The 1%er OMG • At the end of World War II soldiers returned home and had trouble adjusting to “normal” Civilian life. • Some formed gangs and banded together. They had names like the “Market Street Commandos” and the “Pissed Off Bastards of Bloomington” or “POBOB’S”. 13

1 %er Cont’d • In 1947 there was an American Motorcycle Association (AMA) motorcycle rally held in Hollister, California. • Hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts attended - including the POBOB’s. • During the event an incident occurred which ended up in a riot.

14

Birth of the 1%er • After the riot the President of the AMA stated that 99% of the people here were law abiding citizens it was ONLY 1% that were outside the law. The local Sherriff went on to say that they were nothing but “outlaws”. • The gang members immediately grasped onto these monikers and proudly maintain them to this day. 15

1%er – More Than a Patch • This ideal and accompanying symbol is the focus or standard by which 1% motorcycle clubs live by. • It is “akin to a religion or vocation”. It is literally the way they live their life. • The symbol is displayed on their clothing, belts, jewellery and even their bodies. 16

“do you think you uh are gonna be in any danger at all…no I don’t think say either it’s a code of honour of the society we live in that uh old ladies and 20 children aren’t to be molested or bothered….”

Q: Does 1% mean there are NO Rules?

Good day brothers, Probationary Bandido Taz here from Manitoba Canada. I am just hearing about a problem with Toronto.

We are in the middle of the othersides exclusive area and have had to earn our status here in Manitoba. We have developed a support club and are growing here. The day I became part of this family was a great honour for me and my crew. I hope that we can work together to remedy this situation. If you wish to contact me my number is 1-204-226-2191 Also Bandido Wayne "W" would like someone thier to call him. He is in London, Ontario 1-519-702-1641. Much LOVE, LOYALTY, and RESPECT! 71
