Wow. EXCELLENT book.

There's also a movie in the works with Mel Gibson playing the title role.

 

I would have to say that is my favorite as well. Definitely essential motorcycle reading.

Barger has a second book with the Zimmerman brothers which isn't too good. It is called "Riding High, Living Free: Hell raising Motorcycle Stories".. I would avoid that book. It is basically a bunch of stories people sent to Barger. Some are ok but a lot of them are sloppily written and not worth reading.

 

The 2006 Dyna service manual. Totoally engrossing, although not very good character devolopment, it had a great plot twist at the end, really had me going, couldn't put it down.
