What is one percenter meaning?

The term "one-percenter" originated from a statement made by the American Motorcyclist Association in 1947, where they claimed that 99% of motorcycle riders were law-abiding citizens, while the remaining 1% were outlaw bikers.

Since then, the term has been associated with outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs) who identify themselves as part of this 1%. These gangs often engage in criminal activities such as drug trafficking, extortion, and violence. They also have a culture of rebellion, often rejecting societal norms and authority. One-percenter patches or logos are commonly worn by members of these gangs to display their affiliation.

It's important to note that not all motorcycle riders who wear this logo or consider themselves part of this 1% are involved in criminal activities. Some simply embrace the rebellious lifestyle and culture associated with these gangs, without engaging in illegal behavior. However, law enforcement uses the term "one-percenter" to identify individuals and groups who are a significant threat to public safety.
