These dudes are like a pack of hens....
anreee20 December 2019
It's entertaining as in their stupidity, unsafe riding, mishaps, CONSTANT bickering, dumb ideas, and just a group of egotistical men then they add in Gary busey later in the series which just adds to the crazy. I would only recommend it to ppl who like itchy reality series like the Real Housewives or The Bachelor.

Mildly Entertaining
suvoth1 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I was bored, nothing to watch so I checked this out since I ride. It was honestly like a few men who would never be MC material try to start an MC...kinda in a way that was like trying to start a boy band. The dude who does the poetry is the best dude on the show. I was honestly more worried about the dachshund in the final episode (which I came here first to find out and no one had said anything)..for all this wanting to come here to find out, the dog is okay! Phew. Yeah...they should ride with friends and leave it. Except poetry dude, he could be MC I think lol. Fav character.

Only watch the one episode (3) check my review there if you wish.... Absolute crap. 5 out of 10 because of the bikes otherwise 2 out of 10 without bikes and that only because it does have picture and sound.

Should be called Fake MC
monhalaws28 February 2020
Watched the whole series and it's terrible. A group of yuppie middle aged business men who constantly argue and fight among themselves like morons. It's a total production piece focused on a fake riding club that later decide they want to become a motorcycle club but are totally clueless. it's really a Hells Angels MC promotional tool. If you've seen the reality TV show on Discovery called The Devils Ride and noticed how fake it was and also featured Hells Angels then this "Docuseries" is along that same line. If you like to watch grown men childishly argue, recklessly drive motorcycles and act like clueless morons then this is for you. 1 star because there is no 0 star rating

Set up, fake, staged, poor production, lazily made.
kunning_stunt17 June 2020
This was so bad, I actually had to register with IMDB and review this.This made me cringe so much from the beginning. Its basically a load of old guys that live in different states over the USA. They get together for rides. OK, seems OK so far? Then it all goes wrong. Its completely staged. Each scene seems to have been semi scripted. There are "arguments" , stupid riding etiquette, interactions with embarrassed (to be associated with this) looking Hells Angels and police. One of the first real MC's that this bunch of cockwombles come in to contact with, calls them out for exactly what they are "A bunch of wanna-be's" Then there is the general obnoxiousness, of these deluded granddads, they are trying to behave how they think a bike club should be, but totally get it wrong. They are put straight a few times by real MC's but its clear that they are just a laughable bunch of bafoons. Their utter lack of respect for each other and everything they touch is just appalling. The first episode shows a chance meeting at a gas station that leads them to a, pub which they don't know is a Hells Angles bar. Lucky the cameras were set up in the right direction and were able to film the Angles arrive.... Just as one of the "Icecream men from hell" (yes that's their name, lol) Has a Hells Angels poster in his hand... I lost the blood flow in my hands cringing so hard at the awkward staged interaction.

The whole thing is just a clumsy embarrassment. Sometimes you can watch something that you don't agree with, or is bad and enjoy the entertainment but this is just so lame and embarrassing, don't do it!!!!

Not Even Close to MC Life and Just a Bunch of Whining RUBs
TriggerPullerUSMC6 April 2020
I am stuck here in WFH mode during this COVID19 thing and a brother who knows me said hey man, I know you like to be mad all the time, so check this show out and let me know how it works for you. Boy was he right. Honest to God, were I involved in this project I'd hire the best attorneys and demand they blur out my face in every scene. Tom Baker is honestly one of the most disagreeable people I have seen on TV and if there was a man in the group they'd have smashed him in his mouth and left him on the side of the road. He also sort of personifies the kind of scumbag who should not be allowed to carry a sidearm. He is unsafe, treats it like a 10 yr old that just found pops gun and is not mature enough to be around a loaded weapon. just an awful spectacle...

Cringy, cringy, cringy
rosecalifornia29 July 2020
Only watch if you want to just wince from how cringy these guys are.

Yes, they are a pack of wannabes that some how got the money and backing to set this mess up.

There is more drama than the Days of Our Lives soap opera....and the cringy part... how excited they were to suck the exhaust of a real MC - and kid themselves they were riding with them.

Yikes.

Wanna Be "MC" Tuff Guys make fools of themselves
jmakary4 November 2021
I've watched this show in a couple different sittings, and found each time that I was caught off guard and surprised by the foolish behavior, the dangerously bad riding, and the boorish and uninteresting "main character" Baker.

A couple of these guys did seem pretty cool, the poet Big Tom, the truck mechanic, and maybe one or two other guys.

The Hells Angels I am surprised they agreed to even be featured on this show- but I thought the President seemed like a cool guy, and the Hells Angels were honestly the most reasonable level headed people on the whole show.

The "Ice Cream Men from Hell" wanted to find out if they could keep up and stay up, and found they could do neither. They chose to clown around instead of ride, and in doing so showed their true, albeit fake, colors.

Their clear unfamiliarity with firearms shows it's ugly head several times while they "play with guns" and put their complete lack of skill on full display. Baker has a negligent discharge nearly blow his head off early on in the show, but not to be outdone, proceeds to fire his handgun without a backstop down into a reservation with zero regard for anyone who may have been down below.

The fake MC finds out quick that they can barely manage to keep their bikes on the road, I'm honestly surprised none of them died, for how often they are seen dumping their bikes and almost slamming into oncoming traffic.

To their credit- when a real MC rightfully would have cut their stupid ice cream patches off, they kind of got the message. I do not understand why they didn't take the patches off immediately, or why they even wore them in the first place. Even if you don't know anything about MC's, which I certainly don't claim to have any special knowledge of... you kind of just know that's a really bad idea to be a fake poser in that circle.

