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 a with the 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.
