So I am back again. Read your posts. Is it real or is it real or is it Memorex? If you read any earlier posts you would know that the spokes mc is a made up name. I am keeping the name of the club I am in out of this for good reason. Tell you what though, I am attaching the photos of the bike I built, as I told you I would. I don’t know of I mentioned that I ended up getting some 80 spoke wheels. After I crashed the bike one of my club brothers came over while I was resting up and brought a prospect over and while I sat back and had a few cold ones the prospect changed those 40 spoke wheels for 80. Only took him five hours. All the beers we let him drink didn’t speed him up either. Boy might just make it. You FOR SURE get enough rope to hang your self. We want to see the real you. How you are drunk, AND sober, If drinking is your thing. Not everyone drinks, but if you do, better be able to handle it.
I know I mentioned that I crashed the tank. Well I switched the tin off an ’87 FXR and this is what you got. I put the dented tank there for you all to see. That was a bad ass paint job , the old school flames. Just one overlap. I will probably do some pin striping on the silver.
Everything’s good with me, I been working which is good, in this day and age just having a job is a special thing. And yes, I will write this blog as long as they let me, for sure into the new season.
Speaking of which I had a chance to talk to some people that work on the show recently and all I can say I can’t wait for next year. I bet we will be the number one show on the air by episode 1. I know, that everyone I know has been asking me when the new season will start. I think a box set is coming out soon.
Everything else is the same. Working a lot to make ends meet. All the Brothers are on the street. No one is locked up. Not Bad. Bike’s running good. Getting along with the old Lady. Thinking about getting another dog, don’t know if I am ready yet. Only time will tell. Just trying to enjoy life. Work or play it’s all the same. Just enjoy it all. This is the life. Club Life. The ONLY life for me. I hope this found you all Healthy Free and Happy.

By khevin on July 23rd, 2009 at 3:17 amdont know if its bs or not dont give a damn really just know i enjoy the show keep it up sutter
By freedom on July 29th, 2009 at 4:09 amYeah, because all the guys I see riding around in packs with whatever MC logo on their backs are all one big put on. You don’t think it’s possible for someone from a MC to be able to blog? Jumpin’ Jesus is right.
Bob, the bike looks amazing. I’m in the market for one and she’s a beauty. Be proud of it.
The show’s awesome; can’t wait for the new season.
By m4ng0girl on July 30th, 2009 at 2:17 pmHey Fat Bob,
By disturbed1 on July 30th, 2009 at 9:21 pmCool you got wheeles again and a clean slate for more art.
sorry bout the crash. Hope your feeling better and don’t rush into a new pup to quickly. I lost my best friend bout 8yrs ago and it took me 5 of thoes years to feel comfortable with a new pup
Its not a put on. You finding it hard to belive they would hire a real 1 % to advise the show? You just have to watch it to figure out they must have someone adviseing them so give me a ****ing break.
By Trip on July 31st, 2009 at 5:39 amLove reading your blog Fat Bob, and I love the hell out of this show! What woman wouldn’t, I just love when people leave comments that are bull**** talk. I respect the brotherhood of the clubs, bikers are the best people you could know. I rather have a biker on my side than any other kind of people in this world… Keep up the blogs Fat Bob and can’t wait for Season 2 of Sons of Anarchy… LOve the pics of the bike!!
By janine on July 31st, 2009 at 9:31 pmThose that have been there and done that can easily read through the bulls**t and spot a phony from a mile away. What I read and what I’ve seen leads me to believe that this is real. ANYONE who’s been in “the life” will understand the keeping the club name out of print. Anonymity is always a good policy for the avoidance of unnecessary heat…and the Heat is always looking for loose lips. As an old Bro of mine used to say,”Dummy up, Dummy!” Saying too little is always better than sayin’ too much…nuff said.
