I kinda started something like that in my "War Story Wednesday" video. It didn't perform well so I kind of put it on the back burner. But if you think there's a want for it, maybe I can restart it. Thanks for always being there.
‘It’s for bragging rights’. Never heard that before. Good 👍 information. Given the first story though it frustrates me to no end that so many people accept the idea that the 1% clubs have the right to beat you up if you don’t do what they like. I think your story also should dispel the idea that ‘if you leave them alone they will leave you alone’. I think it would be better said ‘if you leave them alone they might leave you alone unless they see something you have or something you can do that they want’. I really wish we as a motorcycle community would collectively put our foot down and say ‘you want to be outlaws, fine, but you’re not welcome among those who just want to ride’. Instead we idolize and emulate them.
Breandan - unfortunately some do blindly follow others. I try to keep an open mind to most people but I agree, the very second someone tries to tell me how, what, where I’m going to do I have to push back. If you haven’t already watched it, I’ll suggest taking a look at my video “Brotherhood the Big Lie”. Thanks for tuning in and contributing to the information. Safe safe and I’ll see ya down the road.
You know, it's funny. Whenever the 1%rs (one of the Big 5, depending on who you ask) were at the local, which was most of the time, there were always guys trying to look or act tough to get their attention and probably wishing to be recruited. To the best of my knowledge none of them ever were. Then there is me. I call myself a 2%r lol. I never tried to gain anyone's attention. I didn't even want to. I was content as I was. But I was fundamentally different than the guys acting tough. I handled my business.The only attention I wanted was from the ladies. One night I was in a different local, which was pretty much a speed bar. I don't like speed, I was just there to hang out. There was a guy from the 1%r club there who I vaguely knew. But he knew me, or he thought he did, because when I went outside to get some air he followed me out. I was sitting on my bike and we made a little small talk and then he invited me to start going to their clubhouse. And I said no. I declined. Fortunately they respected my decision and they were always friendly to me. I even got a couple of bear hugs when I was going through detox. They would always ask how I was. Why did I find it funny? Because all of those guys who wanted to be invited to the club never were, and I, who didn't want to go, was invited. And that's what I find funny.
Oh man, I love Tennessee apple pie but I haven't seen any for years. Yes sir, our club got too much attention too fast because we we're new and had the best club house in the area. Other clubs became jealous and wanted us to join them (in part, so they could use our house). We had to make a decision about becoming a support club so we could be "under their umbrella" of protection. The club voted to become a support club for the local 1%ers so I left. I miss some of that life however. You speak the truth and this is a great place for people thinking about joining "the club life".
Sounds like we've traveled some of the same roads buddy. I appreciate the kind words words and you ALWAYS get nothing but the truth here. Ride safe and I'll see ya down the road.
an old mafia guy told me crime definitely does not pay anymore. they got microphones on street lights and these microphones will tell the police where in the area the fire was shot and the caliber of the weapon. camera scanners on police vehicles that scan hundreds of plates a minute while driving. and an old friend who is a defense attorney told me, almost no one will do over 10 years in prison for anyone. the first couple of minutes is what biking and brotherhood should be about. i tell guys just drop the patch and just ride. you can get a club house, and do all the stuff clubs do just dont advertise it. pretty soon it will all end up coming to that anyways
Lotsa pussies get bikes, and for their first ride they are sure to get doorags, shorty gloves, engineer boots, a bunch of shit to hang off of their belts. Same day they call everybody Bro. Non-stop masquerade ball for dorks.
This is the first video of yours I've seen and I've got to say, good shit man. This is the kind of shit I've always been curious about but my immediate family who used to belong to 1% clubs never really talked about that aspect.
Great content. I was just get ready to ask you about Waco, before you addressed it. I would like for you to cover that in more detail, and you may have in earlier videos. Has that case closed for all involved?
