I was at the cemetery visiting a loved one, and about 20+ Hells Angel's came riding through and parked where my car was at. As they walked by, I locked eyes with one of the bigger guys there. He looked at me and said, "What's up bro"! We talked for a couple of minutes, and he talked about how they had about 15 brothers buried their and they came from AZ to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers. As a black man talking to a white HA, I felt completely comfortable, and whatever stereotype I may have had beforehand was left at the cemetery. 😤
The same here Brother. Never had a negative experience in my interactions with members of an MC. Just respect and acknowledgment. Especially since many are fellow Veterans. Take care and God Bless.
Reguardless of who anyone is, cemetarys are hallowed ground and simple respect for eachother as human beings while mourning/visiting lost ones should just go without saying
I went to a block party a club in town throws almost every year. It’s a rough spot and the club has some crazy rumors that have stuck with it for years. My oldest daughter was still in her stroller at the time. 2 different times 2 different parched members came up and asked if we needed anything and definitely was 100% kind and respectful especially to my baby and her mama. Probably the safest party I ever went to. Louisville , Portland, if you know the area you know who I’m talking about. I’m not in so won’t say also this was years ago.
I was born & raised in St. Pete, FL and we ALWAYS had the Outlaws riding around! I have NEVER had a negative encounter with any of the members! I grew up, became a Police Officer, and again, never had a problem with them! Even though I am a Retired LEO and member of a LEO MC Club, I still have mad respect for the Outlaws MC Club!
@@sayitlikeitis9868 first of all, I'm just one individual person. Second, why you gotta troll me, dawg? Are yo7 bored? Are you trying to piss me off? I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed in you
@@gregorsamsa1364 The slim amount of Individuals that partake in that trade don’t run the clubs. There’s individuals in every massive organization.

I was stuck on side of the rode I ran out of gas all my lights were out it was bad. Group of 1% riders stopped behind me and I started clutching my “poof be gone toy” but they came and took care of me. One guy sent another to get gas and they stayed with me and got my lights working and then followed me to my exit. Great group of guys. But I showed respect to them and they showed me the same. One told me “2 wheels 1 love”
@@martinpye549 Okok I’m going to check it out. Ppl have the wrong idea about bikers. Some of the best ppl. I actually still stay in contact with those guys.
Oh man that might have been us. Where you in Tennessee? We were riding through and a family was out of gas and out of money. We got em gas and stuff. It was a man, his wife and two kids in a green Astro van. Was that you?
@@brianbarnett5024 no man I’m from Missouri. I was on my bike and ran out and was by myself.don’t know you but you’re awesome for helping that family! These are the stories and moments that should be shown more! Salute to you and your brothers and sisters on 2
Years ago I worked at a hospital as security,the Outlaws bikers came into the emergency parking lot, one of their brothers had a bike accident,I went into the gang and ask for their leader , talked to him about noise and partying in the parking lot, I ask him if they could just lower the sound and not to let anyone see them drinking or drugs. I asked him with respect and he complied, it’s amazing how you get people to respond to you if treat people with respect.
If they respected you and the other patients at the hospital, you wouldn’t have needed to ask them to quiet down in the first place, let alone not be so obvious about drugs and drinking. They’re adult men, they know better.
@LuckyCharms777 Not necessarily... Brother hurt, adrenaline is up, you're caught up. Maybe not thinking about surroundings? Someone brings it to your attention respectfully and you tightin it up. Not a big deal. Most of us are family men. I've been the one hurt and I've been the visitor. And if you're in your own area, even more of a reason to act right.
@@billyclub9863 People who don’t think about their surroundings are people who weren’t raised to be considerate of others and are instead self-centered jerks. It’s one thing to be emotionally overcome, but partying loudly outside a hospital is entirely different.
@LuckyCharms777 yep, people fuck up sometimes. Well... everyone but You!! We should have a pic of you in every Clubhouse, so we have something to strive for & burn incense in front of.
I am a corrections officer. I've walked by the Breed and Pagans at gas stations, while I'm in full uniform and in civian clothes. I usually just say, "How u guys doing, beautiful day for a ride". They have always said something nice back and I'll say have a great day and be safe out there. Never had any issues. Actually one time a guy I don't remember which club, I made a comment, those are the highest apes I ever saw. He said sit on the bike check'em out. I said, do u know how bad that would look if someone snapped a pic of me sitting on your bike in full uniform and we both laughed.
I was at Sturgis this year with my wife and the only person that respected me was a one percenter and asked me if my wife would like to sit in his spot and got up and gave his spot up in the bus so that she could sit down and be comfortable very righteous devils disciple great guy have a lot of respect for him
I was a cop 40 years ago and pulled up on a lone outlaw biker broke down on the side of the road in the dark, I turned on my lights and stood by while he got his scoot fixed. Years later after retiring I ran into the same guy and a bunch of his outlaw buddies in a bar. He remembered me and bought me a beer, said he was worried I was gonna run his tag and discover he didn’t have a license, I said I was more concerned a cage would hit him in the dark while fixing his scoot than a violation on my stat sheet. We’re all people, he respected me and got my respect in return.
@@NostalgiaHDOS no no, its the difference between institutions and organizations. all insititutions are bad when they're treated as any more than a means to an end. everytime an institution is involved and its a net positive, that is a coincidence. whether or not organizations are good is strictly a matter of the consequences of the actions of the people involved. believe it or not, corporations dont want to kill you, the government doesnt have a profit motive, the bank owes you money, and anyone wearing a uniform is not your friend. ironic as that may be.
The pegans had a clubhouse across the ally behind a small apartment complex . They invited all of us to come over but I was moving out that day. My twin brother was helping me and a suv pulled up blocking my driveway. I noticed a Vietnam veteran sticker on his back window, he got out and was 6' 6" easy and asked if he was in the way. I said your good for now and asked if he was a Vietnam vet. He answered yes and I said welcome home brother . In front of the whole biker party and his friends he instantly opened up his arms and walked up and hugged me telling me " you don't know how much that means man" I told him yes I do brother . After a long hug he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said thank you again, if I need any help just ask. He was an Outlaw but didnt have his colors on yet. .
Thanks for sharing that, man. I worked in a support facility for defense electronics compatibility and management. Many among the 1,000 employees were veterans of war. One in particular said not a word to me for the first few years of the 11 I worked there. I'd heard he'd served in Vietnam, one day asked him if he'd ever put together scrapbooks or any other memorabilia as I'd really like to see it. His entire chilly vibe flipped; people had never seen him talk so much to anyone. Outreach is nothing but good; so many veterans believe people fear them, or are just apathetic. Ask a veteran, mention it's about the whole experience, not the combat. Point is the door's open to whatever comes up. It's the willingness to listen and the empathy that counts.
