#GHOSTIN The stupid thing I did while prospecting was a member asked me to work on his bike I had drain the gas out of the tank when I fix the head gasket poured a little bit of gas back to get the bike running I forgot to fill the tank up my brother ran our gas I heard crap for weeks about it
That push-up story reminds me of something my Dad told me. "I'll never tell you to do something that I wouldn't do or haven't done myself." Firm but Fair 👍
Had some of my instructors in my military basic training do the same thing. I also learned early on; _”you choose your behaviour, you choose your consequences”_ words to live by.
@@SoseTheGhost I had a friend who lived in Rockford with a block from some bar for a lot of hells Angels went to they used to be in Rockford. I was surprised how many of these hells Angels guys had legitimate jobs like truck drivers and mechanics and even like district manager of Hardee's. I figured they were all just a bunch of full-time criminals
What i learned as a prospect.....If asked how long you have been been prospecting by anyone say .."Not long enough" I was in a bar talking to a guy wearing my cut.He wasn't wearing any club gear.Turned out the guy I was talking to was an officer in a friendly club of ours. He called my Pres right in front of me and said.. " I got one of your prospects here ,Im talking to him right now". Moral of the story is you never know who you are talking to. and any club bussiness as small as how long you have in the club etc...keep your mouth shut. This guy was cool and didn't say anything to my Pres about it.But called him to show me you never know who you are talking to.He could have really got me in trouble.After the call he went over this lesson to make sure i understood.I am very thankful he handled it the way he did and i won't forget him for it. Im a full patch now and wanted to pay it forward to any new prospects down the road......Let me know if this helped anyone and if so i can post other tips.thanks...
Completely understand this. I’m a prospect now and it’s the same thing. How long have you been with the club “ not long enough” how many members are there “ not enough”… my prez knows aloooootttt of people and he hears all lol
There's a lot of people out on the internet that will make video after video of all the cool shit they did but not many will make videos of the ways they messed up. It takes a real man to have the confidence to talk about their mistakes.
When I was prospecting for the MC I am in, the worst part about it was my ex-father-in-law was the president. So any stupid shit I did would get reported back to him ASAP. The second worst part about my prosect period was the day after I was made prospect, my bike blew its motor. It took me two months to to find an engine but when I did I drove down to NC to pick it up. I was worried the whole time that my prospecting was over but my brothers saw how determined I was to get back on twos, but I made it to the day I was patched and the rest is history.
When I was “hanging around” for my club we went to a 1% event. At the event, my president said for me to go and shake hands and introduce myself with a group of the 1%ers sitting at another table… it was 3 guys. I shook the first hand then the second and when I reached over the table to shake the third hand I accidentally knocked over this man’s beer. I panicked and apologized several times and thankfully the guy was real cool about it. I immediately bought the whole table a beer and we were good.
@@lukeshaw3375 Yeh but what a lot of folks forget, is bikers are the everyman. We're not the rich CEOs or white collar, we're the ones who worked for our bike and are working our asses off to live.
You can tell a truthful person because a truthful person will tell what they’ve done wrong, not just what they’ve done right. Always the straight story with Sose.
I knew a prospect who was about 3 weeks in. Started telling certain people he was a full member. It spread quick… soon after he was no longer a prospect. He’s now a “lone wolf” lol. He got a bit ahead of himself…
Well said Sose. Yes, I can 100% relate. Back in mid 90's when I realized that a person who made a mistake with a group of people from another borough, was actually a childhood friend, who backed me in a few fights, it put me in a bad position.
So 2 Hells Angels meet at the Clubhouse, the Nomad HA tells the HA “ we got to do a midnight run “ ... 2 hours later they stop, their out in the Boonies, Coyotes, Owls, Bullfrogs the HA says to the Nomad “ like hey man wtf we doing out here, this don’t feel like a Drug Run, it’s really scary out here “ the HA responds “ ya I know and the really scary part is I gotta drive back ALONE “...:..
You're spot on Sose. I have much respect for you. You tell it like it is. And these days, it's hard to find people that do that. Keep up the great work.
I love this story where The person Got down on the floor and did push-ups with you. That's a real leader. If you can't do it, why are you going to make someone else do it? Respect!
Solid info. as always! I was the sergeant at arms for my club and saw a patch member laying on the ground with his cut on looking at something under his bike and i made him do 50 push ups for putting his patch on the ground. Had a prospect also leave his cut hanging and he had to wash his brothers bikes and the bikes of our dominate club.
We forgive for what we didn't know, as long as you learn the lesson? All good. Keep being you and ty for educating the new ones who don't know club life. Be safe, blessed
Nice, Sose! My dad made it in to that mag thanks to the trike he had at the time. Right place, right time, and there he is! May you get more chances to be in there again!
Good info 4 sure, We have all done dumb shit that is embarrassing, these are growing pains, u learned valuable lessons as did I, Thanks for this great video. Yes I smashed the like button ( ALWAYS) Peace Out Brother Sose #ghostin
One of the biggest lessons that can be summed up in this video is that clubs are not gangs. As a prospect you need to carry yourself a certain way but you always need to keep in mind you're new here. Keep your eyes and ears open and learn the game rather than bring in whatever you used to be a part of on the streets.
I’ve noticed a lot of dudes that came up in the streets have a hard time adjusting to club life. IMO, you have dudes in the club that weren’t bout it in their civilian life and now they got a cut and they think they’re bad: just like the punk that became a cop.
