- MOTORCYCLE CLUB PROSPECT DO’s and DONT’s
Reloaded after some editing and fixing technical issues. I wanted to clear up some misconceptions and help anyone who is thinking about becoming a prospect learn a few things. I hope this video helps and I want to say thank you to my family at the EMS Angels Motorcycle Club for their help and support.

"Never miss an opportunity to STFU".. love that!! I'm 7 days into prospecting I'll definitely remeber that one.....Respect
It’s great advice. I learned the hard way! Good luck and thanks for watching!
“Never miss an opportunity to STFU”…. That’s excellent advice for all walks of life. Really good advice and video. You can absolutely hear the passion in your voice for what you’re doing, and that’s a great thing my man. Keep on keeping on and don’t worry about the haters.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words and the feedback!
I'm gonna use that at work or my employees lol
As a 40yr old man in the same boat, much respect. It’s a humbling experience
Thank you very much. It will definitely humble you and teach you more than you would expect. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@BigSmittyRiding thanks and you too. You said a lot and it hit the nail on the head. Appreciate the response
Being a prospect in a 1% club is a whole different story than being a prospect in a EMS , Police or Firefighters MC or a ridering club ! Later Hades
Absolutely! I can’t speak from experience myself. But thank you for watching and for the feedback!
There is no such thing as a police MC. You have police motorcycle riders, police motorcycle enthusiasts. But you will never have a police MC.
Maybe not considered a true MC but we have a ton of LEMC patches here. Like a ton to f them.
@@brandonhamilton4039 What are you talking about? There is a ton of LEO MCs..
@@I_irritate_assholes A true M/C would never accept LEO into a club. If they make an oath to the law, and then break the law, they have no honor. If they turn an eye to a member breaking the law, they have no honor. If you are in a club, and you snitch on your “brothers” you’re not a brother.
I am not a club member of any kind, but you better believe I have respect for anyone who can prospect and be a contribution to there club. Good job and I had to comment cause I know it helps the algorithm
Thank you very much! I appreciate the comment and I appreciate you watching! I agree, much respect to anyone who has gone thru the process and has done what it takes to earn that full patch status!
@@BigSmittyRiding I got a 9 month old baby at home and I work 6 days a week. I can barely find free time to ride let alone have club responsibilities. Much respect to you, keep doin what your doin
Thank you! I’ve got 4 kids myself. It ain’t easy! But good on you! Working hard and raising your family is the most rewarding thing you can do!
This is 100% spot on. I love how you are showing the reality of the entire club world. You get what you give. Smitty, this is the best prospect video, in every way, I've ever seen. My Dad would be giving you mass kudos.
Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate that!
Great video! And those principles don't just apply to MC prospects, they should be applied everywhere in life. Always do your best to be your best for yourself as well as those around you, and for ANY organization you may be a part of. I will likely never be a prospect or even a hang-around, but I definitely appreciate that dedication to something. Much respect!
Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching! I agree that working hard and doing your best should be something we do everyday. I always appreciate when people who have no desire to be in a club see the value in certain aspects of club life! Thanks again!
Good video remember if it ain’t in your heart don’t put it on your back. This life is for you or it’s not if it’s not it’s not.
Thank you very much for the feedback and for your help. I greatly appreciate it
I respect you and the journey you are on. Stay safe and stay blessed brother.
Thank you very much Zed!
Awesome work Smitty! I’m excited to see your journey to full membership! Very informative video and cleared up some misconceptions I had.
Thanks Fett! I appreciate that and I appreciate you watching buddy!
Once a Prospect, always a Prospect.
Absolutely!!! Great advice!
Dedication, loyalty, respect and attitude. You have all of the desired traits clubs look for. Congrats, and enjoy prospecting, some of the best times of my life!
Cheers

Thank you very much! I appreciate the encouragement and the advice. It always helps when a club member gives advice from their experience. I greatly appreciate it!
Let’s go!!! Killing it with these prospect Vids Fam. Love it. 🤙🏾🔥
Thank you very much!
@@BigSmittyRiding 🤙🏾🔥👊🏾
Thanks for putting this out there. I couldn't agree more with what you said. Going through the prospect phase right now.
