If someone wants to learn, possibly become a hangaround or eventually prospect then I’m more than willing to put in the time with that individual. I am also more than willing to answer questions by anyone who approaches in a respectful way and has a legitimate inquiry. What I mean by in a respectful way is don’t approach in a drunken or offensive way, mouthing off and asking what this or that crap means on my Colors. That is just common courtesy in dealing with anyone.

That being said, I have had a boat for a long time, don’t know squat what it’s like being a sea captain or professional fisherman. Don’t really care to be one but I sure give them a lot of respect. There are multiple sides to all views. Which is the correct view….well it is what you are comfortable with. Most 3 Patchers don’t even notice the “Lone Wolf” or what ever you want to be called, unless there is a reason to be noticed.

You might not want to be in a MC, but its always best to know your surroundings. An interesting observation is that anytime a subject comes up about M/Cs and others, there are many feathers ruffled.

To all of you out there that think those of us who have earned our patch are scumbags…quit watching so much Gangland or SOA and get to know us, you will be pleasantly surprised.
Well put.

...like you keep making noises that no one is particularly interested in? You're finally correct about something. Pat yourself on the back, then please go away. Gnats are more welcome than you.

I have yet to see one of those clowns while crusing the roads around here.
I'm guessing that if you spend some time in the local watering holes and and start up a few conversations about "those clowns" known as the Sons of Silence, you'll get a chance to meet some real quick.
