8 Types Of Motorcycle Club Members YOU WILL MEET!!👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLxjg7Krq6u4hWw.html&ab_channel=DemonsRow

I'm a 35 year solo rider. I mind my business, I don't try to look like or imitate a club member, I don't try to hang around clubs members. So far, no problems.

When I was 18 I was really interested in an MC. Now, in my 50ies, I just find it childish when grown men act like kindergarden..

I’m part of an NL based old-school MC that is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. No vests, no patches, no ranking (outside of a voluntary board to arrange necessary things like paperwork and annual events) and no bullshit about what brand of bike you ride, just as long as you ride. Still love it after 35+ years.

This is my problem with outlaw clubs. Outlaw clubs: "let's be outlaws and let's not follow any rules or laws" also outlaw clubs" here's a bunch of rules that everyone that isn't us to follow"

I’ll save you 15 min. It’s because outlaw motorcycle gangs demand respect without giving any.

63 y.o. veteran biker. Done the club thing. It's nothing more than a safe haven for cowards. Real men ride alone. Children need gang support.

I am a 45 year old solo rider, have been riding my whole adult life. No club owns the road and no club has the right to tell me I can't pass on a public road. Also, if you are going to be a solo rider, don't present yourself as a club rider. I don't where a cut or club patches and no one bothers me. They just like to think they are better then other riders, period. It's a PUBLIC road, shut the f*ck up, leave the rest of us alone, mind your own damn business and ride. End of discussion.

I'm 65 and noticed that meeting a 1% who's alone can be different than when they are with the rest of the club.

I don’t hate MCs. I just don’t care. Motorcycle to me is all about freedom. Some dude telling me what to do, where to go, who to fight, what "rules" to follow, etc. is the exact opposite. You wanna play your roles? Fine. But I will never comply by your rules or expectations. They’re yours, not mine.

Every month is pride month for biker gangs. Matching outfits… so flamboyant. Cartman said it best.

Respect all who ride. Respect is earned, not demanded.

Not for me... Too many rules. Too much extra BS to add to your life to enjoy a party here and there.

Bunch of kids that never grew up. Come here buddy I’ll give you a hug

Many years ago, after my parents got divorced, we moved into a neighborhood where a diamond club chapter/charter clubhouse was. A lot of the members lived in and around that neighborhood. My mom ended up dating and almost married one of the members. He more or less took me under his wing kinda like a mentor/dad. Over that couple of years, he taught me about the MC life and, more importantly, why I shouldn't get into it. Most of the kids I was around during that time all wanted to become members. Then some stuff happened in another chapter/charter down south of us, and a bunch of members got sent up the road, including my moms boyfriend. We lost our home, car (civil forfeiture), and had to move in with my grandmother. That was an eye-opening experience, and I knew then that the 1% MC life wasn't for me. Thanks for hearing a little of my story/experience.

Everyone in a gang has a uterus.

Southpark did a great episode about them.

True story... A group of offshore paramedics ( guys that worked on oil rigs and deep water drilling ships ) we liked riding together on the weekend and would always carry medical supplies and offer aid to fellow motorists. Most of us were veterans so we showed up to support VFW outdoor events and some of us did stuff with bikers against child abuse and the freedom riders and other veteran groups... We eventually decided on a top rocker that said Bad Medicine, The main patch was a skull and crossbones with our texas paramedic and national registry paramedic patch to the left and right. The bottom rocker said either Paramedic, Nurse, EMT or First responder as we got a variety of medical trained folks riding with us. We also had the MC patch. One of our "members" was cornered and threatened by a feeder club for the Banditos saying we needed to meet with them and get permission to wear our patch and rockers. Apparently this OUTLAW motorcycle gang that is on the FBIs list of recognized organized criminals thought it had the authority to control what people wear while acting as good samaratins on motorcycles. The RED rocker and skull patch was chosen to match the red texas paramedic patches all of the founding members wore. This was so we could be easily identified as first responders so we could help people. We even had wannabe bikers that werent with outlaw clubs lecture us on how we needed permission to wear even a top rocker... Me and the guy I started it with were both combat veterans and we felt we paid the price to have the right to wear whatever we wanted in a free country. After over a year of giving free medical aid to motorists, and at biker events ( paramedics in texas have a legal duty to act when they see a crash on or off duty ) we got sick of the politics and harassment... we tossed our vests on a bonfire at a freedom riders event and left. Now I live retired in thailand. I have a three wheel, goofy little electric scooter and couldnt be happier. I will never own another motorcycle or even associate with anyone who does. Its simply not worth the hassle.