By Mike on August 1st, 2009 at 4:15 pmNice bike– BUT extend the front end out at least four more inches \ angle wise ! Standing up too straight in the front of the bike! Yeah I enjoy the show a lot! Some a lot of similarities with a 1% percent club, but some things to make it even more like one need to be implemented. Case in point- OPPIE! In a real 1% percenter club patch holders do get some down time to adjust when they come back out of the joint, a few months at least, but after that they either get their **** together and start taking care of business or their patch will get yanked and their ass is kicked out! Brothers who get out of the joint after serving long term sentences like a 10 to 30 year stretch sometimes have to prospect all over again. Also most 1% percenter clubs have an elite special group that takes care of most of the “shooting” situations of club enemies. The Club presidents seldom get involved hands on in those kind of things. Also the gun running scenario is getting a little too much exposure as 1% percenter clubs have more ways to make money , lol, as you should well know. It all depends on how the show writer writes the scripts, and whether he chooses to make the show sorta like a real Club or go a little more hardcore. Working girls, club owned massage parlors, strip joints amongst other things,lol.
By Weylin on August 2nd, 2009 at 7:44 amHEY FAT BOB - I WAS SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE BROTHER PASSING AWAY - CONDOLENCES FROM THE EAST COAST - YOUR SCOOTER LOOKS GREAT - TOO BAD THE FIRE SIDE WAS A GOOD PAINT JOB - KEEP UP THE BLOGS - DO YOU KNOW WHO WRITES THE SCRIPTS FOR SOA - I GOT A GREAT IDEA FOR THE MOVIE - IT WAS A TRUE THING OUT THIS WAY - HELLO TO ALL OUT YOUR WAY - OR AS THE CHIEF SAYS -KEEP RIDING TILL YOU CANT REACH THE THROTTLE!! RTL / LTR - SUNDOWN
By SUNDOWN on August 3rd, 2009 at 7:19 pmThe scoot looks great, I allways loved the fxr models, to the a#* hloe who didnt like your front end he obviously has no grasp on club life , a long front end is useless for guys like us, we need a bike that handles good looks are secondary!
By ratchet on August 4th, 2009 at 6:59 pmSad to hear about your dog. I really hope he finds his way back home.
Dogs are the best.
By Dan on August 5th, 2009 at 11:48 ami have to sasy the bike is absolutely georgeous an sorry ta hear bout your crash well anyway i completely agree with your assesment of the show it deffinately brings back memories
By Chris "psycho" Davis on August 6th, 2009 at 8:09 pmLooking forward to the season! For the first one we are having a big time party, and then watch the show. Who you are, I don’t care when you are a Patch in a 1%er Mc you are not going to be running around holding a billboard!!
By os on August 7th, 2009 at 9:01 amI was suprised to hear you say “all the brothers are on the street”. You must be in a really small club or not an outlaw club at all. Every real outlaw club has guys doing time. Sad but true. I know this because I’ve done time in both.

Beautiful bike.
Ever since i was a kid I’ve wanted to be apart of something,and the first time i saw a Harley i knew that bikes would be a big part of my life. Once i saw anything about a club i felt like thats waht i would be in until i saw the only thing they ever show on the new. The brutality and stories of bloodshed. I’ve always the type of guy who won’t really start a fight but will end one. I mostly stand up for my firends and family. I fight for them more then myself.
When i saw this show i heard what Jax’s dad wanted the club to be. “A Haley comune.” That’s pretty much what i want our club to be like. I have never looked for enemies and i know i never will.
Me n’ my buddies wand to have the jackets and the brotherhood without starting anything. We just want to open up our own bikeshop and stand up for ourselves if need be.
I guess what I’m asking is that if you think that even if our club ends up how we want it,will it end up being the same for our kids or will someone corupt it like what happened in this show?

