specifically a built Dominator that beat everything off the line in the day but could still do the ton easily. The Daytona 955i will at least dispose of all stock Harleys and about everything else except Gixxers, busas & ninjas. So after not riding for decades I wanted something with a little punch so I didn’t feel like a Model A driver or such. I still feel the need. Ended up zeroing in specifically on 02 to 04 955i Daytonas. Seems like a reasonable update for modern times. Looked at almost everything from 1965 to about 2015 and that model Daytona in silver called my name & a great friend helped facilitate it so it didn’t get sold to the next in line. It is in transit now, arriving soon. And I feel like I’m 25 again. Except for the amount of liniment per hundred miles lol.
Loved this video, took me a second to figure out that you were a Christian motorcycle club. The celebrate recovery shirt should have been a give away. Keep up the mission brothers.
And for the record “I CALL EVERY OTHER MAN BROTHER!” Because we ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN!! I’ll call anyone BROTHER that I want to! They can ask me politely not too but direct disrespect will be answered with the same energy
I was asked to take my patched up riding vest off by well known biker gang in Washington a few years back ! I told the 3 guys who walked up and demanded I take it off “I’m not taking off shit and this is a protect your ground state and by the video cameras all around YOU just walked up on me and I have 2 pistols with enough ammo to take all 3 of you out and all your buddies you brought with you! So go ahead and do what you do and ima do what I do !” They didn’t like that but IDGAF they ALL walked away smiling and talking shit! I paid for my shit and earned my patches through MY BROTHERS WHO TF IS ANYONE TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CANT DO!! You can try that shit with normal people but with someone like me you’ll get killed trying to take something off my body!!
Not in a club, but that’s simple man to man etiquette. Take your glasses off when introducing yourself, and gloves always come off for a FIRM handshake. No floppy dead fish shit
When you call someone "brother" in a Christian MC, you are completely right in your assumption and it should respected immediately.....because we are "brothers in Christ", not some stupid typical MC brotherhood bullcrap where you have to earn your right to a "brotherhood"
It's a matter of respect, period. Folks can't look you in the eye with shades, and not taking your gloves off makes me wonder what they're hiding. I'm not in a MC, but knew a lot of folks that were in my younger days.
The glove thing isn't about hiding something. Gloves are worn to protect your hands, whether riding, wrenching, or fighting. They're covered in bugs, grease, dirt, and blood. Why would you wipe that filth on another man, that you're supposedly greeting?
@@deangullberry5148, A lot of guys don't wash their hands, after going to the restroom. Why would you want that filth on your hands? And this isn't a biker movie. I'm betting that a lot of bikers (including club members) don't have greasy and bloody gloves. I get the sunglasses thing, and I can even get the glove thing, to a degree. It seems odd, to wear gloves, unless fingerless, just walking around, or to shake with. Your reasoning was easily flipped, though.