As a member of a veterans club. We have never had a problem with MC clubs. And we have been invited to ride with some of these clubs. We, as veterans, have been asked to ride with clubs whom veterans have passed away in their club. We never refuse an invite to ride with our fallen brothers.

I’m a motorcyclist and I can tell you that these people don’t represent me.

I have one rule in life: If you're ordering this grown adult around, you'd better be the one who's paying my wages.

I once was surrounded by three prospects in my bar. I played music there once a month and knew the owner. If they want to claim territory they were in MY bar. It was MY bar before they decided to move in. And yet because my vest had patches (non of which were 1% related) they decided they wanted to let me know I was in their space. I’m just tired of people who want to be bullies getting into clubs so they have back up when they want to pick

I appreciate you always being balanced in your approach . The ability to understand both positions and be able to express those thoughts seems to be rare these days! Keep Up the GREAT work you doing we almost at our one 1 year anniversary! 😂😂😂

As a brand new rider that has no desire to join any club ever, this is still good to know.

I met a Mongol at a gas station here in South Texas, and I was respectful to him. He was super chill, and we just talked bikes and suspension setups. I get he's living a lifestyle and I just want to ride when I want where I want everyday. I get it, but at the end of the day it's just showing respect to another man.

40 years old here. Not always been on the easy side of the law. I cant stand clubs and actively avoid hanging out with anyone in one. I will wear what I want, pass who I want and I don't need 10 other people on my side in a fist fight. Not all MCs and members are bad, but many members I see as chicken shits when alone.

I'm a lone wolf and U.S. Army combat veteran. I've gotten nothing but respect from all the MC members I've run across.

You seem like a genuine good dude who tries to understand what someone else is going through. It's a rare thing nowadays to walk a mile in someone elses shoes. Respect and I'm glad I subscribed, have a good one man

Sose, it is always such a pleasure watching you explain this mysterious lifestyle. You are a natural educator, teaching with patience and consideration. I do not understand how someone could take offense by your message, it is an exposition of something that many are curious about and you deliver your lessons with grace and dignity. Let no man come between you and using the platform you have to educate your audience.

I have been to many bike nights and bike rallies, and have been approached by mc’s told them I wasn’t interested, I haven’t had a problem, great video!

My mom and i just got our motorcycle licenses. Loving your channel. New subscriber now much love.

South Park needs to update their biker episode there’s so much rage bait in this community

They don't own the road

I passed an MC ride out one time and they caught up to me at the red light, the leader caught me and started kissing on my neck. Weird dudes

Good info man, I’ve been around clubs quite a bit so I understand it, but it’s good you’re making these videos so those who may not know can find out and understand as well.

Got my start in the late 60s,was taught by hardcore bikers as well as 1%ers of that time period that you worked on your own bike and rode.For me,finances dictated old used Triumphs.That is what I still ride and wrench on from basic maint to full rebuilds.Back then Triumphs were respected by HD guys.These days when some HD guy,MC or not,that takes his bike to the dealership for an oil change and plugs, tells me I'm not a "real biker" I just tell myself he doesn't know the history of the culture,and if he's a member of an MC I still show respect because at least he had the discipline to earn a patch.

I've passed MCs on the road several times. It's just a matter of making sure they know you're there. It only takes a couple of minutes riding behind and the guy in the back gives you the signal that it's okay. Those guys ride tight and close and if some yo-yo goes ripping by, it could startle someone and cause a very severe accident. Honestly, it's never been an issue for me. Just give them the "two fingers" when you pass and it's all good.

