Motorcycle Product News, January 2008

“To get your hands on this edgy title, go to motorbooks.com.”



Product Description

There comes a time in every mans life where he has to decide whether to conform or break out. Ninety-nine percent of us choose to accept the constraints imposed by society. The rest become outlaws. And for this one percent--those who set their own standards, follow their own values, pursue their own esthetic--the outlaw motorcyclist community offers sanctuary.

Motorcyclists have always been outlaws to some extent, just by choosing such a dangerous and flamboyant sport. But the one percenters live the outlaw life 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

One Percenter: The Legend of The Outlaw Bikers tells the story of this rebellion without a cause--other than freedom and living to the extreme. From the earliest days of the subculture--when World War II veterans began forming early motorcycle clubs--to modern times; this is the real-life account of the wild ones, who one-by-one made their own world.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible book, November 23, 2007
This book is absolutely ridiculous. In between the 30 year old pictures, it pretends to offer information about the world of one percenter motorcyclists. If the guy on the cover ever has the misfortune of meeting some real 1%er club members, he will wonder what possessed him to get a one percent design tattooed on his wannabe hide. The book is silly and was written by somebody who's never been a 1%er himself. Don't bother.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, November 14, 2007
This book really doesn't give you any insight into the world of 1%er's. I think that at least 75% of the information I have read in other books, another 20% has nothing at all to do with bikers and I'll be nice and say that 5% of the information has to do with the biker lifestyle.

The name of the book is really misleading. I was truly disappointed.
