one percenter motorcycle clubs so we're gonna see uh the guy's name is arlo singh pandora so he's

demons follow our second page the sose the ghost page and let's get into it so we're going to start
from number 15 and work our way down the term one percenter was actually coined by the ama
the ama American motorcycle association held a motorcycle rally in 1947 in Hollister California
hooliganism that's a funny word and violence occurred and the ama then said
99 of the motorcycling public are law abiding they are one percent who are not the one percent
patch and one percent a term as a motorcycle club subculture came to stand thereafter so we
know that to be true we know that to be a true statement so he's definitely right on number 15.
number 14 one percenters do not follow ama rules but coin their own a one percent of mc does not
affiliate itself with the ama but has a strict code of conduct for its members which may differ
from club to club some are more generic like how can you never touch the patch of a one percentage
jacket even accidentally another rule is that one genetic brother of a member or the members
of the mc can call each other bro or brother this one right here is definitely true uh one
percenters don't follow any ama rules you only as a one percenter you only follow the rules of your
club not the laws of the nation none of that so the way i feel about this bro brother thing
is a 50 50. you got your people that use it as lingo and we'll just be like yeah what up bro this
bro that whatever and then there's the the small population of people that would be like don't call
me bro i don't consider you a brother whatever i don't really see that go on too much but i figure
if you're not in a club and you just come up and you're speaking like you know your family
they will check you depending on who you are so there is validity in that number 13
they usually ride harley davidsons most of the friendlier motorcycle clubs are all about riding
and just about any kind of motorcycles are allowed in them but almost all of the one percenters want
badass harley davidson riders only so any other motorcycle owning wannabe will not be allowed
while this may be a dated concept back in the good old days it was considered unamerican to ride
anything but a harley so on that note we know that it is true most one percenters usually ride harley
davidson's but it is not as strict as it used to be you got one percentage that ride that dark
horse they really like the indians you got someone percentage that rob victories there was a whole
victory versus harley davidson thing back in the days that you know brothers will argue like you
know brothers have victories will argue and be like nah victory is better or whatever
you know a lot of clubs are american made bike it doesn't have to be a harley but then again there
are traditional clubs that are harley davidson only so it just really depends on where you're
living what club you're dealing with number 12 a very important one being an mc outlaw
does not mean being a criminal while many one percent of mcs are under the scanner of the law
enforcement mostly because some of the members do indulge in the shady side of the business being a
one percenter doesn't automatically mean you break the law the majority of members of one percent of
clubs do not have a record and often have roots stretching back to active duty and armed forces so
we gotta give this guy a lot of credit because i mean and i want to give a big shout to him
for even saying that because this is the truth a lot of 1 percenters have jobs
have businesses it is not a criminal organization if you join a club you don't sit at the table and
then they talk about hijacking trucks and stuff like that that is sons of anarchy mentality stuff
that is not how it works now do fights and stuff break out and it turns into stuff that they use as
ricohs because a lot of people got the same patch on in different states yes but it's not a criminal
organization it's not you know we sit down and we break bread and we make millions of dollars
so i got a lot of respect for this article because this is the first time i've seen
that they actually speak on the one percenters and say no you you could actually have a job
and be a one percenter like you got people on youtube putting out videos that are so caught
in the culture and they don't even do that they make it seem like you know it's just a criminal
organization but still they want to be down at the same time the truth is people they're just
regular people like everybody else everybody works everybody got their business if you're if you're a
dude that hustles yeah you that's what you do but it's not a criminal enterprise number 11 many of
them are associated with charities to improve upon their image or simply from the goodness
of their hearts many one percenters offer certain charities ngos and even take part in fundraising
events for example hell's angels often hold toy drives along with a lot of other clubs because
you know people only name the hell's angels when they're talking about you know any major outlaw
type of thing so it's all type of one percentage that do that wherein they donate toys to kids in
underprivileged neighborhoods others stand against child endangerment and animal cruelty so they may
