Lone Wolfs in the Biker Community

[certified]

INTRODUCTION

---

I have seen thousands of MC guides, about a lot of topics involving the MC world however the biker community is not just MCs, Associations or any other Riding Clubs. The so called Lone Wolfs makes up the majority of this community. You might be a Lone Wolf yourself, nonetheless, a lot of lone rider doesn't know how to act properly, or in this case, how to roleplay it properly.
I've seen some pack of Lone Wolfs in various motorcycle/MC events over the years, some of them being civil, others acting tough and getting into serious trouble. However I don't know all about it, so I did my research before writing this guide. So keep in mind that not all of these points are my own thoughts.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND FREEDOM

---

It is understandable that a lot of bikers doesn't want to carry the responsibility and burden of being in and MC, especially in an outlaw one. Being in such clubs requires a lot of resignation, let it be work, family or friends. Of course it differs from club to club, but in the majority of 1%er clubs you hear that "the club above all" and they mean it. If you get a call from your President in the middle of the night, even if you're not a Prospect, you must go. If it's your son's baseball match is in the evening but there is a club thing going on, you must be there, with your club.
As a Lone Wolf on the other hand, you don't have none of these responsibilities. You can put your family above all, you can go to your son's baseball match and you can experience the real freedom of riding. Some might say that Lone Wolfs can't go to that much parties. Depends. Of course if you are a Lone Wolf you won't get invited to insider MC parties (if you're not that close to the MC), however if there is two different open clubhouse parties going on in the weekends, you can go to both of them, even if rival MCs organizes them. In an MC there are a bunch of bylaws you have to follow. The Lone Wolf is his own man, he has his own rules and usually doesn't care what others think.

BROTHERHOOD

---

What is also understandable, that a lot of bikers join to an MC because they want to belong somewhere, they want to have an extended family, a brotherhood, which they can rely on, get help from, let it be mental or financial. Your brothers can always help you out, even if you are in the lowest. You scarce of work? One of your brothers will have a business they can recruit you in. You having troubles with your relatives? Your brothers can hook you up, help you through the hard times. And let's be honest, it gives you goosebumps seeing a pack of outlaws riding together. That's brotherhood, that you can't experience if you are a Lone Wolf, or can you? Being a Lone Wolf doesn't mean you ride alone all the time no matter what. You have the privilege to ride with people both inside(of course not with the whole MC, in formation) and outside a club. It won't give the same experience and goosebumps if you are riding with ten-twenty of other bikers, but maybe you are a Lone Wolf because you don't want that. You have your close friends who you ride with once a week and you are just fine with it.

 

LONE WOLF NO CLUB

---

The "Lone Wolf No Club" patch is very common among lone bikers. You can see them wearing the three piece on their back with a "No Club" bottom rocker instead of a State Rocker. This doesn't necessarily a bad thing, however I still won't recommend you wearing one. If you have them on in a bad area, you can get into serious trouble. A lot of MCs are very furious about patches, especially three pieces. In their world, you wear a patch if you earned it and that's why you can even get yourself a good beating if you show up rocking them. It's important to mention that it's highly depends on the area you at.
A lot of bikers with this patch tries to resemble an MC, even if they don't say it directly, but wearing patches (even Officer patches), creating different groups on Social Media with Countries in their names, acting like an MC says just enough. Usually these are the people who are the most anti-club among all bikers. I'm not here to judge anyone, but in my opinion this is the most embarrassing thing someone can do in the biker community. Wanting to dodge the Prospect phase by buying patches they didn't earn, sewing them on, acting tough is just something no one with a straight mind would do.
At the end of the day, the "Lone Wolf No Club" will still exist, you can buy different patches online (even diamonds) and you can wear them in your taste, just be aware of the consequences they may draw.

Good job on making this guide. It's good to have a guide that shows that sometimes you can be part of biker community without being in a MC, as people, who are not familiar with the concept of biker community, might think that it's all about being in a club.

Only retards that don't understand club culture wear Lone Wolf patches. If you ride a motorcycle and you're not in a club, you're just a regular dude that rides a motorcycle. A guide isn't needed for this topic, but good job either way.
