      Ok let me share that I'm not in an OMC or OMC I'm just an Older MC Member, so here is my take. No Club - No 1% Diamond. Now, here my other catch, you do need to earn it? Its earned by proving something to someone. There for that person you proved it to (them being a 1%er) may call you one because what you did (for them or with them), but I'm sure they will explain more info which is...THIS DONT MEAN YOU GO AROUND SAYING, ACTING OR POSTING YOU A DIAMOND HOLDER. However, if he's that good of one not in a club, he won't even have to be told the info...OTHERS WILL KNOW HE'S A REAL S.O.B. as Stone Cold would say.

    1%er is a mentality or lifestyle. You can be a 1%er and not be in a club. 1%er refers to being an outlaw, back when the term was coined it referred to bikers who went against the grain. They didnt follow the normal set of rules. You can do that and not be in a club. I wouldn't recommend wearing the diamond if you are solo though but you can still be one through your actions. #ghostin

    I’ve ran this squirrel on the wheel a few times since I’ve heard it chatted about before. I’m just the old veteran citizen who’s been around out there. I lived in the SWPA area most of my life with East Coast Madness around, to Chicago, to AZ, to Cali then back to the East Coast . My take from the outside looking in - yet being on two wheels you’re going to run into the clubs. And, we all know how “respect” works at this point.
    To be the 1%er, you have to be recognized by a 1%er. As in the brotherhood recognizing the work & effort put into the brotherhood within the club. Becoming a brother, being a brother, the schooling, the hazing. The vote, the prospecting, the labor & toil, and unspoken things that define that brotherhood/club, and being held accountable & responsible by your brothers. You move as one, you ride as one, you live to an extent as one. You’re held to a standard by brothers.
    The one way to remain in 1% standing is the various outs - the retired, injured, etc. like you said.
    Let’s say I was never in the military, for whatever reason, like I was not able to join. I can run down to the Army/Navy Store, and get a set of patches, ribbons, medals, and a complete uniform for that matter. And, I ran into some of these “stolen valor” types over my lifetime. So, they’re out there, decked out, can talk the talk - BUT they haven’t walked the walk. They’re not “real.” They look the part, they can name all the parts of a yeet cannon, whatever. But, they can’t make it work if I handed them all the pieces to put it together. They never touched said pieces before, and the biggie to me is that they have no witnesses to their abilities to perform any tasks. How can I trust him? Who can I go to, get in touch with, to validate that he knows his shit? If I ran into a club member at an event, havin’ a beer, if I run into another brother of his while bullshittin’ there, I know that there’s two brothers standing there. Not one dude wearing a patch he got online. If I were on the inside with them, I know both their capabilities. Looking at some dude who’s wanting to be hard, on his own? I can’t trust him. I don’t “know” him. For all I know he could be an insta-rat? Who’s going to back him or vouch that he’s not a rat?
    I’m older now, I’m real, I hold the clubs in a real life “respect” kinda way, not fantasy, not make believe. They earned that diamond, I have absolutely zero business trying to imitate them, and be on their level. I’m not, and wouldn’t be until I was put through the tests.
    Another thing that just ran across my radar. How do you rep a diamond without anything else? “What club are you associated with?” How do you answer? My own? Before most likely getting your ass handed to ya, you’re gonna have to deal with being fuckin’ howled at laughing!

Now if you have some fool that's watched too much Son's of Anarchy or Mayans M.C. and wants to rock a diamond because it's cool!! Then you being that uneducated in this biker world of ours will get you put in a real life bad situation with real life straight up bad outlaw clubs. I proudly rock a diamond with my WOS brothers, remember Sosa your club is like mine.. not all of our bro's care enough to listen to an explanation, some are just trained to go and stay on ready. . education is the key I would say to anyone who is unsure or dosen't know. # Ghostin down south

    Again, respect. Not being a 1%, I can only try to understand. However, having been around a lot of them, I have learned what that means to them, and again, respect to them and the brotherhood that they stand with. I most certainly agree that you can not just go and buy a patch, of any kind related to not only this, but support patches even, if you are not ready to deal with what MAY come with it. Thanks to you for explaining this so well. I have always wondered what a true 1% would think about a no club person wearing the symbol would think about it. As always, as an Elder and Associate Pastor for a biker church that teaches the truth in the bible, I am humbly available if anyone has questions. Much love and respect, keep it real!