What's up bro like your content.Ive been around big bri since I was 10 I'm 49.I ride independent from PHILLY.changed my life and coach kids.Clubs are quantity over quality these days.Stay up stay sturdy and GOD BLESS.💪🙏
Thanks for commenting. Yeah the older we get the wiser. I’ll be in Philly this spring for the filming of a TV series ( I’ve been hired as technical advisor). I might have to ask ya where the good spots to eat are. Lol. Again thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe and I’ll see ya down the road.
I partied for years in Key West with bikers during bike week. Some of the best people and funnest days ive ever been part of. Then i moved to Indiana and was friends with 1% crazy bikers. Absolutely insane. They treated me good, but i hair was up on my neck all the time. And i wasnt a biker. I was a partier that was fun with the women. Their are good people and bad people everywhere in everything. Bad people join outlaw gangs. Good guys ride and party living free!! Theirs a difference. Great video. Im glad you survived. That was wild. At least with the 1% gangs they try to follow a man code. Thats more than most
Slim.. not everyone in 1%er clubs are bad people, that’s like saying all cops are good people…. SMH… this isn’t the 60s-90s these bad people have jobs and families. Gangs are what the cops label us, we fight that stereotype every day. If you think your government and law enforcement isn’t “gangs” you live under a rock. They are taking your rights from you, not the bad people in the 1%er clubs. Clubs don’t work the same way these days.
@@FingersFew how long ago was this war your talking about? You should be talking about all the hard work that goes into keeping peace. Speaking on Waco… they blame the clubs but most of the dead had precision wounds. Last time I checked it’s hard to carry that kind of gear on bikes. As you said poor leadership in law enforcement. They do it daily, they do it to civilians, they don’t think they work for the people anymore, starts at the top and trickles down. Seems you missed the whole point of click 1%er talking about the clubhouse always having people in it, the brotherhood was never stronger. The brother didn’t talk about loving blowing buildings and people up? Didn’t talk about shooting people off their bikes? He just talked about his club being closer. No one wants war, no one wants to lose their brother, didn’t you learn about the CoC and the NCoC in your time in a club. Send your subscribers to google what the NCOC is and what they do. You should know not to call out club names and member names. You could get people targeted. You should know what that’s called… Here’s the facts… we are In one lane, 99%ers are in their lane, independents are in their lane, cops are in their lane. If everyone would stay in their lane, those lanes flow, people start crossing over like they are, one pretending to be this and that and getting people killed are causing traffic jams. (See no name dropping) I see so much shit posted by the public about clubs, & 1%ers and none of them know anything about what they are spreading. If they were properly educated they would have different opinions. Check out the video where good men, good firefighters were fired because they wore a patch. Regardless of club name or the patch they wear, does it make them unfit to carry your wife or child out of a burning building? This is why we are against society’s rules, take a look at who makes those rules.
@@reaper1er423 - this was 2001-2003. While I agree with some of what you say, I’m just putting things out there from my perspective at the time. I do use club names and I do so with a purpose. The members names I use are either members who have died or are no longer in the club world. I know the MC guys would like nothing short of me saying it’s all rainbows and coolness but that’s not the truth. You can believe me or not, but I have no ill will towards clubs or bikers in general. Some are stand up people and some, not so much. Just like in any walk of life. As for making societal rules, I think we’ll agree to disagree. The 1%ers are the ones who came up with and enforce communists type rules in the biker world. “You’re not allowed to wear those colors in this area”, “you need a blessing from us to start a club”. Clubs have called law enforcement tyrannical forever while conducting tyrannical activities to others. So I respectfully call bullshit. As for the COC I first hand witnessed Big Pete (no longer a member) shake down smaller clubs for money. I’ll admit that I’m not sure if it was going in his pocket or the clubs but I do know who the checks were written out to. In fact I think I still have all that paperwork somewhere. Reaper, you have come at me with respect and I’m trying to return that respect. I won’t lie to my viewers and yes there’s plenty of topics I can and possibly will cover in the future. Hell, my last vid was about dirty cops. Thanks for watching and commenting in a fashion that a true 1%er would do.
