Just wondering if anyone on the forum has read Sonny Bargers 1st novel.I've just finished it thought it was quite good.Certainly better than those NEL novels from the 70's

[Rabid]

i have read it and enjoyed it but i also enjoy the nel books from the 70s as well i like readind any fiction to do with bikers or biking. if any of you have any for sale then please let me know. i also like the biker dvds as well.
Sonny Barger is a reasonable novelist never a classic but he can hold his own.

not read it yet, must look it out
have a reasonable amount of the old NEL books, always a easy read every now and then
you can fid then on ebay, just type in NEL they are about £6 a book now.. far more than the 10p each i used to get them for

MCN has an article this week, ( read sheltering from rain in petrol station)about a book of Photographs of english HA in it, photos look good, i love B&W portraits but its nearly £30 ouch..

When I were a lad in the early '70's, I remember reading a book called "Chopper" which came out not long after Easy Rider. I think it was this book that set me on the path to biking!

that and my 1952 book " how to ride a motorcycle"

How can you devote a whole book to how to ride a motorcycle????
First and only page, "Get on motorcycle, Go".

it includes such pearls of wisdom as:

" in inclemment weather,a pair of fishermans waders have proved to be a boon to the enthusiastic motorcycle rider"


i shall dig it out later for more facts

Ah but the pitman book of the panther recommends in its how to ride section that you get a bicyle and ride it for a week first to prepare you for the throbbing torque monsters that were panthers mighty slopers...
They squeezed the how to ride your new panther into 6 pages if I remember right, not quite cbt is it????
