Description
The Original Wild Ones: Tales of the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club Get an inside look at the real beginning of outlaw biker culture with this raucous and heartfelt recounting of the early days of biker clubs. In 1947, a group of motorcycle enthusiasts in California took their racing to the streets, sparking a riot that would make its way into the movies. The Hollister riot, immortalized in Marlon Brando's The Wild One, has become an iconic part of American motorcycling history. But what really happened? This book tells the story through interviews with the surviving members of the Boozefighters and club historian Bill Hayes, providing a firsthand account of the events that shaped the outlaw biker culture. With great stories and entertaining real-life characters, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in American motorcycling history.
