Ya hang out and go to runs and ride with your buddies and treat everyone with the utmost respect and also try to distance yourself from idiots. You get as good as you give in life and that's pretty much how it works. I personally don't belong to a 1% organization.



I belong to the American Legion and Legion Riders and that takes all of my time. It's on the up and up and it keeps me honest and fulfilled as a person. I like to dedicate myself to my veteran brothers and helping them out. I do cross paths with various clubs and we keep on good terms with most everyone. Life is too short to be making enemies and going places you are not committed to.

To much politics for me in the clubs. Seemed like all they ever did was ride to area meetings hosted by the Banditos, or ride to the club to have a meeting, or ride to a bar where a party was hosted by a club. I got a motorcycle to ride. To RIDE. I don't want a destination. I don't want a schedule.



I don't want to be in a line, in my spot, doing someone elses speed. You might as well just rent a damn bus at that point. I ride for the freedom of riding, so why would I want to be in a MC with all the rules for everything I do? Seems people just get in the clubs these days so they have the bragging rights to say "I got a cut" and wear as much "Harley" gear as possible. Sorry, I don't get it...

A guy buys his first Harley and next thing you know he gets curious about joining an MC. After a season or two of Son's of Anarchy and a pinch of the Laughing Devil's reality show and their balls swell up. If you need a tutorial on how to become a brother in a 1% MC you should stop at that and don't even think about joining a club again. Depending on the MC or chapter, etc. you will be greeted with anything from laughter to near death experience. 1% MC's are serious business.


No, they aren't what you see on the Discovery channel. I would venture to say that alot of dudes are born and raised to be able to fit in. A bike doesn't make you a biker as much as a horse makes you a cowboy. If you are a person who stands out and can represent a club, follow the rules and would take a bullet for your brother than most times you will get introduced and invited. I was in a support MC for our territory's 1% MC. When the boss says ride, you ride. Nuff said.

The media try to convince the masses that all bikers of all MC's are murderers, drug dealers, rapists and thieves. The push an incident involving one or two members and demonized the entire club. Why is it when a cop ****s that they do their best to maintain the integrity of the entire police department? 1% don't stand for that. It's fair it's good and it's about brotherhood and respect. I'm no longer with any club. I was offered to prospect a number of times for our 1% MC we supported.

I told them that I couldn't do it and that I just didn't pack the gear to patch over. I've heard stories where people joined because they had no choice. In my case I was respected for being honest and for not having the fear to admit it. You only get what you give. Good luck out there newbies.

First, you need to OWN your bike, second, you need to know someone to invite you. You can't just show up! If you get put on a tag along list then you WILL sign your bike over, period.



If you get on the prospect list then you will pay dues and that is up to the secretary and can range from 10% to 25% or more of your income. At anytime you can be asked to leave and that includes not with your bike, it's very possible they will keep it if it's nice enough and you're a tool. YOU MUST BE MECHANICALLY INCLINED! You will be working on bikes and it must run when you're done. You must be ready to roll at anytime day or night and you may be going across country just to get a burger for your sponsor. Lastly, they will only pick guys that have something to offer or a skill that is useful.

And also, your ol lady isn't safe...... Captain can call at 130am and your wife, girlfriend, sister will be bent over taking it in the ass and then passed on to the luet and so on! I'm a legend and not in a club but let's just say, if you want to live life on the very edge everyday then go ahead but most people find out real quick they're not cut for this life

I would re-title this not to be for an "outlaw" motorcycle club, but for any serious M/C. The outline you provide is a great example of just how serious being a member of a real M/C should be. Becoming a brother should be a long and arduous process, as should leaving. You can't "choose" family and when you join an M/C you're becoming family -- that includes all the benefits, the detriments as well as that strange uncle who drinks a bit too much.
