ME, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Maybe, whatever newspaper published the thank you letter should have corrected the spelling and grammar errors. But, the link the OP posted was to the Brother Speed MC webpage. I certainly don't expect to see perfect spelling and grammar on a MC's webpage. What errors there may be are not so bad that you can't understand the meaning of what is written. I just don't get why people come to a motorcycle forum and think they need to go around correcting peoples spelling. This isn't English class. I can only guess that it makes them feel superior in some way, and they are compensating for their own shortcommings in other areas. I could be wrong.

Mostly I remember ratty bikes, shedding parts going across the RR tracks, and one prospect not liking the way I ate egg-fried rice and dill pickle chips as a pre-hangover cure after tying one on in The Hub bar in downtown IF.

We don't use the word "outlaw" club. Only law enforcement and the media use that terminology, like an "OMG"(outlaw motorcycle gang). That's laughable as we would never refer to ourselves as that. To me an "Outlaw" means just that. A member of the Outlaws and nothing else.
Ya can't come in here and spill all those secrets. Next thing ya know people will start actually thinking MCs have actual human beings in them. Then what're we gonna do for fun?

And as I wrote, that law enforcement considers 1% er's to be outlaw bikers.
I also said as I have read it.
I was answering a perfectly honest question as no one else would.
So the be technically accurate please sir, explain what exactly is a 1% er.
I would like to be educated myself since what I wrote is what I have read on the subject and if it is wrong I would like to know the truth.
Im not here to be in a pissing match, not to make anyone mad, just to learn the facts and nothing but the facts.

The 1%'er designation grew out of an alleged comment by the AMA following the Hollister "riot" that 99% of all bikers were good, decent, people. Thus outlaw clubs and others took on the 1% designation.

Wow. Chill man. We're just talking here. AMA Sanctioned MC's for racing. If you weren't sanctioned by AMA, you were "Outlaw". 1%'ers are 1%'ers because they choose to be.

And as far as chill, im cool, never was heated, thats whats wrong with the internet, you thought I was getting heated when I wasnt.
All I had to go by was the propaganga media definition, so you have given a much better description of the definition and for that, Now we know the rest of the story!