My dad broke down one night on the highway late at night ,no one would stop to help , when over the hill came this lone biker helped my dad change his tire even put back the spare tire, my father told him ,do you know you’re the only guy that stopped to help , his response was , hey man what good are we if we can’t help each other he wouldn’t even take a tip and just like that he fired up the big ol Harley and disappeared into the night , thank you whomever you are thank you for watching out for my dad
'Respect is earned' is just some over said sentiment coming from insecurity and excuses. The most basic source for respect is that the other person is a human being. We are all born a human being so are entitled to be shown respect. I'm a grown man, paying my way, raising a family with half a lifetime lived. I don't need to 'earn' anyone's 'respect'. You respect I'm a human being and place value on me for everything else for yourself, that you see from me. If it is 'earned', who decides when it's paid off? The kid that don't want to listen to nobody? The junior dick in the office that thinks he can do the job better than you? The arse that has an over inflated view of their stature in life? The moneyman that judges things from income and wealth? Nah. Owe nothing to no one.
Brother Sose, I was at the Billy Graham library in Charlotte, NC and the Outlaws MC was represented by chapters from North and South Carolina bringing gifts for the kids at Christmas. The people who did not know, stayed at a distance, and glad they did since they were not up on the respect aspect. I was wearing my ministry vest, asked if I could talk with them for a while, and they were very respectful to me. Thanks for posting on this to help educate those who do not know. Shalom.
I was in uniform traveling from ft Bragg back to Ft benning ga and I broke down , not one cop stop to help me out and not one civilian , what stoped was about 70 motorcycle gang members to help me out. I’ll never forget that they paid for everything and feed me well . The heart that those men had was more then I can explain .
Im guessing they were a club. Sounds like a pretty organized ordeal with alot of good people. Lucky to have that club help you out,most gang members might not do that😂
If broke down beside the highway, there is a very big chance if someone stops to truly help you it will be a biker or an Ole'country boy. I have done it more than once on a bike and vehicle. I'm just a good Ole' country boy. However, after seeing the escaped inmate from Missouri? Put a stolen bike he was riding over the bank beside a highway. A minister stopped in his pickup to help and the escapee put several bullets in him, then taking his truck. All this caught on nearby video. I've always paid very close attention to the situation and surroundings but now even more so.
Outlaws were good to us when we were kids in Indianapolis. They let us mow their grass and gave us their cans to cash in. They loved us for being little workers. Mad respect from me always!!! ❤❤❤
I'm the old lady of a outlaws MC member SGT IN ARMS my husband and the others always enjoy helping the locals,We get a bad wrap, But most weekends we are buying groceries for the older people in town, doing charity runs for local baseball and football teams,We have a garage and work on people's cars that can't really afford it, And my husband and I own a small site development company and currently We are fixing a man's driveway that was in bad condition he's older disabled veteran and the senior services bus couldn't get down there to pick him up for doctors appointments,I know in the old days the outlaws were violent but that's changed, Just a big family that likes riding and this type of bonding SYLO

My love for motorcycles came when i was just a kid walking by the Hell's Angels clubhouse in NYC with my dad. There was a gathering, and outside the club was all their bikes lined up...to my young eyes, it was pure art! As my dad walked ahead, i couldn't help but slow down (as kids do) and admire what i saw until from out the doors, come out a bunch of members, who actually smiled at me as they jumped on their bikes. Before they rode off, one of them turned to me and said "you'll have one, one day" and he was right. I instantly and instinctively knew that being on bike meant freedom, and wearing those colors meant brotherhood, i dont know how, can't explain it. But i was hooked. I know their reputation, but i also know that underneath all that press, is humanity, raw and unfiltered. Which is a far cry different from the ppl that wear masks everyday and allow their own evil to manifest passive aggressively and deceptively. I rather deal with a community of bikers, than a community of hypocrites that like to hurt ppl from the shadows. Idk...just a worthless opinion.
Just freaking treat people with Respect. I as a Disabled Veteran 3 tours in Afghanistan, 1 in Iraq and 1 Bosnia....scared of bugs:-) lol hate them but not another man. I don't club ride...I have ridden from West Coast to East Coast no issues no patches on my vest. Oddly enough I get mad love from MC members for being a Disabled Veteran.
@@steec6713 Yes to their faces, why do you people think they are special just because they will resort to violence? Thats not respect thats fear, its best not to go where they congregate, and if you have the misfortune to be near them ie gas station, just ignore them and treat them with the contempt they deserve.
I was talking to a patch wearing biker in Ontario Canada at a service station along the 401 hwy. I walked by in the parking lot and just said hi as I was walking by.. ended up having a 15 min chat on a day I was dealing with depression, I had taken the day off and was just driving around and my day improved after just chatting with a stranger 👍
I broke down on I 95 at a rest area in Chelmsford Massachusetts. While I was crawling around under the hood of my truck I observed an older biker , wearing colors and drinking a hot coffee. My first thought was "Where did he get that?" And as I continued, and he watched more members of his colors showed up and kept on coming. There must have been 30 to 40 of them and they jumped in to get me back on the road. By the time I was leaving there , all set and ready for the highway, there were 60 or 70 of them ! The older biker was the President of the Boston Chapter and they were riding out to meet with the New York Chapter. These men were from past and present military and Police officers, past and present. They treated me like family and I am forever grateful to have crossed paths with them. I was on my way to Groton CT. for work and I got there on time!
I did security at a large bike meet many years ago here in Australia. A lot of local police were onsite. A certain group of about 50 was due to arrive. The police wanted them "wanded" with a metal detector. I got the short straw, with police watching at a distance. They arrived, I asked who was the man to talk to. I explained the situation and he was cool. I checked them one by one. "Oh, that's the steel cap in your boot", "oh, thats your belt buckle", they got the drift. We had a good laugh, they enjoyed the meet, and I didn't have one issue with them all weekend.
I was riding from Washington DC across the country spreading my 13yo son's ashes with a couple friends and my 11yo son following in a tired motor home. The motor blew in the motor home in Carson city Nevada. I pulled behind them and as I was putting my helmet on the ground behind my motorcycle a member of the Devils Disciples immediately stopped and asked what was wrong. I have been a Washington DC fireman for 23 years and I have never had anyone go to the extent that he did to help a complete stranger with no questions whatsoever! Unfortunately I lost the piece of paper with his name and contact information but I'm forever grateful! Never judge the book...
Spend 45 mins talking to a member at a COC meeting last week (I'm ABATE) and had a great conversation! Just be humble and honest. There is enough shit out there... and lies are the biggest. Thank yous for what you do! 🙏🏻
@@stephant3665well, that band name should definitely get some dirty azz outlaw bikers in the building. _'"Free Speed & Hotwings"'_ would be another good one.
@@mopar215swp lol that'd be another! Weber Been around since 1984, stopped in early nineties then reunited at my wedding and a year later we came back on the Milwaukee scene 2007??? Played monthly for 2 years.
I will always remember the day when my mom was walking the dog and about 30 Hells Angels stopped by her and I heard them ask: "Excuse us mam, but do you know where the Hells Angel's clubhouse is? Should be in Tuindorp." No Tom Tom or Garmin back then haha. She gave them directions and basicly all of them thanked her and drove off. This was in the Netherlands in 1990, they had a big yearly party there and alot of other chapters would come over. Never had any issues with them.
