I sometimes have to remind myself that some folks dont understand the hierarchy in MC culture. I grew up in the culture, my old man was a biker, taught me the ins and outs, now Im a grandfather and 3 Patch, damm thats been a long time. If someone wants to learn, possibly become a hangaround or eventually prospect then Im 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 dont 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, dont know squat what its like being a sea captain or professional fisherman. Dont 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 dont 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.
We don't really want to hear it, coming from you that is.

I saw a thing on TV a couple weeks back about the Sons of Silence club and how they basically own Colorado Springs.
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.