That's why everybody loves and appreciates you man right there

@DemonsRow I appreciate what you’re doing. I enjoy your videos and I respect your attitude and opinions on these topics.

As a biker of 35 years plus I don't hate MC's, I see them as inconsequential men who unite to feel relevant. Alone, they're nothing so why not join a gang of like-minded guys in order to bolster your courage facing life's challenges? The laws they have to abide by in these bike cults are laughable to independently minded men.

I appreciate you keeping it real and looking at things from all sides. Lotta things bikers get upset about as far as MC protocols and stuff doesn’t bother me. I get where they’re coming from, also get where some of those who proclaim freedom in all aspects are coming from as well. Im all for showing respect. I do it because it’s who I am as a man. If it’s not reciprocated, oh well. I know who I am as a man and have nothing to prove to anyone.

As a former member of a support club, I have seen everything you mentioned and it's saddening sometimes because egos get too big and it all goes to shit. Do I missed the parties and brotherhood? Sure do but I am loving the freedom I have now.

Thanks for sharing information and making me smart on the subject.

I appreciate this presentation because it comes from the heart. Riders look out for eachother better than most people on the road.

Your 1% of the good men who don’t abuse power you are fit for it good on you man 🤘

I have been riding over 55yrs, I was never in a club. Now I have been the leader of a group, we have been riding with some big clubs. We are not a MC we are a Gun Club who ride. We don’t look for trouble we have a Two part patch some of the young men in 1%clubs act as if we are a MC an feel some kind of threat, I don’t understand this BS we have veterans and kids who ride with us.

Much respect ! ❤ love your channel

I'm not a rider, I'm not in any mc but love bikes and hang out with riders and members in motorcycle bars. If you respect and they respect you everything will be good. Thank you for your wisdom. Love from Poland 🇵🇱 ♥️

Shit....15 years member in a national club, still active, and I hate MCs 😂😂😂

I spent 10 years in an MC (not a diamond club). At one of our runs when SoA was still cranking out fresh seasons I watched a RUB strut in to the poker stop like he owned the place. Didn't even hold the door for his lady. Stood around looking all bad-ass in his SoA patched vest. Some diamonds from a very violent club in our area didn't even talk to him. Just walked up, socked him and took his "cut". They very verbally made it clear he should leave immediately. He did. Again, not even checking on his woman, just making a bee-line out the door to his "custom" Harley and as soon as she was on the back he was fishtailing out of the parking lot. Normally I'm with you, let the guy wear his shit. But his attitude was far bigger than his common sense and you could tell he was a total D-Bag. So in that one case I was happy to see it go down that way.

First I gotta say thanks for representing the clubs that started in Australia & are now world wide. I grew up in Sydney & ever since I could hold on I’ve been on bikes & I was always taught to be respectful to anyone who wore a patch.

@Sosetheghost I love that you keep the outlook bakanced. I think the world would be a better place if more people looked at things as you do!

Done the group riding thing a few years ago. Some like a cage, some don't. I get the feeling that clublife is for folks that've been institutionalised in some way, ex cons, ex military, police, firefighters, orphans and suchlike. People who've spent a few years being told what to do and when to take a shit and now find it hard living without a big bag o rules and likeminded brothers.

I never had a problem with club members even when I first got on the road. My experience was respect goes a long way. My first encounter with a 1% was a positive one. I was on my bike and pulled into a rest area, there was a couple of bikers out there and I pulled in the spot next to them excited to see another rider. I nodded as I pulled in, I got off my bike and reached my hand out he looked down at my hand and said, I'm happy to shake your hand take off your sunglasses and gloves. Once I did he reached his hand out, he invited me over to a picnic table and gave me a friendly schooling while we all had some water and sodas. I never had a problem but I never gave attitude either.

I appreciate your honesty and keeping it real.

I've enjoyed watching your videos over the years. Thank you.

