And then I got the first Harley when I was 16.

So I went down there, seen one of their parties, hung out and seen, you know, all the different people that were there and stuff and just had a good time.

Nobody was grooming me for nothing.

Nobody, you were supposed to be 21 to get in the club.

Live bands, you know, full bar, you know, strippers on the pole.

The party was open to the public, right?

So it was just, you know, just a big party, right?

I got to meet the fellows and everything like that.

And then they all hung out at a bar that wasn't too far from where I grew up in my neighborhood, about five minutes.

So, you know, at 18 now, I had full facial hair.

Now I was already getting jacked up and training.

The weights were kicking in and stuff.

I was bigger.

I wasn't getting carded.

Everybody thought I was 21 or better.

You know, nobody was carding me because I had that look to me.

I had tattoos on me and stuff.

I didn't look like an 18-year-old youngster at that time, you know.

And then I went back down to their clubhouse, you know, for they were getting together.

They were having a run.