I met a outlaw at one of the barbers in my home town...he was running late and needed a cut...I gave him my spot in line...guy said thank you and slid me a 20 ...all always have respect for the outlaws
I'd be driving my Town Car up to see my aunt and uncle. Country roads no less. I've had a few MCs ride past me. I'd always give them a thumbs up and they'd return with the same. You give respect, you're given respect.
I am so glad he said that. The man who raised me was patched and he was a total gentleman. I never knew my father and my mother was so thankful for the bikers. He did ten years in federal prison and when he got out. My mother called him and thanked him over and over for everything he did for me and my sisters. I have so much love for the bikers. I only know two of them that are just rough and rowdy. They both are respectful and responsible. But all the others I have ever known. A good. Men of Substance. I am thankful for the bikers.
A military buddy of mine brought me to our local outlaw chapter once. I made the dumb mistake in dressing up almost all in red (Deadpool hoodie) and had a punisher hat on (I like Marvel lol). I was getting some weird looks and asked one of the members behind the bar what was up. He said “it’s your hat”, I was like what’s wrong with the hat and he said a lot of hells angels were it. I took it off and ended up buying one of the guys like 10 shots of fire ball. I could tell he was a marine vet just by the demeanor lol. I wasn’t so much scared but more so embarrassed and I ended up getting so drunk I forgot the hat on the bar. The came out like “AYE YOU FORGOT YOUR HAT” and I was even more embarrassed 😭😭 Solid guys though lol.
I spent my career in State/Fed Law Enforcement.. But growing up my Cuzzins were in HA in Memphis Tennessee.. i hung out with them.. in later years when i was a Trooper the word was to not ever give me a hard time.. I always treated MC as family
My club has a chapter in Memphis, I was stationed in Millington at NAS Memphis. Back in my USMC day 85 to 86. I have fond memories of Memphis 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
My best friend growing up his dad and buddies were outlaws some of the best guys I ever met and they still come and stop by and call me and talk to me more than my own family does 20 years later 😮
I walked into a bar in Fall River Massachusetts that happened to be a biker bar. it was below freezing snowing and by the time I thought out and realized I was surrounded by a bunch of scary-looking thugs, I was committed. everybody in the place turned out to be cool as shit. please don't have a prejudge anyone ✌️🇺🇲
I was pumping fuel into my CRF450R dirt bike in Leota Michigan about 8yrs ago and some MC riders rolled in for fuel and beer. I’ll admit at first I thought “Im riding a Honda, gonna here some shit” but it didn’t mater. They showed respect and I did to. We talked for awhile about the love of riding motorcycles and the Marine Corps stickers I was sporting on my dirt bike. I explained my son was overseas in the sandbox. Cool guys. The love of motorcycles was the connection.
Holy shit! Leota Mi, I know that area well, they must’ve been going to someone’s cottage to party, that place is such a small dot on the Michigan map they have to ship in the daylight lol😂
I have been riding since 1974. I, as a biker, have never had a problem with these gentlemen. Tell the truth you will probably or definitely have more problems with the cops before you have a problem with club members. Fear the cops more.
I talk to members of MC's all the time. Most of them are great guys. Sure, you don't want to get on their bad side but that goes for most anyone. Just be respectful as you would want others to be towards you and you're good.
This isn't hard to do, we're all people. I started talking to a dude who was in a MC, and just had a normal conversation. I asked him questions and he answered them. This and that, joked around. He thanked me for talking to him, because people, he said, are intimidated or scared. Don't be scared, as long as he respects me and I respect him, no problem.
I ran across some folks' flying colors. We ended up in my work van getting stoned. They wanted me to prospect but declined at 63. I did tell them if i can help let me know.
I worked nights at the door of a gentlemans entertainment club in Florida after early retirment . For fun mostly as you can imagine . Checking IDs and security for the ladies . This club had patched members frequent and investment i trests . Anyway , i not once experienced anything but genuine respect and friendly atmosphere from them . Most enjoyable job ever .
Club members have ALWAYS treated my family with the highest respect when they would patronize my families tavern. Ten years and I never so much as heard them utter one harsh word let alone a fight or an argument with anyone. My Mom wouldnt stand for no foolishness if they had. I have nothing but love for them. Especially Outlaws! They were actually quite protective and loyal to our business. Salt of the earth folks with more honour than most folks I meet every day. God bless them ❤ #SupportYourLocalOutlaws
I fell in momentarily with a group of outlaws at ozzfest 2002 @ somerset, WI. The fellas were great. It was a frigging blast hanging out and jamming with those guys. My only regret was that i didnt keep in touch..
I'm a Life Member with MID-WEST M/C. I've had several conversations with 1% riders. I always tell friends, "Give them respect, look them in the eyes, and introduce yourself with a solid hand shake."
I saw an old nam.veteran with this mean lowrider paint job double steel saddle with dual pipes,with a bandidos patch I said hey excuse me sir that's a sweet bike,and we talked for like five mins it was a super cool convo Coolest bike I've seen to date
@@chuckstewart6886Most people never see the things most MC do for kids. Donations, Toys, Bikes, Bookbags, clothes etc. This dudes spot on. People see a vest and colors and think it's some bad thing. We're just in it for the brotherhood.
They also get young kids addicted to hard drugs like ice and meth. Really gutless humans. They donate shit because of the guilt of all the kids they kill
I am an African American and retired US Navy Submarine Veteran. I have never had a problem talking to a member of the Outcast MC, Outlaws MC, Pagans MC, or Warlocks MC. I come to them out of a sense of respect! Good Afternoon Gentlemen can I ask about your motorcycle or if I see a insignia show that they served, I would say I served 20 years in the US Navy and served on board 4 submarines. Maybe chit chat about the military. Show respect! Get respect!
I'm an American, l served in the navy SEABEES I have loved motorcycles since I could walk I am not in any motorcycle club but outlaw or not we are all bikers first I respect all.
I work at a gas station myself one of my regulars there's a member of The Outlaws. He has always been a decent guy and been respectful to me and I returned the same. Personally my opinion is we as men regardless of what you're wearing whether it be a patch of a club or just some dude walking around need to be honorable and respectful as men. Nothing else should really have much bearing on that in my personal opinion. If anybody is afraid to go introduce yourself or say hi or whatever or have a decent conversation well maybe they need to pull their head out of their ass and grow up.
Absolutely true, I was in my favorite little bar in the woods here in TX, and there was a massive gathering of a well known biker club. I went in for a beer and bumped into a large bearded guy, who turned around and said to me 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump you!' He was perfectly polite and sincere, as were all the other guys I spoke with. I ended up leaving because it was very crowded for the tiny bar, but after the intimidation I felt at first, I felt foolish because they were all indeed just normal people enjoying themselves like I was. Cheers!
I lived in a small town in Nevada and a group of about 30 skulls came into the bar one night and I can't remember the leaders name but he quaked like a duck playing pool but anyway, the raised hell in a fun way and they where super cool with the locals everyone was buying everyone drinks and it was a blast. The next day, they were gone as quickly as they showed up.
MC club members are just people, your neighbors and veterans. A wave , a nod or a hello just like anyone you meet. I've never had a bad run in with a member. They actually stick up for people being bullied.
