A. W. Ellison, AKA Billius, Wild Bill and Billy Seven, is a motorcyclist and a motorcycle rider coach for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation of America. He began riding in 1988 and has been fascinated with the "other side" of motorcycling - the outlaw motorcycle gangs. From The Wild Ones to The Wild Angles to Easy Rider, to name but a few, Ellison has viewed the films on the subject and never tires of the genre. He's read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Jupiter's Travels, books on the motorcycling experience. He also has recorded episodes of Then Came Bronson, a T.V. series that ran from 1969 to 1970, starring Michael Parks as Jim Bronson, a disillusioned young man traveling the country on his motorcycle. Ellison has put this book together on the "One Percenters", the outlaw motorcycle clubs that have captured the admiration and fears of people that comprise Earth's general population.
