I see several shots of Mother Ruth in her patch. She made them for the club back then. 👍🏻

I did a book report in high school on the Hunter Thompson book "Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga". It was a great read and was written by Thompson, a "gonzo" journalist who rode with them for over a year, with the club members knowing he was only a writer and was gathering information for a book. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to know about these outlaws from a mid-60's perspective, about when these pictures were taken.

From u.k. I’m 67 now, and was lent Hells angels the Thompson Book by my pals older brother, when I was in my early teens. That first page still blows me away! Fantastic piece of writing. Book changed my life, opened me up to the counter culture on different levels! Seeing the photos of the day, makes it even better! Something about the 60s and 70s, bikes, cars, and general atmosphere portrayed in the photos. I prefer photos to film, just saying. Take care.

I read that book when I was 10. Actually a pretty good book, though originally I got it because there was a picture of a motorcycle on the cover 😂

I read it when it came out. I was 18 then ( '65). They were a different bunch back then.

Ya' gotta read 'Freewheelin' Frank' by Frank Reynolds. Copies are damned expensive though. Like a dumb ass I gave mine away.

@@tubbers20 From u.k. I have read it, couldn’t find it anywhere! Pre net days of course, they had a reprint in the 80s Wasn’t cheap then! Back in the day, even now I never, ever, lend books you value! Or albums, or cds. Get them back scratches guaranteed! I threw out a book It was a Charles Manson biog called THE FAMILY by ED SANDERS first edition 1971. That was mid 80s. Valuable apparently! You live and learn, a pal of mine, his older brother had A large format, large print, first edition, black leather bound. Silver embossed cover of Thompson’s Hells angels. Don’t see him much but when I do he says. NO! I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT BOOK! Vanished of his brothers shelf mid 70s! It kills me thinking about it! Thanks for the recommendation it was a good one! Lots of biker stuff now, have to be selective. Got one off amazon a few months back havnt started it yet, you know what it’s like! It called THE ORIGINAL WILD ONES by Bill Hayes. Take care.

Great photos. As a fellow that worked in a restaurant many, many years ago there was a guy that had a couple of cycles just like in these pictures he was actually a hard working man and cool nothing like the Hollywood Liberal view of a white guy on a motorcycle

Grande postagem! Uma pergunta,essas são as fotos do fotógrafo da Life que ficaram guardadas por quase 40 anos? E que alguns anos atrás foram lançadas em um livro? Sucesso e abraços from south of Brasil. Outra quem canta essa sonzeira!?

too many shovelheads to be all 1965 pictures. there may have been some 1966 models in late 1965 but much more pans and perhaps the odd knuckle or flat. surprised me how many british bikes there were.

Terrible music, doesn't fit the pictures, something from 1965/66 like The Byrds or Buffalo Springfield would have brought the images to life more.
