Contents
Well known black one percenter clubs include the Chosen Few MC and the Wheels of Soul MC, who are mixed-race, but mainly black.
History
The Zulus Motorcycle Club were founded in 1969. They had a different purpose to many other clubs of the time, in that they wanted to be based around black men, where almost all other clubs had been made up of only white men, even if unintentionally. Being a black one percenter motorcycle club even to this day makes them unusual.
There were 12 founding members of the Zulus Motorcycle Club who came from Akron and Cleveland in the Mid West.
Activities
Zulus members are active in Ohio.

Traditionally in one percenter motorcycle clubs you see only Harley Davidson motorcycles, or at the very least it is somewhat mandatory that the motorcycle has been made in America and definitely is not produced in Asia.
The Zulus Motorcycle Club is not as forceful in these requirements. While most members of Zulus MC do in fact ride Harley Davidson motorcycles, it is common to see a variety of other makes including Honda and Yamaha motorcycles riding with their pack. The club states that the most important aspect when it comes to motorcycles is that you share a love of riding and ride often.
