The Hidden Cost of Being a Support Club When It’s Time to Walk Away

Welcome back to Black Dragon Biker TV! Today we're tackling a topic that's quiet in public but loud in private conversations: the real responsibilities—and dangers—of being a support club to a 1%er dominant.A lot of clubs jump into support status thinking it's just colors, rides, and respect. But once you're in, the rules change. Mandatory runs (show up or pay fines). Hidden fees (dues to the dominant, event "contributions"). And sometimes you're expected to back the dominant in situations that cross lines—shady deals, conflicts, even violence you never signed up for.

We've heard stories:

• Support clubs forced to ride into rival territory during wars they had no part in starting.
• Restricted from riding certain roads or attending events because "it's hot right now."
• One club told: "Back us up or lose your colors"—putting freedom and safety on the line.

Then comes the hardest part: leaving.

When a support club decides the cost is too high and wants to go independent, the dominant often doesn't let go easy. Threats, intimidation, forced "talks," or worse. Striking out on your own can turn dangerous fast.

Is this the price of "earning respect"? Or has the support system become something it wasn't meant to be?

Today we'll discuss:

• What support really means in 2026.
• The unspoken rules and risks.
• How clubs navigate leaving without burning bridges—or getting burned.

If you've lived this—support club, dominant, or independent—call in. What's your take?This is Black Dragon Biker TV—real talk, no filter. Let's ride into it.
