Real Bikers Of North America

In Real Bikers Of North America: Men Who Rode With An Outlaw Motorcycle Club, author Edward Winterhalder captures a realistic snapshot of the outlaw biker lifestyle to preserve the culture accurately for generations to come. For nearly a decade, his interns conducted in-depth interviews of former and active members of outlaw motorcycle clubs, and in this resulting anthology of mini-biographies you'll explore the life stories of real outlaw bikers who never back down and never back up; they are men of honor and respect, and their word is worth more than gold.

Although the outlaw biker from the sixties, seventies and eighties wouldn't recognize the outlaw biker of today, Winterhalder's intent in writing this book was to convey a simple message-your perception of the lifestyle from a historic perspective is inaccurate, and there's no such thing as a stereotypical outlaw biker. There are common denominators, but each man's ride on his journey through life is unique.

Intended for the general public and those in the academic community that find the outlaw biker aspects of anthropology, criminology, sociology, psychology, ethnography, deviant behavior, criminal justice, pop culture and humanities interesting, this is an extremely unique opportunity to learn about a secretive sub-culture that most people find terrifying and abhorrent.
