Beyond The Back Patch: The Ex 1%ers takes readers deep inside the world of outlaw motorcycle clubs and beyond it.
This raw and powerful collection shares the unfiltered stories of men who once lived by the patch and paid the price for walking away. Through their words, readers discover the truth behind the loyalty, power, and pain of a brotherhood few truly understand.
Compiled and written by Troy Koerntjes, a former 1%er who turned his life around to lead the Mental Health Militia Foundation in Geelong, the book reveals the journey from chaos to clarity, addiction to recovery, and violence to purpose.
Featuring forewords by Tony "Jack the Bear" Mantz and Dennis Espiritu, Beyond The Back Patch is a story of redemption, courage, and the human spirit's ability to rise from the ashes.
It doesn't glorify the life, it tells the truth behind it. And it proves that even when you lose everything, you can still find yourself.
