A little self serving.

This book made the Hells Angels look like "Angels", I wanted to hear more juicy tales and this did not deliver. Some of the stories were good but not enough for me.

Two fisted tales of an american original

I picked this up on a whim in the $2 bin at Moes. The stories are admirable in some ways; you can feel the power and brotherhood of the famous motorcycle club. In other ways, it was a little sad all the suffering they did. For what? To be bikers? I suppose they had more fun in a given week than I have had my whole life, but still, they seemed warriors without a cause. One thing which made me smile was how they beat the snot out of the "peace activists" in Berkeley in the mid 1960s. I would presently like to do the same. In any case: Barger was a righteous dude. If you want to know about the Angels, read this rather than Thompson's weasely book. This is the real deal.
