Two Wheel Thunder TV talks with Dave Nichols about books: Indian Larry & The One Percenter .MOV

Dave writes about A stunt man and side show performer made famous by the Discovery Channel, Indian Larry Desmedt is best remembered for his remarkable custom motorcycles, his wild tattoos, and his love for building and riding rolling art. This book, by those who knew him best, offers a closer look at the life that made Larry into the chopper shaman so many admired. Then Dave dives into the world of 1%’ ers There comes a time in every mans life where he has to decide whether to conform or break out. Ninety-nine percent of us choose to accept the constraints imposed by society. The rest become outlaws. And for this one percent–those who set their own standards, follow their own values, pursue their own esthetic–the outlaw motorcyclist community offers sanctuary. Motorcyclists have always been outlaws to some extent, just by choosing such a dangerous and flamboyant sport. But the one percenters live the outlaw life 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One Percenter: The Legend of The Outlaw Bikers tells the story of this rebellion without a cause–other than freedom and living to the extreme. From the earliest days of the subculture–when World War II veterans began forming early motorcycle clubs–to modern times; this is the real-life account of the wild ones, who one-by-one made their own world. Both books are worth reading for a better understand of why we do what we do as MC riders.