    This is a topic that can be very tricky to talk about. I started riding rockets when I was 14 when a buddy and myself decided to be little assholes and take them. We thought we were hard, but got put in our place quickly when we got caught. 14 year old kids always think they are hard. Fast forward a little bit, I continued riding, but bought my bikes LEGALLY. I joined the Marine Corps since then, did my time in the infantry, and that hardened me up from within. I am now 34 years old and have knowledge from the corps that could help me handle business with escalation of violence IF NEEDED. These days I have moved away from society's laws, I put away my crotch rocket days and now ride Harley Davidsons, and I have been known to handle my shit outside of the law because ive lost all trust in the police force after my sister was raped and nothing was done about it. I've also been homeless and did what I had to to survive, make money, take care of my two daughters, and get myself back on my feet.
    With all thay being said, I do believe being a 1%er is a state of mind. You either have it or you don't. Some can learn it, some have it naturally, and all who get there mentally USUALLY have respect amongst those who live it. You just know who is and who isnt, you know what it is as you know the grass is green. Many people talk a big game, but someone who lives it can feel it way way deep inside their gut if someone is truly a 1%er. A true 1%er, in my opinion, is not out to rape, pillage, plunder, and kill. A 1%er does what he has to do, when he has to do it, and has no problem stepping outside of the law to do so because thats just how things are.
    Now this brings me to wearing a patch. A patch is a piece of cloth and string. Its sewn on by cheap thread, and that doesn't prove nothing to me. I dont feel I need the patch to live the lifestyle. For those who do wear it from joining a club usually wear it because thats what their club wears, but some of those people slipped through the cracks and dont live it. For those people who do wear it because that is WHO they are, I dare someone to say something to those guys, it wont be a nice thing.... Wearing the patch should only come from a club though in my opinion because some people do go though hell to join a club, they spend a lot of time, money, blood, sweat, tears, and take massive risk wearing it so they earned it. I do feel there are others who earn it through how they live, but they shouldnt wear it unless they are part of a club. The topic about wearing it vs not wearing it comes down to representing that you are in a club, or were once in a club. A true lone wolf doesnt represent any club, so they should stay in their lane and now wear a diamond either.
    I live the lifestyle, it is what it is, and i am who i am... But I was never in a club so I dont wear it because that part of this world has not yet been a part of MY world.... And i wont wear a diamond until I can find a REAL brotherhood. Ive noticed too many 1% clubs turning on each other, that is the only reason I haven't joined any club at all.
    I live by the Marine Corps values, "Honor, courage, and commitment". Show me a club with that loyalty and I'll commit, until then, respect to all who are living the life of two wheel, and mad love to those who are man enough to handle their shit on their own terms.

      I'm an open book. I'm not ashamed of my life, things ive done, good or bad. I'd even start a club if I could find the loyal people to start a real brotherhood, and yes I would absolutely get the proper blessings to start an interatial club. I dont like the racism involved in local clubs, our states white dominent turned their back on a brother who spilled blood defending his club. He is facing 25 to life and hos brothers forgot about him already. Thats not brotherhood, and thats not what a 1%er club should do to a loyal brother. I am actively looking for a real brotherhood, but until I find it I will keep educating myself through Demons row, Black Dragon, and occasionally I'll pop on over to Insane Throttle... But so far the row and the dragons layer are the best education so far. Insane throttle is more of a news source.

      @@DemonsRow yeah, it seems like women are the true destroyers of everything lol. At least in my life there has been more issues surrounding women and their controlling behaviors. Hey, I have watched all your videos so far, and there are a few topics that BD covered that I wouldnt mind hearing a 1%er's take on the topics such as the different officer positions, I know you coverd the SA position and it was great. You also covered Nomads which I liked your approach to the topic because you opened up yhe floor for people's opinions. BD does a lot about protocol, id like to learn a little about 1%er protocol and various topics that might differ between 99%er and 1%er clubs. Also, some features of bikes, bike builds, and interviews with other 1%ers might be cool so people can hear thoughts, opinions, and maybe some stories that might be able to be shared. The topic id really like to hear about is "flying under the radar", like avoiding beef with the cops so you dont drag a club or even other clubs down a path that causes a lot of grief and sometimes the demise of chapters. We have a local 1%er club, I wont mention names out of reapect for them but you can look them up in Clarksville TN from a couple years ago, but they were wide open dealing guns, drugs, murders, which is all "alleged" by law enforcement and the federal government. Youve talked about their case involving their patches, but I'm interested hear how some clubs might be able to exist outside of the law, without gaining attention. I'm not saying every club and every member does bad stuff, but sometimes just existing with a diamond on your chest brings heat and you will have allegations thrown at you for simply being in a club. What might be some ways, in your opinion, that 1%er clubs could do to potentially change the "bad taste" in the public's mouth after the past mishaps. These are just a few things I hear 99%ers talk about, buy hearing it from a 1%er might be something people would be intereated in. There has definitely been a shift in the way things have been for clubs, and I feel like the future of clubs, bikers, and the lifestyle is in jeapordy if people dont start changing tge way certain things are done. Id hate to see the lifestyle disappear in years to come because of what very few people have done. This is all why I'm educating myself before I commit to any club. Ive also hung around about a half dozen clubs so far over the last 3 years or so and so many clubs are stuck in the same mindset that is getting clubs in trouble. The scene needs help, and I think many more young riders should learn the ropes before they jump into a club and think they are a harass because they have a patch. I feel like its time to save the lifestyle before its too late.

