[@tobylopez445]

People watch your channel, because you are a really kool person. I would love to have a riding buddy like you. So keep on Rocking Smitty

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thanks man. I really appreciate that!

Simple, real, honest, respectful...I can appreciate that..nuff said. MLH&R... Commish.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thanks Commish! I appreciate you watching my friend!

[@timconnors550]

I like your no nonsense attitude and I am a MCMF and respect is what drives me and motorcycles give me life

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much for the kind words. I agree 100% that respect is key. MCMF is a way of life and I'm glad to know there's more of us out there!

[@timconnors550]

66 ride a dyna bob do my own wrenching and facing and made sturges last year from Phoenix put 4000 miles on my bobber and was riding the day after I got back.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

@@timconnors550 That's awesome! Ride safe and enjoy sir!

[@HARMARSCH2]

Big Smitty, Yes we all have rules we have to follow that’s a given. As for The Club that’s between The Club and You, no matter what the reason/reasons are for leaving or disbanding. Get out and ride it’s what you love. The hair looks good.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the support and you watching my friend! Yeah I shaved my head for about 20 years before I decided to grow it out and I’m happy going back to my roots!

[@thedustychronicles739]

Great video, honest and real!! I’ve been riding all my life. I grew up around bikes and bikers. My father rode a 1947 Indian Chief and 3 of my mother’s brothers rode Harleys. Of course that was back in the day where if you rode a motorcycle you were trouble. To some extent, that stereotype still lives today, unfortunately!! Awesome that you got to speak with a legend, someone you admire and respect. I myself think of my uncles as legends from all the stories I grew up listening too. They were never members of a club an MC. They had a large group of friends they rode with but never considered themselves a club. The all remained Independent. I never knew or was told their reasoning for that choice but when I got my license my uncles told me to never wear a patch. If I did they’d kick my ass. All my life I have respected their words. I have ridden with clubs and have friends that are patch members. I’ve been invited to prospect many times but declined and I told them my reason. They respected me for it!! Again brotha, great video!!

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much for watching! Things have changed over the years. I remember when anyone with a motorcycle was a ruffian or a troublemaker! It was awesome to speak to Spade George. He’s the real deal! Thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@DeadNought]

That is always good to meet people you look up to. It is inspirational to know that they were once just like you, and other than a bit more notoriety, want to be just like you. Prospect situations when there are club adjustments happen - just like life. I had a club fold before I could make it through in 2018 - it happens.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much for watching! It was awesome to get a chance to talk to Spade George. He is the real deal! Yeah, club situations can suck and as a prospect you’re kinda at the mercy of what happens. But I’m good with it and happy. I’ll find the right club for me in the future.

[@mcfritter]

"Rules for showing and gaining respect for and from clubs" should have been the title.

[@NVARider]

Looking good! Super cool you got to speak with Spade George. Sounds like a really cool person. Just relocated to Texas and have been enjoying the weather. Able to get out and get some riding in. Way better than the Michigan cold. Ride Safe!

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Congrats on relocating to Gods country! Thank you very much for the kind words. Spade George really is a great dude. Enjoy that weather and be safe out there!

Yo Smitty! Awesome story about George man. No need to apologize for geeking out we all do it when we meet our heroes. I’m sure the club thing will work itself out if that’s the direction you go man. You know you’ll always have our support.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much Brett. It was absolutely awesome to talk to George! Dude he is the real deal! Man I’ll find the right club eventually, but I’m happy just riding and enjoying life! Thanks for watching buddy!

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much! After growing it for 2 years it was time to cut it!

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much! I appreciate that my friend!!!

[@jd9308]

Great video and conversation the way it is every week from you. Hair cut looks good on ya too. Spade George doing business the "old School" way makes me respect him even more. Sorry bout the club not working out. I know it was a tough decision for you, but you are a better person/man for being involved with that club and forming new friendships that can continue on. Much respect to you. Ride and stay safe down there in Big Texas!

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much for the kind words JD! Spade George is really an awesome dude! I can’t say enough good things about him. The club thing sucked but in the end it’s just a new beginning and I’ll find the right fit in the future. Stay safe and thanks for watching!

