The definitive collection of first-hand accounts of the world's outlaw motorcycle gangs, with contributions by Sonny Barger, Hunter S. Thompson, Ed Winterhalder, William Queen and many more

Outlaw bikers consider themselves 'the last free people in society', unconstrained by the regulations that hem in ordinary citizens. And they guard their privacy jealously. Drawing on seventeen years of studying and participating in biker culture, the author has compiled this one-of-a-kind collection of original biker writing.

Here are insider accounts of landmark incidents in biker folklore, including reprints of classic writing from biker-originated magazines, handouts, websites and books. Gangs featured include the Bandidos, the Hells Angels, Henchmen MC, the Outlaws, the Mongols, the Annihilators, the Diablos, the Gypsy Jokers, the Rebels, the Straight Satans and the Vagos. And with contributors such as Freewheelin' Frank (one-time secretary of the Hells Angels), Edward Winterhalder (among the most powerful members of the Bandidos) and Sonny Barger (founder of the Hells Angels).

Also included are those rare accounts by outsiders who have succeeded in 'looking in' on the gangs: Hunter S. Thompson's Hells Angels: A Strange and Terrible Modern Saga; writing by William Queen, the undercover agent who infiltrated America's violent outlaw motorcycle gang the Mongols; and Daniel R. Wolf's account of riding with the Rebels.

Title: Fascinating read
Review: I have never met an outlaw biker or even seen one in my life. This book about this peticular subculture is very eye opening and a good read. I wish James Quin with his article on outlaw bikers' women would substatntiate what he writes but beyond that I have nothing but good things to saw in regards to reading this book. Quinn is not the only one who says bizar things about Bikers and like those others he does not put anything with his statements that can prove what he says which I really do not like with scholars who do this kind of work in many fields. Accuse without proof is really quite bad. As for the other articles, I found them really quite fascinating. We have police, we have bikers, we have biker women, we have people who know bikers writing articles here which makes this very interesting. It is quite a good mix here. In short, this book is a good read.

Title: Almost like an encyclopedia
Review: If you want to read varied accounts from different sources, this is the book to purchase. Not only do you get law enforcements side of the story, but you can read what the bikers have to say. This book includes personal stories as told by the participants. It doesn't take sides when presenting a situation, it just tells the story. I read the entire book, and have gone back to re-read different passages. It reads quickly and smoothly. Very entertaining.

Title: To any mistakes
Review: Apparently, the author didn’t really do his due diligence because many of the details and facts in this book are just absolutely wrong.

Review: I bought this book in the hopes of learning something about the motorcycle gangs that Charles Manson had contact with. Other than mentioning the OMG names, with no mention of Manson's connection to them, there was nothing.Overall a very boring read.

Review: La bibbia dei biker, un libro che spiega ogni "mistero" del mondo legato alle grosse motociclette americane e alle OMG, svelando fatti poco noti e contribuendo a fare chiarezza circa le molte leggende metropolitane che fioriscono intorno a esse.
