Filming the Angel's life is different and more difficult than filming a pop festival. But Gerry Shipton manages to persuade his backers that this film will hit. But only as long as he includes other speeding thrills.

The speedway, the Wall of Death, open up new grounds for the Hell's Angels to show off their daredevil skills, prove their reckless courage. Dreams of stardom and the silver screen are new expeditions for them. So Gerry finds that things get out of control. Everything they touch turns sour; their mark of destruction.

Another great Hell's Angel story from Peter Cave, that is just too close to the truth to be ignored.

The Suedeheads have taken to buying up old American cars and riding them tooled-up and mob-handed. To the English Hell's Angels, that means war.

They live on ton-up motorcycles-screaming across the roads of America, leaving behind a trail of drunken brawls, sexual assaults, destruction and terror.

They are Hell's Angels: a breed of wild young men who dress like pirates and wear Nazi emblems.

They defy law and order, live by their own violent code and dice with death every day.

Jan Hudson knows the Angels. He's mixed with them and their girls and heard their views on life, sex, violence-and, most important of all, motorcycles. His book is a startling inside picture of the most amazing rebels of the sixties.

SKINHEAD is a story straight from todays's headlines - portraying with horrifying vividness all the terror and brutality that has become the trademark of these vicious teenage malcontents.

Blondie, Dogend, Rod and Chiv are THE KIDS OK

They are the kids of today, the toughest in their tough world of high-rise flats, pills, booze, careless violence, petty crime, casual sex and drugs.

The kids cut a violent swathe through the East End, terrorising dance-halls, schools and soccer grounds. It is a life that leads to Borstal and the big, bad world of organised crime and dealing heroin to the grand people from across the tracks.

But the good times don't roll for ever, and violence breeds violence - as The Kids discover, to their cost.

'That's it, folks. Roll up and see the infamous Ina Murray. Get your tickets here, missus. Watch her give 'em knuckle. If you're very good and applaud loudly she'll even smash a glass in some bloke's face. That's terrific. It's the greatest. Ina rules, okay!'

Ina Murray has become a problem. Beaten by her father, she has learned to hate; humiliated at school, she has learned to 'fight for her rights'; brutalised at an approved school, she has learned to terrorise and maim. Now, at eighteen, Ina faces a charge of malicious wounding, even 'intent to kill'. And only now do social workers and probation officers attempt to discover what brought Ina to that vicious combat of bicycle chain and copper wire amid a circle of cheering supporters.

'Girls used only to resort to psychological bullying...Now they're moving in gangs and using bicycle chains, knives and clubs. In fact they're beginning to behave in a way once only associated with the roughest of boys.'

Tom grinned, bringing his fist down with a chopping motion on the back of the United fan's neck. He felt the blow jar his muscles. He kicked as the man slumped.

Then the boots went in - hard. Muffled moans lost themselves in the frantic chanting from the terraces.

The clash can mean nothing but violence and bloodshed but that doesn't stop reporter Raymond Kerr from following along to get his story.

Bonnie came from a respectable, well-to-do home. And was she ever bored!

Her flesh cried out for the thrills of danger, speed, punishment. She craved the torment and rapture that only one society on earth could offer her. The Apaches - a lustful, barbaric biker gang.

She abandoned her young body to their rituals. She flung herself into their crazed way of life. This to her WAS life. Till the stink of death drifted in...

By then, of course, it was too late for Bonnie.

HUGH BARRON, bestselling author of DOLLBABY and FUN CITY, now reveals the horror of the leather-clad, heavy metal world of the motorcycle gangs.
