Just a note to the jerkoff haters.  Of course “fat bob” is an alias.  Of course I can’t claim my real MC.  Use  your heads.  My club cannot be associated with the show and the show can’t be associate with my club.  I’m helping out some friends, giving my POV on this show, which despite it’s shortcomings is a badass show.  So shut up and if you don’t dig the blog — don’t read it.  Comprende?

Anyway…I’m a few behind, so I’ll try to catch up in the next week or so.  My opinion, this show just keeps getting better.   Realer.  I agree that guy jacking off got on my nerves. I am sure I would have knocked him out the first time.  Clay was too easy on that a**hole. Call me old Fashioned. And how about that lady cop. She was smooth. It would be cool to see her and the other cop tied up together. That was some real life shit with clay and Gemma. It is a tough thing to keep a wife happy and devote ALL to the club. That is what finding a balance is. An Old Lady will either help you or hurt you, there is no in between. For me, I think it is better, even mandatory to keep the two separate. That way if she gets picked up, nothing to lie about,  she don’t know anything anyway. Gemma knew to change the subject when asked but seems like she is almost running the show anyway. Most of my brothers think she is the biggest gangster on anyway.

I liked how Jax found the solution for the guns to get out of the shop. And that IS the Vice Presidents job, to make decisions when the President is not able to. That was re affirmed when Clay said “You handle it.”

And when that girl, Cherry said, “What happens on the run stays on the run,” My old lady went Ballistic. I don’t know about you but that was a little too real. I am still in the dog house. And my dog don’t like sharing his space.  BTW — i love my dog.  My old lady gets a little jealous of that too.

One thing though, they better start clipping those helmets on when they take off. Those things would have fell off on the first bump. Mostly I find I can’t wait for the next show.

Sorry for the snap off, most of you commenting are good and cool.  Thank you all for writing back. It’s as cool as Hell to be talking with all of you.  I’m having some fun.

I agree “Fat Bob”, who would actually think you wouldn’t be anonymous? Loving your blog. Loving the show! BTW tell your ol lady I flipped out too the realness of the show is crazy!

Love ya,

Hey, huge fan of the show, and i think its really cool that they brought in a real biker to make sure they dont make some other crappy show run by people who dont know what they’re talking about. Anyway, i like how you also noticed they sometimes dont clip their helmets. Since you got the insides on the show do you think you could find out what brand of helmets they wear, i think they look badass, and its difficult to find a half helmet that looks cool. Thanks man, Jon Klein, proud owner of a 1998 Sportster 1200C at the age of 18.

By Jon on October 27th, 2008 at 4:54 pm

I’ve noticed that all the cuts look the same. look at each members vest, they all look exactly the same (pretty much). no 1% patches(which then agian, the HA’s may not like that) no skull and cross bones patches or like U.S. flags, and just random patches you see bikers wear. On one post you said it would be impossible to knock all those bikes over in that direction, i didn’t notice that at 1st, but now i do. the jerk off guy, i would’ve “offed” that guy instantly.
I love the show and your blog fat bob.

By Billy on October 27th, 2008 at 7:59 pm

First let me say I havn’t miss an episode. I just started read your blogs but seems cool as hell. I anit had a sled in a few years now…Hard times an ****… But I was amazed at how in depth and in touch the writers were. I grew up In the life and I was blown away. And Jax Doin the Doc while the body was still warm…I was rolling!!!!
Good insite B.T.W. Bob. Im in a Big time 1% state and somtimes **** do get interesting. Kinda cool havin a Inside opinion to gauge what im takin in. And the strip down no B@@l sh*t Rides are tight. Don’t need a trail of shinny Sh*t down the Interstate.

Laterz!

By Ghost on October 27th, 2008 at 9:43 pm

Great show even though some of the lines I swear are from the old biker movies from the late ’60’s and early ’70’s. Remeber those? LOL

Some of my bro’s have seen the show but most don’t bother. But I think it has legs and will be around for a while.

Ride safe.

By Primo on October 28th, 2008 at 5:15 am

Been likin the show. Looking forward to this comming weeks episode. Can’t wait to see the show of force the SOA can muster up.

