Get an inside look at the real beginning of outlaw biker culture

biker clubs" (Roadbike").The story starts one weekend in 1947, at a
motorcycle race in Hollister, California.A few members of one club,
the no-holds-barred "Boozefighters," got a little juiced up and
took their racing to the street.Word of the fracas spread, and soon
enough Life" magazine was on hand to tell the world, with
sensational (albeit posed) pictures of the outlaws. And then the
"Hollister riot" made its way into the movies, immortalized in
Marlon Brando's "The Wild One."What was the reality behind the
myth?Through interviews with the surviving members of the
Boozefighters, current member Bill Hayes and club historian Jim
"JQ" Quattlebaum take readers right into the fray for a firsthand
account of what happened in Hollister, and the formation ofthe
Boozefighters, where the outlaw biker culture truly began.The book,
"with its great stories and entertaining real-life characters"
(MotorcycleUSA.com"), is "mandatory reading for anyone interested
in American motorcycling history "(Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly").