[@GBeWinginIt]

Damn! This is awesome. Yeah I’m a MCMF and proud of it. Nothing like meeting and really speaking to someone you look up too. Appreciate you for sharing your story and club situation. Life’s good, ride forever!

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much! Spade George is the real deal! MCMF Original and a good dude! Absolutely life is good and the ride is great! Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much Kode! It was awesome talking to him and just getting some history. Thanks for the kind words and for watching buddy!

Hey man, keep dropping great content and don't worry about the trolls. One simple rule in life regardless of whether or not you even ride, give respect - get respect.

[@darkknight1340]

Sorry to hear that the prospecting didn't work out for you,much better to have resigned when you did than discovering that the set up wasn't what you signed up for a few months or even years further down the line.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much. Yeah, it was better to walk away from the situation than to stay. Luckily since this video things have changed and next week I'll have a video on what's going on currently!

Hi Smitty and the haircut looks 100% better and screw the haters ☠️ you know what your talking about and they are clueless and will get a beat down if they mess with the wrong MC in spades ♠️

Great share Bro

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thanks man!

[@crupert23225]

The hair looks GREAT, man! Gives you a whole new look. I like it. Lots easier to maintain too. The lady who cuts my hair is a biker, and she's been on a 2 month vacation, so in the mean time, I have been cutting my own hair. And with a buzz cut, all I have to do is get the #2 guard on the clippers and run it back and forth about a hundred times and I'm done. Less shampoo, less time drying. Wash and go. It really does look great on ya. Stylin' and PROFILIN'!! Slide forward to 1:04 on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWGViKabi6t1rZo In the Virginia Valkyrie Riders Club (VVRC), we have two members (me and Rick) who make up the rules as we go. No patches, no cuts, no nothing. LMAO! We don't need no stinking rules. He and I both turn 62 in April, oddly enough, and on our birthdays we are going to go buy a lifetime national park pass so we never have to pay the fee again anywhere. I referenced the VVRC in a post on the forum, and somebody from Maryland wanted to know if we had a web site! LMFAO! Surprised to hear you stepped down. Seemed like you were very happy in the club, and I'm sorry it didn't work out. Sounds like there were some unspoken issues. Have you given up alcohol? Haven't seen you sippin' on a beer or a Crown lately. This would have been a good video for that. Rick was at Daytona this past week. He got to test ride a new GW for about 30 miles. Said in sport mode, it was almost TOO powerful. It was a DCT model and he said it was the smoothest, nicest bike he ever rode. He MAY be in trouble. Course, there aren't any to be had most places around here. I see now that Ford is selling its SUV's without many of the computer chips due to the supply shortage. Eh - who cares if the air bag doesn't work and the rear lift won't go up or down? Well, should be having some good riding days ahead. Raining here all day today. And the pollen will soon be blasting clouds of green all over everything. Congrats on your latest sub milestone of 3500! I just cleared 36 - 1% growth overnight! Cracks me up. Tongue click and fingers pointed back atcha! 🕶🏍🏍🏍😎🍺👌👍👍👉😜

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Thank you very much my friend! I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, the haircut is much nicer and way less maintenance! I’m glad you have a riding partner and someone to enjoy the road with! Eventually I’ll find the right club and the right situation, but I’m not in a hurry. I haven’t given up drinking entirely but have slowed down quite a bit to help with my health. Thanks as always for the support my friend!

No disrespect , I watch these , Im just not a club type of guy your rules would drive me barmy , so Id just ride a bike , love it , mind my own business , go riding , sure if i came across any one ? Theyre bikers so ok , why do oeople want to be in clubs then ,moan about it? Or wear wrong gear ? Join a club obey rhe rules , or do your own thing . I got good advice on a advanced motor bike course , good riders arent noticed , thats how I like it .

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Clubs aren’t for everyone. Some people like them some don’t. I do and I enjoy the camaraderie that comes with them. I believe in live and let live and do whatever makes you happy. I love riding and that’s my primary focus. Thanks for watching.
