This part of the piece on the Minnesota Daily
by Spencer White
Published February 13, 2023
Try to picture a motorcycle club. What comes to mind? Something like a group of overweight, leather-clad, bearded ruffians riding Harley-Davidsons and brandishing chains?
The portrayal of motorcycle clubs in media has been extremely negative for decades. This idea of the biker gang spawns primarily — deserved or not — from the Hells Angels and other one percenter motorcycle clubs.
The term one percenter comes from the aftermath of a 1947 riot in Hollister, California, that happened as a result of the American Motorcyclist Association’s (AMA) annual Gypsy Tour for the Fourth of July.
The small town was flooded with thousands of bikers, and, by the end of the weekend, 49 arrests were made — though they were mostly on non-violent charges like public intoxication and disorderly conduct. There were also some indecent exposure charges, which I imagine mostly came from intoxicated bikers not having the wherewithal to determine that taking a leak on a storefront would be a poor choice.
The subsequent press coverage was…negative, to no one’s surprise. The media ran with the term “riot” to describe the event, even though it seemed more like a party that got a bit out of hand, with little to no violence.
The story goes that the AMA — looking to maintain their image — claimed that at the event, 99% of all motorcyclists were law abiding citizens. So, the groups looking to push a rough and tough image took on the one percenter moniker.
While this story has been recited across plenty of biker forums and websites, whether this statement was ever actually made by the AMA is unclear. Despite this uncertainty, the name stuck.
I should make it clear the Hollister incident does not stand alone in creating the outlaw biker image. Groups like the Hells Angels have been marred by charges of drug trafficking and other, similarly serious, crimes. One percenter groups seem to be, unsurprisingly, fairly familiar with criminal acts and violence.
However, a fairly large number of these one percenters don’t fall into the criminal category — despite seeming to relish in their reputation as outlaws.In fact, the Hells Angels of Minneapolis post fairly regularly on their Instagram account detailing their charitable clothing donations to the Salvation Army and have even raised money to help their members battling cancer.
