one percent biker --Biker gangs are the "One Percent&am
The term "One-Percenters" originated from the July 4, 1947 motorcycle rally held in Hollister, California. The rally, which was attended by approximately 4,000, captured media attention after a fight broke out between two motorcycle clubs, the Boozefighters and the Pissed Off Bastards.
Life magazine ran a pictorial series of the annual rally which sparked both fascination and concern about the violent, unruly nature of the growing subculture of motorcycle groups.
he event became known as the "Hollister Riot" although there is no real documentation that an actual riot occurred.
Afterwards, films about motorcycle clubs with members depicting bad behavior began hitting the movie theaters. The WILD ONE, starring Marlon Brando, brought particular attention to gang-type behavior displayed by members of motorcycle clubs.
The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) defended the reputations of its members to the press, stating that 99 percent of bikers are law-abiding citizens, but there's that last "one percent" that are nothing more than "outlaws."
The term caught on and new motorcycle gangs emerged, called the "one-percenters," which included the Hells Angels.
Dave Nichols is author of a new book that pulls back the veil of secrecy surrounding outlaw biker gangs. It describes how they became known as "One Percenters" following the infamous 1947 Hollister motorcycle riot. The American Motorcycle Association issued a press release blaming the violence on a small minority of bikers, saying that "99 percent of motorcycle riders are good citizens."
there is certainly a distinct ring of truth in the old biker motto, that states:
"When we do right, nobody remembers. When we do wrong, nobody forgets!"
