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.
