It refers to bikers that drink 1% milk. They are a little fatter than the Skimmers, but thinner than the Wholers.

The 1%ers are the top of the food chain in the biker world. The more well known 1% clubs include the Hells Angels, the Outlaws, the Bandidos, the Pagans, Warlocks, Sons Of Silence, Gypsy Jokers and the Iron Horseman. For more info look around on the first site below. Not everything is 100% correct on the site but is is a good general guideline. Hope this helps. The second link is to my black and white friends. SYLO!

During an event in 1947 in Hollister, CA when a member of the Booze Fighters Motorcycle Club made the headlines with an exaggerated news story that was later made into a movie called "The Wild Ones".
The AMA wrote an article in their magazine, shortly after this stating, “99% of all of their members are law-abiding citizens and only 1% are “outlaw””. This then, began what is today known as Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs and one percenters. Clubs that were not sanctioned by the AMA and non-members of the AMA were banned from attending AMA events.
In order to designate themselves as an outlaw club to all other clubs, the one percenters cut their club patches into three separate pieces. The top rocker was the name of the club, the center was the emblem of the club, and the bottom rocker was the local from which they came. These outlaw motorcycle clubs put on their own events and parties and did the opposite of what the AMA had been doing. There were no Best Dressed awards, they “chopped” down their bikes to go faster and look different, rode with no mufflers, they would drink, and do other “wild” things. Such is history.
The term “colors” is used in referring to a motorcycle clubs’ patch set up. In the case of a 3 piece ..... One is placed over the top of the middle large graphic patch and one placed underneath it. The “rockers” are usually curved bars with the top bar designating the club name and the lower bar designating the location of the club. The two rockers are separate from the middle, larger graphic type patch, hence the term three-piece patch. Motorcycle clubs differ from motorcycling organizations as they traditionally have “prospecting” time required before the club members decide whether the individual will be accepted into the group and allowed to wear or “fly” the “colors” of the group. Most club “colors” will also have M/C printed on the “rocker” or a seperate "cube" patch with MC on it to further clarify it as a club rather than an organization.
the modern world, the clubs that wear the 1% patch are the clubs who are the most serious about the biker lifestyle. Anyone with 20k can buy a harley and a bunch of leather and play biker on weekends or around the local bars. The MC members live it 24/7 and the 1% clubs are the most dedicated to the life.

A 1%er is one % of the biker population...a REAL outlaw biker. It's a loyalty, respect & brotherhood thing, mainly found in the true "outlaw" clubs such as the Hells Angels. (Which doesn't make it a bad thing like lots of people think!!!) Read "Hell's Angel" by Ralph "Sonny" Barger to learn more about the term and the people.

It is the really rough bikers, The Hell's Angels and the biker gangs are good examples of 1 percenters.

Most of what is already been said is true, but not to the end of the truth. A 1%'er is the extremist, the farthest out there, is club before all, and this includes family, friends, and loved ones. They will go to any limit for the club, even death or dying themselves. Most of these guys are absolutely certifiable, normal but certifiable, when it comes to the club.