Pleased to meet you sounds like you say that to everyone over ambitious. How do you know you are pleased to meet them when you just introduce the first time?. Maybe say that as you leave. A simple how you going, Nice scoot you have, I heard it on the road along side me and thought i had to check it out and then your name may be a more realistic start. Then ask some questions about their bike and complimenting some mods they have on it. People love it when others notice their effort they have put in etc. Then let them roll off about all the rest of the bike. Just listen and only talk when something really intrests you about aspects they bring up. Its simple they mention i had the heads all done, Machined, ported and polished with upgraded seats valves and springs etc and you can ask wow i noticed it sounded more lumpy the the regular stoke model. So its had the cams done obviously?, what cams have you got in it and who did the machine work?. Then let them keep talking by now your fully engaged with conversation and let it go at it own steam where it may. Don't try to be someone your not if you don't know bikes comment on the sound, the paint the geometry and general looks of their bike. Let them tell you about it. Its their soul, pride and joy. Just be yourself don't be fake they will smell bullshit a mile away and you don't want to come across as a narc or a dog. Take note of the patches on their vests. You don't want to walk straight up to the President or SOA or a nomad or one with a number of colored wings on the front. Probably not the guy with the FUCK YOU or FUCK OFF patch either. They grey beards with full patches but but just the regular club patches no extras if any just event patches is ok to. If the others approch you keep your cool and just talk to them but try not to approch them first. Best introduced to the higher up members by other club members. The Nomination members may be cool but some can be trying to prove something so i don't advise engaging with them to much maybe just to get into the show via a gate or something. Just leave the women alone if they ingage you keep it short and sweet. Just be nice your a fish out of water swimming with a pool of sharks. Never ear drop or say i overheard a bloke saying this or that. Don't name drop other members of other clubs you have met, Don't talk about other clubs. Don't over talk or butt in on 2 or more member having a conversation. Im not a club member, Never have been, Have no ambition to be. But in my years or riding ive met a few and have had discussion with them. What i suggested is a simple guide line for first approch or meet up. I think the example given in the video was a little over enthusiastic and a little to much energy. You don't wat to be going up to them fast. For all they know you could be pulling a blade not a hand. Just be more casual, Even say gidday or nice day for a ride whilst you still on your bike after getting you helmet off. Then kick out your stand get off your bike walk around casually not looking at them but their bike as you approch. Comment on it then introduce yourself. This way it doesn't look like your comming at them. And your not a threat. You have to remember this man was a president so he is used to walking up to people with more front like displayed and it may work for him but definitely not for most people.
I like seein' veteran bikers on here. Ya hear it from people with decades of experience guys. Not some kids that make up a club, get tatto's and start offering the ABC's of being a biker. Then want ya to buy their tshirt crap. Listen to guys that have lived it like these guys. They dont need no loud rock and explosions in their vids.
Saw a video where a biker takes a (probably amazon bought) vest off some weekend warrior. Dude coughed it up no problems and took off as soon as the light was green. If its a fictional cut or not even an mc specific cut, whats the big deal
I'm never uncomfortable......I ride alone. Sometimes I pick my nose with my gloves on.... And wipe it on my sunglasses. Yeah, It makes it hard to see, buy I don't have any protocol to remember. Onward, through the fog.........brothers.
I'd agree to everything up until taking my vest off. I don't even have a vest, but if I did, it is certainly not going to be anyones blanket and pacifier.
No true biker is following any little rules. Ill introduce myself any way i want to and if i say brother, ill say brother. I aint following no rules on yt.
Here’s a legit question. If motorcycle clubs were founded by war vets…how did hand shakes become the standard? Because I have ptsd and only fist bump due to anxiety hands…. Unless we’re into wet hand shakes…. Then you’re golden. 😂
These funny comments saying “I don’t want to be in an MC, too many rules, and I ride alone.” OK great… if you’re so independent then why you feel the need to broadcast your opinion everywhere 😂

Thank you for sharing. You are probably the coolest dude on RUclips right now.

@@BadazzShovelhead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You sound fun at parties
I agree
Bikers getting offended is as sure as the sun rising.
That's more of a club thing.
Love the video. It not only teaches respect, but then finishes with love.
I love how these tough guys go around getting offended
Why don't you tell them that to their face.
It's not about getting offended. It's all RESPECT. It stems from the Military.
You should prob stick to sniffing your pinky, or as Graham says..say it to their faces..
I'm sure you do....from a distance.
🤣
Is it ok if I wear a vest, helmet and ride a bike with turn signals? I don't want to offend any overly sensitive bikers.
Ha, ha
Rolled for 10 years with a patch on my back. We always used our road names during any introductions to include any of the "big" clubs. Your government name was saved for intimate conversations at the appropriate time. Only those I considered my Brothers knew my "real name" everyone else knows me by my road name, and no my road name is not my RUclips name. Otherwise, I agree. It is all about showing respect as men.
Yep same here
You are correct. We use road names. Real names are for brothers.
