This bible will be discussing and briefly explaining how to be an appropriate prospect. This will be your guideline which will be mandatory for every single prospect to memorize in order to get used to the general Biker culture and to pass through prospect hard time. Mentors' questions and tasks will be extremely hard, so this is the only way to survive the general Motorcycle Club life. This bible will carry you abroad from being a lost cause to being a full patched member with a strong blood-brotherhood. This book was born of the never-ending love for the Bikers Motorcycle Club. It was a desire to help solve the problems of member retention, club hopping, disrespectful behavior and the "ME-first" attitude of members leading to destructive behavior that has tainted the reputation of Bikers and many other MC nations on Biker Sets across the world. This book is written to teach wannabees their duties and obligations owed to the MC and the concepts of MC Biker Set life from the Patched Member perspective. I also wanted to clear up some of the misconceptions that are helped to spread across the Biker set. It failed to do an adequate job of portraying the rules of the Biker Set leaving wannabees the impression that belonging to the MC culture is more about designing colors on a laptop, slapping them on their backs and "popping up" than it is about knowing the history, protocol, discipline, tradition, and brotherhood of bonding as family for the rest of their lives.

Do you have what it takes to earn the full patch brotherhood of a Mighty Motorcycle Club? Can you adhere to the strict codes, protocol, customs, discipline and traditions of the MC that are not obvious to casual observers and are not readily shared with strangers? Can you ride in the harsh elements side by side with your brothers, sleeping under the stars and loving the life of two-wheeled iron obsession? Can you be trusted with the secrets and internal business of the MC? Can you serve the MC with loyalty putting the MC first in all endeavors other than God, family, and job? Can you love your full patch brothers as deeply as any blood family? Are you worthy of the trust of the MC? Can you be fearless in the face of danger? Can you stand by your full patch brothers, come what may, through thick and thin, until the very end? Can you do the work required to earn your full patch? If your answers to the questions above are yes then perhaps you might be ready to begin preparing to join a Motorcycle Club. Prospect’s Bible will guide you, step by step, through the process of realizing that dream.[/td][td][img]https://i.imgur.com/8w1EZqg.png[/img][/td][/tr][/table]It will give you an edge your full patch brothers never had. It will give you clarity through the process and guide you to becoming the hottest running prospect your MC has ever seen! You will learn how to prospect for a traditional motorcycle club. You will Learn MC protocol, Biker Set traditions and outlaw 1% MC history along with pacifist 99% MC one. You will learn the duties of the President, Sgt-at-Arms, Road Captain and other MC Officers. You will learn the foundation of what forms the MC's bylaws. You will learn MC politics, conflict resolution and how to successfully crossover!

So, what are the three main important meaningful matters to a legit Biker? Undoubtedly, a motorcycle, the patch and the brotherhood.
Let's start with the motorcycle.

So what can a motorcycle assure for a Biker? It doesn’t matter what you ride, so long as you ride. I can't understand why anyone would ride anything other than a Freeway, but I understand their own unique reasons and requirements. A grandfather used to say to his grandson once "If everyone liked the same thing, they would all be after your grandmother!" I personally don't dog other makes of motorcycles, style of motorcycle, or any other decision an individual might make, but if you buy an uncomfortable but cool looking bike, don't make excuses why you don't ride because it is uncomfortable, etc. There are many bike "owners" everywhere. If there is a 20% chance of rain, only one or two bikes will show. On a sunny day with no rain, we have as many as 15 bikes parked in the motorcycle parking lot. My suggestion to them is "Pack a RAIN SUIT!". Riding in the rain is not the best ride you can have, but most of the time it is really not that bad. You might as well get used to it because one of these days you are going to get stuck in the rain even with all the planning and watching the weather reports. The answer is to be like a Boy Scout - be prepared.

A bike is the cowboy’s horse of yesteryear. Like the cowboy, a Biker is intertwined with his motorcycle. It is his entertainment, transportation, and social life. Most every Biker run has bike games that are the modern equivalent of the rodeo. How many rides have you been on when the entire pack is slowing down for a stop light and everyone has their feet on their floorboards and pegs, trying to do the slow ride? It’s good practice for your next "rodeo". A smart individual gave some great advice at one of the Mandatory’s in the past. This Biker was known far and wide as one of the best slow ride riders in Bikers MC. My problem was that no one was going to enter that slow ride because not only he was in the race, but so was another Biker who was also famous for riding his sports bike with great success in slow rides. (Guess who they are) The advice I got was "How can you ever expect to get better if you don't participate? Everyone had to start at some point."  Because of this conversation, I entered that race and now try to enter in every slow ride I can. I’ve even won a couple of times, but not very often. Point is to grab the bull by the horns and give it a shot. The world is full of spectators, so be a participant. Don’t watch a reality show, be the main attraction!