My wife is from the Black hills of South Dakota. she grew up in spearfish which is 20 mi west of Sturgis South Dakota. We lived on and off up there for 10 years. Of course every year we went to the rally. One year my wife and I went and we stopped at a local pub and went inside. It was standing room only. It was jam-packed. Two big guys got up from the bar out of their seats and offer them to us. After a few hours and several drinks. They invited us back to their campsite. Now keep in mind when you go into the bars or into any public establishment you are supposed to take off your colors which means what bike club you represent. When these two guys got up to leave after buying us several rounds of drinks for my wife and I. They put on their leather vest and on the back it read....,, Hell's Angel. Two of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. Been to Sturgis rally many times but that memory sticks in my mind the most. They were just good guys wanting to hang out and drink a beer and tell stories.
True story: I made an emergency stop at a gas station in a small Commiefornia mountain town off a major freeway. My 5 year old daughter needed to use the bathroom, really bad, there was a about 40-50 bikers there, 1%ers, they saw the situation and immediately started calling out orders for everyone to move and let the little lady through. These guys were bigger gentleman than any 9 out of 10 guys out there. A half dozen hellos and even asking if she made it ok.
Biker clubs have some of the most patriotic and respectful guys you will ever meet, i even would go as far to say they seem nore humble then most civilians
I've met guys from various clubs and have never been intimidated by any of them. I just walk up to em and say "Nice bike, how's it going?" Then most of the time we chew the fat for a few and then we go our separate ways. Society has just put such a stigma on it..
Be a man and look them in the eye and shake his hands. its all about respect! I actually love it when people approach us and shake our hands. Might even invite them to the clubhouse
Hello , I seen many Hels Angles at the gas pumps up north in Canada, I waved to the guys and they smiled and waved to me , I felt like I belong in society and they are doing their thing and I’m doing mine we just crossed paths and it was an experience I cherish 😊
No joke, the other day I talked with three dudes on Harleys about a 26" front tire. Cool dudes. They introduced themselves as the top three of the Thunderguards, and the 1% patches came out. They invited me out to the alt spot for the local bike week. Hell yeah. 😂
I used to work at a bar decades ago that was “known” anybody buying them dudes a round, always ended up having a helluva good time the rest of the evening. YMMV 🤷♂️
The Detroit outlaws here on the east side of Detroit Michigan. Don't go out of their way to intimidate or really bother people here. a lot of good Brothers in that club my hats off to them I have nothing bad to say about their conduct they don't bother anybody they stay to themselves. It's all about respect. I remember my friend had a mini bike over there and couldn't get it running. The outlaw members went and got a spark plug and put it in the motor and the thing fired up and he adjusted the carburetor for us. And We had a lot of fun all day and through the night man were young kids then.
I was about 20 and driving a vehicle for a company i was working for. Had just gotten my license and the vehicle just slowed to an almost stall. Managed go get it to a service station and there was like a sea of bikers. Hopped out and asked them if they knew anything about trucks and that I didnt know shit. Lol. They were super cool and clowned me for not knowing about the DEF fluid. Spoke about the best entry level bike to purchase, gave dap and then dipped.
I'm a 50 year old non member biker...first off bikers are some of best people you can know. We have a couple 1%er clubs in my area of ohio and I haven't met a bad one yet. Point blank just good people
I use to work with a couple of banditos and ended up renting a home from one of them. Always showed me respect. I ride also and they tried several times to get me to join the club. But being a prospect doesn't fly with me. And I use to live a few homes down from the outlaws. When me and my beautiful wife would take our walks each night they always respected myself and my wife. MC clubs show more respect than gang bangers and the police
I have a coworker that is a 1%er, he is in a club that works with Hells Angels. He is one of the nicest and funniest guys i know and he often talk to me like a father figure. He is really amazing. not what i expect for a Soldier Of Arms.
Yes ! We’re just human like you but not like you because you are lower in the biker hierarchy. I get they have to do a lot for the patch and will have to step up for their club mates but don’t see why that is connected to me on a bike. You’re still going to batter me because I’m not in your group if you feel like it ,bike or not!
My old man ran with a 1%'r club. They were the most loyal and down to earth dudes I've ever came across in my life. I'm 45 now and still haven't seen anybody in my life that are that good of dudes. They are definitely painted as scary people in the media. It's not like they make them out to be. UNLESS you're fuckin up lol
Fresh out of high school back in '92, working 3rd shift at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, a couple of Outlaws pull up in a station wagon. I thought they weren't supposed to be wearing colors in a 4 wheeler but I wasn't about to call them on it. One guy was gassing up and the other came in with a Thermos. It was a slow night and I hadn't made fresh coffee in a while. I made a fresh pot and told them no charge for coffee since they had to wait. They were really cool, no lie I was a little scared, but no issues. They gave a fifty for $40 in gas
#GHOSTIN this is fact. Media has people scared to death of bikers. I have NEVER been dissed or mistreated by any biker. Known or unknown. Respect goes both ways. Just regular guys that ride. No disrespect, no problems🤷🏻♀️
I bought a round of beers for a table of 1% (Mongols) I didn’t converse but when I left the one guy lifted his bottle to me as I walked by. Look, these guys are just people. Show them respect, give them space and be polite. Isn’t that what we all want..?
That's how I've met several Hells Angels. When I see them around I always just say hi and maybe comment on their bikes or something. That's how you get to know people, bikers or not.
From my experience. a biker will help you out quicker than a politician & a preacher r anyone else. I myself come from 81 I've never met my father. I was told he was a good guy. the media made them out to be bad. Always support your local MC Club. And they do support their communities in a lot of ways that the media does not show. Be safe and ride safe
I Will Say Hallo! I Respect All MC's, We have Lots of MC Club's here in New York City, and They Make Our Neighborhoods Save, Shout Out to All MC's and You Sose,
I play drums with a band. We had a gig in Macon GA at a biker bar. At the end of our first set one of them came up and asked if he could make an announcement. We said sure, he proceeded to announce that the charity gift basket raffle was about to commence. We got to talking and he was a drummer too.
I’m in an MC and would simply introduce myself as my road name, Sgt. of Arms and my club name, if Idk the member personally. I love MC culture and the way we give/receive respect to each other with a common bond. MC’s are some of the most accepting and supportive and fun people to be around.
The dude is in a motorcycle club- it's not that deep. If I was with a man that got all nervous and started fawning over a guy getting gas bc of what club he was in or what patches he had-that would be it. I'd lose all respect. I'm actually embarrassed that guys act like this. FFS.
I was at the cemetery visiting a loved one, and about 20+ Hells Angel's came riding through and parked where my car was at. As they walked by, I locked eyes with one of the bigger guys there. He looked at me and said, "What's up bro"! We talked for a couple of minutes, and he talked about how they had about 15 brothers buried their and they came from AZ to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers. As a black man talking to a white HA, I felt completely comfortable, and whatever stereotype I may have had beforehand was left at the cemetery. 😤
The same here Brother. Never had a negative experience in my interactions with members of an MC. Just respect and acknowledgment. Especially since many are fellow Veterans. Take care and God Bless.
Reguardless of who anyone is, cemetarys are hallowed ground and simple respect for eachother as human beings while mourning/visiting lost ones should just go without saying
I feel more comfortable meeting a 1%er than I do a member of the Blue Club.
