In the 1930s and 1940s, soldiers returning from war faced trauma and limited job opportunities, prompting the formation of motorcycle clubs as a coping mechanism.
A significant turning point occurred in 1947 when a motorcycle event in Riverside, California escalated to rioting, leading authorities to label participants as "outlaws" and sparking the term outlaw motorcycle club.
Outlaw motorcycle clubs, often referred to as one-percenter clubs, consist of members who either embrace criminal lifestyles or have past experiences in crime, distinguishing them from law-abiding riding communities.
Motorcycle gangs play a substantial role in the American economy, often involved in organized crime activities like drug production and firearms trafficking, highlighting their influence and danger.