be bad bikers but prove to be big hardest softies many a time so there's a lot of truth in this you
know and a lot of people might think like oh it's to clean up the image and stuff like that the real
truth is you'll have your support clubs sometimes it'll be female support clubs it could be males
too that come up with ideas for the community and the ones back up their support club a lot of times
that's what it is it's not that they're like trying to whitewash money or you know it's not
that they're trying to loan the money or you know you know get favors or whatever or just look good
in the community it's just legitimate like they just want to help people out in the neighborhood
shout to niner from the mongols m3 you know he got his moving out there in las vegas he does that
all the time number 10 all one percent is a male member only many being all white many friendly
motorcycle clubs allow both male and female riders as members also have no issues with any
kind of race or nationality but one percenters are pretty clear about being male members only
and have specific rules and regulations about race and color as well mcs are usually only
white only hispanic and only african-american the times have changed but the one percenters haven't
uh there's truth in it and then there's not truth in it because a lot of these clubs from back in
the days that didn't allow certain races are allowing them shout to the chosen few they've
always intermingled uh there's a lot of clubs that are white and hispanic but you know there's like
clubs that are black that don't allow white white that don't allow black those all stem from bylaws
that come from you know the period of time in this country where people have to understand
you know it was it was a lot of racial tension so you know i get it you know it's time for a
change maybe but that's their decision number nine women still flocked to them
even as property the women who are part of one percent of motorcycle clubs exist as the wives
or girlfriends of mc members or sometimes even groupies the wives and girlfriends can wear the mc
jacket and patches but their jackets say property of followed by the name of the member who they
are married to or in a relationship with groupies don't have the same rights and women will always
be second-class citizens in the emcee so that's not true they're not second-class citizens in
the emcee they are not in an emcee because when you're in a one percent emcee it is a men's club
so they're not considered second-class citizens they're just not members of the club so when
they wear that cut we got videos out you know one percent of old lady where we really break
those down if you haven't seen those we get into that more in depth i will link that down
number eight they wear a special diamond shaped patch the patches they wear display the name and
logo of the mc and the chapter city or state it is from many if not all one percenters also wear a
diamond shaped patch that says one percent to show their pride and their existence in case the patch
has a 13 on it it signifies a support group of a one percent of mc but if you see a one percenter
tattoo the meaning is a lot darker and deadlier so that is not true because there are one percenters
that wear the 13 patch standing for mother standing for other things that i can't get into
because i don't i never get into you know like the prison politics stuff on the show but there's
truth to what he said but to 13 diamond is not always it's also one by one percentage it is worn
by support clubs but it is also won by one percent number seven members have to ride a lot to belong
one of the major rules of any one percent of club along with having a harley davidson and being of
a certain race and color is that each member has to ride for a set number of miles every year to
keep belonging to that mc if the mc is grouping up for a ride all members have to attend and remember
ultimately any mc is about motorcycles so basic and even expert level knowledge about motorcycles
is a given so this is the way it's supposed to be and you know there are clubs that are
like this but then you got certain diamond clubs that got members that don't own a bike
for long periods of time they're running around what they cut like they run in the show and don't
even own a bike there's a lot of that that goes on believe it or not you know but traditionally
that's the way it goes and riding a lot listen if you're the type of person that beats your own drum
a one percent club is not for you because there's times where they will really get on your nerves
about certain things that maybe you don't have the time for or you know you're busy with work
or whatever they don't want to hear it they don't care about it and and that's one thing about one
percent clubs it's a big dedication number six the brotherhood has a very clear hierarchy in place
the idea of an emcee is all about brotherhood and being there for each other no matter what
but that is idealistic people say that the bonds between the one percent of mc members have to be
very strong like laying down their lives for each other tough it may not be so but there is
a hierarchy to be followed as well in case of a tiff within the members the senior members say