Big facts. I am from a small town and didn't grow up living any kind of gangster life but bounced in bars and did MMA. It disgusted me to see guys acting like they were tough guys because they had a patch on. They'd be selling wolf tickets and quietly to myself I'm thinking, yeah, in real life I could smoke 3 of you at the same time. I hate those guys
Respect and common sense. And remember that it is not only the club you are prospecting for watching you. Be a man and own your decisions. Every club in your area is watching you. You represent the teachings of your prospective club.
I really appreciate you sharing real life events You are an honorable man , respect You are going to be huge , well you already are, and only getting bigger because of the great message and truth you speak, God bless and can’t wait for your next vid 👍
To me, its a dangerous road to go “a brother can’t be wrong”. It will stab you hard in the back! If you, as a brother, cant tell a brother “thats wrong”, who can? You don’t do it out off disrespect. But you don’t tell them publicly, you do it in private.
Really enjoyed this ! Your willingness to share your personal experiences really made this video stand out so respect to you for doing that . Your bike is bad ass too!
Great episode, Sose! I am with you 100%! You did the right thing by sticking up for your Brother from the 99% Club and I would have done the same thing. I came from an all Marine R/C and went to a Veteran M/C . I kept in contact with a couple of Brothers from the old R/C. These 2 Brothers showed me love and respect and wished me well when I left and went to the M/C. Later on when I was a Prospect with the M/C, a Patch Holder ( he was NEVER a Brother) had a beef with one of my old Brothers from the R/C and I stuck up for that old Brother. The Patch Holder was pissed at me and I ended up prospecting for 2 years because of that incident. I still say I did the right thing to this day! I ended up getting my patch in the MC and four years after I got my patch that patch holder that caused me all the trouble got put out bad. I ended up in that M/C as a Brother for 19 years. I am now back with the R/C and couldn’t be happier. One thing you have to remember is, you are a man first, and a man sticks to his beliefs. The patch doesn’t make the man; the man makes the patch!
I know a guy who has a tattoo of a biker club he is not a member of,I asked him one day if he thought he might get into trouble having it,he replied that the tattoo had to be viewed in a mirror because the image was backwards,I told him to be careful because it could piss them off if they ever found out.
Friends are hard to come buy yet acquaintances are a dime a dozen. Brotherhood and hard decisions sometimes go hand in hand. It's always good to stay on the right side of life.
#ghostin Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 awesome video bro like the old school parking lot days! Should do more these with live chat during it, was well done much respect telling us some your prospecting stories and mistakes
@@DemonsRow Nicee! Perfect way to tell stories out your times in a outlaw MC sitting on your harley and talking about your times being a prospect and stories about your outlaw MC days(stories you're allowed to talk about of course lol) #ghostin
When I was prospecting with a 99 (I’m fully patched now) I was on set with my Prez and a diamond ol lady came up to me asked me my name… the first time I told her P3 she spun the block on me about 20 minutes later asked my name again and I slipped up and used a nickname I got that’s not Club related 🤦🏽♂️ my Prez had a long talk with me
Love your content on the culture I'm currently prospecting and one mistake I made in the beginning was putting my hand out to shake hands first but have been shown nothing but love they explained the reasons why I shouldn't of done it and it made sense to me and again content is great L&R
I've been in a similar situation not in the biker world but some people I was rolling with wanted to do something to somebody I gave a f*** about. You're a good friend for that because it could have cost you dearly.
@@SoseTheGhost I came from the military lane and I always figured if you can't be a good friend how could you be a good brother. I'm sure your experience it was similar. From my perspective you could have lost rank, caught a beating and gotten it f***** up with that club. Yet even knowing that in the back of your mind you were still like nah that's my dude. I respect the f*** out of that.
Just like in the military. You misplace your equipment they'll hide it and after tell you never leave your equipment unattended. Now you owe some push-ups, or jumping jacks.
As a prospect we were not allowed to drink. So we ride out to California for Memorial Day and a bunch of brothers kept saying take shots. So I took shots then my chapter finds out I’ve been drinking and make me go get like 5 shots of Canadian club and like 3 shots of jaegar had a cheers to drunk prospects and hand me all 8 shots. I’ve never been so drunk in my life then I had to keep working till 3 am I got 4 hours of sleep and got up got on the bike and rode back to Salt Lake City from Sacramento more hung over than I’d ever been
Yea I know a guy who was prospecting for a 99% club and they tried to put him in a dress. I joined a support club for a 1% club and it was pretty chill for the stories you hear and they won't make you do anything they wont
When I was a prospect I didn’t have one drink. The only drink I ever took was a shot when I patch down. When I wore the cut award the mentality of once a prospect always a prospect. To me that’s where you fall in love with the club that’s where you put your work in and prove that you were worthy of wearing that patch.
I'm not in a club but we have something similar in martial arts, which is called "beginner's mindset" which means you always see yourself as a white belt even though you may hold whatever kind of rank within your school or organization. Like you said I think it makes you humble and honors the school or association you are into.
Truth I've been out of the MC life for 4 years, mainly due to having gotten rid of my bike for my first born son. Now that I got one again, I dunno about going back to my old patch or trying for another patch... Maybe one day, but think I'm gonna just enjoy the ride again.