Thanks for the support and good luck to you! It’ll all be worth it once you earn that patch!
I have been a full patch in my club since 2017 and when I was hang around I jumped up to help prospects out when they were slammed even after getting my Full Patch I never quit prospecting would still jump to help out good luck hope you get your patch and cherish it
Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm with you, never stop helping and never stop prospecting. I can't wait to get my patch but I'm enjoying the process! Thank you very much for the comment and for watching.
@@BigSmittyRiding how's prospect life
@@erickuhn703 well… my chapter dissolved. Made it 141 days as a prospect before it happened. Enjoyed my time in the club and as a prospect. Right now I’m waiting a few months out of respect and looking for the right club for me. Thanks for asking.
@@BigSmittyRiding sorry to hear that and understand that don't give up right one will come
@@erickuhn703 I appreciate that. Thank you.
excellent advice for future prospects and anyone looking to get involved with an mc. i spent 18 months in my prospect period and i learned so much information. Keep up the good content man! earned yourself a sub from me.
Thank you very much for the kind words and the feedback. Congrats on getting full patch and ride safe!
Great vid. Been working hard to make Prospect with my club. Will be a awsome day when that day comes. Can always learn. 🙌🏻👊🏻
That’s awesome! Good luck and thank you very much for watching!
Solid video…solid advise for people who are not into MC’s. Especially if they are gonna be around the community. Knowing “some protocol” is smart if you intend to be in the company of MC’s. Good stuff man!
Thank you very much! Yeah, I tried to just keep it generic and hopefully help folks out. Thanks again for watching!
HEY! Wild on 2 was the other one beside ProMonkey that are real guys that know. They both are awesome, and you too dude. Great vids. Keep it up. Luvya man
Thank you very much! Both of those guys are good dudes that are real stand up guys. Thanks for watching and for the support!
Thank you for making this video. Solid advice and much appreciated.
Thanks for watching and for the support!
Good Video, and good luck with the rest of your Prospect Phase
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Being a Prospect is an honor. Should be treated as such. Never wait to be told to do anything. Always stand up for your Club. My brother is bringing me to the Clubhouse this weekend and I am meeting the Chapter President. I spent 7 years in the US Army and I miss the camaraderie with the soldiers I served with. So being a prospect to me is an honor. Hell wash a members bike. Naw. Detail it. Make is shine like a diamond.
Man good luck to you. You have the right attitude and you seem to be motivated. I agree with everything you said. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
@@BigSmittyRiding thank you. I am now a supporting member of the Legion Riders Post 443 Elmira NY. I have to get my motorcycle license before being a full member so I am taking the course and it’s 2 days
That’s awesome! Congratulations!
I respect anybody with a vision of themselves and then they go get it....your awesome and will be a strong asset to your club.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the kind words. I have a goal and I’m gonna work my ass off to achieve it!
Respect man. All the best on your journey👊🏽
Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it!

Outstanding information Prospect. I appreciate your input, and real life MC communication. Thanks so much..👍👍
Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching!
Hell yeah ! Nice video BSR ! Keep on kicking buddy ! Eddie
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Great breakdown of the process. Best of luck to you!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that!
Thank you bro, truly appreciated this video!
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the support.
Man kudos for such a great video. All love and support to you. Keep up the good work.
I'm here in Egypt in the phase of "Club Support". Looking forward to move for being a "hangaround" and then a "Prospect" :)
Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words. Good luck to you as you go thru the process of one day becoming a member! Learn as much as you can and show them that you are interested and willing to put the work in!
@@BigSmittyRiding
Many thanks Big Smitty. Best of luck :)
Thanks going to my first invite, It's just a open club night, but it means something to be invited. Thanks.
That's awesome! Have a good time and enjoy yourself!
This is really cool I’ve been watching videos on prospecting and hang around. No bone yet but when I get my bike I’ll be good and ready
Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching!
Smitty, you're a hard working badass! 💪
Thank you Steve! I appreciate that!!!
Man this guy's got some damn good advice. I'm getting close to prospecting for an Arkansas MC and been looking for tips.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. Good luck with the prospecting and enjoy the ride!!!