I went to a block party a club in town throws almost every year. It’s a rough spot and the club has some crazy rumors that have stuck with it for years. My oldest daughter was still in her stroller at the time. 2 different times 2 different parched members came up and asked if we needed anything and definitely was 100% kind and respectful especially to my baby and her mama. Probably the safest party I ever went to. Louisville , Portland, if you know the area you know who I’m talking about. I’m not in so won’t say also this was years ago.
Amen we are all humans and just want to make our communities better
I was born & raised in St. Pete, FL and we ALWAYS had the Outlaws riding around! I have NEVER had a negative encounter with any of the members! I grew up, became a Police Officer, and again, never had a problem with them! Even though I am a Retired LEO and member of a LEO MC Club, I still have mad respect for the Outlaws MC Club!
Why do you have mas respect for a meth gang? Do you also have mad respect for the bloods and crips?

I also was born in St Pete, they live down the road from us in the alley and I was always down there hanging out with them I was little bitty.
I was stuck on side of the rode I ran out of gas all my lights were out it was bad. Group of 1% riders stopped behind me and I started clutching my “poof be gone toy” but they came and took care of me. One guy sent another to get gas and they stayed with me and got my lights working and then followed me to my exit. Great group of guys. But I showed respect to them and they showed me the same. One told me “2 wheels 1 love”
I just shared a similar story above.
@@martinpye549 Okok I’m going to check it out. Ppl have the wrong idea about bikers. Some of the best ppl. I actually still stay in contact with those guys.
Oh man that might have been us. Where you in Tennessee? We were riding through and a family was out of gas and out of money. We got em gas and stuff. It was a man, his wife and two kids in a green Astro van. Was that you?

First of all a 1% won't ever be on camera saying shit, there's that...
Years ago I worked at a hospital as security,the Outlaws bikers came into the emergency parking lot, one of their brothers had a bike accident,I went into the gang and ask for their leader , talked to him about noise and partying in the parking lot, I ask him if they could just lower the sound and not to let anyone see them drinking or drugs. I asked him with respect and he complied, it’s amazing how you get people to respond to you if treat people with respect.
If they respected you and the other patients at the hospital, you wouldn’t have needed to ask them to quiet down in the first place, let alone not be so obvious about drugs and drinking. They’re adult men, they know better.
@LuckyCharms777
Not necessarily... Brother hurt, adrenaline is up, you're caught up. Maybe not thinking about surroundings? Someone brings it to your attention respectfully and you tightin it up. Not a big deal. Most of us are family men. I've been the one hurt and I've been the visitor. And if you're in your own area, even more of a reason to act right.
@@billyclub9863
People who don’t think about their surroundings are people who weren’t raised to be considerate of others and are instead self-centered jerks. It’s one thing to be emotionally overcome, but partying loudly outside a hospital is entirely different.
@LuckyCharms777 yep, people fuck up sometimes. Well... everyone but You!! We should have a pic of you in every Clubhouse, so we have something to strive for & burn incense in front of.
@@billyclub9863
There’s only one God, and I’m not him. Thanks for the thought though.
I am a corrections officer. I've walked by the Breed and Pagans at gas stations, while I'm in full uniform and in civian clothes. I usually just say, "How u guys doing, beautiful day for a ride". They have always said something nice back and I'll say have a great day and be safe out there. Never had any issues. Actually one time a guy I don't remember which club, I made a comment, those are the highest apes I ever saw. He said sit on the bike check'em out. I said, do u know how bad that would look if someone snapped a pic of me sitting on your bike in full uniform and we both laughed.
I was at Sturgis this year with my wife and the only person that respected me was a one percenter and asked me if my wife would like to sit in his spot and got up and gave his spot up in the bus so that she could sit down and be comfortable very righteous devils disciple great guy have a lot of respect for him

I was a cop 40 years ago and pulled up on a lone outlaw biker broke down on the side of the road in the dark, I turned on my lights and stood by while he got his scoot fixed. Years later after retiring I ran into the same guy and a bunch of his outlaw buddies in a bar. He remembered me and bought me a beer, said he was worried I was gonna run his tag and discover he didn’t have a license, I said I was more concerned a cage would hit him in the dark while fixing his scoot than a violation on my stat sheet. We’re all people, he respected me and got my respect in return.

@@Teerakjoopjoopnot necessarily all. But the “good” cops who don’t hold their bad coworkers accountable are just as bad
@@NostalgiaHDOS no no, its the difference between institutions and organizations. all insititutions are bad when they're treated as any more than a means to an end. everytime an institution is involved and its a net positive, that is a coincidence. whether or not organizations are good is strictly a matter of the consequences of the actions of the people involved. believe it or not, corporations dont want to kill you, the government doesnt have a profit motive, the bank owes you money, and anyone wearing a uniform is not your friend. ironic as that may be.

What's a stat sheet?
The pegans had a clubhouse across the ally behind a small apartment complex . They invited all of us to come over but I was moving out that day. My twin brother was helping me and a suv pulled up blocking my driveway. I noticed a Vietnam veteran sticker on his back window, he got out and was 6' 6" easy and asked if he was in the way. I said your good for now and asked if he was a Vietnam vet. He answered yes and I said welcome home brother . In front of the whole biker party and his friends he instantly opened up his arms and walked up and hugged me telling me " you don't know how much that means man" I told him yes I do brother . After a long hug he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said thank you again, if I need any help just ask. He was an Outlaw but didnt have his colors on yet. .
if all the " Black & White" clubs would Unite under one banner Jeez that would be one Supersized club.
True. But won't happen. Too many differences of opinions.
Thanks for sharing that, man. I worked in a support facility for defense electronics compatibility and management. Many among the 1,000 employees were veterans of war. One in particular said not a word to me for the first few years of the 11 I worked there. I'd heard he'd served in Vietnam, one day asked him if he'd ever put together scrapbooks or any other memorabilia as I'd really like to see it. His entire chilly vibe flipped; people had never seen him talk so much to anyone. Outreach is nothing but good; so many veterans believe people fear them, or are just apathetic. Ask a veteran, mention it's about the whole experience, not the combat. Point is the door's open to whatever comes up. It's the willingness to listen and the empathy that counts.
My dad broke down one night on the highway late at night ,no one would stop to help , when over the hill came this lone biker helped my dad change his tire even put back the spare tire, my father told him ,do you know you’re the only guy that stopped to help , his response was , hey man what good are we if we can’t help each other he wouldn’t even take a tip and just like that he fired up the big ol Harley and disappeared into the night , thank you whomever you are thank you for watching out for my dad
I always said bikers or M.C. are like bee's just let them be. Don't start nothing just let them do their thing.
They're pretty cool people.
Politeness is given, respect is earned.
And you can earn respect by being polite
The only problem is that there are people out there confusing respect with fear !
