Informationen zum Autor Bill Hayes is one of those rare authors who abides by the age-old writing advice: "Write what you know." And for him! it works. His love for motorcycles--specifically the always-compelling biker culture--launched his writing success. His bestselling book! The Original Wild Ones: Tales of the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club ! followed by American Biker (www.americanbikerthebook.com) and The One-Percenter Encyclopedia have all become classics within the genre. Hayes has served as the National Press and Publicity Officer for the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club (BFMC)! continually striving to get the media to trade in their sensationalism for the truth. Zusammenfassung A gripping history of outlaw motorcycle club culture from its beginnings to the present day. In a world where most of us roll over when confronted by the power of authority! the antihero figure of the outlaw biker stands beyond the crowd! a beacon of social freedom.
