Let me preface this by saying that I'm NOT in a club, even though I've been invited before. I don't like drama or politics. I'm more of the quiet observer who can spot the bullshit before it happens. I love to ride and believe that if you're going to group together, it is to ride & party together. Everything else is a detriment to that. To that end, I remain uncommitted and free to do as I choose.
Props Sose, I love that you use DCMC footage, thank you for also representing Chrisatian MC's, and Motorcycle Ministries. I can say as a guy who's working towards being an MM pastor for my region, it means a lot to have some one showing the non 1% who are out here winning hearts for the LORD, God bless brother, and ride safe.

You forgot one type of brother “Mr Reliable”- The patched out prospect who isn’t appreciated until he’s gone. Will do anything for a brother but sometimes gets caught spending more time on a mission than on his bike
@@DarkGMarinea prospect is busted doing something for the brotherhood, and ends up imprisoned, before they can patch in and ride alongside their fellow members.
At 74, I'm the OOG. Been there, done that a thousand times, and put in the work for 54 years. I've built ground ups since the late 60s, when you could pick up a basket case for $100 WITH a title. The life's been good, but it took it's toll on these old bones. I have about 20lbs of metal in me.
Much respect!!!! Back when “true freedom” went hand in hand with our lifestyle. As my momma always said, I was born at the wrong time with the right mind!!! 🤘
This is one of the reasons I don't say anything about my past. People meet me, I start to share my backstory, and people automatically think I'm lying. That's why I simply never say anything anymore. Directly in response to your comment though... And that's exactly the reason I was brought on to do what I did. It's common sense. Who do you think they are going to look into as a suspect? The nerdy white dude in his early twenties or the beefy biker wearing a cut..? Subtly and misdirection my friend.
I'm the 9th type of rider. I am the "wrench" of the group. I always have tools, I have taken the proper courses in mechanics and electronics. Macgyver has called me a few times to ask what he needs to do to fix his bike while out on the road. People want to ride with me because they know that before we go, I will help them be road worthy and if you break down, I will be able to fix the problem. I even carry spare parts that are the Achille's heel of your ride. You know, that electrical part that fails and sets you in a motel for a day or so waiting for your bike to be fixed while the part is FedEx'd in overnight. The wrench is old school knowledgable and can fix even the new bikes because he keeps up with technology. Oh, and I ask nothing in return but your friendship and loyalty to the club and maybe a beer once in a while.
Always interesting stuff here Sose. My pull into the club was the discipline, heritage and comradery that I missed when I retired from the military. After about 6 years of club life I had to leave however. Things got violent when the club grew because we relaxed our standards for "quantity" instead of "quality" members.
Yeah, same here. I'm the guy you NEVER see because i'm offroad, sideways, in the air, ripping wheelies through the desert yelling "Yeehaw" and scaring the hell out of rabbits on a big camo mad max dirt bike while everyone is heading to the club or bar. I was watching Alex Riemann shred trails on adventure bikes before this and somehow the YT algorithm led me here lol. I live way off grid in the high desert mountains, my 'commute' is half steep, twisty dirt (or mud or snow lol) and half tight canyon carving. I hardly ever ride on non twisty paved roads in the first place never mind cruising down a highway in a pack. I have no desire to ride on the streets at all, i just want to jump over stuff, do wheelies and ride it like i stole it AND it owes me money. I don't stop riding to even pick up an 'ol' lady', never mind join a club. All that is like a whole different world from what i do, but it's still bikes and riding.
I just patched in a couple of months ago. At the last meeting, I had to drive my car. Everyone was surprised I had a car. I am definitely the bike guy.
I do like to ride with friends and by myself. Two different mind sets. With friends it is all about the brotherhood. Don't get me wrong I ride with some ladies who can kill it too. But it is the brotherhood of the bike and road when I say that. Race, sex goes out the window. By myself is to push shit as hard as I can and yes sometimes you go over that line. But I have never crashed with a passenger or in a group always alone. Love the ride
I am definitely a introvert. I was an original member of a mc in North Chicago 79-89 gave 10 years, and life took me in a different direction. It took me a long time to break the old habits. I can definitely relate.