The other thing is... how many fake staged scenes can they have before it stops being a documentary? The Tropicana Girls? Gary Busey? The fake cop arresting him? How much of this show is out and out fabricated?

You wouldn't catch me dead riding with these clowns.

The Annual Florence Prison Run is traditionally held in February. Arizona Bike Week is traditionally held in April. This was a one week ride...so how did the group attend both in one week?

As Stupid As Can Be!
helpfuldynamics23 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I watched all 7 episodes in order to give this series a fair review. I wish I hadn't wasted my time, so I'll just let everyone know that this is as stupid a series as I've ever seen.

These guys are completely disorganized in every way. Most of them struggle to ride their bikes in formation resulting in accidents that are completely preventable. The organizer and leader of this band of idiots makes dangerous road decisions and almost blows his own face off with a handgun.

At one point they meet up with a small group of Hells Angels who end up laughing at them and leaving them behind. Gary Busey joins in near the end of the series and his unstable mentality (and motorcycling skills) fits in perfectly.

Former NFL star Brian Bosworth also tags along on the final ride to the Grand Canyon, his calm demeanour brings a touch of sanity to the entire series. If I could do it again I wouldn't bother watching a single episode. It was that bad.

Fake tacky trash
jamesbowdenj8 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Don't waste any time or effort on this one. It is uncomfortable to watch due to the incredible cheesiness and obnoxious behavior. It is a staged "documentary" of overweight men pretending to be tough guy bikers. But not like cool tough guy bikers. Like dudes that were nerds and didn't have any friends their whole lives, like dudes that nobody likes not because they are scary or harsh, but because they are dull and no one can stand to be around them. Somehow they got Gary Busey to be on the show for a bit.....very authentic watching him get "arrested". I'm confused as to how this was ever made into a show. It'd be more authentic to watch these guys at home playing golf and giving tough guys talks to their unimpressed wives or exhausted neighbors. Being fat and greasy doesn't make you tough, it just makes you gross. The main character the Baker guy looks like he probably parks his bike at the mall on Saturdays and hits on teens at the Hot Topic. I feel bad for the kids of these guys, that must have been a dull childhood. Can you imagine getting to the last act of your life having accomplished nothing worthwhile and trying to all of a sudden become a notorious outlaw biker. They should go back to the suburbs and do spend more time at the supermarket and the golf course, maybe save t he tough guy acts for a quiet local bar with other losers of the same genre.

Clowns
barnboy-2108324 May 2022
So much false information. Starting with the first mc. Yonkers and McCook both predate the information spoken in this show. Not one of the clowns in this show embodies what an mc actually is. I seriously don't see how one can consider this a docuseries given that most documentaries are fact based.

Worst made Docuseries ever
blount162318 June 2022
Don't know why I watched the whole thing but I did. I'm not in a MC but I know guys who are and these clowns would not even make it past the first stage of "hang around". You wanna ride bikes with your friends cool. But don't try to get involved in a subculture that doesn't play when it comes to the rules required to wear a MC patch. The "leader" is also the creator and executive producer and yet still comes off very unlikable. Oh BTW they ride with some members of the Hells Angels. They bring it up every episode like it's the highlight of their entire lives. You wanna ride motorcycles with your friends that's your right. However you want to put a MC on your back you need to be very careful. These guys do not measure up. Stick with the weekend warrior stuff guys.

WTF
darwinslaughter9 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This show is beyond silly. They ride for 15 minutes and complain for 45. Actually, it is basically Real Housewives on two wheels. Including Bosworth and Busey added the only sanity to the show...if you can imagine that. The best reason to watch is to get a real insight into what NOT to do on a bike. They are incredibly unsafe in how they ride, they don't wear the best protective gear, like a good helmet, and certainly should not have a gun along considering how Baker handles his. I ride with a club and safety is foremost in our ride planning. We ride a stagger formation allowing us room to see ahead and avoid problems. And, yes, we often ride fast, which doesn't mean unsafe. I also carry concealed and train often. Another point...I like a brew, but not while riding. Like I said...a great program to learn what not to do.

Terrible
tonysartorelli20 August 2022
The "M. C." in the title doesn't stand for Motorcycle Club, it's stands for Midlife Crisis. 17 middle aged guys making asses of themselves all over Arizona.

Ice cream men from hell - pathetic!
The character Baker is loud, extremely reckless and basically an Ahole who leads this group of bikers that want to form an M. C. With the exception of a ride with the hells angels it is just a train wreck!

Watched the Prison Run
celt0074 August 2020
I don't get it . I find this biker stuff dumb . But maybe I'm dumb . Kinda boring , and don't get the point of riding a bike from point a to point b . Rather rise a horse or go camping and fishing .

If "Wild Hogs" was a "reality" show
waywarddrifters12 January 2023
I lasted 20 minutes and had to give up. The staging, scripting, and overdubbing is outmatched only by the unsympathetic "creamers." Anyone who sees this and thinks this is how the MC game is played is in for a rude awakening. If some noob were to see this and carry themselves the same way in real life, they'd likely get hurt real bad.

The shooting scene near the beginning is laughable, and their run-ins with real MC's (set up or not) says everything anyone with an IQ above room temperature would need to know. If you want a laugh at some semi-scripted, poorly designed, and sometimes poorly overdubbed "reality" tv, you might find this worthy of a watch. Anyone else, stay clear!
