I'll do that.

 

The BFMC has a great history or at least that which I have read,(I have not personally met any of the boys) and diluted as it may be has a history to live up to and be proud of (not unlike other MCs). Many on here have no doubt had desires to belong to an MC at one time or another, for all the right reasons, yet have found life's cause and effect, have led them down a different path of survival. This typically, I suspect, nets us our weekend warriors vs posers. There then of course, is your typical poser...one who wants it, can see it, emulate it, but never understand it. However, I guess my point would be that, TB provides the best info for someone who is learning the ropes, and as he suggests, or as I read it, (I would use quotations here, but I somehow locked my altcar button on ) Be yourself, listen and learn, keep it cool, become righteous, the patch won't bring you respect, you bring respect to the patch. If it is meant to be, it will. You can choose for who you strike, but in the end, the club chooses you. And if it all don't work out, well, you are still you and should be content with that.

I'm just a weekend warrior who rides whenever he can, and gets slivers in his **** from sittin' on the fence. But I just may be the guy who runs a block for you and yours, or splits a lane with a stranger. I carry no ill will to anyone who hasn't earned it.

ride on and respect

All due respect to those who have earned it. Please feel free to correct my line of thinking if and where I'm wrong.

I just don't get someone who wants to join a club based on what they heard or red in the media.
I COMPLETELY understand a small, tight group of friends who do everything together and for each other starting their own club
I TOTALLY understand is someone you know and hang with invites you to his club and you "click" just right.

No disrespect to OP, your intentions are noble, but IMO, way off base.
If you want to be Boozefighter, find the closest chapter and FU(KING RIDE there instead of posting on the forum. Show some initiative.
"History, Heritage and Respect" are good reason to admire a club, but most clubs I know have that. What makes BFMC special to you? What do you have to bring to the club? What are your qualifications and why should BFMC be interested in you? What makes you think you got "what it takes"?
I'd have the answers to those questions BEFORE approaching... but thats just me.
IMO, you failed the minute you started this thread.

 

Seems to me that a true "biker" is a mentality and a life that is cultivated over years and years of living a certain way and hanging out with other like minded people. I think its just in your blood or it isnt. At the same time I dont think theres any reason to be a dick to the OP just because he wants to be part of a "brotherhood". Who doesnt? Some of the comments made were cool but some of you guys need to lighten up. Maybe sit back with a Yoohoo and watch Wild Hogs or something. Lol. Funny that the most chill responses came from actuall BFMC members and the dick responses seem to come from people who "know" members.

 

Thats a great post.

 

Well said!!

I think back to a very good buddy of mine... We've been friends for about 20 years now. He is a smallish guy, extremely unassuming. *Never* talks sh*t. One night, at this point I'd known him maybe 3-4 years, we were in a bar in south Florida. A guy was being a real d*ckhead to this young woman in the bar and I intervened. Little did I know the guy had about 20 friends there, and they were all very enthusiastic supporters, looking for a (not particularly fair) fight... Well, not so much because of the odds, but more because of my basic nature, I explained to the guy I was less interested in a physical confrontation with him (and pals) than helping this young lady out. I told him how sorry I was to have put in question his masculine sensibility. Tensions were diffused, folks went back to drinking, etc etc.

I turned around, and my buddy was standing right behind me and off to the side, like he was ready to go. I asked him what was he thinking? He told me he was working out in his head how he was going to take out our potential assailants. All 20. The guy's about 5'8" 175. Of course, I mocked him, and laughed. He was dead serious. At that point he told me he was the defending national OPEN martial arts champion, two years running. No weight classes. No restrictions on technique. No gloves. (The same tournament Chuck Norris won in (like) '68-'69 to get him going in Hollywood.) I could go on and on with stories he would never tell, but I would...

(Me being me, I just had to test him, after learning that. We have "fought" twice since -- both times ended very badly, and quickly, for me. I'm not a professional, but I'm not a pushover either. And I am substantially bigger than him. He's the real deal.)

What's my point? I find MC stuff follows essentially the same pattern. People who know something, have done something, live it, breathe it, don't need to come on an Internet forum and proclaim their bad-assedness to the world. And make others feel like they're "posers." I know some *legitimate* old school biker/MC dudes -- as legit as they come -- and NONE of them act that way. In fact, the opposite.

I come on here now and again, not to provide *information* about BFMC or anything else, per se, but to simply offer some help to those that might seek information. You're right, whatever you want to do is going to happen on two legs and two wheels in *actual reality*, not is this Internet forum.

 

Aint that the truth. Some of the baddest, toughest guys I have ever met, were also the coolest most layed back guys. Because they have been there, done that, and have nothing to prove. Same goes for MC members. Out here we have a lot of Bandidos. Im not "friends" with any of them but I've drank with a few, and the guys that have been around for a while we're really cool. Not obnoxiously loud or rude and werent starting ****. And not acting like they were better or tougher than anyone else around. Just chill people out to have a good time.

 

Some wet behind the ears guy asked the pres. of a group I rode with many years ago what it would take to join . All Roger had to say was " First thing , you need to be a man ..........." let's just say it didn't encourage the guy to inquire any further .

 

Right f*cking on! I agree 100%

 

Ill drink to that. Ride hard and proud
