There comes a time in every man's life when 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. 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, 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 Biker 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.