like the show, but doesn’t any one out there ride anyting but evo’s, or ground pounders? what happened to the ol skool bikers?…i’d love to see a scoot like my deceased hubs ride…ya know ‘51 pan with kiker and a scratch your ass shifter…
By bikerbarbie on August 8th, 2009 at 6:04 pmHey bro good blog. Its good to see your scoot is coming along well and hope to see it with a little more attitude as time goes on. The show is great in my opinion and can`t always tell whats real and whats hollywood buy WTF I watch for the entertainment value and to me it`s good tv. Better than watchin some of the drivel they have on today.I`ve been a 1% er supporter for many years and the brotherhood / family aspect is all true from what I`ve experienced.Met many a righteous bro out there on the road and have been recruited a few times and always refused because it takes a certain breed of biker to be in a club.I`ve been told by bros that in some ways I don`t fit that mold and can`t make the commitment that being in a club needs so I stay independent and I get to keep the friendships I have with my bros who do make it.I will always be a supporter and will ride with them for as long as I`m invited. Anyhow , hope to see more pics of your scoot as it progresses and go ahead and get another pup….you`ll be glad you did. Ride hard , Live free.
By INDEPENDENTBIKER on August 11th, 2009 at 12:35 amHow u doing fat bob? sorry 2 hear about the wreck u got lucky i was hit from the side going 15 mph and i got tossed still feeling the pain from 2 years ago, Love the show and i have a 72’shovel i’m trying to work on but cash is tight every 1 wants 2 borrow but no 1 wants 2 pay back. one day i will have her looking the way i see her in my head i been looking for a club but alot of the local ones are a bunch of fakes too bad i cant find peeps like u around here that would b cool as hell. well keep up the good work, talk 2 u later.

I am so glad this show has been extended I hope it goes on forever, it has a great theme. My father in Law was in Viet Nam a Gunny, he served two tours there, unfortunately he died after many years of struggling with painful memories that drove him to a terrible addiction. He was a bad ass tho, true story man I really liked and admire him a lot. me I’m just a daddy, dedicated for life. My oldest boy is married now and he is making me a granpa in another four months they say it will be a boy,wow I’m excited, he is is basic training right now roughing out like Daddy and Granpa’ and all our family has always served our Country proudly. I pray good things for my boy and all the boys and girls over there. i would travel around the world and hunt down any would be terrorists who ever touched him, best they just leave this one alone… Lost a child once she was killed by a dysfunctional teenager at only nine months it broke my heart, we arent meant to bury our children they must bury us instead, anyway thats my hell. my remaining kids are the lights of my life. sure would like to ride that bike in the contest even once would be nice. You all take care I wish you all the best with the show truly, if I won it I wouldnt change a thing about that sweet machine. I’d ride her everyday and put her away at night, pass her down to my boys when I die. keep it in the family as-is. Too sweet with too much history to ever change anything about her….the Bike I mean, wow. some nice simple artwork worth keeping. I know my chances aren’t really high to egt the bike but hey thanks for letting me enter to try anyway. take care and keep making more sweet machines like that one. Asta amigo
By dadzilla on August 15th, 2009 at 2:21 amGlad to see your doing O.K. and the bike looks great. Just wanted to drop a line and let you know how much I like the show it is great. I don’t belong to any MC, but I am one of very few females who own a bike in my town, “if you aren’t working on it, it isn’t a Harley” So my dad always said. My bike gives me freedom, away from reality, being a single parent sometimes you just need to feel the wind in your hair and escape, that’s what my Harley does for me, it’s my home away from home or should I say my therapist. lol Anyway thanks for all the interesting blogging Fat Bob Can’t wait until Sept. 8th 2009 SOA will be back in the saddle.
By cheadawn on August 15th, 2009 at 12:56 pmkeep on keeping on.

Hey Bob,
By Stacy on August 16th, 2009 at 10:56 pmThe bike look awesome. I absolutely love the show and everything about it. I was wondering if you have ever heard of The Hogs On The High Seas. They are an organization that pays for dialysis patients to go on cruises. Let me tell you, you’ve never been on a cruise until you’ve gone on one with over 1000 bikers. It was the best time of my life and I got to go twice. If you ever get a chance, check them out….they are awesome!!! Keep on blogging!!
This has to be one of the coolest shows I’ve ever seen. Some of us have been our own kind of outlaw for all of our lives, but this show brings out the humanity that exist within the outlaw ranks for all to see.
