ORIGINAL: Domestic Violence

a "1%'er" HISTORICALLY was a motorcyclist who DID NOT represent the "99% of 'nice' or 'good' law abiding motorcyclists" that the AMA spoke about after a rally.

now- 1% groups will try to pull the wool over your eyes and lead you to believe that theyre decent, upstanding and misunderstood guys who ride bikes.... bullshlt. the Warlocks, Hells Angels, Tribe, Banditos, Wheels of Soul (and a bunch of others) are still involved in motorcycle theft, drug distribution, prostitution, illegal guns, bombs (yes, bomb making) and just about any other criminal enterprise you can think of.

the only GOOD thing i can say about the 1%ers is that they really only mess with other 1%ers. its not often at all that they terrorize the general public. helll, they most even give law enforcement a higher level of respect.... but theyre still no good.

and a 1%er is a 1%er for life.
Sorry man, I just have to disagree. Knowing quite a few of these so called 1%'s I do not find them to be nearly as outlandish and nutty as you are saying. Just because they don't like to live by societie's rules does not automatically make them bad.

I have a feeling your a LEO and from your dealings you have experienced some serious stuff. I resepect that, but lumping every 1%'r into a group is indeed what they are fleeing from.

Maybe a little off subject here but, I had a flat tire in yellowstone park at Tower Jct. headed for the 50th Sturgis. The 2 people who tried to help, gave me a bottle of fixaflat were Hells Angles. I knew the clubs reputation, but these 2 big guys really did try to help me out. I will never forget it.

Many clubs are good. Just people with common interests that come together. No different, really from any other type of club.

A 1%er is the one percent of us that are lawless, Godless, immoral, thugs. (And proud to inentify themselves as such) The other 99% are, supposedly, semi-normal.

Keep asking-nothing wrong with that
I object to "Godless"

I feel strongly offended!!

What the heck is against being Godless?

The funnest night I ever had at a club was a Strip Joint in Fairbanks Alaska. There were probably 5-6 of us GI's and probably 20-30 Hell's Angels. Those girls made a TON of money that night and I don't think I bought a single drink after I bought 4 pitchers and had them sent over to those Nasty 1%'s.

I don't believe your and some of the others reactions to what I said. They are 1% because they are not like 99% of us. They were always a bunch rotten of thugs. That's what made them 1%ers in the first place. If you or any other "1%ers" are not what I described, then you are not a 1%er at all!! Perhaps they are wannabees. They are not called 1%ers because they are a gang of Mother Theresas, for God's sake. Why don't we think a little before we have a knee jerk reaction? Geeeezzzzz

I have to take exception to your 1%er generalization. I'll bet there are more criminals and thugs in the 99% than there are in the 1%.

Here we go again.. net-testosterone at its best.

I dont understand the responses, threads of this genre, provoke. Most claim to know the answers. Others get offended. Sheeit... I love when someone acts all macho on the net. It makes me laugh. How about a little reality check. No one gives a sheeit who you think you are. Myself included. Wether you like it or not.. here and now.. we're just a bunch of people with a bike, pc and time to waste.

I guess my rant is over. Go ahead, get offended and reply to your hearts content. I can promise you, no ones reply will make any difference to the facts I pointed out. Think about it!

P.S. This wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. It seems to be a wave of ego flying around lately. Lets not ruin a good thing.

I have to disagree too. Do you actually know or have you actually ridden with any of these folks? If not, be careful about the generalization. I do and I have, and they're some of the most stand up, brutally honest, guys you'd ever want to have your back. They'd give you the shirt off their back, their last bike part, or their last beer if you needed it, unlike most of the supposedly 99% of folks out there. Speak not of what you don't know or understand.