Thats a tricky one though. Guys I ride with know my road name, I dont mind if another rider introduces himself by his and vice versa. In my daily business I'm known by my real name and so are you. If however, some somewhat stranger fellow says " Remember me? I'm Bhudda, met you at Ringo's", thats ok. (That doesn't mean we are brothers. ) Shaking hands with gloves on is a little strange though whoever you are.
Ok he is coming at this as a Christian minister not a 1%, so you should use your real name. And be honest how else will anyone with or without a patch will believe anything you say.
@@bobtwobeers6286 I understand I am a retired life member patch with an MC and then was a patch with an established MM (Motorcycle Ministry) and in both organizations none of us used our legal names. We always used our road names 24/7. This is my personal experience in both sides of the MC world for over a decade, and it applied to both Christian and Non-believer. Thanks.
So essentially be polite and show each other respect
MC rules apply to MC members only....somewhere along the line they got the impression that everyone else who rides a bike should either care or also follow their rules. Play in your own silly little world. Don't try to impose it on everyone else.
When I was a little boy and I had no idea about bikes and MC's my dad taught me to never shake a hand with my gloves on because it's disrespectful, same with glasses.
I'm going to form a motorcycle club for older women like myself. We will ride Italian step through scooters and we'll be called the Vesparados. Do you think that will be seen as a threat to 1%ers?
You won't get that name sanctioned.
HOW IRONIC!!! IT ALL STARTED BY PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T LIKE TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO!!!
Lol my thought exactly abd Im in a M/C
You would think. But in reality there is one alpha who tells the pack what to wear, how ro wear it, where to ride, when to ride, how to wipe their ass, and these mindless a-holes just follow like sheep. It's a joke. And furthermore, if you drop your cut for anyone you're a punk bi*ch and they should take your bike too.
What if a guy walked up and demanded that he needed my clothes, my boots, and my motorcycle? Should I fight him, or give it to him?
If he forgets to say please you should at least put your cigar out on his chest, but you may regret it
I can hear your comment 🤣
Try putting a cigar out on his chest first to see if that deters him.
Don't try to fight him ,he is the terminator
Introvert rider . Rules need not apply . Have a great day
"We don't derive our identity from our vests...that's why we make you take yours off when we demand it!"😂 😂 😂 What a bunch of posers! Wanna be tough guys who derive 100% of their identity from the bike, the cut, the rocker, and the bloated windbags drinking beer next to them 🍻
For a bunch of rebels you guys sure have a lot of rules.
Yehaw Walmart doesn't have so may ruled
If you own a business, and hire family and friends without rules...how well will that go? They'll come late to work, slack off, take shit without paying and run the business to the ground. Rules are made to keep the establishment up. One bad move or decision could cause a Rico act against everyone with a patch. There has to be discipline or it's a free for all and nothing last. Some shit is stupid and it's not the same for every club. It's meant to keep the new guys from acting out a fucking it up 4 everyone
Rules and respect are not the same.
@@V10Contractor rules within your organization and/or on your property, yes... great. Rules YOU have for OTHERS outside of your organization and/or property, no. Your organization doesn't have LEGAL authority to tell people what they can or can't wear..... especially if they aren't wearing anything that could possibly be mistaken for your orgs gear. Any attempt to enforce an illegitimate "law"/rule is bully/gang-like activity. You guys aren't the only ones with guns. There are a growing number of States with Constitutional carry and the number of issued carry permits in others is not just growing, but accelerating. Might want to chew on that the next time you threaten someone with any kind of violence over a freaking vest. "Stay in your lane, bro.... stay in your lane." (Popular commercial in case you weren't aware) Not say'n, just say'n.
@@mikeb8342 you think things are like in the TV shows and movies. I haven't seen a club walking around enforcing rules to others. Adults should learn to mind their business and respect others choices. No one is out looking for trouble Mr lawyer. Don't talk to me about firearms, I've been acquitted of killing 2 in a self defense case in Central Florida, been shot twice in the abdomen and I'm a tactical firearms instructor and CWP trainer.. There is a difference between being a bully and breaking someone's eye socket who deserves it. You sound like one of those low testosterone pickle kisser that needs to be put in place. Now keep moving along sweet heart.