Thank you very much for watching. Much appreciated.
Had me confused. Thought didn’t I just watch this. Keep on!
Thanks for watching it again!
From one prospect to another your earned a new subscriber great video
Thank you very much. Much appreciated.
Good video!
People need to understand that they don’t have to understand.
If they don’t get this mc thing, they don’t even have to watch and comment. We people are individuals and that’s the whole beauty of it :)
Some are cut for the mc set, some are not. It doesn’t change his/her value as an individual.

I absolutely agree with you! Nor everyone is meant to be in an MC and that’s ok. I appreciate the feedback and thank you very much for watching!
Thanks for the information. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
Great video mate. Spoken with passion and truth. Good luck with your journey. I'm gonna say you'll get full membership.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words!
Thank you very much!
So mate, 1 years on. Are you a full member? 😮
@knightstar666 that chapter disbanded right before I became full patch. Currently not in a club but still enjoy riding with clubs every chance I get.
Lots of respect very good information for everyone keep it up
Thank you very much. I appreciate the support!
Hey there Big Smitty!! ... Thanks for this well made video on the subject of being a "Prospect" 👍👍.. I've been riding off and on all of my life and you are what we used to call a "Righteous" motorcycle enthusiast Man! .. Keep the rubber side down now!
💪✌️❤️🩹🇺🇸😎
Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate the kind words and the support! I’m glad you liked the video and be safe out there!
Yes I love Motorcycle Week in Laconia New Hampshire Man!... And Daytona Florida and let's not forget Sturgis too! 💪✌️❤️🩹🇺🇸😎
@@danielwalker1991 all great rally’s and fun times!!!
You never stop being a Prospect! Very good presentation, Man. Good luck in your journey!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!
I would like to Prospect one day for the right club for Me . Just dont know where to go and go about .
Former support here: Even though i didn't get to the prospect phase (gang dismantled in 2020), i really offered my help any time possible. Need spoons? Mikelodeon goes for them. Need smokes? Let Mikelodeon go get you some.
Also, when we finally got decent chairs, i went with the Sgt. at Arms (my sponsor) to mount them (We are best friends and we were on our university years) one by one in one afternoon and then stamping them up with the MG's logo.
When i met the main MC on our area (Abutres Europe) i stood there, i got introduced by the Sgt at Arms to one of the highest members in our country, my presence got accepted. I only spoke when i had to.
One protocol thing i did was to stand up when someone came into the Club House, even tho it was not needed to, the higher ups saw it as i was respecting the members.
One thing i remember very well is when i got the leather vest and the support patch: October the 1st 2019 (gang dismantled because the VP moved to Germany and the MC world was really unstable, so we had no option).
Last thing: I really loved to go to places with the vest on. It was amazing. I was representing the club, even tho i was just a support/hang around. People looked at us amazed by our colours. I really miss 2.19. BSSF
That’s very cool. Great advice and a very cool history. Thank you very much for watch and for sharing your experiences.
@@BigSmittyRiding Also thnx to you Mr Smitty
Thank you for this video. It really helps.
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
gday,, im 53 years old and always wanted to ride free,, just watched this video and you have just said music to my ears as they say,, thanks for the you wise words,,
Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching.
Congrats on your Prospect patch... Yeah, I'm late to the party, but hey... I'm here :D
Hey I appreciate the kind words and the support! Doesn’t matter when I’m just grateful for it!
Very good advice. Really liked the video.
Thank you very much!
Good info good accurate advice. Been missing out cause I forgot to hit bell. No more
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching!!!
I'm a prospect at the moment and I can honestly say that I honor my prospect patch, I feel it's a title of dedication and loyalty
That’s awesome! Good luck to you and thanks for watching!
@Big Smitty Riding no problem man thank you for putting out this helpful content man🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@MadMack Thank you. It's good when someone going through the process leaves feedback so others can see what's up. Much appreciated.
@Big Smitty Riding yessiirr any time man 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for the video brother this help me a lot I appreciate you
Thank you very much for the kind words and I’m glad it helped!
Great video man. Keep it up brother
Thank you very much my friend! I appreciate you!