By GREG RAYMOND on August 17th, 2009 at 8:20 amYou’ll probably think I’m sick & wrong, but the funniest episode by far is when they pick up the bald dude from the slammer, & he proceeds to put his right hand down below & starts yanking the crank, right after shaking hands. More fun to come when Clay bring the guy to the clubhouse & Piney gets a first hand look! I’ll confess to showing this episode first to my handicapped son, who has not watched the show before as he has been gone to a rehab facility,& being a degenerate just like me, laughed till he about sh_t!
I’m chafing at the bit to see what’s in store fro season 2.
P.S. The most satisfying moment was when Jax popped a cap on that a-hole ATF that was stalking his woman!
19 days and counting…2nd season is gonna ROCK!
By gas on August 20th, 2009 at 2:45 pmReally glad show is on for 2nd season. Hope it stays on longer.
By Michele on August 20th, 2009 at 4:00 pmAlso, sweet ride Fat Bob.
Ouch, looks like you laid her down pretty hard. The new tins look great. Keep on, keepin on.
By SIG on August 21st, 2009 at 6:47 ami think what attracts people to clubs is the power against the
By lawrence harry on September 7th, 2009 at 6:23 pmb*****it social agenda’s , were everyone is suppose to work themselves into the ground while getting screwed, and only the politicians and powerful skim the cream. Its just the old well known
, no one will ask how many in your army, they all know the anser plenty enough. SOA is an interesting series, waiting to see what happens. good enough , take care
Its about being 1% of the population that lives by there own rules not all the un just rules that there is now about not being a goverment pawn and not simplly obaying rules set by a corrupt goverment its about being a totally free person. Crime and rideing a certain brand of motorcylce and rideing with a patch on your back is just a small part of it. I for one really hope they address this in the new season.Fat Bob I hope you make sure of it.
By Trip on September 8th, 2009 at 1:32 pmIm half way thru the frist episode….
By Bones Ghost on September 8th, 2009 at 7:33 pmThank GOD for Kurt Sutter
Excellent show tonight, with one little gotcha when Jax asked if that Panhead Elactra-Glide was a ‘63…
By Jim on September 8th, 2009 at 8:32 pmNew season kicked off with a killer first eppisode! Henry Rollins as an AB, thats classic. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
By 81 Support CA on September 9th, 2009 at 3:48 pmLove reading the blogs Bob. Scooter looks great, bro! Respect and Love. Ride safe, wear rubbers, stay away from the dirty FEDS, and support the Big Red Machine!!!!
Great Ride! Sorry about what happened about the accident & your dog missing, hopefully who ever took him or her comes back soon. Don’t know where your at but with 800 miles must be somewhere around midwest or central or southern areas. Remember one thing, with the new season on now, you have proved that you are alive and working and taking risks left and right, so in other words good job! I gotta a question is there woman riders who are in you know the club that ride with you know? I hope you can understand that if not thats okay. I have a few people friends in so I know that you don’t rat out the club or members. Anyhow nice talking with you on here Big Bob. Take care ride hard…..
By MysteriaSapphyre on September 13th, 2009 at 2:40 pmCool bike. I appreciate your blog. keep it up.
By Primo Kimo on September 15th, 2009 at 3:37 am“That was a bad ass paint job , the old school flames.” huh?! I dunno… Kenny Howard, a.k.a. J.L. Bachs (joe lunch box) aka Von Dutch… who basically pioneered the pinstriping and flames on cars and bikes thang… well, he was a perfectionist. An amazing artist. He had one main rule re; flames. Don’t cross the flame licks. ever. now that.. is old school look.
(but who cares about that. I’m a sentimental, nostalgic ol’ fut, yearnin’ for the ol days…)
Sorry about yer dog.
Keep on keepin on braddah!
Wicked beast you got there. SOA is rockin as always and your blog is awesome!
Respect all the way from Sweden! Keep on writing and keep on riding.
Incipit Chaos!