As an ex MC member, you're pretty much spot on, except if you're in colours ( club patches) you don't take them off for anyone, club or not..also don't interrupt 2 club members talking, if you're not in the conversation, stay out of it...
They'll notice you wanted to say something ,it can most likely wait ..ride safe 😎😎
Doesn’t always work that way bud. You may die for refusing, depending on what club you’re dealing with. If you followed proper protocol and made a phone call for authorization to fly through then you likely won’t have an issue.
@@shiner2505 agreed , should always call ahead..
So if their bikes just got run over by a semi and are on fire in the parking lot, you should just stand there like a dummy until they acknowledge you? Got it.
@@benpress8884what? That's not at all the same thing as not interrupting a conversation. 🤦🏻♂️
I think what they meant was people who are part of Broken Chains should take off their vest. If someone is already in a MC and doesn't know to stand their ground with their colors, they're either a total dunce of a prospect... Or in a weekend warrior MC that's a total joke. But if you're not in a MC, and they tell you to take off your vest... You damn well take it off. (See my main video comment for my reasons behind that)
I would say to avoid the situation as they're going to look at you as an outisider anyway.
I ride a Honda Rebel 300 (AKA a glorified moped) so I just assume all bikers hate me whether they're in an MC or not. 🤣
It's not what you ride.
It's THAT you ride.
I''ll take my vest off whenever I want to, not because someone asked me to take it off, who the fuck are they.... I am not a member of any club besides HOG and my vest means nothing besides a piece of clothing but I aint doing shit just because you asked for it. Thats a disrespect to me and I will make sure you show me respect one way or another.
Easy to say that - wont be the same when you have a whole chapter stood in front of you!

Love it good video on teaching people basic respect I don’t consider being respectful and act right rules but I guess that’s why there rules to help teach
what a damn joke , first off club names are ok, second off you should never remove your cut "IF YOUR LEGIT" you stand to put your whole club in jeopardy by doing so. last but not least every set operates differently so if this flies on your set great,but telling people in other places to do what works where you are is dangerous.
First and only comment I can agree with on here. I'm also done reading after seeing so many wannabes, and maybe a couple that actually live the life.
So what you saying is there be some bikin snowflakes huh.
Rules to live by. Whether you Ride or not. You have to show respect to get respect. Even in a McDonalds.
Uhm.....no.
You're right about no gloves or sunglasses. That being said:
-If you're in a club, and in colors, you typically introduce yourself by your road name.
-If you're in a club, and in colors, ypu don't take those colors off for ANYBODY.
-If you're not in a club, then 99% of the time, nobody is gonna tell you to take your vest off, unless you've got a patch on it that you ought not have, or that you didn't earn.
I can't even remotely understand why anyone would want to be part of an organization that you would have to worry about this silly kindergarten stuff.
@@danwalker9999 that's fine for you. This life ain't for everyone. But just like any other facet of life, there are rules and accepted procedures. Ours just carry heavier consequences
Some people new to the biking culture need to learn it's common courtesy. Respect begets respect , in any culture.
My brother doesn't like Harleys.
I tend to avoid groups of people because it gets expensive.
never will make any sense that these outlaw, no rules , anti goverment , offensive to everyone around, break traffic laws and run modded and illegal bikes have more rules and codes of behaviour and get butthurt at the drop of a hat ..
They get a lot of it from prison !
Amazing that common courtesy and manners need to be taught on RUclips. Kudos gentleman.
But, what I wanted to know, was how you place your knifes, forks and spoons next to your dinner plate ?
Or stay away from clubs because their business ain't none of yours.
I don't ride a motorcycle to listen to rules, have a boss, or interact with other human beings.
Never join a motorcycle gang or club or hang out with people that are in them.
ruclips.net/video/LlwFh2yZZT0/видео.html
I would think that goes without saying, but apparently it does not.
I'll never have that problem I'm not making introductions to a one percenter Club anymore than I would the Crips or the Bloods or MS-13.