Great words love it. Good things to know I might be trying to get into a club and everything you speak about is good things to know before I just jump in. I appreciate everything you do 🤙
If I was your friend I would appreciate that loyalty. Right or wrong you took a higher road. Only thing I maybe would have done differently is talk to my sponsor sideline and figure out best course of action. Knowing though they would just say "are you saying the club is wrong right now?" But I got my guilt off that you weren't ready to take on a real friend of yours. Unless he really screwed up too and know he shouldn't have done whatever. This is a really hard question without context actually lol
@@SoseTheGhost why would anyone want to be a prospect, seems like you're just the clubs whipping boy. I'd never let myself become a whipping boy, to clean somebody else's bike or boots at their command. Real lifelong friends are much better, and they won't beat you up if you misplace an article of clothing.
I did a real STUPID thing in the Army, I left a sensitive piece of equipment unattended for only a moment, the SGT took the whole thing apart. I was hunting for EVERY little piece of equipment all night long....then I got smoked.....a mean REALLY smoked. I ran miles, pushed to China and everyother devious thing that could be thought up. Talk about bad karma....yea.....
#Ghostin sittin on 2ws Sose, ML&R. My first Diamond Club in California as a prospect I had rolled up to the clubhouse for a mandatory run and I had forgotten everything a prospect was supposed to , pencil and paper, extra smokes regulars and menthols, and I forgot to gas up my bike. Not only was I not ready and put the club behind schedule but I also embarrassed my club dad in the process I was cleaning bar for 2 weeks overnights, just remember as a prospect to have all your stuff ready to go at all times in case you get that call because it is 24/7 365 no matter what.
I was prospecting for a club and I found out that I'm to stubborn and don't like being told what to do. I have that lone wolf syndrome and like handling my own shit. But I do have respect for clubs . But I feel joining the military is earning a real patch. Just my opinion. No disrespect to anyone
Hey Sose, great videos. Very informative and enjoyable. I have a question, I'm in the CMA(Christian Motorcyclist Association). In your opinion, how does the bike clubs/outlaw clubs view the Christian clubs? Are we considered a joke, or respected or maybe ignored? I personally have not had any interaction with any of the clubs around my area (Angels, Outlaws). Actually never see any of them strangely enough. Just wondering what I might expect if I ever encounter any of them somewhere? Thanks, keep up the good work. God Speed.
Don't joke with them , when you do meet them *also expect a mudcheck anywhere you go that has other MCs* also unless you are willing to fight for it, don't wear a bottom rocker or a territory name (state or city) else you'll find yourself unprepared & s.o.l. facing a turf war
How Cool is it to get this Kinda Knowledge for Free from Sose? Someday, Somewhere this Video will Save Someone's Skin... A Smart Individual Will Learn from their Mistakes... A Wise Individual Will Learn from Someone Else's Mistakes... Thanks for the PSA Sose... God Bless
As a 99 if your club bro is wrong you NEVER EVER call him out on the set you pull him to the side talk to him and bring that wrong to the table, and you never try to hide things with a call phone. TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE TABLE
Prospecting is the time they train you for when you become a patch.I was suppose to do something for one of the brothers,and didn’t happen.Boy,I’ll tell you what,I made it though.Spent a lot of time away from home,it’s a commitment for sure.
Hey Sose, thx for another great vid. I’m a full patch member now for a Christian MC and I did stupid thing as a prospect. My VP was taking me to different 1% club open houses to learn proper Protocols. My ride has an alarm system on it and when we arrived I turned on my alarm and it made that loud alarm sound when you activate it. A lot of different club members were standing there and all looked at me. My VP told me to never to that again as it was disrespectful. I felt sooooo dumb. Live and learn. Thx brother for all you do. I watched so many of your videos when I was prospecting and learned a lot. Be safe! 🙏
the worst I ever did to a prospect, is there was a few of us full patches at a local bar packed house band playing, I sent him to get 2 pitchers of beer we killed one right away then sent him back for more every time he would get back we had a empty one we did that about 4 times.
I never patched a club and wouldn't have been asked. I rode some beautiful classic Brits but no American bikes. Still I was invited to a couple of lake parties and a run or two, albeit short ones of a hundred miles or so. One lake party I was invited to, another club rode in and there was some kind of tension. I never did learn what was going on. As things began to spin up I shouldered up next to the dude that invited me. It was only a couple of minutes before cooler heads prevailed and everyone ended up having a great time. One of the other members asked why I stood up with them since I wasn't with them. I told him they were the ones that waved me in to the party and I told him what my dad taught me to "dance with the one that brung ya". (Texas colloquialism mine). I appreciate the education and wish it had been around when I was in the mix but I never had any real trouble and even had my butt pulled out of the fray by a couple of 1%ers once upon a time. God bless you Sose.
#GHOSTIN When I was a Prospect I was at the bar a girl came and sat down with me I didn't know her but her Dad was our VP he wasn't very impressed with me he told me about a treat her like my sister or else
Hella, HELLA proud of you man. To see a Spanish New Yorker from el barrio out here making it, makes me proud to be from NYC again bud. New York been hella wild and embarrassing lately but I like what you spitting. Keep up the good work bud!
