    Photos from Danny Lyon's book "The Bikeriders"

    The Bikeriders is still out of print, but I found a nice collection of 30 images from the first edition. Great photos depicting life in the Outlaws Motorcycle Club in the 1960's.

    I bought a copy in a used book store in Elmhurst IL back in the 70s. I knew most of the locations mentioned in the book.

        Even though my age was only in the single digits in the 60s, studying those pics really tell a story. Almost like you are there. I know one thing, I could not have become an outlaw because I never had nearly enough hair compared to all those guys.

          The first time I saw "Crossing the Ohio" I found my eyes lingering on the image. Danny Lyons certainly was able to tell a story with his photos.

            Nice pictures: last picture is Harry Molenaar’s ½ mile race track (Schererville, Ind); house in back was the club house. Old club house is still there. Pic of Johnny Goodpaster he’s a retired Ironworker L.U.395. I had the pleasure of working for him on many Red Iron jobs. He used to tell stories of pushing a gang on the Hancock building downtown Chicago.

              John Goodpaster was the head tech guy for AHRMA for years. Got him to sign my copy at one of the races. His son Bob is a serious racer as well. Good people.

                I'm sitting here thinking that you have a pretty healthy well of stories Dave.