I feel that if the PD would’ve put a couple of squad cars with some uniform guys parked out front of that restaurant nothing would’ve happened in Texas.
You may be correct. I personally would of shown a strength in power and had a small SWAT unit in full kit there to welcome both clubs. Visible cameras, marked units, a point contact officer and more in stand by if needed. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Fingers....I feel like you and me would hit it off on a whole nother level.. I,too,am a former LEO who found a home of sorts "on the dark side of the moon" so to speak. I've always had a love of David Mann , EasyRider magazines as a 16 yr old kid..long before I became an officer for several agencies... I too found disillusionment with this chosen law enforcement profession and found solace in the MC Club life while goin through the rigors of divorce etc etc ......I too also one the tug of war and the push pull between these two worlds while trying to carve out a niche for myself without giving up entirely either of these two seemingly disparate identities.... I appreciate you bro...I too fell away from participating in the MC circuit..... I know you understand the language in between the lines... Peace and respect... Be careful out there.
Hey brother, thanks for reaching out and taking the time to check out the video. Sounds like we definitely share some of the same background. i understood your post to the fullest. I'll be in Sturgis this year so if ya happen to make that trip I'll buy ya a round of drinks. Ride safe and I'll see ya down the road.
Good on you. You now found a fellow idiot. Got divorced, intimidating people,bashing etc. Shame on you. Seek forgiveness from God and live your life helping.
Great Video !!! Period !!! And The Very First Response Are Sooo True To Life U Couldn’t ASK For Anything Better !! Serious Respects And All Graces!! B !!! 😉😋🇺🇸🔥💥🧨🔪💯
This is one of the reasons I steer clear of the club scene. I have picked up a couple of stickers and shirts from the alpha club in my area to show a little support for the club family members are members of but I don't even sport those publicly. I don't even get involved with RC's or hang in biker hotspots, just not my scene. Thought about a local club for vloggers or something like that at one point but not even worth it for a patch when we can do the same thing in groups and dual/multi vlogs without the hassle of getting the club approved and dealing with the headache.
Putting on a patch can get serious. Sounds like you did your research and came up with what works for you. That’s exactly what everyone needs to do before jumping into something that can be life altering. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe and I’ll see ya down the road.
@@FingersFew I grew up across the street from one of the bigger, but not big 4, 1% clubs here in Michigan. We were always tight with those guys and had each other's backs as we were in an absolutely nasty area of town. I know what the inside looks like and had several offers to join. Knew it wasn't my scene even back then to join, but I still see some of those guys to this day and even the newer guys know who I am from being that punk kid with the mohawk 25 years ago that was tight with the now deceased national president of the mother club.
Some won’t get it. Many misunderstand and then there are those who seek the truth no matter how painful. Thanks for the support for the channel. Ride safe and I’ll see ya down the road.
Not to call an MC out. But the HA was based off an air force squad. None of what you're saying is surprising nor unexpected. The good thing I can say bout any MC is that they ARE focused on other MCs and not civilians.
Roy, that's mostly true. Unfortunately people like Cynthia Garcia (AZ) didn't belong to any club. I could list numerous more but I degress and will say that most civilians that were killed, raped or victimized by clubs were victims of rogue members and not a shot called by the club. (Most of the time) However, when clubs start planting bombs that take out mass areas, I'm thinking they're not worried about innocent people.
Atleast one person in the comment section is intelligent. Cops don't get to do tutorial videos on outlaw shit. Looks like your mid life chased you into your later life.
It's a real shame that this has become part of the 'motorcycling community. But like all good things, someone is always determined to ruin it. Why? Power? Respect? Money? Personally I'd rather ride alone than ride with Bullies and Ass Holes.
That 1%er Life ain’t for everyone. You always get the approval from your Dominant before flying colors. Do whatever it’s a free country, but you better be prepared to deal with the consequences.