And take off those patches too. Wanna b
Thanks for the video guys.. Bikers! remember! its all about making sure when the circle jerk is taking place, YOU GET INVITED!. so make sure new biker "friends" know you can really know the rules. Please make a video on assless chap etiquette also! when and when not to wear them and whether to have jeans or nothing on underneath.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never ever wear those
I’m not sure who taught you club rules but you will get people hurt making videos about shit, so Fist off if you are doing a proper introduction it should be Name, Affiliation and “Location,” location is vital, because of territorial boundaries, especially to other MC! Second Never remove your Cut, they will think you are a joke, if they have a problem with your Cut to the point they have asked you to remove it and you can’t be a man about it then it’s better to respectfully turn around and leave, pray you make it out the door, an affiliated Cut is apart of our soul, our brotherhood is imbedded into that patch when it is given and accepted and if you disrespect your own patch then you disrespect theirs as well. Last you’re right you do not reach out your hand but if they reach out their hand, you damn sure better take it.
“We find our identity in Jesus Christ” Praise God!
For a "society" that lives free, you sure have a lot of rules...
Not rules, just what used to be known as manners…. Don’t see it much now.
Ya alot of rules .

The difference is they follow rules they decide on and you follow rules dictaded to you
@@chrisman1985 "mc thug" ok bro go disrespect a pack of bikers an see how tough you are
I have been around MCs for over 40 years, and the one thing I learn is the word "neighbor" works all the time, it shows respect and friendship, I am bad at remembering names, so I started using Neighbor back in the 70s, and most get A kick out of it, after all we are all neighbors, this one guy I knew I think he thought him name was neighbor that was all I ever call him, everyone called him shorty he was 6'3", I'm 6'5" and could not call him shorty it just did not fell right so neighbor it was, before long everyone was calling him neighbor, he was in the Bandidos and A few hanged out at an ice house my grandfather hug out in when I was growing up he and the owner was on the same ship at pearl harbor and after the war they stayed friend's. they always showed me the same respect I showed them, even if I was on A rice burner, and not my HD. you know how bad those AMF hd where, Hondas always ran.
So do Hinckley Triumphs. My new to me 12K mile 02 Daytona 955i is faster than any stock Harley. And a top end of about 155. As a sub 150 lb past retirement guy I don’t want to have to flog 800 lbs of bike. I like the Harley potato potato idle but that parallel triple whine near 10,000rpm really gets my pulse going v

Hey - no fare. I tried to find a way to contact you in the 'About Section". Your Etiquette comes from basic respect for another individual. That impressed me. I had an idea regarding Motorcycle Safety I wanted to share. And can you get involved?
I am certified by, but am not associated with nor represent the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. I feel their message should resonate far more considering just in 2019, over 5,000 motorcyclists lost their lives in accidents, and some 70,000 were injured. I tried to contact them about an idea, but they seemed to be closed for the season.
I wear a reflective vest and have thought all day how cool it would be to have an MSF Patch on its back. Could you imagine bikers of all sorts starting to see folks with the MSF patch, Nation and even worldwide, and then learning that it is a standard, if to be considered competent in one's biking?
There was a guy that illegally zoomed by today while I maintained cushion space at a light on Rt1 South. I wonder if instead he saw MSF patches on bikers sitting at a light, would he think about it, and what he is doing? Would he wonder what MSF was, and was he some fool?
Now imagine MSF Rides and furthered awareness at Biker Fests etc. I feel eventually many bikers might want to get with the program and where the MSF colors too with their other patches.
Thanks for reading this - be well
I understand your idea, but that's not something that most riders, or at least bikers (compared to motorcyclists) will want to do. The M.S.F. course is great, but most people don't take the other ones. It would be good to do, but you gain experience, everyday that you ride, too. People (bikers, at least) will see wearing that patch as nerdy. Showing your skills on the road instead of your vest is best. And speed doesn't necessarily mean unsafe. It's how you ride; that includes how observant you are, and quick you are to react.
