Kick Start: Memories of an Outlaw Biker

by Ralph Elrod

1969, a time of rebellion. I joined the Barons MC. This is that story through the 1970's, the men, the women, and the cops. We stopped the feds from blackmailing the states into requiring helmet laws. We surrounded the U.S. Capital Building two deep in Harleys and outlaws. How we did it. This is some of what I experienced and witnessed. Times were wild, fast and tough- so were we. I loved it! This is that true story.

A ride into the past

Maybe it's also because I'm in a motorcycle club, but I really enjoyed this book on several levels. To be clear, you don't have to be a biker to appreciate his remarkable story. "Teach" lived an amazing life, and there is just story after story after story, all amazing. It really was a different world, and they blazed a path for MCs. It inspired me to do my small part to keep that tradition alive, on a much smaller scale. FTW (Forever Two Wheels)

Had no idea the Barons had such a history in SLC. Some of it felt a little like rambling and repeats, and the ending was a bit abrupt but overall an interesting read.