If they need a Nomad, no make up and fake tats required!LOL

By PA Biker on October 28th, 2008 at 7:43 am

Love the blog Fat Bob, look forward to it every week. Hard to fault Gemma for getting pissed but that cherry girl is a moron for showing up, she deserved what she got.!

By Michael on October 28th, 2008 at 8:05 am

Show is cool Fat Bob!! Still, the cookie cutter scooters and white sneakers?

Keep the show rolling!! The last show I was interested in (Jericho)got axed!!

By Bogan on October 28th, 2008 at 9:21 am

I love this show!!!! It is the best show on TV. I can’t get enough of it. and Jax is HOT!

Love the blog Fat Bob!

Lisa

By Lisa on October 28th, 2008 at 9:32 am

The show is really heating up! Still a little far fetched if you actually live “the life” but good tv. I miss the section of the SOA home page which described each club member, their history and loyalties. It looks like Jax and Tig are heading for a show down!! I think Clay may have troubles from that problem. Especially with a war looming!! If your VP isn’t with you then he’s against you! Jax needs to either get with the club or realize the club as it now exists isn’t what his old man wanted and maybe he should walk now while he can still go out in good standing! Better an out dated tat than another torch job!!

Love the show. Love the blog. Relax some of you people. It’s just a show.

By James on October 28th, 2008 at 1:49 pm

Yep gotta agree with you there BOB alias is good and I am agreeing alot with the show even with the short comings. Will see this evenings episode and blog a comment for ya tomorrow. By the way if you are outta south region BOB, Yu should know the dislike WE all have for Conn. Ed wilterhualt. If you see him please say hi for me right after he gets his eye dotted.

By BAM BAM on October 29th, 2008 at 6:33 am

Hey Fat Bob, Its great to know that the production staff is relying on a Real MC member for their continuity, Screw the idiots who ask if that is your real name or what club your in, people like that don’t know their place. I’m glad that even though our boys in SOA are outlaws they are wearing helmets. Its good to show the ignorant that it does happen. I look forward to seeing the next episode everytime the current one ends. I will be buying this on DVD as soon as it comes out, but I hope they have some cool extras on it.
Keep up the good work, keep the rubber side down, ride it like you stole it, and ride hard or go home.

By Harley on October 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am

Hi :)
Aboslutely LOVE this show. Great entertainment. Being involved with the MC community, SOA shows truth in most all instances. It’s great to be able to actually watch a show that is interesting, entertaining, and believable for once……And it doesn’t hurt that most cast memebers are hot as ***k! Love your blog!! Keep it up…and I can’t wait for the next episode!!
Peace,
*Jin*

By *Jin* on October 29th, 2008 at 10:45 am

hey man cool of you to take the time to do this,the show is really badass but me being close to a man who has 40 years in a MC i can see the fake **** or the unstudied parts but hey thats hollywood as they say right! take care bro.

By erik on October 29th, 2008 at 12:09 pm

I have turned into a geek fan of this show. We bought a 2006 HD Road King Custom recently and I am loving it!

Went to the Love Ride in LA last weekend and saw some of the actors from the show. They were kind enough to stop and take a photo with me! I’m old enought to be Jax mom, but just about wet myself with excitement when he posed with me!

Keep the blog coming, Fat Bob.

By Gaye on October 29th, 2008 at 2:52 pm

Hey Primo! That’s cause half them dudes were from the 60s and 70s! Lol! Bogan, your still on them dang scooters and sneakers? It’s not gonna change. Jax is known for the sneakers and the scooters blow the Mayan bikes away! They smoked them dudes in one episode! As a former military guy, I have a $1900 dollar crotch rocket cause thats what I could afford at the time for now. I rode from New Bern, North Carolina to Huntsville, Alabama for the Trail of Tears ride and back! I would give anything for one of them “scooters” after that ride! I love Jax bike and paint scheme. Tara needs to come back to the darkside! I wonder when he is gonna tell the prez about offing the ATF agent? I was wondering if a crotch rocket rider could prospect a 1%er club or support club or even be a full member?

