Sonny Barger can write?
Truth is , Sonny Barger is full of poop . The guy relied on others to build his bikes , and do his dirty work . Once heard him say in an interview around '99 , "Yeah , my new Harleys , man , it'll just cruise at 100 MPH all day , no problem" . Dusty
...He also doesn't seem like HD and has positively promoted Victory.
Maybe his bike has a metric speedo and he mistook MPH for KPH
+ 1 on all previous , and: he is the same guy who said in a SF City Bike interview years ago that, if it weren't for the image,(sponsorship?) and other assorted reasons , he would ride a Honda....
I read that he got his Victory from Arlen Ness for $1. Sounds to me like a paid promotion deal with a middleman so Victory doesn't have to admit it.
Yeah , being full of poop does not preclude intelligence In the good doctors book on the HA's , Thompson states that Barger , more than anything else , is an opportunistic politician. Dusty

Many people write about things that they do not know first hand......People who buy new cars every two or three years, do not know how to use a screwdriver, get all their service work done by a dealer, and expect complete reliability and ease of use. Probably get Honda and be happy. Would not even like Harley. Generally dull people, often with intolerance for others......Like interesting cars, know quite a bit about machines, can't afford the money or risk of a cool car, likes bikes, gets a Ducati or Guzzi and does some stuff on it. Tolerates the quirky. Laughs at Harleys.....Etc., etc.
I enjoyed that book.
Probably required for the job. I've been watching some of the episodes of "Outlaw Chronicles" on History Channel.Interesting insight from the former honcho of the Ventura chapter.
Why would anyone care what SB had to say?
I think this opinionating is as biased and uninformed as Sonny Barger's.There are folks out there who are in one category about cars and in another category about motorcycles. Myself, for example. For a car, I drive a Prius because it's very reliable and inexpensive to drive, and I have zero interest in maintaining it myself. For a motorcycle, I'm on my second Moto Guzzi, I do all the maintenance myself, and I'm very technically aware of how everything on it works.I have no opinion about Harleys, although I do have strong views about SOME Harley riders.
I mention his book because I would like to know how many Guzzi fans have read the book and their opinions regarding his dislikes of MG, He also doesn't seem like HD and has positively promoted Victory.
I like this quote from him:"Women. Ya can't live with them and ya can't make soup from their bones".
It was a great book The whole outlaw thing is an interesting study in psychology , they represent the worst in human behavior , in fact , they revel in their baddassery . Funny thing is , most of the types drawn to that lifestyle are looking for someone to map out their lives , what MC to ride , when to poop , how to act . Kind of like a college fraternity gone weird Dusty
