From the popularity of cable television shows concerning building choppers or the criminal aspects of the motorcycle gang lifestyle, to the phenomenal success of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company, no one can deny America has become fascinated with bikers and the machines they love. Author Dave Spurgeon provides a firsthand look into the world of the Harley enthusiast and beyond. He takes you to where few have dared to tread—into the sinister, and often misunderstood, reality of the true one-percenters. He takes you on a ride into a place about which many are curious, but few know well. Be advised: This is not the exhaustive work of an investigative reporter, nor an account of the zealous efforts of an undercover law enforcement operation. This is the personal chronicle of Spurgeon’s 15 years in the fast lane. Sobering, sometimes humorous, yet always painfully accurate, it begins with his love affair with the motorcycle and then continues into the ominous 1%er Brotherhood of the bike gang culture in America. You will be educated, entertained, warned, and enlightened by this brutally honest narrative from a man who has been there and back and lived to tell about it.

One Percenter: The Legend of the Outlaw Biker illuminates the origins of the rebel mentality in America, from the annals of human history all the way to today's motorcycle clubs.

The definitive collection of first-hand accounts of the world's outlaw motorcycle gangs, with contributions by Sonny Barger, Hunter S. Thompson, Ed Winterhalder, William Queen and many more Outlaw bikers consider themselves 'the last free people in society', unconstrained by the regulations that hem in ordinary citizens. And they guard their privacy jealously. Drawing on seventeen years of studying and participating in biker culture, the author has compiled this one-of-a-kind collection of original biker writing. Here are insider accounts of landmark incidents in biker folklore, including reprints of classic writing from biker-originated magazines, handouts, websites and books. Gangs featured include the Bandidos, the Hells Angels, Henchmen MC, the Outlaws, the Mongols, the Annihilators, the Diablos, the Gypsy Jokers, the Rebels, the Straight Satans and the Vagos. And with contributors such as Freewheelin' Frank (one-time secretary of the Hells Angels), Edward Winterhalder (among the most powerful members of the Bandidos) and Sonny Barger (founder of the Hells Angels). Also included are those rare accounts by outsiders who have succeeded in 'looking in' on the gangs: Hunter S. Thompson's Hells Angels: A Strange and Terrible Modern Saga; writing by William Queen, the undercover agent who infiltrated America's violent outlaw motorcycle gang the Mongols; and Daniel R. Wolf's account of riding with the Rebels.

Relates the undercover work of George Rowe, who infiltrated the Vagos motorcycle gang, spending three years working to take down the gang from the inside.

In The One Percenter Code, best-selling Motorbooks author and editor of Easyriders magazine Dave Nichols takes up where he left off in One Percenter: The Legend of The Outlaw Bikers. Nichols takes readers inside the world of outlaw motorcycle clubs and pulls back the secretive curtain on the biker lifestyle. He explores the concept of brotherhood, ultimately arriving at a new definition of family and community in the process. Being a member of a one percenter motorcycle club requires extreme discipline; in this book, Nichols shows us what that life offers in return. Nichols delves into the one percenter code of conduct and honor and finds something that is sorely lacking in modern society. In this book, he shows us how we can apply those values in our own lives. The world of the outlaw biker has its own rough-hewn rules of order, and The One Percenter Code acts as a guidebook to that truth-, honor-, and brotherhood-based world.

In this no-holds-barred memoir, a legendary biker recounts his life of sex, drugs, rock & roll and lots of broken laws. Here is the true-life story of Richard “Deadeye” Hayes in all its bad-ass, balls-to-the-wall glory. This is a man who stole a machine gun before he was seven and lost his left eye when a good friend shot him in the face. As a member—and then president—of the infamous Los Valientes Motorcycle Club, he broke more laws and had more fun than any six of the coolest guys you know. One of the last true Outlaw Bikers, Deadeye knows what it means to be a man, take shit from no one, and have tattoos that actually say something. Riding, drug dealing, and sending men to the hospital with his bare hands, Deadeye made himself a legend among bikers—all the while making sure his daughters never got mixed up with guys like him. “This may just be the best book ever written by an author who's been shot twice, stabbed once, and bitten by a rattlesnake!” —Geoffrey Leavenworth, author of Isle of Misfortune

This book provides documentary proof of a CIA double-cross and government cover-up spanning 30+ years thus far, and the history behind all of their criminal acts in an attempt to prevent this scandal from coming to light. With the publication of this book, Thor's children and grandchildren living in the US may finally be able to look people in the eye whenever his name is mentioned, rather than forced to bow their heads in shame as it has been up to now. Thor Holm Hansen has lived a life few people would dare or care to embark upon, including over 40 years with the Outlaws MC both in the US and Europe. Even after winning a $15,000,000 civil suit against the CIA in 2002 for having orchestrated his arrest and conviction, In Absentia, for the alleged possession of 37 gram cocaine in 1981, where he proved that even the judge and prosecutor were part of this conspiracy, confirmed in a ruling by the court of appeals, the district court still refused to vacate the conviction on grounds that evidence obtained in a civil matter cannot be used to attack a criminal conviction And was forced to serve 7 years in federal prison on a bold-faced lie. Heads will roll now! He is also a well-known recording artist in his homeland, Norway, having released a number of records between 1982 and today, where his latest "Hell on Two Wheels-Revisited" has added a couple of recordings he did together with Dr. Hook-Ray Sawyer in 1988, which only recently came to light, being lost for 22 years. See the video on www.youtube.com. He is also a mechanical engineer, with several revolutionary patent-pending innovations, such as his concept for a horizontal launching pad for the space ferry; A high-speed elevator without weights and counter-weights; A belt-drive conversion system for all 4x4 vehicles, and the list goes on and on. Read his incredible life story, including gang wars and assassination attempts against him both in the US and Europe; training mercenaries to remove Baby Doc in Haiti; and the repeated attempts by misguided prosecutors to orchestrate his convictions on everything from rape to First Degree Murder, luckily to no avail, where the refrain from his latest CD says it all; "I've been shot at, I've been shafted, I've been set up by the feds. But with brains and balls, I beat them all. Yet life's been hell, (of a lot of fun) On Two Wheels". Go to his website www.thorehansen.com to order autographed books and CD's.
