The Story Behind the Tankard

Milo received the tankard on his 18th birthday, given to him by his stepfather. This item is more than just a drinkware piece; it represents a bond within their family’s motorcycle club. Each member has their personalized version of the tankard, making it a significant family heirloom. Milo described its emotional importance, stating that it stood as “kind of a medal” indicating the strength of their family connection.