Also, you might consider getting some of your own patches made in reflective thread, instead of wearing a reflective vest. That way, you can have a regular vest that you can put patches on. You could also get some reflective stitching done on it.
@@RayfordRaySiegel Thanks for your reply !
I dont like shaking hands with strangers. I dont mind saying hello, if i happen to stumble upon a group.
Anybody remember any stories from the old timers that started the original clubs? Seems like it'd be an interesting thing to hear about how it felt before they got together.
Jesus H Criminny. I am now finding myself carefully choosing which rock shirt would be appropriately without offending some sensitive biker blaming me for all of their scrupulous hard work they have done in their "MC" club. They fit right in with this cancel generation. I guess it is a serving their country thing.
we need more vids like this to get new riders involved so the proper ways dont die
I don't have time to meet them because I'm too busy riding!
I just give them a head bob and keep walking.
Call me chicken shit or whatever.
“ I don’t want a fickle , I just wanna ride my motor cickle “.
I've ridden for over 50 years now. Ridden along with clubs, been a member of a club, gone to BIG (and small) gatherings, and numerous club parties. And not once, EVER have I had an issue. Mainly because I show due respect and walk humbly.
(Seen more than a few beatdowns, though)
I don't wear a vest. If I did, it probably wouldn't have a bunch of patches on it (well... maybe some of my unit patches from my grunt days on the front). I see no reason why anyone would ask me to remove my vest (short of bullying people), and less of a reason for me to comply (especially if I DO have some military patches on it). I get there's this whole "three patches" thing and while I don't really care about that, I don't plan on putting MC patches on any jacket or vest. What I don't get is if I'm in a public space (as opposed to their private property) they feel they have authority to tell me I can't wear a vest (or pass them in an adjacent lane, or whatever). I really hope I don't find myself in a situation to find out, but I'm pretty sure if force is applied to coerce me into doing/not doing something I legally and morally can do, it won't end well..... and that doesn't mean for me.
Happy trails/lanes to all.
@The Screaming Chicken I can see how someone might call several rogue LEOs working together a gang..... but the military? BTDT and NEVER did we operate as a gang. Sorry there darling.... rules do not equal gang. A group committing crime defines a gang.

Common sense and good manners keeps you safe, but nobody tells you to take off your cut or patch, that is a big no no, and total disrespect.
Right
Sun glasses and gloves are a definite no .But I use my road/club never had any issues .Was asked last week to take my cut off at bar ,a bar I go ,and worn my cut in there before told them i would finish my drink and leave don't take it off for nobody.A d my money spends everywhere
“We find our identity in Jesus Christ.” Love this video. We all need to earn the respect. Take it off if you don’t deserve it!
Amen. And Amen.
No. You don't take your own vest off. That makes no sense. That's not even respect. It's cowering.

So after not riding for decades I wanted something with a little punch so I didn’t feel like a Model A driver or such. I still feel the need.

Not in a club, but that’s simple man to man etiquette. Take your glasses off when introducing yourself, and gloves always come off for a FIRM handshake. No floppy dead fish shit
COMMON sense. Which most people lack..... STEP WITH RESPECT......this generation,,, wasn't taught..to respect..ANYONE ,ANYTHING

It's a matter of respect, period. Folks can't look you in the eye with shades, and not taking your gloves off makes me wonder what they're hiding. I'm not in a MC, but knew a lot of folks that were in my younger days.
Different type back in the days ?
The glove thing isn't about hiding something.
Gloves are worn to protect your hands, whether riding, wrenching, or fighting. They're covered in bugs, grease, dirt, and blood. Why would you wipe that filth on another man, that you're supposedly greeting?
@@deangullberry5148 Good point.
@@deangullberry5148,
A lot of guys don't wash their hands, after going to the restroom. Why would you want that filth on your hands? And this isn't a biker movie. I'm betting that a lot of bikers (including club members) don't have greasy and bloody gloves. I get the sunglasses thing, and I can even get the glove thing, to a degree. It seems odd, to wear gloves, unless fingerless, just walking around, or to shake with. Your reasoning was easily flipped, though.
yea dont bro me if ya dont know me. I hate that shit.
