    Biggest piece of advice I got before I made my decision. Don't put it on your back if its not in your heart, and you're not willing to defend it. The patch doesn't make the man, the man makes the patch. Solid advice tho Wild...enjoy your MC vlogs ML&R

    Great video you could not have said this any better! If someone is thinking about joining a club they should invest in tools and learn to work on bikes. This will keep their bike road worthy, it’s cheaper than taking it to a shop, it’s convenient for issues that happen on the road and makes everyone’s day better.

      You are so right. Everything I buy for my bike I put on. If I don’t know how I used my brothers to teach me. Nothing like working on your own bike. You get to really know her.

    Thank you for breaking it down the way you do. I realize I could never prioritize anything over my kids. I'm not cut out for the 1% life. If more fathers were as dedicated to their kids as I am we would have far fewer problems in our society. I appreciate your candor.

    No one was able to use the excuse "I can't afford to go" back when I was in all that. After tallying up the receipts at the end of a run... Everyone in the chapter, out of their share, payed back what was spent on the trip whether or not one of us or all of us went.

    I’m new to the scene but not new to riding in the least.
    Wanted to see what that life is about
    Started hanging around last couple months. Man.. u not kidding. Every week few events and parties and associated costs (tickets, those dope support shirts .. got a ton of those .. they sure do cool designs here and def wanna support the home team ya dig) That being said I fkn love it. Worth every penny and that money is going so support a lot of good stuff. I’ve started to experience what they say about Brotherhood (got lucky and met a group of guys from a club and I just kinda fit in .. felt right from day 1).. for me currently the hardest part is dealing with my ole lady who give me shit despite me setting aside time for her on every day I’m not doing club stuff. I hear a lot it’s very difficult.. the keeping the family cool part. If I was a single dude… would be much easier. Yea I’m sure challenges will come both large and small .. some hard and fast. I can take it. But having a missus acting out of line on some bullshit .. that sucks. Only thing I can do is keep on movin with the club and keep workin on shit at home. She gave me the blessing 2 months ago (yea I’m sure some will say I’m a bitch for that but who wants to deal with a salty wife ?? And I do love her and been with a long time so am not gonna bail on her).
    Anyway :
    What advice do u have for that balance ?
    I ask anyone who is down to teach. I don’t know it all. And this is one thing I think could land up a hang up and I want to stay ahead of it
    Thanks Wild!! *subbed to the channel btw

    • @WildOn2sVlog
      @WildOn2sVlog  Год назад

      It’s all dependent on the club. The more serious the club is the harder family life balance. The more of a RC it is the better the balance. I have seen some solid clubs have awesome family balance. But know you’re wife too. My ol lady isn’t going to sit there and let a guy talk down to her or me. So I have had several issues with that lol.
      But even if she gives you blessing is she really going to be supportive long term. Is it worth it for you

    Dues and fines get expensive. One club around here. The dues are just as much as a motorcycle payment if not more. Then if you can't pay the dues every month. Get fined on top of it. Can get really expensive. This is the reason to why I stay as a ghost rider or a lone wolf. I don't make a whole lot of money. So I stay solo and ride with friends or brother's however people wish to call it

    Hey W.O.2s great to hear from you again always interesting stuff ! I realize that there are cost to running a club that's a given so every member chips in their dues equal across the board .But like The Blue Bike & Doyle said it's also supposed to be a brotherhood with loyalty and having your brothers back ,now when you join your gaining friendships and comradery / family but when your in family and and say you hit hard times or say your bike blows or something and you can not afford to pay for everything your family does not kick you out of the house to live on the streets .So are you just buying friends to ride with when in a club and all is well whilst you can pay .I mean really ( maybe I am completely wrong here ) loyal friends and family will always help you out in a jam so are you better off saying ,ok I have the people I know or am aquatinted with and I will ride with them or alone and know that your on your own and have no false expectations of anyone so that then makes you a stronger personality for that reason .Sorry for the long drawn out comment .Stay safe man and enjoy the rides . : )

    • @WildOn2sVlog
      @WildOn2sVlog  4 года назад +2

      No what I was referring to are folks that go in blind folded. As a club we will help brothers that are truly in need and if they hit a rough patch. Whatever we can. Remember some clubs don’t have much reserve to barely keep the club house but the club will fundraise in order to help. But these are brothers that have been dedicated. Like I said this was to make sure folks know there’s a cost in general. As a club we won’t bail out someone who is just horrible with finances and multiple opportunities. Some people come in and barely pay dues and expect the club to pay their way. That’s not fair for the rest of the guys. It’s all. About helping but it goes both ways right? But this goes toward guys hanging around and prospecting. To know what to expect in regards financial requirements. Just like folks buying homes that can’t afford. Are you going to bail out all friends that live beyond their means? Are you going to use all your reserve to help the ones who tried using you for funds? I don’t think so. But you would help the real select friends and family that you know hit a rough or h or lost a job. These clubs still give chances to members. They give them months to catch up. But there so much you can do for few folks that couldn’t afford it to begin with.

    in my 55 years of Riding i was a member of an AMA club, then i started a few clubs 3 of which became 1% support clubs, then i left and spent a decade in what some call a cop club, but it wasn't an LE it was a Law Abiding Club, and i Retired from that and Returned to the AMA club, i'm a dues paying card carrying Member, but (especially with Covid) a not very active member in the 1% world i would be thought of as a Nomad, and i think that's why i love the structure or lack there of of the AMA club i'm a member of, Dues in minimal and if you do Anything At ALL it's up to you, you get out of the club what you put in, so if i'm feeling a bit burnt out, i can step away for a while and keep my membership, something you can't do in a 1% club.

Things got busy when there were no Prospects around, but the friendships we made were well worth the fund-raising, bike watching and general goofing off we all did.

    Great video as always!! Can you tell me if you are part of an MC when is appropriate and not appropriate to wear your colors? If you are out riding by yourself are you supposed to have your colors on? The reason I ask is I was watching a video where a guy was crossing the Canadian border and before he got to customs he turned his vest inside out so his colors weren’t showing. He said when his patch is showing he gets hassled at the border. It just got me thinking of when you should and shouldn’t wear your colors. Thanks!

    • @WildOn2sVlog
      @WildOn2sVlog  4 года назад

      It’s all club dependent on by laws. Some clubs say you should always wear it but exception is prob riding to and from place of work depending where you work, not In the car, when trying to do little recon, or an area you know you may be hassled by LE etc. I can get more detailed.

    • @ursvamp85
      @ursvamp85 3 года назад

      My 2 penneth from what I've experienced in the (very different) world of UK scene, and as an MCC not MC club member... My personal opinion is you should represent wherever and whenever possible, with some exceptions. For example: Some people don't feel comfortable flying their colours in areas known to be home to clubs who aren't particularly "friendly", especially if you're presenting certain support patches, and that's fine to me if that's how someone feels.
      I'm hugely proud of my club, so I wear my colours and/or merch wherever practical and sometimes where it isn't... And occasionally where I really shouldn't because I could risk a slap, but I'm a bit dumb like that, lol.

      You can pass them but if you do I would do it respectfully. Ride up to the back with a bit of distance. The tail gunner will see you. You can signal to him ( pointing to the front) that you want to pass. He will make sure it’s safe and point you to pass. It’s more a respect thing of them not knowing who you are and if you try passing but road turns into one lane and you cut in the middle causing an accident. It’s more of a safety thing. Or you can be a rival etc. Usually no issues. Some clubs might just say no. But they don’t own the road. At that point it’s your choice and risk 😆