    I'm not a 1%er but the first street bike I ever bought was from a guy in a club. I don't remember if it was a 1% club but he gave me a word of advice that if I ever wore any kind of patches etc and was passing through certain areas it would be best to contact the dominant club (I won't mention any names) to at least say hey I am just passing through because if not you would get your ass kicked and your bike taken away if you were lucky...diamonds are forever and you have to start off as a lump of coal prospecting and put in the time and work to earn the right to wear it.

    A 1%er is a man that lives his way and without assistance of law enforcement. I was born not made. I was a criminal, lived by Omerta my entire 44 years. It's about being an outlaw and living by the code and not by societies rules. It's not about criminality. The patch is about brotherhood. I am who i am with or without what I earned. If u hurt one of mine then a debt is owed and no matter how much time passes, when opportunity is presented then business is conducted. These are what defines a real 1%er. If u never road a motorcycle, I'd still be a 1%er. I would not have ink, clothing, or a patch. Again the patch does not define me, I will always be a righteous man and now I do my best to be a righteous brother as well. In my eyes 1%er is something u are or u aren't. Being a brother is a choice I made (predetermined before I was born, born not made) and I had to learn how to act accordingly, also how to stay within the boundaries of the politics. I'm a 1%er for life. Retired or thrown out, I will always do what I wanna do. I will always be humble and respectful however ready for whatever whenever. The only difference between back in the day and now is that we have to be smarter than technology. U can take what I wear, u can't black ball me if I was outta pocket however u can't take my integrity, honor, or my true self. 1%er is about me and the mirror. Brotherhood is about 2 in 2 out, vertical or horizontal we do it together.

      #Ghostin Independent ! I kind of agree with Hector and Daniel here. First I'm thinking to have an actual 1 % diamond on your cut or wherever it is to signify that you worked your way up through the ranks of a motorcycle club to be entitled to wear a diamond. Then those who would wear it not being in a club being prepared to defend it. But other then someone that is prepared to prospect and earn it the normal way I believe there are dudes out there that either didn't bother to prospect or had no desire to do so BUT ride hard and long and have the FTW mentality the same as a fully fledged 1%. It comes down to where your head's at and some of the old school lone Wolfs / independent bikers arn't going to take any shit no more then a patched member.But their heads mind set is exactly the same as if they had joined a club. My brother always said I should have joined a club back in my younger years 🤔I'm 61 now but he said my attitude against Government/ Police at the time I was a rebelous SOAB and can be still! 😂 Never married / kids and never will be . Complete and utter loaner that wants to be left alone to ride my Harley now that I don't have to f en work anymore!( Retired). So it all depends on the definition of what a diamond stands for. I personally wouldn't advise anyone to actually wear a 1% patch if they weren't in a actual club though . It could get nasty if called out. ❤️Your channel Mr SOSA!

You would have to be recognized as a 1%er by another 1%er. They should be the one to give you the patch. Going out and buying the patch and sticking it on your cut. Anyone can do that. Living the life is a whole mother story. There’s a lot of posers out there. What I call weekend warriors. During the week they’re one thing. Come the weekend they’re a bad ass biker.

      My second cuzin or as I call him uncle was an og of a big dog 1% club was retired for many years died a few years ago now 87 yo still riding his kick only panhead remember this as he always told me "I'm a better 1%er now then ever the older I get the less life in prison means to me" don't get it twisted age don't mean shit other than if you warrent an ass whooping you gonna get it and the old man won't raise a finger but you'll meet every little brother he has in a bad way the old and retired are the best 1%ers imo cuz they've put in more time and more blood sweat tears and miles then everyone else and it is a clubs love and respect of that man that can make brothers shoot first and ask later in most situations

      I've seen full 1% club members rideing on 3 wheels I don't think any 1% club would kick out a brother because he's can't ride on 2s I've seen 1% s rideing on 3s