By Tom on October 29th, 2008 at 8:47 pm

seriously, THINK ABOUT IT THEY ARE PORTRAYING JAX AS A YOUNG KID WHO ISN’T SURE WHICH WAY HE IS HEADED AND IS ONLY IN THE CLUB BECAUSE OF FAMILY TIES, HE WEARS WHITE SNEAKERS BECAUSE HE IS A YOUNGER DUDE JUST CUZ HE DONT HAVE ON RED WINGS DONT MEAN A THING….ALSO REALIZE THAT ONCE THE SHOW AIRS EACH WEEK THAT THE SHOW WAS ALREADY DONE A LONG TIME AGO

By MELINA on October 29th, 2008 at 10:09 pm

look, i’m not going to pretend to know what really goes on with bike clubs. but i have spent enough time around a few associates involved with the lifestyle. so i guess you could say i know enough to know what goes on. i’m a second generation rider myself, grew up around mostly harley’s and some imports. ever since i was an infant (pretty sure bout that one) i’ve always had an interest in riding… the lifestyle and freedom and what-not. with SOME exceptions this show has pretty much nailed that lifestyle on the head. (based off my experiences and what i know.) for the first time i think i’ve finally found something worth watching other than UFC for a change, lol. i don’t pretend know know **** i don’t, but i DO know that some day i may just be fully into a club… who know’s.
and yes i’m part of that younger generation.

keep up the good work Fat Bob! i’m loving the **** out of SOA!

By leprochaun on October 29th, 2008 at 11:27 pm

Just when you think you got a handle on the show, they take it up another notch! Really looking forward to seeing how series turns out. Fat Bob, keep the good work!

By Shay on October 30th, 2008 at 7:13 am

Bella, to answer your question, they do it to P**S people off. People who ride without helmets, make that choice, because its just that, you and your ride and the open road. There isn’t another feeling like it. Would I ride with a brain bucket, only if I have to.
I have been watching the show from the start and have been hooked from the beginning. While I have never been associated with a club, even I knew from the first episode, that Gemma had more control and say than what really happens. However, I have grown to enjoy her character very much. What she did to that tart was awesome and Clays reaction when she showed up at the end was respectful. In not so many words Fat Bob, she said the same thing to the Dr. and she was right. How would it look for her to go to the hospital then go to the club to patch up bullets, especially when your banging the VP. I only hope that the power of the p***y isn’t going to get him into deeper sh*t with the club. Start thinking with the other head Jax.

By Kat on October 30th, 2008 at 7:43 am

This is the best show on TV. I work nights so I have to watch it the next morning. I just bought my 1st bike a HD Ultra Classic. Now I’m looking for the an Old Man to go with it.
Glad to hear show has been picked up for a second season-It always leaves you wanting more.
Can’t wait to see what happens next.
be safe…

By sj on October 30th, 2008 at 9:48 am

First off I do live the life and I do love the show. Me and a lot of my brothers watch the show and actually talk about it. At first we were not happy with the show then we realized it is entertainment and needs to appeal to the entire viewing public. Oh well, as for you not using your real name or MC I wouldn’t sweat the dumb stuff some people are just morons, nothing you can do about that. Keep up the good insight and the good info.

Laters

By Hobbit on October 30th, 2008 at 10:36 am

I love this show…My hubby grew up in East LA in the 60’s and his brothers son was very big in Hells Angels. He is amazed at the reality of the show…finally something to watch on the boob tube. To me it shows the reality of what life sometimes has to be about to survive, not everyone has the white picket fence and the money to make it. Thanks Fat Bob..for your imput..works for us..;)

By Shiver on October 30th, 2008 at 10:58 am

But… the show is freakin great.

By doc on October 30th, 2008 at 3:40 pm

Thanks Fat Bob for taking the time to give your input. I’m sure that is what is making the show as good as it is. I’ve been close to an MC club, as my brother was a member for over 20 years (now retired). I’ve seen some stuff and the show is pretty close. I laugh at some things, like the prospect trying to earn his top rocker. I also understand other things better, like why my brother warned me and protected me from some things. It’s a great show and I’m really enjoying it!

