Motorcycle club culture and most Motorcycle Clubs themselves, have a host of unwritten rules. These are the rules that aren’t formal, they aren’t written down in Club bylaws but they are accepted as de facto law in a Club or within the culture itself. For example, most of us have heard the phrase “Don’t…

To the outsider, a motorcycle club patch might just look like colorful embroidery—thread and cloth, sewn onto leather or denim. But to the man who wears it, and to the brotherhood that stands behind it, that patch is something far more sacred. It’s a symbol earned through time, loyalty, sacrifice, and service. It’s a…

There’s a lot of talk about brotherhood in the motorcycle world. It’s a word that gets thrown around in almost every Club’s mission statement, every patch speech, every late-night rant about loyalty and respect. And for good reason. Real brotherhood is powerful.

Stop trying to give yourself a road name – it makes you look like an ass. Seriously. If you come up to me and introduce yourself as Killer, or Rock, or Badass, or some similar such crap, I’m gonna raise an eyebrow and there is no way I’m gonna take you seriously. Here’s the…
