DESCRIPTION:
Especially compelling are the then and now images of members who have given decades of their lives to the club. Inside Looking Out: Portraits of American Bikers, the Flash Collection II is the second in an eventual three-book series unveiling the priceless vintage photographs of Jim "Flash" 1%er Miteff.As in the first book, Portraits of American Bikers in the 1960s, the photos in Inside Looking Out center on the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. But the images in both books go far beyond a single subject. The stark black-and-white, large-format photographs dissect an entire era t
Great Photos From a Time Now Lost Mike Tubbs I first came across this book at a friends barbershop and loved it! I dig old choppers. Greasy, hand built, death machines and this book captures some great inspiration.I bought this as a gift for a friend.

That particular journey has seen our lifestyle creatively populated by villains, clowns, cutthroats, buffoons, deviants, sadists, criminals, badasses, and everything in between. Introduction (portion of): It's been a long time since the mainstream media first discovered the motorcycle club culture and its seductive appeal. A patch on one s back can translate into a titillating target for law enforcement, as well as media. Dozens of books and productions glorify the dirt-digging adventures of undercover law enforcement infiltrators, turncoats, and snitches. Anything, to be intimate with the powerful family life that is truly enjoyed and unapologetically embraced by so few. Anything, for just one ride in an endless pack, hammer-down in the screamer lane of some interstate. Entire television networks use shows ab