Rose

By Rose on October 30th, 2008 at 5:57 pm

I love the show. My dad has been in an outlaw MC my whole life. I am an only child and totally grew up with all these zz top looking rough neck bikers. Otlaws and a little girl.. boy do I have some stories. I love that you get to see the other side of the life. They have these sterotypes about bikers, an even though not all of the things in the show are true to life, I love that they show the other side of what an outlaw is. My dad is great!!! While he may not of done eveything right in his life he always tried to do right by me. I am really interested in the story line building between Jax and his son. Live to Ride and ride safe…

And I read the other comments I have to say Jax’s sneakers do bother me. I have never seen a real bad ass wear sneakers on a motorcycle in my life. Young or Old.

By Gabrielle on October 30th, 2008 at 6:58 pm

Im scrolling down and reading through the comments but had to stop when I read Hardways comment. Whatever happened between that 1%er and another MC is their bussiness not yours. Even if you think its right or wrong I am quite certain theres something else there that youre not seeing. Also why are you airing out another clubs dirty laundry on the internet?

Common Sense isnt common.

By Colt on October 31st, 2008 at 6:13 am

Well put, Fat Bob! You are helping out a great deal by posting your blogs here with an insider’s perspective. Anyone who gives you crap for not giving your real ID and club affiliation is clueless about club life to begin with. I’m not in a club, but often roll with a couple of local (non-1%) clubs. The show is pretty true to life when it comes to the bonds and brotherhood of a MC. However, Gemma knows too much and wields a bit too much influence on this show. But…it’s ENTERTAINMENT, DRAMA…and done damn well IMO.

I think eventually the dark secret will come out that Clay and Gemma knocked off Jax’s dad in the past. Jax and the hot doc are going to stay together, it’s going to piss off Gemma, and there’s going to be some **** going down internally.

By Norm on October 31st, 2008 at 8:14 am

i agree comepletely “fat bob” to think you wouldnt be annonomous… c’mon get real. i love your blog and the show i think that it is pretty realistic. and the jacking off thing was stupid in my book. btw i hope your dog doesn’t mind sharin his house….

By stephenie B on October 31st, 2008 at 10:55 am

You guys are funny. Think about it; a lengthy electronic discourse on the realism of 1%ers and bikerdom on a TV show. Randy would be laughing his ass off at all of you. God Bless Ya, RL.

By Peaches on October 31st, 2008 at 1:10 pm

Hey Bro thank for what you do! Of course your not going to say who you fly with. keep it coming great show, just got back from a run and the bros their think the show is outstanding. Do you think the women know to much and take care of more then they should?? Ride safe watch out for the cages.
PS how about a show in a couples of city,like a swap meet??

By os on October 31st, 2008 at 6:02 pm

Sneakers….. O.k. To the deffense of the show. I road in a pair of Chucks (chuck taylor all stars) for a long time. YEA i have a pair of Red Wings but i manly use them for work. **** im so into chucks that i have a couple pair of the Black leathers ones. If you go down doining 80 it really aint gona matter whats on your feet. But i road in Sneakers alot…..Just one guys view on it!
Laterz…. Ghost

By Ghost on November 1st, 2008 at 7:16 am

glad the fed got it in the gut for a while s.o.b.

By panhead 65 on November 1st, 2008 at 11:31 am

hey Fat Bob, I’ve spent the day reading just about every post on this website, and it seams no matter who it is, they have a bitch about something. Well I have to say that if the production crew has a real biker from a real MC to go to, then obviously the stuff people are bitching about is put in place to take the reality out of what really goes down. Think about it. CSI doesn’t really show you how to get away with a murder or crime, they give you some of the truth and the rest is fictional for a purpose. Some have said that this show will cause more trouble for bikers, I believe that is crap. Some have said that a civilian would get his a** kicked for sporting colors, that could agree with, but for the most part I appreciate your input and love the show, Keep them all in line.
With much respect

By Harley on November 1st, 2008 at 2:12 pm

FatBob, former MC patch holder of 2 clubs here . Great blogs. Just for the haters, I ALWAYS wore sneakers. So leave Jax alone. BUT…..you never ever ever got in a cage with your colors on. EVER. YOur a MC, not a car club. And also, the Sons and Mayans have the same font style and color for the patch. Would never ever happen. Pass on the word brother!

By Shawn on November 1st, 2008 at 8:18 pm

Fat Bob,
Quit your whinning! So long as you’re cashing the checks you’ll live.

