Once you've gone through the hangaround period, the members of the Club have viewed your behavior, your attitude, your dedication, trust and loyalty, to be there. If you've actually completed this period, then you may be asked to become a prospect. During this time you are put under a much more intense review. You and the other members of the club find out if you are suited to be a part of the club and if you can accept the other members as Brothers just as much as if they can accept you and call you Brother. Can you dedicate yourself to the others as close as you would your own flesh and blood? it is an even closer commitment than family. The person that you call Brother becomes family as a part of his as well as you being a part of theirs. A common phrase used in 1% circles is “I am my brothers keeper.” This means you will support him and help him any way you can, sometimes to the point of selling your bike to help him, quitting your job to go help him and, in some cases, Brothers have even done things that they already know could get them in jail because they were willing to take that step to help a Brother out.
With all that commitment, its also that you would not ask a Brother to do something drastic without very good cause. Brothers may disagree, but they will always respect one another and treat each other with respect.
Please take note that if you haven't had any experience being around the more serious 1%, clubs, we take the word "Brother, or Bro" very serious, and we will only use the word as a show of respect towards our own club, our members, and any other club that we feel a strong brotherhood with.
And if by chance a 1%er club or its members overhears someone throwing around the word lightly within their midst, it could cause them to "educate" those whom they felt disrespected them, by abusing the word.
So next time you feel the need to call someone Brother or Bro, just what is behind it? Commitment or just trying to sound cool? Think , and respect
The word and the meaning of the word .