Someone once said that the last thing a biker would sell would be his bike. He might lose his house, his TV, and stereo, or even his X-box, but the bike is the last thing to go. At that point, a life of crime, begging, or prostitution can be justified, not as much, though. But the point is, a Biker's bike should be his top priority. Is money getting tight at home? Cut back the AC or some other activity. Your bike will always be there for you! A couple bucks for gas, an open road, and a good friend to ride with makes for hours of entertainment.

Secondly, the patch. You're ought to understand what is a patch for a legit Biker; meaning that you'll have to experience everything which means holy for you. Biker patches are worn by members of motorcycle clubs as a form of a message to let people know which clubs they belong to. Bikers often place these patches at the back of their vest and are laden with meaning and tradition. These patches are not only used to identify which motorcycle club a biker belongs to, but also for adding more decoration and promoting the biker’s characters.

There is no applicable rule in designing a biker patch. However, there is a difference between biker clubs and motorcycle associations where the latter only has two patch designs while the former has only one patch design.

A three-piece design is often regarded as the outlaw motorcycle club patch. Clubs that have three or more patches are not recognized and do not form part of the American Motorcycle Association. Three pieces patches have a central logo with crescent shapes located below or above it, called the color. The crescent shape symbolizes rockers and this often causes confusion as some bikers only wear for attraction oblivious to the meaning. Bikers who wear 99% patch are the opposite of the outlaw bikers, meaning they are recognized members of the motorcycle association.

In the biker world, members of motorcycle clubs are often considered to have “earned” their patch. In other groups such as RCs or riding clubs, patches are sometimes given to members without a strenuous membership process being followed. In some cases, they can also be purchased. The type of club a biker belongs to is often identified by a small rectangular or square patch at the back of the vest.

Even though some clubs wear three-piece patches, most biker clubs wear a two-piece or one-piece patches. However, there is no uniform rule for this and patches can vary from one club to another.

The third most important thing for a biker is your brothers, the brotherhood of the MC you belong to. A club is supposed to be a brotherhood that comes from a bond of the love of motorcycles. The presumption is if you all own motorcycles and actually ride those motorcycles, then you must have enough commonalities that unite the members to consider a bond that brings you all together in a club. Before going on, people then should clearly understand why having a club where you have serious bikers and leisure bikers fragment that brotherhood. Serious bikers will always look down on those people who don't ride to bike events, who put their bikes away in the cold or find every excuse to be in a cage as opposed to on a bike.

It is really believed in the segregation of these classes of bikers because by putting them together under one patch, you're fragmenting your club and growing dissension in the group on both sides.

A brotherhood means I can count on you knowing, understanding and accepting that we’ll both be calling on each other so much that we won’t be keeping count. There’s no option in not helping out your brother should he call in the middle of the night, or early in the morning. You will support him not out of obligation, but because in a true brotherhood you do it without question because you expect that of yourself.

[font=impact][size=20pt][color=black][u]Hanging around and Prospecting:[/u][/color][/size][/font]

So, to begin with, the basics. The Hangaround period is just a honeymoon. A Hangaround is in himself not a club member. However, he is known to the club and is considered to be an associate. The Hangaround is generally more respected than the Prospect, as he is still an outsider and has no obligation to the club itself, yet only hangs around the club as a friend. He might have very simple club duties, such as tending to the bar, sweeping the floors and whatnot of the clubhouse, very basic duties that are still required by someone to do. The next step is becoming a Prospect. You are not a member or representative of the club and neither you or the club has a claim on each other. If something happens to you, the club is not expected to back you up. It is a time when you size up the club and ask yourself if they are what you want. It is also a time when they are sizing you up and asking themselves if you are what they want. It's a gentleman's agreement at this point. There is no dishonor for either of you if you back away from the deal. In making your decision, you should remember that as a prospect in that club, life will be a lot harder than it is in the hang around phase. Until you are patched, you will be sitting out Church meetings as an outsider and not permitted to enter until you get patched in.

While nothing is perfect, there is really only one rule if you decide to back away. There will be conditions on your doing it honorably. That could range from just asking to be let loose to a request that you meet with each patch holder individually and ask their blessing on your decision. Even in the case of an honorable decision, there can be some hard feelings. For instance, you can bet your bottom dollar that the patch holders in that club think it is the second best thing in life to butter, so a decision on your part to move on could result in some hurt feelings (especially if they thought you were going to make a good prospect). However, if you do it right, and move to another club, those feelings will usually subside with time.