'Respect is earned' is just some over said sentiment coming from insecurity and excuses. The most basic source for respect is that the other person is a human being. We are all born a human being so are entitled to be shown respect. I'm a grown man, paying my way, raising a family with half a lifetime lived. I don't need to 'earn' anyone's 'respect'. You respect I'm a human being and place value on me for everything else for yourself, that you see from me. If it is 'earned', who decides when it's paid off? The kid that don't want to listen to nobody? The junior dick in the office that thinks he can do the job better than you? The arse that has an over inflated view of their stature in life? The moneyman that judges things from income and wealth? Nah. Owe nothing to no one.
Respect is given,, Trust is earned..
I automatically give respect (since most people can't earn it) unless they do something for me to take it away.
Brother Sose, I was at the Billy Graham library in Charlotte, NC and the Outlaws MC was represented by chapters from North and South Carolina bringing gifts for the kids at Christmas. The people who did not know, stayed at a distance, and glad they did since they were not up on the respect aspect. I was wearing my ministry vest, asked if I could talk with them for a while, and they were very respectful to me. Thanks for posting on this to help educate those who do not know. Shalom.
there's wanting to interact and say hello, and then there's kissing these guys asses. Have a little self respect people
I definitely see that with HA supporters here in Northern Commiefornia.
Amen
Ikr that was my first thought...I respect people I don't worship them.
@nameless76mozwhaz9 LOL well said and funny
Agreed
Exactly man.. I wish the media would say things about how they help kids and the community too..
I was in uniform traveling from ft Bragg back to Ft benning ga and I broke down , not one cop stop to help me out and not one civilian , what stoped was about 70 motorcycle gang members to help me out. I’ll never forget that they paid for everything and feed me well . The heart that those men had was more then I can explain .
Im guessing they were a club. Sounds like a pretty organized ordeal with alot of good people. Lucky to have that club help you out,most gang members might not do that😂
Must have been good Ole 15
A lot of outlaw bikers are veterans themselves.
If broke down beside the highway, there is a very big chance if someone stops to truly help you it will be a biker or an Ole'country boy.
I have done it more than once on a bike and vehicle. I'm just a good Ole' country boy.
However, after seeing the escaped inmate from Missouri? Put a stolen bike he was riding over the bank beside a highway. A minister stopped in his pickup to help and the escapee put several bullets in him, then taking his truck. All this caught on nearby video. I've always paid very close attention to the situation and surroundings but now even more so.
@@kentuckywindage222 glad I was in uniform and my plates where West Virginia and I had military stickers both front and back . Yea I’m a hill billy
Outlaws were good to us when we were kids in Indianapolis. They let us mow their grass and gave us their cans to cash in. They loved us for being little workers. Mad respect from me always!!! ❤❤❤
I'm the old lady of a outlaws MC member SGT IN ARMS my husband and the others always enjoy helping the locals,We get a bad wrap, But most weekends we are buying groceries for the older people in town, doing charity runs for local baseball and football teams,We have a garage and work on people's cars that can't really afford it, And my husband and I own a small site development company and currently We are fixing a man's driveway that was in bad condition he's older disabled veteran and the senior services bus couldn't get down there to pick him up for doctors appointments,I know in the old days the outlaws were violent but that's changed, Just a big family that likes riding and this type of bonding SYLO

My love for motorcycles came when i was just a kid walking by the Hell's Angels clubhouse in NYC with my dad.
There was a gathering, and outside the club was all their bikes lined up...to my young eyes, it was pure art!
As my dad walked ahead, i couldn't help but slow down (as kids do) and admire what i saw until from out the doors, come out a bunch of members, who actually smiled at me as they jumped on their bikes.
Before they rode off, one of them turned to me and said "you'll have one, one day" and he was right.
I instantly and instinctively knew that being on bike meant freedom, and wearing those colors meant brotherhood, i dont know how, can't explain it. But i was hooked.
I know their reputation, but i also know that underneath all that press, is humanity, raw and unfiltered.
Which is a far cry different from the ppl that wear masks everyday and allow their own evil to manifest passive aggressively and deceptively.
I rather deal with a community of bikers, than a community of hypocrites that like to hurt ppl from the shadows.
Idk...just a worthless opinion.
An opinion is not "worthless" if at least one person finds worth! 🤘✌️
Just freaking treat people with Respect. I as a Disabled Veteran 3 tours in Afghanistan, 1 in Iraq and 1 Bosnia....scared of bugs:-) lol hate them but not another man. I don't club ride...I have ridden from West Coast to East Coast no issues no patches on my vest.
Oddly enough I get mad love from MC members for being a Disabled Veteran.

Yes to their faces, why do you people think they are special just because they will resort to violence? Thats not respect thats fear, its best not to go where they congregate, and if you have the misfortune to be near them ie gas station, just ignore them and treat them with the contempt they deserve.
I was talking to a patch wearing biker in Ontario Canada at a service station along the 401 hwy. I walked by in the parking lot and just said hi as I was walking by.. ended up having a 15 min chat on a day I was dealing with depression, I had taken the day off and was just driving around and my day improved after just chatting with a stranger 👍
I broke down on I 95 at a rest area in Chelmsford Massachusetts. While I was crawling around under the hood of my truck I observed an older biker , wearing colors and drinking a hot coffee. My first thought was "Where did he get that?" And as I continued, and he watched more members of his colors showed up and kept on coming. There must have been 30 to 40 of them and they jumped in to get me back on the road. By the time I was leaving there , all set and ready for the highway, there were 60 or 70 of them !
The older biker was the President of the Boston Chapter and they were riding out to meet with the New York Chapter. These men were from past and present military and Police officers, past and present. They treated me like family and I am forever grateful to have crossed paths with them. I was on my way to Groton CT. for work and I got there on time!
Ever figure out where he got the hot coffee?
I did security at a large bike meet many years ago here in Australia. A lot of local police were onsite. A certain group of about 50 was due to arrive. The police wanted them "wanded" with a metal detector. I got the short straw, with police watching at a distance. They arrived, I asked who was the man to talk to. I explained the situation and he was cool. I checked them one by one. "Oh, that's the steel cap in your boot", "oh, thats your belt buckle", they got the drift. We had a good laugh, they enjoyed the meet, and I didn't have one issue with them all weekend.
I was riding from Washington DC across the country spreading my 13yo son's ashes with a couple friends and my 11yo son following in a tired motor home. The motor blew in the motor home in Carson city Nevada. I pulled behind them and as I was putting my helmet on the ground behind my motorcycle a member of the Devils Disciples immediately stopped and asked what was wrong. I have been a Washington DC fireman for 23 years and I have never had anyone go to the extent that he did to help a complete stranger with no questions whatsoever! Unfortunately I lost the piece of paper with his name and contact information but I'm forever grateful! Never judge the book...

I will always remember the day when my mom was walking the dog and about 30 Hells Angels stopped by her and I heard them ask: "Excuse us mam, but do you know where the Hells Angel's clubhouse is? Should be in Tuindorp." No Tom Tom or Garmin back then haha. She gave them directions and basicly all of them thanked her and drove off.
This was in the Netherlands in 1990, they had a big yearly party there and alot of other chapters would come over. Never had any issues with them.
