Hell's Angels - Hunter S. Thompson

 The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs


BALLANTINE BOOKS U7087
NEW YORK, USA
1ST PAPERBACK PRINTING NOVEMBER 1967

CALIFORNIA, Labor Day weekend ... Early, with the ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains, shades and greasy Levis roll out from damp garages, all-night diners, and castoff one-night pads....Little Jesus, The Gimp, Blind Bob, Terry the Tramp, Frenchy, Mouldy Marvin, Mother Miles, Dirty Ed, Charley the Child Molester, Crazy Cross, Puff Magoo and at least a hundred more....The menace is loose again, the Hell's Angels, running fast and loud on the early morning freeway ... long hair in the wind, beards and bandanas flapping, earrings, armpits, chain whips, swastikas and stripped-down Harleys flashing at 90 miles an hour like a burst of dirty thunder ...

Hells's Angels

"Superb and Terrifying"

- Chicago Tribune