Hazing only works if done right. I know from my experience in the Army in 03 at basic the drills will make it a point to show you humility for being stupid but not in a way that is too harsh or not warranted. I think doing fucked up hazing stuff like making a guy drink, or eat messed up stuff has no place. That isnt a healthy way to test a mans loyalty or build it either. The story with the pushups, that is how it is done. Lead by example, never be afraid to do what your lower ranking brothers do. And always make sure the lesson your trying to teach as a leader is actually learned. That sergeant in arms sounds like he had some great leadership skills.
real brothers will do anything for another brother my main thing is that when i was prospecting a mess up i did was i hadn't gotten my enforcer outside with me and vp at a party one night and soon as i got home my old man socked me in the arm for not grabbing him or my enforcer so that right there i new that i mess up another mess up i did was we were riding on two,s and my seargant of arms and enforcer were going 100 in a 75 they both dissaperd on me so i went back to the crib bc seargent said if i didn't find them then go back to the crib so i did i was pissed off and soon as seargent came back seargent was screaming and yelling towards me so i popped him right in the mouth after that then walked off this kind of reminds me of soa when jax and clay get into a hole argument over stupid shit but seargent later got back at me but after that i was less likely to be pissed off so that was another mistake that i learned karma is a bitch when it comes back at u
Some, thanks for stepping out your right, there ain't no manual,I had to learn as I went, 50 or so years ago. You do a lot of good for the newer riders maybe keep them out of a situation that could end up bad. I do know some younger guys chip on the shoulder and not knowing things can get them in trouble. So again Thanks.
In any organization that you are a member you must learn that you are serving a purpose greater than yourself. You give up your individual needs and choices. To a point. I have been offered to prospect for a 1% mc and very respectfully declined, I am a family man, and I couldn't have membership in something else. I truly loved the men that asked me in but they had respect for my answer. In a another instance I was doing some plumbing above a bike shop run by another 1% mc "elder" . He always had a prospect in the shop with him and I perceived them to be very tight. Nothing could get in between them. Boy was I wrong! One day while running a vent through the attic I heard all hell break loose down in the shop. The prospect got his a$$ beat for stealing a couple dollars in change from a toolbox. I stayed out of it and the prospect was gone when I finished my work. I later saw him , limping around in the next town over. The elder , volunteers to me his tolerance for thieves and liars. Another instance and a different 1% club , there was a "poser" that frequented a local bar "Loud Pipes" back in the day I didn't know the guy but was some what familiar with him. One day while at Loud Pipes, one of the ladies told me that there was a visit from the mc he posed for. They came in , dragged him outside, put him on the deck and scrubbed his emblematic tattoo off with steel wool. I raise my glass to them all but my mc is my family and they need me. No one is looking for me and I hide from no one. Keep your knees in the breeze, brother.
Why didn't you get "patched over" from your 99 club. On the west coast, if are a 3 patch club and want to join a 1%er, you can patch over. It is a 3 - 6 month breaking period. If you don't like club, or they don't think you would be a good fit. Then it's no harm no foul.
Sose this may not mean much but thank you. Followed allot of your advice and Im very close to getting the opportunity to prospect for a club I've always wanted to be a part of and I've avoided allot of bullhshit because of these videos.
I am new to this whole Mc world. Learning things everyday. A word a hear a lot is "BROTHER" to me is kind of funny how loosely it's used. You see me once twice and we brothers not... to me first it's earned by time just as respect, integrity, I need to know who you are and what your about. My humble opinion is the MC world is just like the military in many ways, there is DISCIPLINE, RANK STRUCTURE, BROTHERHOOD AND DRAMA. People need to realize this. In my humble opinion MC world is full of hard working respectful people that love to ride for the freedom it brings you, are judged by many for the poor choices made by some and the media. Just as SOSE WITH ALL RESPECT HAS BEEN SAYING ALL WHO RIDE NEED TO UNITE AMD RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. GREAT VID
I'm not in any MC . Doing push ups with one who has to do it as punishment is something my first sensei did and I have been doing since in kyokushin. Seems like the values and rules are similar and overlap a bit more 🤔. Great channel mate, greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
I found myself in a "situation" once upon a time. I was young and stupid and a sloppy drunk to boot. Luckily a very well respected member of the club that I was hanging with liked me enough to step in and save my ass. After saving my ass this particular member grabbed me into a headlock and repeatedly slapped me in my forehead as he emphasized how stupid I was warned me to NEVER do what I did EVER again... Looking back, I deserved every slap and then some! Lol
@@Netbase2000 Long story/short I was just being a young, sloppy-drunken fool when I unintentionally invaded a members personal space while admiring his new ink. it has been almost 30 years since. A few of the fellas who were there (including the man who saved my ass) that night are now deceased. 🙏 RIP
Since hitting 5k subs I been with u and all the episodes I watched were mad educational on how to act and how to be a man and I appreciate that g keep doin what you doin much love
Show me a Prospect that never fucks up and I’ll show you somebody who isn’t trying… My sponsor and chapter boss gave me some shit to carry with me when we were on a run to Regionals. Of course I forgot it in the hotel room and didn’t realize it until we hit the interstate. A hundred miles later, we stopped and I told him. Yeah, I was busting my ass at high speed back to the hotel and then hammering trying to catch back up. There is more to the story that I won’t share here, but lesson learned!
will you do a video on what bikes do most club members buy, and can you have a bike that isn't a Harley-Davidson, that is still American made like a Indian.
