one-percenter
A "one-percenter" refers to a member of a motorcycle club that identifies as part of the 1% of riders who engage in outlaw behavior. This term originated from a statement made by the American Motorcyclist Association, which claimed that 99% of motorcyclists are law-abiding citizens. The remaining 1% are often associated with criminal activities and a rebellious lifestyle.
One-percenters typically belong to motorcycle clubs that have a distinct culture, often characterized by their unique patches, codes of conduct, and strong camaraderie. Clubs like the Hells Angels and Outlaws are well-known examples of one-percenter organizations, which often emphasize loyalty, brotherhood, and a rejection of mainstream society.