If you do move on, you are OUT. That means that none of them are going to call you to go out for a beer or to hang around with them anymore. When you're in, you're in and when you're out, you're out.

Motorcycle Clubs operate on the honor system and you "always dance with the one who brung ya". It is a huge act of dishonor to be doing a hang around with more than one club.

Underneath all of this, I am seeing something which I had to recognize in myself at the beginning of my movement towards a club. It is a common thing that happens to lots of people. In the beginning, you feel the exhilaration of being around those guys, but at a certain point, your life begins to get very boxed in. You see their dedication to each other as brothers and realize that your world is about to go from one where you know many people, to one where there are only ten guys who you will spend the rest of your days with. That is for a very scary moment for an instance. Well, to make a long story short, some people back away from that club (after getting permission from the club president) but it isn't long before beginning to miss what's given up. Like the guy who gave up his wife and marriage just because he got laid one night by some bimbo and now is thinking "the grass is greener on the other side of the hill". Motorcycle clubs are a family thing. Your brothers become your brothers because you have all learned to love each other through thick and thin. You know each other's strengths and weaknesses and love each other even when you are fighting. I don't have any trouble telling one of my brothers "I love you", but you will never hear me say those words to my real lifeblood brothers because all I share with them is some DNA blood plasma. Brotherhood is based upon a million little moments that run the gamut from life-threatening situations, sitting on the side of the road at midnight broke down in the middle of no-place, and watching each other's kids grow up. Lots of joy and lots of tears make up the brotherhood.

It took one a long time to realize why MC chapters are so small. It is because when you get to 14 + guys in a chapter, it begins breaking down into clicks. So you see, while being in a very large club and have lots of brothers, you have only 10 or 15 who I am really tight with.

If you are contemplating not joining because you fear your world will get too small, please remember that whatever club you go to, it will be the same thing, and if you persevere, it will either get better or you will just wake up someday and realize you are not MC material.

A Hangaround, in real life clubs, usually tend to hang around a club for close to a year before he is considered for mentor-ship to become a prospect. A Patch holder chooses to take the person under his wing, and the Hangaround becomes a Prospect. At this point, the Prospect dons a vest that has a bottom rocker and only the MC patch (as in the small one) present on his back, the bottom rocker states the prospect's area of the club, and wears two additional front patches reading "Prospect" (his rank) and his location, in this case, "San Andreas" or similarly. The prospects duties are to do whatever a patch holder or above of the club tells him to do, most often than not this is to test the prospect's loyalty and see his willingness to do things for the club. They could be called at any hour of the day and be expected to show up, in rain, fog, or snow, so make yourself available.

A prospect is usually never involved directly with any criminal offenses or charges, as they are more often than not only indirectly involved, as in they are present but are never handling any of the illegal businesses. A patch holder might ask a prospect to come along as the patch holder himself is supposed to do something, may it be an arms trade, selling narcotics, or even beating up a rival club. The Prospect is often times told to "wait back and stand guard" as the patch holder deals with business, as the prospect only observes or remains unknowing of what is going on behind them. Lastly, the Prospect might be introduced to the life of crime towards the end of his prospecting period, when the patch holders want to see how willing he is to commit crimes in the name of the club. Eventually, as the Prospect has shown his worth, he is considered to become a patch holder and a vote is held whether or not he has earned his right to wear the club's colors on his back.

As a prospect, keep your mouth shut, never discuss club business with anyone, and the reality is a prospect is the bottom of the chain. To be really good, learn all members names, easy, learn their occupations, hobbies, etc. A club is a brotherhood, so be a brother. Also, make sure you are available for all events, all prospects are expected to do as they are told or instructed, that's a given. If an officer needs his back watched at an outing or a run, or a brother is broke down at 2 am, just be there. The more you do the easier it is to become a member. You are being watched and it will be noticed, always remember as a prospect you have no rank or privileges, and upon introducing yourself to any patch holder. You must only introduce yourself as a prospect of the Motorcycle club, and keep all other conversation to a minimum, its time to start thinking of a road name. We will pick a name and it will be who you are when in club attire. The road name will be short and describe your personality or something that happens to you are that you do that the Patch Holders think would be an appropriate road name. If your probate time gets extended it means you have screwed up, and you should talk to your mentor. Prospecting should not be looked at as a necessary evil, but a labor of love. All the horrific shit you've heard about initiation or rite of passage ritual from prospect to a member is true.