I was in a nasty motorcycle accident and now ride a Harley Freewheeler trike, i had about 20 H.A pull into a gas station behind me, the road cptn struck up a conversation with me, i told him why i was on 3 and he shook my hand and said just getting back on the road was amazing. My asshole was sooo puckered up when they pulled in but talk about the most chill guys ever

I'm at bike night almost every week at the local Harley, Outlaws are the dominate club out here, was standing there waiting for my patches to get sewn on by the guy that's always there (everyone goes through him for patches, an Outlaw needed a couple new patches because he went down and it messed up a patch but it was still attached to the vest that's why everyone, including Outlaws, use him) couple members of the Outlaws got in line behind me I noticed a memorial patch for someone I had just read about in the news who also happened to be a friend of a friend, I offered my condolences and we sat there talking about how good the man was that got killed on his bike (I had met him once or twice before he died) after that we were just BS'in about bikes and whatnot. Seen the same guy the other day he congratulated me on the 24 street glide I traded in my 09 softail for. The main thing people don't realize is guys in MC's are still people too, and at the end of the day whether you're a solo rider or MC member, we're all on 2 wheels.

I have been riding a little over a year and appreciate how you educate on MC culture. I did hang around with a large MC for a while before I ever bought my bike because there club house was next to my friends shop and they were really cool guys. They let me in there Christmas party and the President even told me I could join the club if I wanted to. Just not my thing but I have no problems with MCs. Now watching your videos I have a whole new understanding of the life style. Thank you.

GREAT CONTENT AND THANK YOU!!!

Ever doing another round of demons row rings?

The SOA cut is funny to me. If that show put that kid on 2 wheels so be it. I only laugh. It doesn't bother me.

I love to learn, thank you for your content.

Happy to you back T!!

I want to hear a vice versa about this subject

You are right. It's a free country and the kid has the right to wear the SOA vest.

I’m a sport bike rider…I don’t respect ANYONE who can’t keep up

This was one of the best videos! It has answered a lot of my questions! Thank you! When I am riding I just show and project respect! To all! I’ve never had a problem when chatting with any MC ! I do not want to be in a MC, I would love to see a video about, how people feel when riding in a big pack of bikes! If sober riding is mandatory no reefer no booze! One wrong move and it’s dominos!

I don't have any strong feelings one way or the other on clubs - on the one hand the idea of the brotherhood and earning stuff seems pretty good - on the other, the rules, mandatory events and yeah - the prospect period are a bit of a deterrent. I've been to a lot of "Get Yelled At And Do Pushups" schools in my life and I'm kind of done, but on the other hand I also get why you don't just want to let people in without knowing what they're about first. The thing about the patches and stuff is the same - I get not wanting someone wearing YOUR club name or YOUR patch, but the state rockers, and 1% stuff... ok. I mean, there's people with fake martial arts schools too, teaching BS and claiming it's BJJ or Tae Kwon Do or whatever and you don't see real instructors going over and beefing with them. Seems to me that if people - not just 1%s or Bikers but everyone - didn't assume what people are thinking and just laughed at them or ignored them there'd be less issues. Veterans have to do it all the time; actual stolen valor gets called out but I'm always hearing someone try to tell me about how the military works or what war is like because of what their dad or uncle or brother did but they never did it themselves. I just ignore them, or chuckle later - I don't need to beat them up even if I'm with other vets. I dunno why an SoA cut is disrespect - it's kind of silly, bro, unless the dude was actually Ron Pearlman but you handled it really well. If someone isn't actually doing something wrong like talking rude to you or your woman or your brother, or putting hands on you or your bike... it's probably not disrespect. Heck, the dude could have Asperger's and just not know! But, same token, I like it that MCs don't tolerate people actually acting the fool around them. I remember someone saying - may even have been you - that if your kid's bus stop is on the street where a clubhouse is, probably no one will ever bother those kids. It's good when men act like men even if they have to get a little rough now and then.