🤣🤣🤣 Fuck, i did that too, but none of my brothers saw it, went downstairs to the bar, when i got back, one of my friends, had put it on, man i flipped on him, but he was one of my best friends, and everybody upstairs, was my crew, and we was really having a good time, and i didn't want to clear the room, he knew he messed up, and no full patch saw it, didn't want to ruin the entire party, so i gave him a pass... - Stay Blessed - - Peace - 🙏❤✌

Had a prospect also leave his cut hanging and he had to wash his brothers bikes and the bikes of our dominate club.
Nice get em lol
That never happened

We forgive for what we didn't know, as long as you learn the lesson? All good. Keep being you and ty for educating the new ones who don't know club life. Be safe, blessed
Much love dee
Nice, Sose! My dad made it in to that mag thanks to the trike he had at the time. Right place, right time, and there he is! May you get more chances to be in there again!
Thank you
Good info 4 sure, We have all done dumb shit that is embarrassing, these are growing pains, u learned valuable lessons as did I, Thanks for this great video. Yes I smashed the like button ( ALWAYS) Peace Out Brother Sose #ghostin
Thanksjack
One of the biggest lessons that can be summed up in this video is that clubs are not gangs. As a prospect you need to carry yourself a certain way but you always need to keep in mind you're new here. Keep your eyes and ears open and learn the game rather than bring in whatever you used to be a part of on the streets.
Yes truth
I’ve noticed a lot of dudes that came up in the streets have a hard time adjusting to club life. IMO, you have dudes in the club that weren’t bout it in their civilian life and now they got a cut and they think they’re bad: just like the punk that became a cop.
Yes i agree
Big facts. I am from a small town and didn't grow up living any kind of gangster life but bounced in bars and did MMA. It disgusted me to see guys acting like they were tough guys because they had a patch on. They'd be selling wolf tickets and quietly to myself I'm thinking, yeah, in real life I could smoke 3 of you at the same time. I hate those guys
Respect and common sense. And remember that it is not only the club you are prospecting for watching you. Be a man and own your decisions. Every club in your area is watching you. You represent the teachings of your prospective club.
Truth
I really appreciate you sharing real life events
You are an honorable man , respect
You are going to be huge , well you already are, and only getting bigger because of the great message and truth you speak, God bless and can’t wait for your next vid 👍
Thank you jon i appreciate you
To me, its a dangerous road to go “a brother can’t be wrong”. It will stab you hard in the back! If you, as a brother, cant tell a brother “thats wrong”, who can? You don’t do it out off disrespect. But you don’t tell them publicly, you do it in private.
Yes i agree.
The push up lesson was deeper than stated, S O A was showing that when you f up others pay too . Just like military. Much respect .
I agree much respect
Really enjoyed this ! Your willingness to share your personal experiences really made this video stand out so respect to you for doing that . Your bike is bad ass too!
Thanks vince. We all make mistakes owning up to it is how we grow
Great episode, Sose! I am with you 100%! You did the right thing by sticking up for your Brother from the 99% Club and I would have done the same thing. I came from an all Marine R/C and went to a Veteran M/C . I kept in contact with a couple of Brothers from the old R/C. These 2 Brothers showed me love and respect and wished me well when I left and went to the M/C. Later on when I was a Prospect with the M/C, a Patch Holder ( he was NEVER a Brother) had a beef with one of my old Brothers from the R/C and I stuck up for that old Brother. The Patch Holder was pissed at me and I ended up prospecting for 2 years because of that incident. I still say I did the right thing to this day! I ended up getting my patch in the MC and four years after I got my patch that patch holder that caused me all the trouble got put out bad. I ended up in that M/C as a Brother for 19 years. I am now back with the R/C and couldn’t be happier. One thing you have to remember is, you are a man first, and a man sticks to his beliefs. The patch doesn’t make the man; the man makes the patch!
Thank u my brother
I know a guy who has a tattoo of a biker club he is not a member of,I asked him one day if he thought he might get into trouble having it,he replied that the tattoo had to be viewed in a mirror because the image was backwards,I told him to be careful because it could piss them off if they ever found out.
Always gotta show love to my guy Sose much l&r from the BX 🗽
#Ghostin
Much love westBX all day
Your bike is amazing, I have a regular Heritage, looks nowhere as nice as your bike.
Friends are hard to come buy yet acquaintances are a dime a dozen. Brotherhood and hard decisions sometimes go hand in hand. It's always good to stay on the right side of life.
Thank you for a look inside your world. Much respect to you!
Much respect dave
#ghostin Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 awesome video bro like the old school parking lot days! Should do more these with live chat during it, was well done much respect telling us some your prospecting stories and mistakes
Ok so well do it like this on mondays from now on
@@DemonsRow Nicee! Perfect way to tell stories out your times in a outlaw MC sitting on your harley and talking about your times being a prospect and stories about your outlaw MC days(stories you're allowed to talk about of course lol) #ghostin
When I was prospecting with a 99 (I’m fully patched now) I was on set with my Prez and a diamond ol lady came up to me asked me my name… the first time I told her P3 she spun the block on me about 20 minutes later asked my name again and I slipped up and used a nickname I got that’s not Club related 🤦🏽♂️ my Prez had a long talk with me
Love your content on the culture I'm currently prospecting and one mistake I made in the beginning was putting my hand out to shake hands first but have been shown nothing but love they explained the reasons why I shouldn't of done it and it made sense to me and again content is great L&R
Hey brother I’m Julian hope when I’m older I can join a mc club I always loved motorcycles but much respect bro
Much respect bro
I've been in a similar situation not in the biker world but some people I was rolling with wanted to do something to somebody I gave a f*** about. You're a good friend for that because it could have cost you dearly.
