    They are the 1% of the population who choose to live outside the conventions of the law.

    So might aswell put World wide next to them in your original post Lias, though admitedly the ones here are nothing more than a shadow of the true members from the founding country.

    It covered all the major gangs and gang culture of the 70's and 80's - had some good photo's and stories about the 'life' from a guy who spent a whole lotta time with them.
    I'd be interested to give that one a read.

    "Girls in the gang" is a good read, like Kickaha said.

    If you're interested in the Aussie perspective (some Kiwi stuff in it), give "The brotherhoods" by Arthur Veno a read.

    'Under and alone" (USA) is a good read, for an overview of what a complete bunch of turds most of these people are.

    Ralph 'sonny' Bargers autobiography is worth a read, if you take it with a large bucket of salt.

    In response to media attention in the wake of 'the hollister riots' in the late 1940's, the AMA (American Motorcyclists Association), stated to the press that 99% of riders were decent, law abiding folk who had nothing to do with the debauchery and hooliganism that was being played up large in the press.

    The hooligan element reacted by placing themselves in the 1% bracket, as 'outlaws'.

    Mongrel Mob (Nationwide) *
    Black Power/Manga Kahu (Nationwide) *
    Outcasts (Hamilton)
    Outlaws (Napier)
    Satans Slaves (Welly)
    Hells Angels (Wanganui)

    Tribesmen (Auckland) *
    Filthy Few (BOP) *
    Magogs (New Plymouth)
    Road Knights (South Island)
    Mothers (Palmerston North)
    45 MC (Auckland)

    Only ones marked with an * were at the Tangi
    Ones I saw at the tangi I didnt recognize were:
    King Cobras
    Huhu MC
    Taupiri MC
    Tribal Huk
    United Bulldogs (Though I'm assuming this one was MMM related)
    Anyone know anything about these ones? Or have others I didnt know of to add.
    you could also add Storm Troopers to your list, I think around early to mid 1970's

    Some time in the 50's there were some nasty riots in America atributed to bikers, (it may have been at Daytona, not sure now). The main stream biker community came out and stated that the trouble makers that caused the riots were only 1% of the overall biker population. The loser bikie gangs liked the label and have adopted the 1% badge as a sign to all that they are the shit heads of this world and they are proud of it.

    EDIT:
    http://www.biker.co.nz/Reviews.asp?id=178

    During their travels throughout the USA one of these gangs known as the Pissed off Bastards of Bloomington (POBOB) descended on the small outback town of Hollister in the State of California on 4 July 1947. Due to their unruly behaviour it wasn't long before they became embroiled with the local constabulary. After this a number of organizations and individuals were given credit as stating that "not all bikers were bad and in actual fact 99% were law abiding citizens and the other 1% were the troublemakers". Hence from that day forward the 1% badge of honour amongst thugs, rapists, drug dealers and gun runners who rode motorcycles and needed to be part of a gang for security and to feed off each other's greed was born. With this came the three-piece patch, which signifies their standing within our community and identifies them as being a 1% gang. This three-piece patch is vigorously defended and no other gangs or clubs wear the three-piece patch unless permitted to do so by the local OMCG. The same phenomena still exists today however they are more business orientated and are far more globally linked with each other and other organised crime syndicates than most law enforcement agencies give them credit for.
    http://www.missoulian.com/specials/h...gels/ha02.html

    Two of the first such fraternities were the Pissed Off Bastards and the Booze Fighters, groups that established early the notoriety of the outlaw biker image. In 1947, at an American Motorcycle Association convention in the drowsy town of Hollister, Calif., the Pissed Off Bastards rode in drunk, wild and destructive, landing as if behind enemy lines with a belly full of TNT. The local sheriff later described the scene as "just one hell of a mess."

    Quick to control the public relations' damage, the AMA denounced the Bastards, saying it was unfortunate that 1 percent of motorcyclists should ruin it for the law-abiding 99 percent. To this day, the 1 percent insignia remains a badge of honor, worn with pride by those who define themselves as not part of that milquetoast 99 percent majority who ride whining Hondas back and forth to the office.

    Wasn't that written by the ex Mongrel Mob hitman that had to go into hiding overseas through police protection for exposing the underbelly of the culture?.

    There was 20/20 or similar documentary on him a couple of years ago.

    No, just looked it up as it seems like it would be interesting.

    The guy was Bill Payne, and he died of liver failure last year; was an ex addict who turned his life around after recieving a jail sentence, and became a writer.

    Below is from the Harold website...

    "In the mid-1980s Payne was serving a four-year prison sentence for importing drugs. An addict, he had already served two previous jail terms. This time the shock of a lengthy sentence caused him to take stock of his life.

    "I sat there and looked around and there seemed to be a sense of self-defeat from everybody," he told Herald reviewer Donna McIntyre in 1991. "Like, we're in jail now so life's over. I was determined it wasn't going to happen to me."

    He gave up drugs and started writing.

    He wrote Staunch after leaving prison in 1988, helped by an Arts Council Literary Fund grant. The book grew from a radio series. He used his contacts, a sort of criminal old-boys network, to get in touch with gang leaders and members.

    He and photographer Peter Quinn toured the country talking to and photographing gangs ranging from skinheads to Mongrel Mob, Black Power and bikers."
