"Phil's new book "Gypsy Joker To A Hells Angel" is based on 44
years as a Hells Angel. Photos & stories are a must read for
all motorcycle riders" - "Sonny Barger "
In the early 1960s, a young Navy vet, motorcyclist, amateur
photographer, and rebel named Phil Cross joined a motorcycle club
called the Hells Angels. It turned out to be a bogus chapter of the
club that would soon find infamy, so he switched to another club
called the Night Riders. Like the bogus chapter of the Hells
Angels, this turned out to be a club whose brotherhood was run by a
man Mr. Cross describes as "a complete asshole." One day, Mr. Cross
stuffed the leader in a ringer-type washing machine and joined a
club called the Gypsy Jokers. He started a San Jose chapter of the
Jokers and embarked on the most action-packed years of his life.
The Jokers were in the midst of a shooting war with the real Hells
Angels. The fighting became so intense that the Jokers posted
snipers atop their clubhouse. This was a rough time, but it was
also the height of the free-love hippie era, and as a young man,
Phil enjoyed himself to the fullest. He never let anything as minor
as a little jail time stop his fun. Once, while serving time for
fighting and fleeing an officer, Phil broke out of jail, entered
his bike in a bike show, won the bike show, and broke back into
jail before anyone discovered he was missing. Though Phil was
tough--he was a certififed martial arts instructor--the Angels
proved a tough foe. After multiple beating-induced emergency room
visits, Mr. Cross decided that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, so
he and most of his club brothers patched over to become the San
Jose chapter of the Hells Angels. This book chronicles the life and
wild times of Mr. Cross in words and photos.