Much love james im like that with people i care about
@@SoseTheGhost I came from the military lane and I always figured if you can't be a good friend how could you be a good brother. I'm sure your experience it was similar. From my perspective you could have lost rank, caught a beating and gotten it f***** up with that club. Yet even knowing that in the back of your mind you were still like nah that's my dude. I respect the f*** out of that.
I think you have lots to teach us from all your experiences and you get the messages across very well great stories
Thank you dave
Just like in the military. You misplace your equipment they'll hide it and after tell you never leave your equipment unattended. Now you owe some push-ups, or jumping jacks.
Push ups is a pretty cool way to handle the situation. Much respect.
As a prospect we were not allowed to drink. So we ride out to California for Memorial Day and a bunch of brothers kept saying take shots. So I took shots then my chapter finds out I’ve been drinking and make me go get like 5 shots of Canadian club and like 3 shots of jaegar had a cheers to drunk prospects and hand me all 8 shots. I’ve never been so drunk in my life then I had to keep working till 3 am I got 4 hours of sleep and got up got on the bike and rode back to Salt Lake City from Sacramento more hung over than I’d ever been
Yea I know a guy who was prospecting for a 99% club and they tried to put him in a dress. I joined a support club for a 1% club and it was pretty chill for the stories you hear and they won't make you do anything they wont
A dress wow
A lot of people dont realize that some respectful hazing shows you can take some shit and not flip out,
When I was a prospect I didn’t have one drink. The only drink I ever took was a shot when I patch down. When I wore the cut award the mentality of once a prospect always a prospect. To me that’s where you fall in love with the club that’s where you put your work in and prove that you were worthy of wearing that patch.
True words
I'm not in a club but we have something similar in martial arts, which is called "beginner's mindset" which means you always see yourself as a white belt even though you may hold whatever kind of rank within your school or organization. Like you said I think it makes you humble and honors the school or association you are into.
Truth I've been out of the MC life for 4 years, mainly due to having gotten rid of my bike for my first born son. Now that I got one again, I dunno about going back to my old patch or trying for another patch... Maybe one day, but think I'm gonna just enjoy the ride again.
Great words love it. Good things to know I might be trying to get into a club and everything you speak about is good things to know before I just jump in. I appreciate everything you do 🤙
Yea wouodve been good if someone told me lol
I can relate in life! I’m not in a club but I’m on man time for me and mine! Preciate this content
If I was your friend I would appreciate that loyalty. Right or wrong you took a higher road. Only thing I maybe would have done differently is talk to my sponsor sideline and figure out best course of action. Knowing though they would just say "are you saying the club is wrong right now?" But I got my guilt off that you weren't ready to take on a real friend of yours. Unless he really screwed up too and know he shouldn't have done whatever. This is a really hard question without context actually lol
He was a good dude and nobody was doing nothing about it
Back in the day, prospects went through some shit. Some real shit.
Very true
@@SoseTheGhost why would anyone want to be a prospect, seems like you're just the clubs whipping boy. I'd never let myself become a whipping boy, to clean somebody else's bike or boots at their command. Real lifelong friends are much better, and they won't beat you up if you misplace an article of clothing.
I did a real STUPID thing in the Army, I left a sensitive piece of equipment unattended for only a moment, the SGT took the whole thing apart. I was hunting for EVERY little piece of equipment all night long....then I got smoked.....a mean REALLY smoked. I ran miles, pushed to China and everyother devious thing that could be thought up. Talk about bad karma....yea.....
#Ghostin sittin on 2ws Sose, ML&R.
My first Diamond Club in California as a prospect I had rolled up to the clubhouse for a mandatory run and I had forgotten everything a prospect was supposed to , pencil and paper, extra smokes regulars and menthols, and I forgot to gas up my bike. Not only was I not ready and put the club behind schedule but I also embarrassed my club dad in the process I was cleaning bar for 2 weeks overnights, just remember as a prospect to have all your stuff ready to go at all times in case you get that call because it is 24/7 365 no matter what.
Yes that is a great point
I can respect anyone that’s willing to talk about past mistakes
Much respect
Loved my prospecting phase my brothers knew me already so yes I worked for my patch no oh that’s my boy give it to him
I was prospecting for a club and I found out that I'm to stubborn and don't like being told what to do. I have that lone wolf syndrome and like handling my own shit. But I do have respect for clubs . But I feel joining the military is earning a real patch. Just my opinion. No disrespect to anyone
Hey Sose, great videos. Very informative and enjoyable. I have a question, I'm in the CMA(Christian Motorcyclist Association). In your opinion, how does the bike clubs/outlaw clubs view the Christian clubs? Are we considered a joke, or respected or maybe ignored? I personally have not had any interaction with any of the clubs around my area (Angels, Outlaws). Actually never see any of them strangely enough. Just wondering what I might expect if I ever encounter any of them somewhere? Thanks, keep up the good work. God Speed.
