Default Under and Alone

Has anyone here read the book "Under and Alone" by William Queen? This has got to be the best book about motorcycle culture. If you haven't read it go buy it, you won't put it down until you are done.

I read it and also went thru it in a day. He has another book out now and I believe I read somewhere that they were considering making this one into a movie.

Not sure where you guys are coming up with Charlie Sheen...

In the movie (to be released in 2008) Mel Gibson plays the part...

They are referring to the 1992 cult classic "Beyond The Law" starring charley sheen. That is a totally different story though. Pretty similar in nature except the story was aboutATF agent Dan Black aka Dan Saxon in the movie. Here's the link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103805/plotsummary
