OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I was just watching something on tv about this very gig, and the stabbing at one of the stones' concerts

thats where i saw it too.

lol .. i watched it also today

A classic book and a great read. You'll dig it.

That was just on the History Channel earlier today. Pretty interesting show.

that is a great book read it twice but anything he wrote was great if you like it you should read Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail one of the best books I have ever read

just ordered that one too.

:thumbsup

I watched that also......:thumbsup

It's a great book, A1r3k...

Read it quite a few years ago. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

:thumbsup

i've read a few of this others books but not this one yet, its next on my list.

I read the book and can't beleive they let him ride around with a BMW.

Angels have the best weed:pimp

I enjoyed reading it, may have to read it again! :thumbsup

"In terms of pure workmanship, personally I don't like Harleys. I ride them because I'm in the club, and that's the image, but if I could I would seriously consider riding a Honda ST1100 or a BMW."

from "Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club" by Ralph "Sonny" Barger

he was a wannabe sausage creature thats for damn sure.

you mean speed

Or any drug I guess,depending on location and accessability of borders. B.C. is a gateway to the hardcore shit and some damn fine weed but wants the blow

72', yep, great fuckin' book!!

LOL :1orglaugh

they don't push around any dirt weed that's for sure. some of the best bud i've smoekd in years came from winnipeg. from fucking manitoba! when they're bringing weed to bc from fucking manitoba that's a statement to quality. winnipeg grows some fucking ridiculus bud.

HST is the real deal.

A true mutant. A life adventurer beyond category.

Gifted with words and courage.

I consider him to be a huge influence. Thankfully, he is only *one* of my influences...cause he also happened to be an asshole most the time.

God bless the good doctor.

From the thread title I wondered if we were suppose to not know that..but apparently it is more of a book club discussion ..always up for those :)

A classic book - read it several times...I have an autographed copy (as well as autographed copies of other HST books).

Simply one of the best writers ever... :thumbsup

ADG

Same here :-)

I have to agree with this
we do have some excellent weed.

I'm not a fan of harleys or dirty ass bikers but thats a Hell of a book man. Not a month goes by I don't reflect back on some paragraph from it.

Is this the latest in the Bro sites. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I read that book. It was great.

Great book - I'm sure you'll enjoy it. If after reading that you want to read more on the Angels you should check out these two books that Ralph "Sonny" Barger wrote.

Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club

Ridin' High, Livin' Free: Hell-Raising Motorcycle Stories

http://www.amazon.com/Ridin-High-Liv...417708-2826844

Get The Rum Diary as well.

great books, I love 'em all :thumbsup

it sits on my book self next to all the other books he has written, some of the few things i brought with me when i moved across the ocean... laptop, clothes and good reading material.

word has it there is another HST movie in the works.... anyone heard this as well?

I like oranges

yes, i am a hunter follower. i wouldn't say so much a fan as of yet because i haven't read that many of his works, but i do know that people like him fascinate me and i want to read more. seeing some of the people post in this thread that have, i know i've made a wise move. i've only known of him really since the vegas movie and thats what made me go looking into him.

i will surely be getting all his works as i read them one by one.

:thumbsup

There sure is. An adaptation of one of his best books as well(the one i mentioned above).

Depp is certainly suited for the role.