Just as another club. Never a bad wordspoken
Don't joke with them , when you do meet them *also expect a mudcheck anywhere you go that has other MCs* also unless you are willing to fight for it, don't wear a bottom rocker or a territory name (state or city) else you'll find yourself unprepared & s.o.l. facing a turf war
How Cool is it to get this Kinda Knowledge for Free from Sose?
Someday, Somewhere this Video will Save Someone's Skin...
A Smart Individual Will Learn from their Mistakes...
A Wise Individual Will Learn from Someone Else's Mistakes...
Thanks for the PSA Sose...
God Bless
Much love brother
When I was in PJ indoc and one of us would get hit with pushups...we all did it..Team....HOO YAH!
This has to be a character that he's playing or something
As a 99 if your club bro is wrong you NEVER EVER call him out on the set you pull him to the side talk to him and bring that wrong to the table, and you never try to hide things with a call phone. TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE TABLE
Prospecting is the time they train you for when you become a patch.I was suppose to do something for one of the brothers,and didn’t happen.Boy,I’ll tell you what,I made it though.Spent a lot of time away from home,it’s a commitment for sure.
Def is
Hey Sose, thx for another great vid. I’m a full patch member now for a Christian MC and I did stupid thing as a prospect. My VP was taking me to different 1% club open houses to learn proper Protocols. My ride has an alarm system on it and when we arrived I turned on my alarm and it made that loud alarm sound when you activate it. A lot of different club members were standing there and all looked at me. My VP told me to never to that again as it was disrespectful. I felt sooooo dumb. Live and learn. Thx brother for all you do. I watched so many of your videos when I was prospecting and learned a lot. Be safe! 🙏
Yea thats like openely saying hey everybody dont steal my shhh lol
the worst I ever did to a prospect, is there was a few of us full patches at a local bar packed house band playing, I sent him to get 2 pitchers of beer we killed one right away then sent him back for more every time he would get back we had a empty one we did that about 4 times.
I never patched a club and wouldn't have been asked. I rode some beautiful classic Brits but no American bikes. Still I was invited to a couple of lake parties and a run or two, albeit short ones of a hundred miles or so. One lake party I was invited to, another club rode in and there was some kind of tension. I never did learn what was going on.
As things began to spin up I shouldered up next to the dude that invited me. It was only a couple of minutes before cooler heads prevailed and everyone ended up having a great time. One of the other members asked why I stood up with them since I wasn't with them. I told him they were the ones that waved me in to the party and I told him what my dad taught me to "dance with the one that brung ya". (Texas colloquialism mine).
I appreciate the education and wish it had been around when I was in the mix but I never had any real trouble and even had my butt pulled out of the fray by a couple of 1%ers once upon a time. God bless you Sose.
God bless you brother
Shellback from the 80s...... hazing at its best ! much respect !
#GHOSTIN When I was a Prospect I was at the bar a girl came and sat down with me I didn't know her but her Dad was our VP he wasn't very impressed with me he told me about a treat her like my sister or else
O man
Number 1 thing to never do is even join one of these clubs in the first place.
#GHOSTIN Brother MLLH&R, again always sharing great information about the MC life.
Thank you my brother appreciate you
Hella, HELLA proud of you man. To see a Spanish New Yorker from el barrio out here making it, makes me proud to be from NYC again bud.
New York been hella wild and embarrassing lately but I like what you spitting.
Keep up the good work bud!
Yes we need to put on for ny
SOSE THE GHOST GREAT EPISODE
Thank you for passing your knowledge down
Yo. ......your bike is fire 🔥 idk who does your camera work but he got all the right angles ....the detail is crazy
The tripod my best friend lol
Hazing only works if done right. I know from my experience in the Army in 03 at basic the drills will make it a point to show you humility for being stupid but not in a way that is too harsh or not warranted. I think doing fucked up hazing stuff like making a guy drink, or eat messed up stuff has no place. That isnt a healthy way to test a mans loyalty or build it either. The story with the pushups, that is how it is done. Lead by example, never be afraid to do what your lower ranking brothers do. And always make sure the lesson your trying to teach as a leader is actually learned. That sergeant in arms sounds like he had some great leadership skills.
i took off my cut one time but i had an itch an didnt want to Scratch the cut. im not in a club but still like you know.
real brothers will do anything for another brother my main thing is that when i was prospecting a mess up i did was i hadn't gotten my enforcer outside with me and vp at a party one night and soon as i got home my old man socked me in the arm for not grabbing him or my enforcer so that right there i new that i mess up another mess up i did was we were riding on two,s and my seargant of arms and enforcer were going 100 in a 75 they both dissaperd on me so i went back to the crib bc seargent said if i didn't find them then go back to the crib so i did i was pissed off and soon as seargent came back seargent was screaming and yelling towards me so i popped him right in the mouth after that then walked off this kind of reminds me of soa when jax and clay get into a hole argument over stupid shit but seargent later got back at me but after that i was less likely to be pissed off so that was another mistake that i learned karma is a bitch when it comes back at u
Some, thanks for stepping out your right, there
ain't no manual,I had to learn as I went, 50 or so years ago. You do a lot of good for the newer riders maybe keep them out of a situation that could end up bad. I do know some younger guys chip on the shoulder and not knowing things can get them in trouble. So again Thanks.
Appreciate you
I like the outdoor sessions again,
keep ‘em coming
Every monday
In any organization that you are a member you must learn that you are serving a purpose greater than yourself. You give up your individual needs and choices. To a point.
