It occurs to us that we don’t read much anymore about outlaw motorcycle gangs. A few decades ago, when The Scrapbook was young, movies and television and newspapers teemed with fearful reports about the Hells Angels, the Outlaws, and the Pagans. We wonder what became of the original “1 percenters.” (The term originated from a claim by the American Motorcyclist Association that 99 percent of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens—hence the “1%” patch on many of the outlaws’ vests.)

What happened to outlaw motorcycle gangs? We think we’ve found part of the answer: They discovered the Internet.