My Club's one rule "Don't bring heat on the Colors". Of course we had our hierarchy but I didn't care about that. I was about the Brotherhood of the Club and Riding! Very early on I learned how petty some clubs can be and I didn't want anything to do with that. Thanks for posting, Good Stuff!
#Ghostin I feel like I’m #8 if I had to pick one from this list. Wasn’t so keen on joining a club when I was approached, but after a lot of thought, I decided to give it a shot. I grew up around MC and I’m on first name basis with officers of other clubs and I love the shocked look from my own brothers when we’re somewhere and they see a few patches walking over in our direction. Then the weird confusion when it’s a bear hug and a “how the hell have you been kid?!”
I was told I wouldn't fit in because all I did was Wrenching ,Building, and Riding. Not all clubs are the same, and those guys might have been right, for them.
My uncle was the motorcycle guy. He was a Heathen and the Heather's joined with the Pagans. He just wanted to ride. But at the same time he fought for and with his brothers. The late 60s early 70s, from what I heard, was a crazy time. The beginning of all this shit.
I didn't have a name for it until you said it, I'm a Bike Guy. No club, but definitely a Bike Guy. Bike Guys are to motorcycling what Bob Ross was to painting. No pressures, no problems, no stress, just the road... According to my calculations the problem doesn't exist.
Hey Sose! Great video, very true about the types of men found within the club life. I'm of the motorsickle guy category....I truly believe its all about the riding and the brothers out on the road and keeping the patch all about riding and showing real brotherhood. Take care Sose....shiny side up!
billboard guys 🤣🤣🤣 my wife's fam stressing having to borrow my clothes for court because he didn't own any clothes that weren't club related and was trying to swerve a charge.
I’ve been riding for 55yr’s I was the president of United Arms Organization for a while got sick and wanted leadership to a brother named Samson, He fell into the leadership position so well. Thank God for my Brother.
Man.. going though your other vids I don’t think I’m cut out for club life… But IF I was to make it.. I think I’d be the bike guy. I honestly just wanna ride with my friends and have a good time. I don’t wanna trip about politics or rules or beef with such and such. Man I can’t thank you enough for your content. Super eye opening and really helpful.
I grew up around the club and I’m 53 now. I think at this point, and really always have been, the rider. Love my brothers and love the open road. Long time no talk Sose, hope all is well brother
Right when you said life of the party I thought of my best friend. He definitely fit into your description perfectly. It struck a nerve. Unfortunately he passed a couple of years ago and there's a spark missing in all our lives now since he's been gone. I swear there were so many people at his funeral you'd think a celebrity passed away. Well he was a celebrity to us. I miss my brother.
I have to say I’m the bike guy. I never understood all the politics. I just wanted to ride. We all came for our own reasons but the bikes and the ride are why we are there. Once that is gone the reason is gone.
You describe the members and the culture so well. Wouldn't agree with your interpretation of a NOMAD but I understand your position. I'm an OG guy but my heart is with the Rider dude. It really is about the ride. Two wheels and the brotherhood is why we are in.
If I’m being honest, I’ve been all of those types at one time or another (except the elder) As I’ve grown and learned, I dropped the cancer and politician along the way. I was fortunate to have some elders teach me what was right along the way. At 56, my main goal now is to become that elder who helps and teaches the younger members. My desire to model for and teach them keeps my actions in check. If you’re in a position where guys are looking up to you, make damn sure you’re teaching them what’s right.
I'm not in a club but that description of the motorcycle guy pretty much describes me. I just want to ride. Currently got a couple projects I'm working on just so I can get back out there on the road.
I’m a cross between the bike guy and the life of the party. I am constantly joking around and flipping my brothers shit making them laugh, yet I’m the first one asking who wants to go for a ride as much as possible!
Checking in from The Bronx, NY, its always an eye opening view into the MC world in all of your videos and your insight Sose! If someone was looking to see if they have what it takes to run in that 1% way of life, your words are like the bible of protocol. Your advice not only with club life but in the everyday life. When you speak, you’re direct and intelligent in your viewpoints and your advice is dead nuts on the money! In this world everything is about respect given, and respect earned!
