Scott Junior Ereckson returns to answer your questions

Actually, I do. I have a plan for a third book. It's a kind of a unique story, and I'm gonna go ahead and give everybody a little sneak preview of this thing. So, as you guys all know, or if you read the books, you know that I was adopted at about two weeks old. My parents were... and where I really came from, my actual DNA, my blood... with the help of Ancestry.com, the answer is quite remarkable. And this story is gonna give more insight to who I am and why I am the way I am. I post out some pretty unique things, so I'm going to leave it like that.

Yeah, it's... I haven't started yet, but it's definitely gonna be my next one, and it's gonna happen.

Well, you know, I was active in the club for 32 years, so you're talking about 32 New Year's parties. I can't remember which one they're talking about. I'm sure there's a story behind every one, and I don't recall you interrupting me on that. No, I don't.

We got campsites. We went to campsites, we partied. It was none of this hotel shit. You know, I've used a rock for a fucking pillow before, and laid there in my own vomit. I'm not complaining; that's the way it was. We partied hard, and we didn't have no beds. It was just a party time. And there was a lot of parties, a lot of good times, and it was way different back then than it is now.

Yeah, that was easy. It was two Top Ramens.

You know, I've considered it. Right now, I've got a full-time job. I'd like to retire maybe next year if things allow. It might be something I consider maybe later down the line, but... okay, so you're not saying no, though.

Okay, so let me think about that a minute. Stuff, but my concern is this: when I'm going down the road and the Harley's next to me, I know it's a Harley by the sound of the motor. You know, everybody said loud pipes save lives. Well, you know what, I believe that. And I think the sound of a motorcycle is part of the safety feature and awareness to other vehicles. I mean, what are you gonna do, go down the freeway splitting lanes on a silent bike? No one even hears you coming. So am I against them? No. I mean, who's gonna stand in the way of progress? But would I buy one? Do I think they're safe? No. You know, you got all the odds against you anyway when you're riding a bike. Now you're going to take the sound away. They're not going to see you. They hardly ever see you to begin with. Now they can't... part of that is that loud pipes save lives. This isn't me trying to rev on the throttle and show off and do all that crap. I want you to hear me because most of the time you can't see me. And I guess... and I said I wasn't gonna do any opinions, but I think you're gonna agree with me on this one. When you're in the cage, when you're in your regular vehicle, and you miss a bike, you almost feel like shit, right? You're like, 'I didn't see that guy.' And you think to yourself, 'Man, that could have been me,' you know, because I ride a bike too, and I didn't see that guy. How are these people in cages missing all these bikes? And I literally just missed one.

I agree with you. Yeah, we share the same opinion on that. All right, next up: you said, and this is a quote, you said you 'did a lot of damage in the club.' Can you elaborate on that?

I can't elaborate on that.

You know what, I'll be honest with you. So I went to Hawaii when I was a junior in high school. All these guys that have grown up together... here I was, all of a sudden, with a bunch of dudes that had grown up since grammar school together, all local boys, and I wasn't accepted. So it wasn't a good experience for me. I mean, I was fighting dudes at the beach, I was fighting dudes on the football fields, I was fighting dudes on the way home from school. And after a couple certain things, you know, I made the football team, I became a starting guard. Once they saw that I was a badass, I became one of them. But the process of being accepted wasn't fun. So from the day I got there, I was plotting... there's not a lot to see. You can see it all in a day or two. It's expensive. No, I don't regret leaving one bit.

You know, if you want to go to Hawaii, my advice is go to the island of Kauai. It's the jungle isle. They shoot movies there. I think... what's the dinosaur movie? Oh, Jurassic... I mean, you know, you got all the same stuff in Hawaii: high-rises, crime, hookers. It's all the same in downtown Honolulu. Nothing's any different. So if you're going to go there, go to Maui or Kauai, somewhere you can enjoy the beaches, the palm trees, the coconuts. But be prepared to bring a good-sized credit card, because you're going to need it over there.

Yes. I'm looking for brotherhood. I'm looking for a guy that's got brethren. I'm looking for a guy that ain't gonna leave me hanging somewhere if shit goes south. You know what I'm saying? I'm looking for a guy that if I need a ride somewhere, he's gonna come get me. You know what, and if the guy can fight, that's an extra. But I'm looking for a brother first of all. You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm looking for. I don't give a fuck. You can be trained to do all the rest of the other shit. You know what I'm saying? I want somebody that's got it right here in their fucking heart: a brotherhood. And that's an asset.

