The One Percenter Code ─ How to Be an Outlaw in a World Gone Soft

Motorcycling with a gang of outlaws is more than an alter ego or a hobby--it's a way of life, and it comes with a code.

In The One Percenter Code, best-selling Motorbooks author and editor ofEasyriders magazine Dave Nichols picks up where he left off in One Percenter: The Legend of the Outlaw Biker. 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. 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.