I met a outlaw at one of the barbers in my home town...he was running late and needed a cut...I gave him my spot in line...guy said thank you and slid me a 20 ...all always have respect for the outlaws
I'd be driving my Town Car up to see my aunt and uncle. Country roads no less. I've had a few MCs ride past me. I'd always give them a thumbs up and they'd return with the same. You give respect, you're given respect.
I am so glad he said that. The man who raised me was patched and he was a total gentleman. I never knew my father and my mother was so thankful for the bikers. He did ten years in federal prison and when he got out. My mother called him and thanked him over and over for everything he did for me and my sisters. I have so much love for the bikers. I only know two of them that are just rough and rowdy. They both are respectful and responsible. But all the others I have ever known. A good. Men of Substance. I am thankful for the bikers.
A military buddy of mine brought me to our local outlaw chapter once. I made the dumb mistake in dressing up almost all in red (Deadpool hoodie) and had a punisher hat on (I like Marvel lol). I was getting some weird looks and asked one of the members behind the bar what was up. He said “it’s your hat”, I was like what’s wrong with the hat and he said a lot of hells angels were it. I took it off and ended up buying one of the guys like 10 shots of fire ball. I could tell he was a marine vet just by the demeanor lol. I wasn’t so much scared but more so embarrassed and I ended up getting so drunk I forgot the hat on the bar. The came out like “AYE YOU FORGOT YOUR HAT” and I was even more embarrassed 😭😭
Solid guys though lol.
I spent my career in State/Fed Law Enforcement.. But growing up my Cuzzins were in HA in Memphis Tennessee.. i hung out with them.. in later years when i was a Trooper the word was to not ever give me a hard time.. I always treated MC as family

I was pumping fuel into my CRF450R dirt bike in Leota Michigan about 8yrs ago and some MC riders rolled in for fuel and beer. I’ll admit at first I thought “Im riding a Honda, gonna here some shit” but it didn’t mater. They showed respect and I did to. We talked for awhile about the love of riding motorcycles and the Marine Corps stickers I was sporting on my dirt bike. I explained my son was overseas in the sandbox. Cool guys. The love of motorcycles was the connection.

I have been riding since 1974. I, as a biker, have never had a problem with these gentlemen. Tell the truth you will probably or definitely have more problems with the cops before you have a problem with club members. Fear the cops more.
I talk to members of MC's all the time. Most of them are great guys. Sure, you don't want to get on their bad side but that goes for most anyone. Just be respectful as you would want others to be towards you and you're good.
Thank You! For this kind of content this is what the world need.
This isn't hard to do, we're all people. I started talking to a dude who was in a MC, and just had a normal conversation. I asked him questions and he answered them. This and that, joked around. He thanked me for talking to him, because people, he said, are intimidated or scared. Don't be scared, as long as he respects me and I respect him, no problem.

Ten years and I never so much as heard them utter one harsh word let alone a fight or an argument with anyone. My Mom wouldnt stand for no foolishness if they had. I have nothing but love for them. Especially Outlaws! They were actually quite protective and loyal to our business. Salt of the earth folks with more honour than most folks I meet every day. God bless them ❤ #SupportYourLocalOutlaws
This is why I respect outlaw bikers, they are very respectful of others not like gang bangers that like to intimidate people!
Love that answer 🙏👏👏👏
Bikers take care of the elderly & kids. Ive seen it first hand. My interactions with bikers has for the most part been pretty positive.
Sure. And I’ve seen one of them kill a woman in front of her 6 year old daughter. I guess that evens out.
I fell in momentarily with a group of outlaws at ozzfest 2002 @ somerset, WI. The fellas were great. It was a frigging blast hanging out and jamming with those guys. My only regret was that i didnt keep in touch..

I am an African American and retired US Navy Submarine Veteran. I have never had a problem talking to a member of the Outcast MC, Outlaws MC, Pagans MC, or Warlocks MC. I come to them out of a sense of respect! Good Afternoon Gentlemen can I ask about your motorcycle or if I see a insignia show that they served, I would say I served 20 years in the US Navy and served on board 4 submarines. Maybe chit chat about the military. Show respect! Get respect!
I'm an American, l served in the navy SEABEES I have loved motorcycles since I could walk I am not in any motorcycle club but outlaw or not we are all bikers first I respect all.
We in Outlaws mc are the most respectful people when some guys come to us to say hello OFFO
I work at a gas station myself one of my regulars there's a member of The Outlaws. He has always been a decent guy and been respectful to me and I returned the same. Personally my opinion is we as men regardless of what you're wearing whether it be a patch of a club or just some dude walking around need to be honorable and respectful as men. Nothing else should really have much bearing on that in my personal opinion. If anybody is afraid to go introduce yourself or say hi or whatever or have a decent conversation well maybe they need to pull their head out of their ass and grow up.
Absolutely true, I was in my favorite little bar in the woods here in TX, and there was a massive gathering of a well known biker club. I went in for a beer and bumped into a large bearded guy, who turned around and said to me 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump you!' He was perfectly polite and sincere, as were all the other guys I spoke with. I ended up leaving because it was very crowded for the tiny bar, but after the intimidation I felt at first, I felt foolish because they were all indeed just normal people enjoying themselves like I was. Cheers!
I lived in a small town in Nevada and a group of about 30 skulls came into the bar one night and I can't remember the leaders name but he quaked like a duck playing pool but anyway, the raised hell in a fun way and they where super cool with the locals everyone was buying everyone drinks and it was a blast. The next day, they were gone as quickly as they showed up.
Keep up the good work bro ❤
MC club members are just people, your neighbors and veterans. A wave , a nod or a hello just like anyone you meet. I've never had a bad run in with a member. They actually stick up for people being bullied.
My wife is from the Black hills of South Dakota. she grew up in spearfish which is 20 mi west of Sturgis South Dakota.
We lived on and off up there for 10 years.
Of course every year we went to the rally.
One year my wife and I went and we stopped at a local pub and went inside.
It was standing room only.
It was jam-packed.
Two big guys got up from the bar out of their seats and offer them to us.
After a few hours and several drinks.
They invited us back to their campsite.
Now keep in mind when you go into the bars or into any public establishment you are supposed to take off your colors which means what bike club you represent.
When these two guys got up to leave after buying us several rounds of drinks for my wife and I.
They put on their leather vest and on the back it read....,, Hell's Angel.
Two of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet.
Been to Sturgis rally many times but that memory sticks in my mind the most.
They were just good guys wanting to hang out and drink a beer and tell stories.
True story: I made an emergency stop at a gas station in a small Commiefornia mountain town off a major freeway.
My 5 year old daughter needed to use the bathroom, really bad, there was a about 40-50 bikers there, 1%ers, they saw the situation and immediately started calling out orders for everyone to move and let the little lady through. These guys were bigger gentleman than any 9 out of 10 guys out there. A half dozen hellos and even asking if she made it ok.
Respect is earned, by anyone. Don’t give it don’t get it
Biker clubs have some of the most patriotic and respectful guys you will ever meet, i even would go as far to say they seem nore humble then most civilians
I always give the head nod
I've met guys from various clubs and have never been intimidated by any of them. I just walk up to em and say "Nice bike, how's it going?" Then most of the time we chew the fat for a few and then we go our separate ways. Society has just put such a stigma on it..
