blewaway5 0 #3 February 14, 2003 I read his autobiography, and I must admit, based on that and other slightly less biased sources he is one tough son of a bitch, even as old as he is now. In all honesty, I probably would have liked him quite a bit. Most of the time. The times I wouldn't have liked him, though, would not have been trivial misunderstandings they would have been major problems. Having said all that I would sell my freakin' soul to the lowest bidder if it meant I could own a bike he built. Talent is an understatement.

QuickDraw 0 #4 February 14, 2003 Just don't like HA full stop. A few of my mates have had a kicking off of them, and me also, although i could easily have dusted the two of them on my own, it was their gig and there were plenty more watching. I had to pretend they were hurting me...how sad is that ? -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #7 February 14, 2003 QuoteSonny Barger was the founding father of the Hells Angels. That is not accurate. While Sonny has been a member of the 81 for over 30 years, the organization was started after WWII by bored ex-fighter and bomber pilots who needed other ways to get their rocks off. It wasn't until the late 60's, though, that anyone started talking about them. Sonny was a local president, then later California state president of the club back then. He appeared in several biker exploitation movies done on the club in the 60's and early 70's. In person nowadays, he is great to talk to. He travels around a lot now and hits the bike show circuit and does book signings. I believe he is also a principal in Rich Products, makers of the Thunderheader brand of aftermarket Harley pipes.

Dumpster 0 #8 February 14, 2003 Yes you are right- I stand corrected - Now that you mention the history it all came back to me! Was it at Hollister the term "1%er" was coined? Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuickDraw 0 #9 February 14, 2003 Just blasting a bike up and down a strip of land, they told me to stop blasting up and down that strip of land,...so to the letter..i did.... ...and started on another bit. Then they got all righteous on me and started swinging arms and stuff, out of about 12 punches (between them) thrown, only one connected..on my ear, which stung for a few minutes. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #10 February 14, 2003 The term 1%er came from the guys who rode "outlaw", which is to say in one of the 1 percent of clubs that were not registerd with the AMA. Unless you were a registered member of the AMA you could not compete in any sanctioned races. No problem; they just started having "outlaw" races with much fewer rules. The more "fringe" type of biker would show up, party, and race at those events. The terms "outlaw" and 1%er then began to be used to describe the clubs those people started and were members of; those that didn't give a shit what the AMA thought. Of note here: The Yonkers MC, located just across the Tappanzie bridge in New York (eight miles from the Rockland County chapter of the Wingmen MC), is the oldest AMA club still operating continuously. Yonkers carries itself MUCH differently nowadays than did their forefathers. Chuck WFFW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #13 February 14, 2003 I used to sing in a band at a Pagan bar. Got along really well with the guys, was involved in a few fights (on their side) and had a pretty good time. Some of the shit they were into was pretty questionable, but for the most part they just wanted to live their life style and be left alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuickDraw 0 #14 February 14, 2003 It has been anoying me for about half an hour, but i was pretty sure the term 1%er came from the AMA... but it was more to do with the "Lawless 1%" I found this snippet from SFGate.com Quote the American Motorcycle Association would complain that the outlaws were barely 1 percent of all motorcycle enthusiasts giving the 99 percent a bad name. That led some motorcyclists to describe themselves as "99 percenters, " while others, including Barger, tattooed their arms with a defiant "1%." Just noticed your WFFW which reminded me of AFFA which ties in with the thread nicely. But begs the question...what would a freeflier put ?