Good points on a bunch of sh*t in the responses.

No body ever gets a show right about all the folks in a community. 24 years in the military and now watching shows like the “The Unit” proved it once again. “Gotta make it sell” was something I heard from a famous clud pres back a few years doing a stay in AZ.

The funny stuff in the show keep me tuning in but the part that makes me remember to watch is the feeling of brotherhood that comes accross in the show. Not to many folks could pull that part off.
Good Job!!!

That’s it for now. Take care, Doc

By Doc on November 2nd, 2008 at 2:25 am

Hey Fat Bob,

Thanks for all your input on the show! People have a misconception that what they see on tv is REAL. It’s a tv show with real life mixed in with fictional characters and fictional events. Reality plays some part in the writing, but without Hollywood to “polish it up” it would be quite boring. My wife and I love the show…and our only gripe is the season is TOO SHORT! Keep up the good work!

Gator

By Gator on November 2nd, 2008 at 3:13 pm

Ter, 10/31 - are you serious?? Just because you wear leather, ride and maybe belong to a MC doesn’t void you of feelings!! I know some guys (and women) that you wouldn’t stay in the same room with but hey, guess what, they are still human!!!

By Sthrnspirit on November 3rd, 2008 at 9:17 am

Hey Fat Bob,

Love the show, and your opinons . I get home from work just in time to watch the show ! just gotta love this. My dad rode for 30+ years in sneakers too ! I wear them most of the time myself, anyways, keep the shiney side up ! laterz

By shortbread on November 3rd, 2008 at 3:33 pm

I am LOVING this show! I have seen every episode and I am on pins and needles awaiting the next one! I have a huge crush on JAX, my husband laughs… whatever… So, the funny thing is… I’m a nurse and when I watch shows like ER, I always criticize. I like the show but somethings always crazy unreal. I don’t know the first thing about bikes except they look pretty cool. I’m a middle aged women wishing I could ride on JAX’s bike, LOL! yi

By Jen from Michigan on November 3rd, 2008 at 6:37 pm

Oh yeah, I liked the comment on the bikes used.
Can’t say much more than they match the clubs alluded to. Ass-candy is for the boulevard not the open-road.

By Navajo13OP on November 3rd, 2008 at 8:11 pm

I have never really been into a show enough to blog about it but I love this show, maybe for its rawness or the fact that I am a sucker for bad boys. I hope this show has lasting appeal. Love the comments Fat Bob

By Amanda on November 4th, 2008 at 11:41 am

Me & the l lady ride a lot. We prefer hoodlum company. Despite the usual & correctly pointed out miscues, its still a blast to watch.
Like the old movies, tho, not enough wrenchin. (I built my fx shovel scrapin $ for parts. Its pushin 100K now, the gal has a FXR & a 06 RK)
Loved it when that creep ATF agent got thrown thru the window had the absolute crap beat out of him.
We need more of that sorta thing on TV.
Was at a BFer run last Sun, neat watchin the clubs roll in. Ditto at Sonnys bday couple weeks back.
Anyhow, found this here blog & ill keep up w/ yer musings, FB….
Hey- next scene where they need a bunch of ragged ass scooter trash passed out all over the clubhouse- i kin do that!

By mutt on November 4th, 2008 at 4:47 pm

Yeah who ever is stupid enough to not know that Fat Bob cant say his club name or what ever, they probibly have the inteligence of a fly…keep it up Fat Bob i check for blogs once a week…

By Shane on November 5th, 2008 at 2:53 pm

I love reading about what other clubs think about the show. I been around bikes almost my whole life, I love actually seeing a show about it and hearing about what other people think.

By Kat on November 5th, 2008 at 6:27 pm

“Mom, don’t go in there! Mom!!”
This from the VP of a 1% club????/
What’s next? “Jax, pull up your pants”. “Yes, Mommy”.
I’m thinking the club ought to change the name to
“Gemma’s Guys, MC(”Mommy’s Children)

By FreewheelinFrank on November 5th, 2008 at 7:40 pm

Love your blog Fat Bob and love the show…I just wish my husband could watch it, but they frown on this kind of thing where he is currently. Oh well, he’ll get out one of these days, but until then I can send him your comments and he lives vicariously through your words. Thank you.