In my mc, I'm the friendly guy who is always making connections and networking as well as supporting set members' businesses when I can, especially if they're a regular client of mine.
I the bike guy. Being riding over 25 years. Few years ago i pulled into a petrol station and few of my best Friends were there. Shocked when I pulled in a van. Didnt realise I could drive as i d always ridden a bike. 😅😅😂
I’m a mixture of a nomad and the rider. I keep to myself at times… I do talk to people when iv gotten to know you. I also don’t care for all the politics and bs I just want to ride and enjoy life
Bx bro, I am the nomad bike guy. Never got into it enough to get a cut. It’s not my style. Don’t like to be told where to go and what to do. Now at 56 I’ve been around awhile and don’t regret getting caught up. Much respect to the OG”s out there who did there time and keep there clubs together. The youngsters need to seek them out. They know everything.
I was the Nomad, actually a Nomad. Was hard being that way, I finally stepped away as I was not bringing anything to the table other then monthly communication and trying to assist prospect education from a far. Would have helped if I wasn't a nomad I believe I could have pulled out of it and at least be the bike guy lol.
The Wizard: Bike running a little funny or making a sound? The Wizard will mutter archane incantations before correctly Diagnosing the issue with a tale about this one time back in the 90s that...
At 19 I lived in Daytona Beach. Loved the life of what I learned and experienced. Was tested at Froggys. Passed the test. Sad thing is? Due to severe seizure disorder, I cannot ride or drive a cage. But that really did not matter to these brothers I met. Sure I could not prospect or patch cause I could not riide, but I had the honor of being able to hang and even do things with them. I also worked in bands all around NH and VT where we played in clubs and campgrounds. Never in my time of doing it for years did I have a problem with the brothers who ran them or were there. My biggest wish has always been that I had not been born with this seizure problem so I could ride. As a kid I could ride a bicycle, and it was my schwinn low-rider with ape hangers and spring front. Loved riding on it and people called me insane when they saw me doing all kinds of wild shit with it. Even knocked out my front teeth on the crossbar doing a jack wheelie and came down face first on the bar when I hit a heave in road and lost control. The only people who have ever treated me real, with any kind of real respect and brotherhood have been MC's brothers and sisters. Never had that with normies. I may never be able to ride, or patch in any club in this life I've been handed, but I will always give respect to the brothethood. Ride in the wind, ride free.
I'm computer illiterate, but I can say one thing , I love to ride motorcycles! I'm not a club member but have known many, mostly bandits, all good people, any how I'm the guy who would be like, let's go get in the road! Rain, or shine, hot or freezing, if it's running then get on it, every thing else is secondary!
Also let me say, I'm a huge fan of brother -hood, the real kind, not the fake kind, the brothers I knew and respected are probably few and far between.
I have dreamed of being a member of a certain MC since I was 8 years old. I never went for it because i don’t like riding in a group. I just don’t trust riding in a pack.
Your cool ass and your editorials a fantastic and your spot on videos tells it straight up how it is which is good no fluff and puff it’s good to get a heads up especially for people who have never been in that position before thank you for your videos keep bringing them out! You’re very talented man!
Getting to know club members, I'm always getting new clients from members of different clubs passing my name around and on the flip side, I know members of different clubs who I can go to for a paint job, a guy on the set who hand makes different types of bike accessories, auto mechanics, diesel mechanics, the grill master(he was on a Netflix grilling competition), the golfers...people who are connected to any and everything that will improve your quality of life.
Life of the party or the bike guy. You'd have to ask the fellas but in my opinion its one of the 2. Great eye opener and we have had 1 of each that you listed in our group. Had to cut the cancer out like you suggested.
I’m divergent… and Pres. Maybe I am the Elder. A little politician, a little bike guy, a little bit image guy… because i want these mofos in proper riding order. Lol.
Life of the Party. Everyone smiles when I arrive. Almost everyone... Seriousness runs when I come thru. Also buys time for the big homies to handle business while I distract
I'm an introvert, mainly because I grew up alone, in the mean streets of SC Los Angeles, and struggle to find bs convos to strike up. But, will take your advice on that one.