Well, you know what, there's two reasons somebody joins the club. They're looking for brotherhood and they've got it in them, right? Or they're a coward, they're looking for protection. So... looking for why they want to come in, what it's all about. I mean, what they want to do, they want to come in for what? For more girlfriends? I don't know what they're coming for. Some kind of... you know what, I want a guy that's going to come in that wants to be a brother, that wants to offer himself 100% as a brother. Brotherhood is the main thing. I'm not looking for nothing else. Like I said, if the guy can fight, and he ain't... and you know, you don't want no bitch, that's for sure. If the guy can handle himself and he's got all the brotherhood, that's an asset. And that's the kind of people I would look for when I was in the club.

Well, here's what I gotta say to that. So a motorcycle club is made up of men. It's made up of individuals, made up of human beings. I mean, you're only going to get what you get. You're not recruiting perfect people. Most of the guys got issues or they wouldn't be coming into a bike club anyway. So this is what it boils down to: the people you recruit in your club is what your club is gonna be. Do I use the word 'gang'? I've never used it, and I refuse to use it as a motorcycle club. But I can see where maybe law enforcement... but you know, do I refer to a motorcycle club as a gang? No, I refuse to do it. I think it's more of a law enforcement term. But then again, you are who you recruit. You want good, you got to recruit good people, solid people. You've got to have rules and regulations, you've got to do background checks. You got to know what you're doing when you're bringing these people in. And that's what you got to do.

Well, in a real one, I guess so. Let's put it that way. I keep forgetting that I was in the club 40 years ago. I'm talking about when I came... and they gave them out to friends and family and people they like. I don't really... like I said, when I was doing my thing, Mongols support stickers, support shirts, they came from us. That's how they got them. And if you were aware when you got them from us, and you know what, I'll buy you a beer.

That's a terrible... walk when I came in. You know what it was? No, it wasn't no game. And like I said, anybody wearing a support shirt, that's important. The Mongols Motorcycle Club back in my day... I think that was a question, right? Back in my day, yeah. If they were wearing that shirt, they were one, they were close to us, and I'm more or less connected to somebody in the chapter almost 100% sure if they're wearing that shirt. So I would probably know them if they had that shirt on back in my day. And like I said, I'd buy them another beer. Not only that, but I'd have their back in a bar. And they better have mine too if they're wearing that shirt. Absolutely.

You know, there's a couple different kinds of people. There's people that maybe go to the church to hide. There's people that go to church because they're believers. I think on the yard, we were on the yard, we all knew which ones were which. And the ones that were true believers, we were accepted as believers. And yeah, you know who's who, why they're there.

Okay, let me count: one, two, three... you know what, hey, I'm gonna tell you this: I'm happily married. I got respect from my wife. She's my partner, she's my life partner. And that's something I wouldn't even want to comment on. I just won't go there, out of respect for my wife and all the females that are watching this. I'm not going to comment on that.

Yes.

No.

Well, you know, I think a tattoo is a representation of what's most important to the individual. Some guys get their babies' names on them, some guys get their wife's name tattooed on their chest. I've got my wife's name tattooed on me. 100% loyal to a motorcycle club, you know, they're gonna want a tattoo that brands the motorcycle club insignia on them to show their loyalty. So maybe your dad had a little something going on with that thought. Yeah, I think the guys, sailors, branded their loyalty to the country by putting the name of their ship on them, or loyalty to their wives by their names. Maybe they thought they weren't coming back from the service. You know, I guess tattoos represent what you're loyal to, and you want to mark them on your body and show everybody what your loyalties are.

Well, you know what, I'm not a face tattoo guy. I still need to earn a living for my family. I need to go out in public, and I draw enough attention as it is. I don't need any tattoos on my face. I'm thinking maybe the guy that has a tattoo on his face is self-employed or inherited a lot of money. Maybe he's not worried about anything else. But me personally, I'm not a face tattoo fan.

Yes.

You know, I'm gonna tell you: I think about that incident often in my head. Do I regret taking a human life? I do. I wish there was another way around it. But at the time, it was necessary. At the time, it was a necessary thing for the Mongols to do, a necessary thing for me to do. And it had to be done. It was just necessary. It had to be done. So do I regret taking a life? I do.

You know, I think we're good on the questions. I'm happy with everything. I just want everybody that's watching this to know that, hey, I don't bullshit at everybody. I tell a bunch of lies? I'm going to tell you how it is. This is all my opinion. My ex-club, the club that I was in, I respect those guys. I had a lot of good times. But this is my opinion. This is Scott Junior Erickson talking, and that's all. This is not the Mongols, this is me talking. And I'm good with the questions. I just hope I answered everybody's questions as I would answer them. And that's what I'm doing.

You know what, dude, I'm gonna tell you right now: I'm fucking sick and tired of people asking me about this shit. You know what? How many times do I gotta fucking say it? I'm tired of answering it. You know what? I don't want to talk about it. I'm not going to talk about it. Okay.