Be a man and look them in the eye and shake his hands. its all about respect! I actually love it when people approach us and shake our hands. Might even invite them to the clubhouse
bullshit , they dun wanna shake ya hand like i wuddnt want to
@@halld3460go back to school, learn how to speak, read and write. And then STFU.
Hello , I seen many Hels Angles at the gas pumps up north in Canada, I waved to the guys and they smiled and waved to me , I felt like I belong in society and they are doing their thing and I’m doing mine we just crossed paths and it was an experience I cherish 😊
Take off your glasses, no gloves, move normally, and respect the bikes and just talk. This is what I have always done.
Ask em if they want some coffee ,,who doesn't like free hot coffee ? Works with me !
Black and White forever!!!
Everybody knows the HA runs it. That’s that
@johnboogle6442 The thumbs down button don't work unfortunately
@@johnboogle6442 it doesn't matter whom runs whatever, show respect and treat em how you want to be treated back
quite simple really
@@jamiejones6994 it does… denials a bitch huh
Black and white or black and blue
I love this!! That's a real man right there. Class
I was told not to touch the patch if giving a hug .
Correct
If its your boy its no problem but if its a stranger or your being introduced theres no need for the hug
Yeah, you're only supposed to touch their baIIs and pee-pee.
Correct , and take of gloves when shaking hands and lift off your sunglasses
@@joecuillo5005wrong. NEVER touch a patch. No matter who’s it is
No joke, the other day I talked with three dudes on Harleys about a 26" front tire. Cool dudes. They introduced themselves as the top three of the Thunderguards, and the 1% patches came out. They invited me out to the alt spot for the local bike week. Hell yeah. 😂
Ran into a club and bought them a round of drinks. Some of the coolest guys I've met.
I used to work at a bar decades ago that was “known” anybody buying them dudes a round, always ended up having a helluva good time the rest of the evening. YMMV 🤷♂️
So you bought them a "hi guys don't beat me up" round😂
then a round of blowjobs?
@@funny-af-name😂😂
Bikers are some of the nicest, most polite people you’ll come across !!!!!! Just give them respect, And do not mess with them. !!!!!!
These are the boys America needs to see.
Their old school beliefs.
The Detroit outlaws here on the east side of Detroit Michigan. Don't go out of their way to intimidate or really bother people here. a lot of good Brothers in that club my hats off to them I have nothing bad to say about their conduct they don't bother anybody they stay to themselves. It's all about respect. I remember my friend had a mini bike over there and couldn't get it running. The outlaw members went and got a spark plug and put it in the motor and the thing fired up and he adjusted the carburetor for us. And We had a lot of fun all day and through the night man were young kids then.
O. F. F. O.
I was about 20 and driving a vehicle for a company i was working for. Had just gotten my license and the vehicle just slowed to an almost stall. Managed go get it to a service station and there was like a sea of bikers. Hopped out and asked them if they knew anything about trucks and that I didnt know shit. Lol. They were super cool and clowned me for not knowing about the DEF fluid. Spoke about the best entry level bike to purchase, gave dap and then dipped.
I'm a 50 year old non member biker...first off bikers are some of best people you can know. We have a couple 1%er clubs in my area of ohio and I haven't met a bad one yet. Point blank just good people
Same. OH here to. Got HA and outlaws lol
I use to work with a couple of banditos and ended up renting a home from one of them. Always showed me respect. I ride also and they tried several times to get me to join the club. But being a prospect doesn't fly with me. And I use to live a few homes down from the outlaws. When me and my beautiful wife would take our walks each night they always respected myself and my wife. MC clubs show more respect than gang bangers and the police
I've had beers with Outlaws in Florida at the bar. They were cool and there wasn't any problems in that bar.
Why would anybody be scared of this dude because he’s riding a tricycle😂😂😂😂 bikers. You guys are hilarious.
Bro true 1%er clubs get down. U never watched gangland or seen in the new bout shootouts and cars bombings this dude have done. Fuck outta here
Quit talking all Generic keyboard warrior
Play with your puppy sissy
I have a coworker that is a 1%er, he is in a club that works with Hells Angels. He is one of the nicest and funniest guys i know and he often talk to me like a father figure. He is really amazing. not what i expect for a Soldier Of Arms.
Civilians 😂 your a civilian too
Yes ! We’re just human like you but not like you because you are lower in the biker hierarchy. I get they have to do a lot for the patch and will have to step up for their club mates but don’t see why that is connected to me on a bike. You’re still going to batter me because I’m not in your group if you feel like it ,bike or not!
My old man ran with a 1%'r club. They were the most loyal and down to earth dudes I've ever came across in my life. I'm 45 now and still haven't seen anybody in my life that are that good of dudes. They are definitely painted as scary people in the media. It's not like they make them out to be. UNLESS you're fuckin up lol
We’re just regular people. Yeah we run drugs, guns, women, assault people 10 on 1 and even murder, but we talk about the weather too.
Fresh out of high school back in '92, working 3rd shift at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, a couple of Outlaws pull up in a station wagon. I thought they weren't supposed to be wearing colors in a 4 wheeler but I wasn't about to call them on it. One guy was gassing up and the other came in with a Thermos. It was a slow night and I hadn't made fresh coffee in a while. I made a fresh pot and told them no charge for coffee since they had to wait. They were really cool, no lie I was a little scared, but no issues. They gave a fifty for $40 in gas
#GHOSTIN this is fact. Media has people scared to death of bikers. I have NEVER been dissed or mistreated by any biker. Known or unknown. Respect goes both ways. Just regular guys that ride. No disrespect, no problems🤷🏻♀️
I bought a round of beers for a table of 1% (Mongols) I didn’t converse but when I left the one guy lifted his bottle to me as I walked by. Look, these guys are just people. Show them respect, give them space and be polite. Isn’t that what we all want..?
That's how I've met several Hells Angels. When I see them around I always just say hi and maybe comment on their bikes or something. That's how you get to know people, bikers or not.
From my experience. a biker will help you out quicker than a politician & a preacher r anyone else. I myself come from 81 I've never met my father. I was told he was a good guy. the media made them out to be bad. Always support your local MC Club. And they do support their communities in a lot of ways that the media does not show. Be safe and ride safe
I Will Say Hallo! I Respect All MC's, We have Lots of MC Club's here in New York City, and They Make Our Neighborhoods Save, Shout Out to All MC's and You Sose,
I play drums with a band. We had a gig in Macon GA at a biker bar. At the end of our first set one of them came up and asked if he could make an announcement. We said sure, he proceeded to announce that the charity gift basket raffle was about to commence. We got to talking and he was a drummer too.
I’m in an MC and would simply introduce myself as my road name, Sgt. of Arms and my club name, if Idk the member personally. I love MC culture and the way we give/receive respect to each other with a common bond. MC’s are some of the most accepting and supportive and fun people to be around.
The dude is in a motorcycle club- it's not that deep. If I was with a man that got all nervous and started fawning over a guy getting gas bc of what club he was in or what patches he had-that would be it. I'd lose all respect. I'm actually embarrassed that guys act like this. FFS.
