Actually I was never 1% but patched with Church in The Wind, a biker church. As a result I rode with my pastor, an old biker from Southern California where he was in a club. He then left the life style and became a pastor. I had the privilege of associating with many 1%ers. Hells Angels, Bandidos, Valiants, Sons of Silence, Mongols and others. We were members of the COC, Confederation of Clubs and at their monthly meetings my church provided breakfast for them. Would ride to Mule Creek Junction, WY, about 100 miles South of Sturgis where I helped distribute as many as 20,000 bottles of cold water to bikers going to Sturgis. Gave assistance to bike wreck victims, Biker breakdowns, etc. Did this after I retired and had to quit riding in 2017 when I sold my ride. Old age gets in the way! Met a lot of people some of which became friends. Through it all I knew the tough 1%ers loyalty and brotherhood is crap. I still have lunch with several of them. When they get away from their club members they are pretty much like everyone else.