By Kitti on November 6th, 2008 at 7:35 am

So, what’s gonna happen with Bobby now that he’s been identified as a person of interest? And, it was just excellent to see the Fed Bitch get her face smashed!!

By Bogan on November 6th, 2008 at 10:00 am

Luv the blog and the show. It is a pretty realistic depiction of what goes on in the outlaw MC world. I am speaking from the view of female. The comment that I will make is that I think they have given Gemma’s character a little too much power. I don’t think that is quite realistic. But what she goes thru with Clay when he is on the run, is totally realistic and it was quite painful to watch. Hits a little too close to home if you know what I am saying. For those that commented on your real name…. *&^% ‘em their idiots or maybe jus ignorant to the mc world. Either way, I agree … you don’t like the show or the blog ease off.

Rubber side down…

By koolbrz on November 6th, 2008 at 1:18 pm

I wish this show was on every night. I look forward to my Wednesdays. I admire Gemma that is a real woman right there. You don’t find many of us it seems willing to do or die for the ones we love. I get mad at her pickin on Tara but then again she is a mom. At times I think she does it try and help tara out knowing all she knows its a hard life.

Keep up the blog its great to come on and see what you and others have to say.

By Tina on November 6th, 2008 at 5:17 pm

Fat Bob, Getting better each week. I think Samcro should put a hit on the ATF bitch and whoever snitched on Bobby and Opie ( using their Intel ) and also tie in that dead ATF agent and set up the NORDS for revenge, that would be so cool..Keep it Real..Dawg 1%er

By Dawg on November 6th, 2008 at 10:25 pm

Decided to leave my own little comment after reading so many other ones. I have only been around one MC in my life, not a major but a franchise player of one. Over the years I have seen things change with them, such as the clothes and bikes. I dont know anymore about them than that and dont pretend to. I watch gangland on the History channel too, it seems like most of the commentors on here do, because that is the **** they are spouting. If you aren’t a 1%er then dont pretend to know what they do or dont do.

The show is entertainment, hence the dramatization of a lot of events in it. I presonnaly like it and think it is a great show. Some mishaps, but hey that is with any show. I know the show ER has doctors and nurses that have consulted for them from the beginning. Well I am a Medic/Firefighter and can tell you they still make mistakes. Some are planned for the drama and some are just overlooked. **** happens people, get over it. Take it for what’s it worth, a tv show for money and ratings and enjoy it. Hell if you have to, have fun with catching their mistakes and leave it at that, dont get bent over about it.

As far as some of these guys saying you have to ride 4K miles a year to be a real biker, have to build and wrench your own ride, or even have to have a H-D, blow me. I am only 37 and have been riding bikes for 22 years. All rice burners because I dont actually care for H-D and wont pay the high ass price for them. They look great dont get me wrong and an investment they are but if I want to mark my territory everywhere I go i would hop off my bike and piss on the ground. Never been a fan of having to wrench to ride, so i buy dependable and not overpriced. But then again, like i said before, I dont pretend to know about being in a MC and dont try to. The way i feel it is simple. Ride for the feel of the open rode and freedom that it instills in you no matter what you ride. Hardcore for me is riding w/o a windshield, i dont like them, and i do go 500 miles a day sometimes. But most of all ride when you can on what you can, thats it. If you have a job and kids and can only ride on weekends so be it. But dont think you drop 20K on a H-D and buy some leathers that it makes you a biker when you’re not at the office. Thats a good way to get your ass handed to you by a real one. 22 years on two wheels and i dont even make that mistake. Ride it like you stole it and keep it between the ditches.

By Jester on November 7th, 2008 at 10:33 am

The show keeps getting better and better. I was really looking forward to the series start, and was a little disappointed with the first show, but it’s really taken off from there. I’m a daily rider and have ridden for 16 years now in three different countries. Luckily, after retiring from the military, I live in a state without helmet laws, so makes it a whole lot more enjoyable. Love the blog, even reading some from folks with some ‘interesting’ points of view about bikers and the lifestyle.

Keep up the good work and enjoy the ride…