Good jumping off video bud. Also maybe check out four for the road on podcast or youtube. There's a lot of info from dudes in different areas and different clubs contributing info there.
Keep grinding bud, best advice I can give is never stop working for your club. Remember titles and offices just mean more work, not less...
Thank you very much. I appreciate the feedback and the advice. I’m with you, never stop working! Thank you again for watching.
Thanks man you helped me out a lot. Hudson FL
Man I appreciate that. I’m glad the video helped. Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words!
Big Smitty much Respect to you and your club.i liked the way you put that down cus it's true.som guys really don't know what ther getting in to some times
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words and the feedback!
Respect! I wish I could be in a club like that. I wish I had that brotherhood.
Man I’m very fortunate to be a prospect and to be around a great club. There’s good clubs out there and good people. Look around and see what clubs are in your area and check them out. I’m sure you can find some good folks in your area. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@BigSmittyRiding love you're GUTTSSSS mugging
Another great video, keep up the good work! Also, I'd some info on your vest. Thnx in advance
Thank you very much! It’s one of the Renegade Classics brand vests. Black denim and leather. Bought locally in Houston but they have a few other shops. Look them up at www.bikeroutletstore.com/
You seem like a nice guy loved your video can't wait to see more
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words.
Good shit cuz I’m prospect rn and I love this shit 100% I get to learn and be shown how to be the best member of my club that I can be 🤘🏼🤘🏼
That’s great! Good luck and keep me posted when you get your full patch!
Great videos , I’ve learned and learning a lot from watching your videos . Everything said i take into consideration. A lot i did not know about cuts . I actually respect it a lot more. I wear a plain black cut when i ride and im a new rider . Learning about bikes “ my bike “ specially. Hope to one day owe a Harley Davidson n to have the honor to be a part of a club or even have the privilege to be a ride a long at that . I enjoy these videos .
Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words. Ride safe and good luck on finding the right club for you!
I loved this video this is something I will send to the Prospects in the club im in thank you
Thank you for the kind words and I hope your club enjoys the video.
Good stuff buddy! 😎
Thank you very much!
Anyone who has ever been in a fraternal order knows the value of a probationary period. You need to ensure the people applying for membership embrace the values of the organization and it's members, and their commitment to positively contribute to group and its members. Whether you call it a prospect, pledge, entered apprentice, what have you, this time is precious and important.
Very well spoken and all true statements! Thank you very much for watching!
Stay loyal and yull never go wrong, good luck god bless
Thank you very much and that’s great advice!
thx man, realy good and informativ video. keep going on
greets from germany
Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words.
cheers mate,helped alot🤟🏻🙌
Thank you. Much appreciated!
Enjoyed watching this ...thankyou
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching!
Good video man... My uncle went through the hang around and prospect phase in his 60s.! At 65 he was voted in... Without mentioning club name its a 1% club... You don't have to be a certain age to be in an MC unless that club has an age restriction and as far as I no there is none
That’s awesome about your uncle! Most clubs don’t have an age restriction, that’s absolutely correct! Yeah I learned never stop working and never stop prospecting. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Awesome! Many thanks for this :)
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
Awesome video. It really spoke to me as I've been prospecting for 8 months now at 54 yrs old. I'm humbled to be a part of this brotherhood and what it stands for.
Thank you very much! Congrats and good luck to you! I appreciate the feedback.
Well said smitty!! Well said. I would say , wearing your kutte can put you out there with your club.. but no risk , no reward..
Thank you very much for watching and for the support!
Just was invited to "hang around" local MC thanks very helpful.
That’s awesome! Good luck and enjoy it!
Hanging around at the moment myself and I got my first Harley too (am building it) I'm learning as I go and I carry a pen and a note pad incase something needs remembered but thanks to your videos I learn something new. Patch looks good on you makes me feel good about being a big guy on a bike.
Thanks man! Always carry that pen and note pad. Let’s everyone know you are serious about remembering things and that you care. Good luck to you and enjoy the journey! Let me k ow how your build turns out and how the Hangaround process is going. Thanks for watching!
