Bikin' and Brotherhood--#14 finished

 The author was a member of the Outlaws motorcycle club in the mid 1970s into the late 1980s or early '90s.  An interesting read about his life & the club and a short ending about retiring from the club and finding Jesus while he was in prison and continued once he was out.  While interesting stories about his life in the club, just seems like a lot of missing--left untold.  He mentions he worked on & customized bikes and a smaller part-time bouncer kind of job but otherwise no mention of how he or the club earned money.  Money needed for the clubhouses and of course the beer, drugs, etc for their parties.  Mentions if bike parts needed basically they were "found" on other bikes in area.  Just seemed like book needed to come clean on more of that to be more interesting.  I am not a bike guy--no desire to ride a motorcycle so while he talks about that some wasn't really what I was looking for.  Glad to see at end he was about to get out and seems to be leading a much safer life. 

I have posted this on PBS, it is the only copy but not sure how much interest will be--might be a shelf for a while.