is always final even mc's have politics in them that is the truth politics berries a lot of
so-called brotherhood i agree with this 100 number five getting into a one percent of mc is tough
there's a rigorous set of hurdles to pass for anyone to be able to belong to one percent of
emcee the wannabe members called prospects are usually chosen with careful background checks
law enforcement is a big no-no and attached to a member the member may ask the prospect to do
anything and if he wants to get into mc he better comply hazing is part and parcel of a one percent
of mc so the hazing aspect is is is definitely a part of some one percent of clubs other one
percent of clubs just want you to put in you know put your head down put your work in as far as the
background checks a lot of clubs is not doing it anymore that is just a brutal honest truth
a lot of the bigger clubs they definitely are big on it constantly kicking people out because
something with paperwork didn't work out but yeah that's that's a problem that a lot of
people just want numbers and they're letting all type of people in and that's why a lot of
people are leaving clubs because of those type of issues number four getting out may well be
impossible you cannot just waltz in and out of a one percenter motorcycle club if any member wants
to leave the group at any time the other members take it as a front and a major rejection even
the old-timers who cannot ride motorcycles anymore tend to have their two wheelers turned into trikes
but choose to stay with their band of bros the only time you retire from a one percent of mc
is when you die or relocate to alaska so we know that's not true it's it's not the mafia
it's not blood and blood out people are jumping from club to club too much these days and you know
you can leave a one percent club it's not you know they're not gonna kill you for leaving the
club a lot of people retire or you know they just work and you know whatever's going on and i'm not
saying that that goes across the board for every single club but there's a lot of people leaving
clubs or just retiring or going to another club it happens a lot number three one percenters are
the most popular mcs around despite all the stigma attached to them the one percent of mcs have the
most fan following these are the mc's men want to be and women still romanticize about wannabe
riders want to join the choice one percent of mcs like hells angels pagans outlaws banditos iron
horsemen mongols etc being bad is still viewed with rose rose-colored glasses oh when it comes
to popularity i think it's more because you know basically it's like 81 been on a lot of movies
and a lot of people that have been on sons of anarchy and chuck zito's and sonny barga and you
know i think it's a lot of that but you got clubs like the rough riders that have more numbers than
every club out here and they're very popular go to all the parties dmx was you know made it famous so
there's there's two sides to that but there is a cool factor to one percent clubs that draws
women in but honestly if you want to be a thousand percent honest i think that a lot of 99s is where
the action is when it comes to females i think that 99 is more the a lot of females around and
stuff like that i think the one percent life is a lot of bars and you know that's why you got like
old ladies around and stuff like that because it's not a active dating scene in my opinion not not
for me not in my opinion not in my experiences i think the 99 scene is more fun more women
that type of vibe number two one percent of mcs have interesting models banditos mc a famous one
percenter has a model that goes we are the people our parents warned us about hell's angels go with
the simple angels forever forever angels and the unspecified one percent of saying is when we do
right no one remembers when we do wrong no one forgets is that a threat a lament or a promise
you decide yeah so every club got their sayings a lot of clubs got sayings that they saw and there's
a lot of biting let's just keep it 1000. there's a lot of clubs you know flipping their numbers
and doing it like the older clubs it's you know there's a lot of followers when when anything
that gets popular you have your people that follow it so there's a lot of that too with the culture
and number one most one percenters love to shock the people around each one percent of mc has a
few tricks up their sleeves to shock and all the audience around including the townsfolk
hell's angels one of the most popular and widely spread one percent of mc greeted each other with
kisses as in brothers peck each other on the lips as a standard greeting if onlook is gas well
that's just icing on top because in a one percent of mc being bad is all good now i have seen
this type of uh shock value type of stuff that's basically what he's talking about
i don't want no dude kissing me on the lips that's just you know off top i'm just gonna say that but
um they not doing it in that type of way you know what i mean but i do i have seen brothers do that
i'm not down for that you know what i mean so let me know what you think about the 15 the top 15 for
this site shout the hot cars for actually saying that one percent is work and have regular jobs
and it's not like the mafia let me know what you think in the comments and thank you for tuning
