Like the guy or not, you have to respect the fact he lived the lifestyle of a true "Biker". Sonny has paid the price for it also. Read all of his books, including his fiction, and you'll get a better understanding of the HA and Sonny Barger.
Happy Birthday Sonny.

I met Sonny at a book signing and had a picture taken with him about 5yrs. ago.He's a very dedicated individual and very straight forward....If he has something to say,he's going to say it to your face.....not hide beind a keyboard like that rest of you "keyboard commandos".If you gotta bitch with someone...do it one on one. man-up chicken-hearts.!!!
Yep... he's dedicated. He probably still has to look over his shoulder often because of all the stuff he has done to other people. And if you would get you head out of your arse you would read that I have no problem with the man or what he does. I have a problem with the glorification of a person who has done nothing creditable to society.

Your right... nobody has called him a hero... but he sure does get treated like one.
How about this... let's buy and read a book from the person who started the "Boys Club of America" or the "March of Dimes" instead of reading a book about how or what a criminal thinks about or did.
There are other legends in this world who deserve the title "Legend". There are LEO,s that have served US for 30 years that don't get bike runs. There are nurses and doctors that have saved lives for years and years that don't get bike runs. But my oh my... a freaking criminal has a birthday and he gets bike runs.
I am glad you're proud of meeting and talking to him. I am proud of meeting people who make a positive change in my world and everyone else's.

Reason: use words too big for you to understand.

While I don't necessarily disagree with some of your points, why do you feel it necessary to tell others who they should respect?

Jezus, was I supposed to genuflect before opening this thread?
All the posers and wannabes worshipping from afar. Little people desperate for a hero.
The man chose his lifestyle, as we all did, and he has very little respect from most people that have heard of him and most Americans would not know who you are talking about if you mentioned him.
He is respected and looked up to by what percentage of the population would you think? Maybe 1%?
Probably he, like most of us, does not lose any sleep being concerned if people he does not know respect him, or not.
I suspect the birthday run is more for HAs than drooling keyboard commandos.

Please everyone... go ahead and honor who you want... I am not judging you... I am just not joining you.
My apologies. This part of your post threw me off a little bit and I took it as you telling others who to respect.

I should have quoted the original poster. It was not a response to your post. Sorry for the confusion.
I was referring to the original post.
I'm just amazed that some people continue to post what seems to them like recent discoveries and they have been around for years. Whether it is information, a photo, some thing they heard, an urban legend that has been disproved years ago, whatever.
It would be like saying, the Diamondbacks won the world series. Um, yeah, in 2001. but wow, they had a great year, huh?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, after I re-read the post I thought that might have been what you were saying and I agree with what your opinion on that.
