Is there really a hierarchy on the road when it comes to passing 1%ers and motorcycle clubs?

In this video I break down the growing idea that riders need permission or special respect to pass one-percenters, where that claim actually came from, and why a lot of real riders (especially in places like Chicago) don’t buy into it. We look at the original videos that started the “pass the 1%ers correctly” trend years ago, how content creators kept the topic alive, the difference between normal road etiquette and turning every lane change into a status ritual, and what independent riders, 99% clubs, and younger sportbike guys actually think about hierarchy on the road.

This is a straight response to the recent Demons Row discussion — no drama, just an honest take from someone who’s been around the motorcycle club scene for decades.

Let me know in the comments what you think about road hierarchy and whether this is actually a thing where you ride.
