Buffalo Soldiers MC chapters in Tennessee Founded:In December 2009. Contact information: Contact information: Contact information: 1% club: The genesis of this phrase dates back to the famous1947 Hollister riot. Allegedly, the AMA (American Motorcycle Association) had commented that 99% of motorcycle riders were citizens who conformed to the law and that only 1% were outlaws (not to be confused with Outlaws Motorcycle Club). Many motorcycle clubs that have been associated with organized crime and have had run-ins with law enforcement agencies use the 1% diamond patch and are commonly referred to as the one percenter motorcycle club (also called an outlaw biker group);More about this here. Some popular 1% clubs are Outlaws MC (a very dominant club), Hells Angels (the main rival group of the outlaws), Pagan Motorcycle Club, and Black Pistons MC. MC (Motorcycle Club): The term Motorcycle Club (MC) does carry a meaning outside and beyond the usual English definition of it. It is a popular term in the Outlaw and 1% motorcycling subculture, where it is often used by motorcycling clubs which have had a history of organized crime. Such clubs (MCs) often denote these by wearing what are called colors — essentially a 3-piece patchwork. However, not all motorcycling clubs that use the termMCare necessarily Outlaw motorcycle clubs or 1% clubs. But it wouldn’t be wrong to say that all dangerous biker gangs are one percenter. Harleys: It goes with saying that most riders in various clubs swear by their Harley Davidson Motorcycle or a custom chopper. Harley David Motorcycles enjoy a disproportionately high popularity among MC riders who, in mainstream culture, are known to promote the use of cruiser motorcycles.Sons Of God MC Cookeville Chapter
