Thats part of Jesse James Motorcycle Mania series. I think it's MM3 that is the one about "the history of the chopper"

Off topic here, but how come I never see anyone wear helmets in the US? no laws regarding that?

[TOTO]

some states have no law regarding helmet wearing.

Interesting comment toward the end: "We're part of society".

I always thought that 1%er OMC's didn't want to be part of society; maybe I've misunderstood something along the way.

1% is supposedly mean they are the 1% of society that does not follow societies rules.

Then again, not all "outlaw" motorcycle clubs are 1%ers or call themselves that.

The origins are slightly different but that's close enough.

I decided to expand on that video and did a wee search for HA clips and discovered one where they doa ride-by of Queen Liz and Prince Phil. Different.

Yeah something to do with the AMA stating that 99% of their members were kosher or whatever and the remaining (supposed) malcontents were obviously the 1%ers.

Either way, it's been an interesting surf through YouTube looking at old b&w clips of bikers from yesteryear.

I like them preferring stock pegs to highway pegs...at least they are thinking about handling over looks.

Yea I noticed that they have done away with the forward controls. There's gonna be a lot of kiwi bikers suffering from problems of the coccyx if not already.
