I worked as a musician in the 80's and 90's. Lost count of the number of biker gigs we played at. Often in their clubs. My impressions are pretty much the same as yours. They tend to run along the same lines. They are brotherhoods, based upon their own type of honour and culture. Respect them, don't ask any questions, stay well clear of their business, enjoy their humour, generosity and company. Play the music they enjoy. After the show pack up and go home. And you'll be welcome back. They were better employers than many bar owners!

You got sone real balls, the bike gangs really are gangs and they will really go off on you, especially when liquor and speed gets involved.

Love these stories mate You have a talent for recounting things

Yes this is all standard fare for the top clubs - I know a couple of rock hard old school bikers who joined up in the early days - but were so disgusted by the immoral behaviour that they soon left. Proper outlaws - wouldn't conform or follow the herd. Good mates with the man who started the first UK chapter back in the late 60's. Great channel brother - thanks for the fantastic content 👍

Been riding bikes for 36 years and had thought about getting into a club but then realised you just don't need all the rules because at the time there was still a few rockers on bikes.

Interesting stuff and I totally believe you, ignore the doubters they do not understand how the world works because they obviously haven't seen much of it.

I’m a security guard and have been for 14 years. I found with biker clubs that I didn’t really have much to worry about. They seemed to be concerned to a point about they’re public image and as for they’re rules they weren’t even allowed outside the venue for a cigarette. Maybe I’m just from a different era.

Read Sonny Barger’s book on the Hells Angels if you want to learn more about the 1% clubs General rules and their origins. I’ve been a biker since 1980 and am a lone biker. But have come across my local chapter of the Hells Angels and another biker club in the past. As long as you respect a 1% club I’ve found they won’t bother you. I’ve also known a few bikers who were, or are, friends of the well known biker clubs (NOT gangs) and they are decent guys as long as you treat them with honesty and respect.

Which chapter?

Interesting stories and I don't think the biker scene in the UK is that much different than the U.S. You have to be careful if you are invited to a outlaw biker club's club house as if you aren't a patched member or prospect then you are expendable if you make a mistake like get in an argument with the first two. And unless you are a patch you are never really their friend as Gear Guy learned when he was trying to escort them outside during a fight.

I lived next door to a one percenter club for about ten years. One thing you have to always remember about these clubs is how much they love to talk Sh*t. Maybe one guy, one time had to wear piss pants but by and large prospects watch the bikes, get beer, sweep, pull weeds, take someone's old lady to the dentist, pull more weeds, etc. It also depends upon day of the week , how much dope or alcohol they have consumed and a host of other factors. Their 'rules' are like Calvin Ball. For instance the club next to me had a strict rule about no illegal BS around the clubhouse. They then started dealing crank with a woman who installed a train horn on her truck and set it off on me every time I worked in the garden. See how those rules change? Its funny people fear these people so much but I can honestly say I talked more Sh*t to this particular club than anyone in history and I can still walk by their clubhouse without fear . That's the other thing. Most clubs know not to start up with the general law abiding public. There are rules for member, other clubs and the general public all allegedly very distinct from one another.

The whole concept of the outlaw 1% biker gang is based on a con. They claim to be the 1% of the population that doesn't recognise authority or societal norms. The reality is that 1% isn't a baseline it's a limit. They limit their numbers through gruesome initiation ceremonies etc. If they were to include everyone who disdained authority there'd be so many that the government would be forced to take action and crush them. So they have to keep their numbers small but if they all turned up at the same place you'd know about it. There's a similar situation with the ' travelling community '.
