Big shout to the ghosts and the ghostettes today we talk about
introducing yourself to a 1%er your at a gas pump you're about to load up
a whole club comes through a whole bunch of 1%er some people get nervous rightfully so how do you
address them what's the way that you do it without showing disrespect what is the respectful way
to approach a 1%er we get into it on this episode of demons road tv and oh yeah we ghosting baby
big shout out to the ghosts and the ghostettes welcome to demons row tv
the holy grail of mc culture where we cover everything motorcycle club involved I'm sose the
ghost I'm your host for the evening and today we're going to talk about how you introduce
yourself to a 1%er there's no real one way to do this and you really if you're from the streets
you know how to go off vibe but if you've never been in those sticky situations you might not know
or you know you can go off vibe and not be from the street because everybody's not from the street
but they understand when they're in a bad situation but experience will show you that
more than anything also i have clips from t-rod from the Vagos mc and fetch from the outlaws mc
so you hear it straight from three different 1%ers the proper way to approach a diamond club member
but the first thing i want you to do like we always do on this channel is to hit me with that
#ghostin and that lets me know you're alive and well sitting on 2s doing what you do
or just part of the demons row community one of my ghosts big shout out to all my new subscribers

to everybody that has been rocking with me and got me to this 100k plaque I truly appreciate you
and shout to everybody that has been getting the demons row bandanas the demons row t-shirts
everything that we got going on it's a blessing but let's get into this subject how do you greet
a 1%er when you see them at like a gas pump or whatever now i always say the most important thing
is the vibe study the situation if they all pull up they have a alpha way they move so it's going
to be aggressive so you got to get it out your head automatically that they're just going to come
light-footed and it's easy to know it's not going to be easy to read if these dudes are approachable
or not they're gonna look very unapproachable but the truth is there's a lot of good dudes in these
clubs yes there are suckers and you gotta make sure that you are street smart enough
that you're not rolling up on the sucker you know what i mean and you could just tell by
body language how they they're moving when you walk up don't walk up super quick you
know aggressive don't walk up with your hands in your pocket i've seen people get folded for that
like if you walk with your hands in your pocket you're looking like you know some people are
nervous when they do that and they walk with their hands in their pocket a true 1%er is going to lay
you if your hands in your pocket because they're going to think maybe you're you're you know one
of their opposition and you got something in your pocket that you're about to pull out on them you
know what i mean so that's not a smart move and when you come up don't start asking questions
about patches don't ask any club business don't touch the bike don't touch any patches
keep it super old school if you have shades on pull them off if you have gloves on pull them off
let that man look that man in the eye show them that you have respect for them and you reach your
hand out but i'm the type of person i don't reach my hand out unless it's a vibe that's accepting
so when you walk up to whatever member it is make sure you check your demeanor make sure that you
know that you're not coming with an aggressive feel and they'll they'll be able to tell the vibe
if you're just there to say what's up but there's some people that are like drunk or they're just
they don't know how to talk to people and they could appear like something they're not so if you
know you're that type of person i would advise you do not go up to a one percenter if you're the type
of person that goes into the bar and you get into bar fights all the time the last thing i would
advise you to do is to really have a conversation with a real one i would say as you approach start
saying what your intentions are before you even get close enough for anything to happen so that
they know you're coming to greet and show respect you know roll up much respect just wanted to say
what's up that's a dope bite you know what i mean keep it like that don't act scary but
you know show some love and if you want to throw the hand out and they give it to you that's fine
will you have some people that won't shake your hand it's possible most most won't do that but
you know it's possible but nine times out of ten if you come with respect they're gonna come back
with respect towards you only a sucker will act like a sucker with you if you're showing respect
so i asked t-rod of the vagos mc the same question how can he be approached this is how he answered
so if someone that is not in the club pulls up to the gas station and he wants to say what's up
to you a lot of people ask me this question like how do i go how would i go up to t-rod
and just say you know you got a nice bite you know they have this misconception that you know
you're one percenter so you can't go up to them because it could be a problem or whatever like
how do you feel about that well me i look at body language i look at the demeanor and
the person approaching me you know they've got a smile on their face their hands out
and normally shake their hand you know you know i've got kids sitting on my bike at gas stations
when i was racing uh at night after after the races to open the pits and you put all the kids
into bikes and you shake hands with everybody and kiss shake hands and kiss babies you know
the way the person would approach me is i would feel their their body language and their demeanor
you know i mean if they're coming in to say hi honestly truly say hi i would say i don't shake
their hand if they're coming up because they have a problem with what i'm wearing or something that
would be like hey that's cool just stay right there i can hear what you got to say uh don't
come in any closer because then i'm going to take that as a sign of a threat and then i'm going to
react differently but a lot of it you know we have this thing in our customers we get what we get and
i i live by that you know if you treat me good i'm gonna treat you better treat me wrong so if you
approach somebody like me with good intentions we're never gonna have a problem you know so
basically you understand it's all about your demeanor and you know you're hearing it from
the horse's mouth and just to let you know what disclaimer any mc's that i have on here none of
them are ex-members these are active people these aren't people that were in a club in the 90s and
stuff like that these are people that are actually in the club so when you hear something from them
they're the people that you would see at the gas station because that's how we try to keep it
on demon's road authentic i'm not gonna you know do the x this one member that's disgruntled and
he's gonna tell you some fake story you know what i mean and i'm not saying that i would never
have any ex you know member on the show i want to have a chuck zeta on and people that have
that experience and knowledge i don't think i'm saying that if you're not in a club anymore i
don't want to hear what you got to say that's not what i'm projecting right now but t-rod
active member fetch active member let's listen to what fetch had to say about it somebody asked what
is the proper way to show respect if they were to run into you at like a gas pump and they're
uh like a regular biker they're not in a club or anything they're a little intimidated and they
want to just say hi to you or show you respect what is the proper way if they see you at a gas
station to to like show you respect well i think it comes down to like a stigma that the media and
the law enforcement uh portray on us uh like i said they got civilians scared of us to even
come up and say hello i mean that's ridiculous i mean we're just human beings too yeah like i said
i got no issues i'm gassing up my bike and a guy comes up speaking about harley's speaking about
the weather i mean at the end of the day we're just regular people just like you know me and you
so yeah don't be don't feel intimidated to go up and say hello to a member like like i said it's
not that all bad i don't believe all the hypes that's out there that surrounds our culture so
you get it basically it's the same overlying theme just be cool you know what i'm saying if you watch
this show you should know pretty much how to move when you're around one percenters if you feel
uncomfortable don't go up to them if you don't feel like you could say the right thing don't go
up to them you can give them a head nod you know keep it cool let me know in the comments if you've
ever you know ran up to a 1 and said what's up was it cool did you ever have issues let me know in