As a prospect, there are some points that you should really take care of, as breaking them would never be in prospect's favor: [list type=decimal]
[li]As a prospect, strive to conduct yourself as a responsible Patch-holder at all times.[/li]
[li]Always display a positive attitude.[/li]
[li]Participate as much as you think is acceptable; then participate more.[/li]
[li]If you see a Patch-holder of your Club that you have not met, take the initiative to introduce yourself. Always introduce yourself as "Prospect (your name)".[/li]
[li]At all gatherings, make it a point to circulate when you have the time to do so and greet every Patch-holder who is there.[/li]
[li]Anticipate the brothers' needs and offer to supply them. Don't wait to be told.[/li]
[li]Don't get overly friendly with someone that is not a regular acquaintance of the Club. If someone outside the Club has questions, refer him to a Patch-holder.[/li]
[li]Never give out any information about the Club itself to outsiders.[/li]
[li]Always be security minded, look around and see what’s going on around you in public places and report anything that seems suspicious.[/li]
[li]While in public places, always conduct yourself with your association with the Club in mind. Remember that what you do people will remember; good or bad.[/li]
[li]Never let a Patch-holder walk off alone in an unsecured area. If he is going out to his car, his bike, or even just out to get some fresh air, go with him. Watch his back at all times.[/li]
[li]If you are at an open function and pick up on some negative attitudes, especially if from another Club, quietly alert a Patch-holder immediately.[/li]
[li]Keep your ears and eyes open and feed any information that you may pick up on to a Patch-holder, especially information regarding another Club.[/li]
[li]Remember that you are a prospect 24 hours a day. Your association doesn't go on and off with your colors.[/li]
[li]Remember that you are every Patch-holders prospect, not just your mentor's or just your chapter's.[/li]
[li]If two or more Patch-holders are having a private conversation, don't approach them within earshot, especially if they are talking with a Patch-holder of another Club. If you need to interrupt put yourself in a place of visibility and wait to be acknowledged. If it is important that you interrupt, ask another Patch-holder to break in for you.[/li]
[li]Never lie to a member of another Club. If you are in a situation where you are asked about the Club or its membership, it is acceptable to say "That seems like Club business and I really can't talk about it”. If this doesn't put the subject to rest, offer to put him in touch with a Patch-holder for him to speak with.[/li]
[li]Always show respect to a Patch-holder of another Club. Even though he's with another Club he's earned his patch; you haven't.[/li]
[li]Frequently ask the Patch-holders how you are doing and if there's anything you should be doing differently.[/li]
[li]Never ask when you may be getting your patch.[/li]
[li]Never call a Patch-holder "brother". He's not your brother.[/li]
[li]Never call a Patch-holder of another Club "brother". He's not your brother, either.[/li]
[li]Remember that your patch is earned; it is not given to you.[/li]
[li]Never bring a personal friend or a stranger into the presence of Patch-holders without asking permission to do so first.[/li]
[li]At an open function, never turn your back to a Patch-holder of another Club. This is not so much for safety reasons but as a show of respect.[/li]
[li]Always show respect and courtesy to Patch-holders of other Clubs. Don't come across like you want to be best friends. Be professional in such encounters; keep it short, then move on.[/li]
[li]Keep away from women associating with other Clubs.[/li]
[li]Never be quick to walk up to a Patch-holder of another Club in a public setting, even if you know him well and the Clubs are on friendly terms. If you want to greet him, walk up slowly and wait for him to indicate that he wants such a public display to take place. He may be on some Club business and may not want to give the general public the impression that the Clubs are on such friendly terms. If he looks like he's going to ignore you, accept it and keep your distance. The best approach is always to wait for them to come to you, and to let everyone else see that.[/li]
[li]Learn what different parts of our patch represent and what the different color combination of yours and other Clubs represent.[/li]
[li]As you gain experience with the Club, you will begin to see the importance of some of the points discussed in this document. Although no amount of writing can convey all that you will need to know, it is hoped that this will at least help you get off on the right foot.[/li][/list]

Once a patch holder, he has his obligation to the club, he is a full-fledged member of an MC and has more liberties than that of a Prospect, he is free to do as he likes yet is expected to follow orders by higher-ups, yet it is important to note that all men are equal in the MC, no one is above one another except for at the meeting table, where the President has the first, and last, word. A patch holder does not necessarily have to be criminal, however, it is usually the case that most 1%er (outlaw) clubs are known to have criminal patch holders and whatnot.
