As I was doing my usual Saturday morning internetting, I came upon these pictures again. They're from Life magazine way back in 1965. That's before you (excluding some readers of the blog, like my Mom (she's going to be 50 this year, whoa)) and me were born. And the reason I stumbled on these pictures (available at http://images.google.com/search?q=hells+angels&q=source%3Alife&biw=1382&bih=979&tbm=isch#q=hells+angels+source:life&hl=en&safe=off&tbm=isch&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=1&biw=1440&bih=785 ) is that the photographer, Bill Ray, has a book out with these images and the story of how he got them. The book is Hells Angels of San Berdoo '65 Inside The Mother Charter ( http://www.blurb.com/books/2431067 ). There are some interesting pictures, like the one below.
It just seems like it would be interesting to hear (and see) the conversation they are having. Or how about this one.
"You gotta go!" Or something like that. The guy with the mustache standing in back by the building does not look to happy. But some of the coolest pictures are the riding shots. Like the one at the top and this one.
If those don't make you want to ride a motorcycle, well, maybe you're just not American. Or they scare you. They scare me.
