The Boozefighters were the original 1%ers. It was after the 1947 Hollister incident that the term was coined by the AMA. Outlaw motorcycle clubs were also named as those that raced or hosted races without AMA sanctioning. So, to say that the Boozefighters were never one of these is somewhat misleading. By modern terms / definition Boozefighters might not be 1%ers or "outlaws", but they do wear a multi-piece patch and have prospects and enjoy the freedom of the road. |

Being that I am with the Boozefighters, and have interviewed the originals extensively, I can say beyond any doubt that The Boozefighters, both original and current have never been nor will ever be 1%ers. The term 1% was not coined at Hollister, but later on. |

The addition of recent material regarding the current Boozefighters organization is both unsubstantiated and unencyclopedic. These changes have been reverted, but more thoughtful and referenced changes to support the assertions made can be done. Thanks! [[User:Mmoyer|Mmoyer]] 17:19, 18 June 2007 (UTC) |

:Seeing that the material comes from both the national web site and the book, do you want to be more specific as to what you are talking about? [[User:Rsm99833|Rsm99833]] 17:41, 26 June 2007 (UTC) |