I have been offered to prospect for a 1% mc and very respectfully declined, I am a family man, and I couldn't have membership in something else. I truly loved the men that asked me in but they had respect for my answer.
In a another instance I was doing some plumbing above a bike shop run by another 1% mc "elder" . He always had a prospect in the shop with him and I perceived them to be very tight. Nothing could get in between them. Boy was I wrong! One day while running a vent through the attic I heard all hell break loose down in the shop. The prospect got his a$$ beat for stealing a couple dollars in change from a toolbox. I stayed out of it and the prospect was gone when I finished my work. I later saw him , limping around in the next town over. The elder , volunteers to me his tolerance for thieves and liars.
Another instance and a different 1% club , there was a "poser" that frequented a local bar "Loud Pipes" back in the day I didn't know the guy but was some what familiar with him. One day while at Loud Pipes, one of the ladies told me that there was a visit from the mc he posed for. They came in , dragged him outside, put him on the deck and scrubbed his emblematic tattoo off with steel wool.
I raise my glass to them all but my mc is my family and they need me. No one is looking for me and I hide from no one. Keep your knees in the breeze, brother.
I made the same mistake of leaving my cut on my chair I had to run up what we call mile hill to get it back
So many people act like they were perfect. It shows they never prospected
Why didn't you get "patched over" from your 99 club. On the west coast, if are a 3 patch club and want to join a 1%er, you can patch over. It is a 3 - 6 month breaking period. If you don't like club, or they don't think you would be a good fit. Then it's no harm no foul.
patch over is when your club all wants to do it this my decision to move up
Sose this may not mean much but thank you. Followed allot of your advice and Im very close to getting the opportunity to prospect for a club I've always wanted to be a part of and I've avoided allot of bullhshit because of these videos.
Man im glad to hear
Love your bike man looks so dope and that demons row leather looks fire
Thank u bro
Always have respect. Even for others. No matter who they are. Not everyone is a biker.
Great info and production values. Not relevant to me, but passed it on to a good younger bro. Thank you. 👍
I am new to this whole Mc world. Learning things everyday. A word a hear a lot is "BROTHER" to me is kind of funny how loosely it's used. You see me once twice and we brothers not... to me first it's earned by time just as respect, integrity, I need to know who you are and what your about. My humble opinion is the MC world is just like the military in many ways, there is DISCIPLINE, RANK STRUCTURE, BROTHERHOOD AND DRAMA.
People need to realize this. In my humble opinion MC world is full of hard working respectful people that love to ride for the freedom it brings you, are judged by many for the poor choices made by some and the media.
Just as SOSE WITH ALL RESPECT HAS BEEN SAYING ALL WHO RIDE NEED TO UNITE AMD RESPECT ONE ANOTHER.
GREAT VID
Much respect
@@SoseTheGhost wow thank you. Love your content I share it all over. I believe you on tik tok follow you there also.

As a prospect, can you say no to involvement with crime if asked by a patch member ?
love you bro you rock hope to get a bike some time soon and to ride with you bless you always
I'm not in any MC . Doing push ups with one who has to do it as punishment is something my first sensei did and I have been doing since in kyokushin.
Seems like the values and rules are similar and overlap a bit more 🤔.

Thanks bro
Yeah I learned that lesson the hard way too. My President did the same thing
I found myself in a "situation" once upon a time. I was young and stupid and a sloppy drunk to boot. Luckily a very well respected member of the club that I was hanging with liked me enough to step in and save my ass. After saving my ass this particular member grabbed me into a headlock and repeatedly slapped me in my forehead as he emphasized how stupid I was warned me to NEVER do what I did EVER again... Looking back, I deserved every slap and then some! Lol
I will go in to more detail at another time.

Sound like you have a great club ,it be nice find one in Canada the way you talk about yours and the brothers in it.
Things changed brother i left
Since hitting 5k subs I been with u and all the episodes I watched were mad educational on how to act and how to be a man and I appreciate that g keep doin what you doin much love
Much love az we goin live 6pm eastern on the demons row channel
Show me a Prospect that never fucks up and I’ll show you somebody who isn’t trying…
My sponsor and chapter boss gave me some shit to carry with me when we were on a run to Regionals. Of course I forgot it in the hotel room and didn’t realize it until we hit the interstate. A hundred miles later, we stopped and I told him. Yeah, I was busting my ass at high speed back to the hotel and then hammering trying to catch back up. There is more to the story that I won’t share here, but lesson learned!
So true
I grew up around one of the top 4 clubs all I can say is clubs can have abusive full patches and they get away with it all the time
Ok Charley as soon as they are out of sight, open the door and run
Lol
You are dope Bro, i learn every episode from your experiences! Keep on doing what you do! love and respect Bro. Prospect Nomads chapter
Much respect bro
will you do a video on what bikes do most club members buy, and can you have a bike that isn't a Harley-Davidson, that is still American made like a Indian.
🤣🤣🤣 Fuck, i did that too, but none of my brothers saw it, went downstairs to the bar, when i got back, one of my friends, had put it on, man i flipped on him, but he was one of my best friends, and everybody upstairs, was my crew, and we was really having a good time, and i didn't want to clear the room, he knew he messed up, and no full patch saw it, didn't want to ruin the entire party, so i gave him a pass...
- Stay Blessed -
- Peace -
🙏❤✌
Lol much love