Awesome video as always. You should talk about Japan's Outlaw biker clubs, the Bosozoku. They are an interesting bunch and share lots of similarities with the american outlaw clubs.

Years ago I had to put my ride(78 Sportster) away. Still in mint condition, I just can't ride anymore. Anyway, I've never, EVER, had any problems with MCs on the road. In fact, once, back in the late 80s, I broke down. I managed to walk the bike under an overpass to keep cool. After about 45 minutes of frustration, a MC(Breed MC out of Jersey), with about 25 riders pulled up on me. After some chit chat, one of them was their mechanic, approached and nicely asked me if he could look at the bike. I agreed. 10 minutes later, he had my bike running. He even adjusted my carburetor and fine tuned it!! Also, while waiting, one of their girls gave me a nice cold drink. Also, they would not accept any money from me. And let me ride with them all the way to Ohio, where I got off(They were going to Sturgis). Moral of the story: Bikers are people too. You give them respect, you'll get respect.

Back in my riding days, I've been pulled into more than one 1% ride while out and about. The parties at the end were pretty epic too. I don't know if the attitudes were different then or what.

Greetings all, I know my experiences are not from the USA, but the UK and more recently Australia. Years ago when we lived in the UK, I was ex military and knew a few MC bikers quite well, and one of my wife’s friends was married to the president of a big MC. I have ridden bikes all my life, longer than a lot of the MC, but was never really viewed by the MC as being a “Real” biker because I didn’t ride a chopper. Most MC guys are pretty cool people individually, but acted differently in a larger group, generally being aggressive dickheads. They obviously felt they had to for whatever reasons due to the club mentality. In the UK, MC’s didn’t stop you from overtaking, would acknowledge you on the road etc without the egotistical bullshit and there was never any trouble, as long as you didn’t behave like an arsehole yourself. I emigrated to Australia in 2009, and almost straight away, met a biker organisation (not MC) called the Ulysses Club. They wouldn’t even talk to us at the pub and looked at us like we were a piece of shit, a right bunch of arrogant pricks who were nothing special and is just a club for over 40’s bikers. A bit of a ramble I know, but these reasons I have never joined a bike club of any description. I am secure and confident in my own reasons why I am a proper biker who has always loved to ride and don’t feel less for not being a club member. I am my own man, a biker who likes to cut loose and not conform to bullshit. Long live all who ride, and grow old disgracefully but with respect to all.

Clubs are for kids. I’m good solo.

Love your content my guy

Great video. Appreciate it

I have discovered that complimenting a biker on how cool their ride is (along with respect) goes a long way to creating a positive interaction with club members...

Hey Bubba did you hear about that Polk County Sheriff Grady judge disrespected to Montrose color and jacket on national TV that sheriff don't care he's after any and every motorcycle group he can get

I'm not a biker but I do understand the problems that comes with joining any club so there is reasons why I don't join clubs for the things I like to do.

This is probably the best video I've seen from you showing the differences in Attitude towards club members and non-club members. I have yet to have a good experience with full patched club members of any club. But if I ever wanted and (this is all hypothetical because I don't even ride to be in a club) I probably want to join yours man. You seem like the type to want to educate a potential club member. Focus less on hazy and mistreating a potential brother and more about building them up equipping them with the right tools and knowledge that's what it's about.

Too bad, and true they don't own the road

I’m considering a bike. Your content is really helpful. I’m not the MC type, but greet folks when I meet them. Fortunately, it’s all been positive. Most seem glad that some “straight” considers them equal as men and shows courtesy and respect.

Lol *You guys and your "Club" remind me of a Tracy Chapman song where it says "I had a feeling that i belonged a feeling i could be someone"* :D

Total respect for bikers. I was born on a military base. I went to ARMY military schools. I joined the military when I was 17 years old(ARMY/Special Forces). I served my time. All I want is my freedom to go where I want, when I want. No more rules for me.

