1 percenters have their own culture, laws and rules.

Punishment when a member breaks the rules, fails a task, or acts in a manner that defames the club can be anything from a swat at the hands of the Sargent at Arms (think cricket bat) to a beating by the members of the chapter you ride with or worse.

There is no Boss so to speak.

There's the President, Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer, Sargent/Master at Arms, Road Captain and from club to club I'm sure there may very well be other officers.

A chapters officers are nominated and elected by the members in good standing of that chapter, and answer to said members for their actions and decisions, even God (the President).

I'm surprised the depiction of this fictional club is as accurate as it is, compared to the inner workings of some real clubs.

The thing to remember... It's fiction, it's drama and it's about ratings.
