I just read "Freedom" by Sonny Barger. It's different for sure. I can relate to his views on some of the stuff in it. We have a few consultants working for our company right now. They like to interview managers as well as employees to "See where you're coming from so we relate to you better." I'm going to toss them the book the day before it's my turn and tell them to study up.

 

The guy who once had a show on CNBC. He wore a bow tie, he was a stock/investment guy. wrote a book about his ride around the world on a BMW. Can't think of his name, really good reading. The guy went through Africa, Asia,Siberia,Europe. Really good book. Someone hellp me on his name.

 

didn't charlie sheen do that movie too?

 

Wcross:

Good to hear that,I'd already planned on reading Freedom sometime soon,I'll be sure to.

From the website:

Freedom offers practical advice as it outlines the rules he's learned to live by:

"Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse."

"Don't take **** from your enemies that you'd never take from your friends."

"Commit yourself -- there's no reverse gear on a motorcycle."

Told in his trademark style, this honest philosophy of the open road is a provocative guide to leadership, survival, and success from a true American iconoclast.

 

STREET STRATEGIES..............A survival guide by David L Hough
He has compiled accidents with cages and just plain crashes from all over the country, Then explains in detail how to avoid each one. Been riding 30 + years and thought i had thought of most every dangerous scenerao. And i did know most ,But not All. Came away from this book Wiser and Safer. I Reccomend this book to all, Newbies and Vets
Next time someone says to you "Ride Safe" you'll have the best chance

 

"Hog Fever" and "Detours" by Richard LaPlante....funny and easy to read. anybody who ever traveled on a hog will chuckle at these two books..

Have to agree...Detours-nice easy read. Also, The Perfect Vehicle by Melissa Holbrook Peirson. Excellent book for anyone but especially any woman who has ever loved a bike.

 

As others have said, Under and Alone by Wiliam Queen. Outstanding read.

I wasn't impressed with Sonny Barger's Hells Angel book. All fluff. No real behind the scenes stuff. But then Sonny would like us to believe, "gee, we're just a bunch of guys who like to ride motorcycles and party". OK Sonny. Sure.

 

Dammit...beat me to the punch

 

Second that one....almost done reading it - awesome book!
