At the end of this month, Flash Productions will be releasing a Collector's Edition hardback copy of Portraits of American Bikers: Life in the 1960s. This book gives an inside look at the Outlaw's Motorcycle Club using photos taken by member Jim Miteff from 1964 to 1969. The new edition will have an additional 50 pages of material, including previously unreleased photographs from inside the Club and the stories that go along with them.

In partnership with Flash Productions, Riding Vintage has been given access to this new material to provide a special preview of the book for our readers. Flash Productions has also agreed to sponsor our upcoming motorcycle build and will be providing signed copies of Portraits of American Bikers: Life in the 1960s, Portraits of American Bikers: Inside Looking Out and Asphalt Range to our sponsors.



Collector's Edition of Portraits of American Bikers: Life in the 1960s

 

maybe they can get tom cruise to play the leader...he is such a badass!

 

Where I was in the late 60s the Outlaws were pretty much all Vietnam vets. Mostly almost innocent fun.

 

I didn't run across them till the mid 70's and your right that was my impressions of them , good guys the ones met .

 

In the early 70's I was a SWAT officer and we use to take over their compound during drug busts. Yes, they were mostly Nam Combat Vets, but so were we. Different uniforms, different sides.

 

I imagine that's how all of the MC started out to be. Somewhere along the line, things changed...and not for the good.

Nice post Jim, as usual.