I’m in a motorcycle association, not an MC. I’ve gotten along fine with Pistoleros, Bandidos, Saints and others. My most egregious offense was blasting by about a 20 rider deep group of Saints at about double their speed. A stoplight caught us and I apologized to the ride captain, introduced myself, what chapter I was in and offered my SAA’s contact info if I needed to make it right. He told me that just having the balls to apologize and offer a further conversation was good enough. Told him I’d wait for them to roll and apologize to the tail gunner too. We fist bumped, I apologized to the TG and we parted ways like adults. A lot of the folks in my MA are afraid to talk to the MC guys for some reason. I’ll hang around if I think nobody in my MA has introduced themselves and wait to be spoken to, ask if anyone from my MA has introduced themselves and I’ll introduce myself either way. No gloves, no hat, no sunglasses, firm handshake and eye contact while speaking. It’s an easy day and we can all hang out at the same establishment without any issues.

YOu can see why, Non club biker, wants to just ride and enjoy a weekend of good weather on 2 wheels and chill out. cue all this kind of stuff, tense bars, events, all manner of random protocol and whole extra sets of rules, in detail and people who ego is fragile over some minor thing. Its not exactly selling the idea Clubs and especially the ones that claim to the Elite, are at all worth their own word. I mean these clubs started out as rebels now they have whole mapped territory, multi national business set ups, lawyers for trademarks, and more. their about established as a columaded building in white stone.

67 year old veteran. Had a stroke 6.5 years ago and had to give up my 10 year old Goldwing that I had put 250K miles on since it was new. The respect for older riders of metrics was/is sometimes lacking, but now that I have gone to three wheels (and god forbid that it is a Slingshot for the comfort of my wife and I) it is even less. A Slingshot, Vanderhall, and other non-traditional three wheeled vehicles are options for those of us that just want to ride and not be judged for the choices that we had to make as we get older. Sometimes two wheels are not enough or are a physical impossibility given our health issues.

This is (in my opinion) your most informative video. Nice work

Bottom line is don't try to be something you're not. I've been solo riding for 25 years and never tried to pretend I was in a club or wore any patches that I didn't earn. I'm ex-military too, so I know how serious stolen valor is and that's what wearing an unearned patch is.

It just seems like grown men should move beyond clubs in the natural progression of becoming a man - God, family and work should be the priorities. MC/RC should be a distant 4th or 5th at best.

I was riding in the early 80s. 1MC club. At my Hometown. We all knew each other. We never had any problems with him. We were all friends. We got along. Even at the same bars. We just have good times together. We respected them and they respected us.

#GHOSTIN , Good information . Keep bringing it ,got to educate us citizens on the biker community .

DRIVING OR RIDING A BIKE IS A PRIVILEGE & REMEMBER IT'S NOT A RIGHT REGARDLESS, HAVE A GOOD DRIVING OR RIDING PRACTISES FOR OTHERS WHO ARE UNEDUCATED IGNORANT WHO NOT CARE & NOT WANT RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR OWN ACTIONS ON THE ROAD

Got my first bike at 19, a 1960s cafe racer (built from my garage). Got my 1st HD at 26, a rigid shovelhead bobber. I’m 43 now, ride a FLH bagger and love it. Never joined a club or patched-up, but respect them cats. I’m good with any bikes on the road. ✊🏽✌🏽From So-Cal USA🇺🇸

"Playing house" Some real stuff. Your content gets better and better Sose. #Ghostin. ( I need to swoop up more Demons Row merch)

This was your best episode yet. More please.

Also, I have a lot of respect for you for what you said about the SofA vest. Nobody trying disrespect a real MC would wear a TV show vest they got on Amazon.

Idk ab anyone else but im tryna join yalls club. Looks dope af. I seen a couple of your shorts too with how you move and I like that a lot. 💯💯

This is why I parked my bike and haven't ridden it in 5 years! I worked in high level politics for 20 years. When I walked away I just wanted to ride! Alone! No vest! No patches! Just me and my bike! What I found was there was more politics in riding than there was in actual politics!

All I want is a calm day, good friend or friends, and a long road to ride. That’s what makes me happy.