How’s progress on that build. You really don’t own a bike till it fires up
@@extremebaggers7817 for the most part it's all together however I have some odds and ends to fix up and I've actually heard it fire up and it sounds amazing like a lion roaring or kitten purring. I need a battery a tensioner cable a horn and mirrors and it's show time. It would be completely finished but I lost my job due to covid related issues at work
@@BigSmittyRiding things are going well bikes running and I'm far past hanging around. Wish you were here to meet the guys. Stay safe or as my brothers say drive fast and take chances....
That’s awesome! Glad you’re doing well! Keep kicking ass!!!
Thank you for the information sir I hope you become a full member
Thank you very much for watching! I appreciate the support.
I'm back now. Subbed to Wild On Twos
What the... Guess for whatever reason the previous post had to be removed and repeated. Can't recall what I said.
Had the Valk out filming the last few days. That Sugru is working GREAT. Thank you sir for the recommendation. I managed to get five videos up the last couple days. I went riding again yesterday and filmed all of it, but when I got home I realized my GoPro was pointed at the tank the whole time. DAMMIT! Guess I'll have to wait a while before I can do that again. Cold weather is here. Have a great weekend my friend!
Tongue click and fingers pointed back atcha! 📵😜🕶👍👉👉👅👌😎🍺🍹🥃🏍🏍🏍

Thank you very much! I appreciate that!
I moved from a 99% club to prospect for a 1% club. Was asked if I wanted to be fast tracked and I chose to prospect. I feel that a patch earned is better then a patch given
Truer words were never spoken. Earned outweighs given any day of the week. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Great video.

Wow! That’s awesome to hear! Thank you very much for letting me know that, I sincerely appreciate it and good luck!
I'm currently in the Prospect/Probation period, and I really am learning a lot so far. Still, loving every minute of it. Great video, with some good info. Thanks (y)
I was chatting to the president at the clubhouse last night, and he said that the probation period is to break the person down, to build them back up again. What are you thoughts on that?
Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching!
He’s right in a sense. The probation period is for you to prove yourself. Do you have what it takes? Can you think under pressure? Are you dedicated etc? Once that’s over and you become full patch none of what you went thru matters! But my advice is to always be prospecting! Always be working for the club and willing to do jobs no one else wants to do. Good luck!
Good luck with your journey towards that full patch,if they don't give you the patch,there must be something way off with their selection process!.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words and the support!
Great video
Thank you!
Cool video dude. I love the Biker aesthetic and the Alpha mindset as well as some aspects of the culture. However as a rider myself, I could never be tied down to some small group as such. Furthermore as a Conservative American, I'll only give my life for two things, my family and my country. I'll be damned if I'm gonna die for some motorcycle club. Fuck that.
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I’m with you, it isn’t for everyone and the culture has its quirks that make it very hard to grasp and hard to believe that people would be willing to give everything up for their club. Club is family to the members which is the reason they are willing to die for it. Thanks again and I appreciate you watching.
Big Smitty, Good video. You’re making excellent content. You’re a Prospect that any Club would be proud to have as a Member. Who cares about your age? You do you. People need to mind their business.
Thanks again Harm! Yeah, people tend to talk a lot in the comments section when they are clueless or just want to throw someone down. Thanks for watching buddy
Good vid man
Thank you very much!
thanks for the advice thanks
You’re welcome and good luck!
Nice thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Prospecting
Living a life of servitude
Respect for yourself
Respect the full patch members and those prospecting for the club
Be reliable and a man of integrity
Interesting how these traits should be applied in life daily
So if you become a member of an MC or you ride solo you should always be prospecting in life God and Family
Excellent reply and very good advice. Thank you for watching.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
I use to ride with a MC and I see nothing wrong what you were saying being a prospect is a learning Phase when it's time your Club will give you full colors with a big party you will never forget it's all about a Brotherhood
Thank you very much. Yeah, I’m excited about it and just putting my time in! As long as it takes! Thanks for watching!
I got my patch in February 2021. Took just over 5 years from hangaround to prospect to patch. Worth every minute of it. Even if they broke my balls, I knew that my brothers went through it just like i did. We say our road name and then our position in the club when meeting others.
Congrats on getting full patch! Man it's awesome when you earn that patch and take that first ride with your brothers. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
Congrats man