I WOULD NEVER TAKE MY vest off for anyone! That's absurd advice. 😊
Pleased to meet you sounds like you say that to everyone over ambitious. How do you know you are pleased to meet them when you just introduce the first time?. Maybe say that as you leave. A simple how you going, Nice scoot you have, I heard it on the road along side me and thought i had to check it out and then your name may be a more realistic start.
Then ask some questions about their bike and complimenting some mods they have on it. People love it when others notice their effort they have put in etc. Then let them roll off about all the rest of the bike. Just listen and only talk when something really intrests you about aspects they bring up. Its simple they mention i had the heads all done, Machined, ported and polished with upgraded seats valves and springs etc and you can ask wow i noticed it sounded more lumpy the the regular stoke model. So its had the cams done obviously?, what cams have you got in it and who did the machine work?. Then let them keep talking by now your fully engaged with conversation and let it go at it own steam where it may.
Don't try to be someone your not if you don't know bikes comment on the sound, the paint the geometry and general looks of their bike. Let them tell you about it. Its their soul, pride and joy. Just be yourself don't be fake they will smell bullshit a mile away and you don't want to come across as a narc or a dog. Take note of the patches on their vests. You don't want to walk straight up to the President or SOA or a nomad or one with a number of colored wings on the front. Probably not the guy with the FUCK YOU or FUCK OFF patch either. They grey beards with full patches but but just the regular club patches no extras if any just event patches is ok to. If the others approch you keep your cool and just talk to them but try not to approch them first. Best introduced to the higher up members by other club members. The Nomination members may be cool but some can be trying to prove something so i don't advise engaging with them to much maybe just to get into the show via a gate or something.
Just leave the women alone if they ingage you keep it short and sweet. Just be nice your a fish out of water swimming with a pool of sharks.
Never ear drop or say i overheard a bloke saying this or that. Don't name drop other members of other clubs you have met, Don't talk about other clubs. Don't over talk or butt in on 2 or more member having a conversation.
Im not a club member, Never have been, Have no ambition to be.
But in my years or riding ive met a few and have had discussion with them.
What i suggested is a simple guide line for first approch or meet up.
I think the example given in the video was a little over enthusiastic and a little to much energy.
You don't wat to be going up to them fast. For all they know you could be pulling a blade not a hand.
Just be more casual, Even say gidday or nice day for a ride whilst you still on your bike after getting you helmet off. Then kick out your stand get off your bike walk around casually not looking at them but their bike as you approch. Comment on it then introduce yourself.
This way it doesn't look like your comming at them. And your not a threat.
You have to remember this man was a president so he is used to walking up to people with more front like displayed and it may work for him but definitely not for most people.
Good to no out of respect
I like seein' veteran bikers on here. Ya hear it from people with decades of experience guys. Not some kids that make up a club, get tatto's and start offering the ABC's of being a biker. Then want ya to buy their tshirt crap. Listen to guys that have lived it like these guys. They dont need no loud rock and explosions in their vids.
I’m the liaison for my group to the COC, and people that I meet at meetings always use their road name. Other than that I agree.
Saw a video where a biker takes a (probably amazon bought) vest off some weekend warrior. Dude coughed it up no problems and took off as soon as the light was green. If its a fictional cut or not even an mc specific cut, whats the big deal
Can you make a video explaining how to pass. I'm saving up for a motorcycle and a class and I would like to be on the open road with no trouble
Good info though real good seen to many fuck that up
I'm never uncomfortable......I ride alone.
Sometimes I pick my nose with my gloves on....
And wipe it on my sunglasses.
Yeah, It makes it hard to see, buy I don't have any protocol to remember.
Onward, through the fog.........brothers.
I'd agree to everything up until taking my vest off. I don't even have a vest, but if I did, it is certainly not going to be anyones blanket and pacifier.
