In Biker Chicz of North America, Edward Winterhalder and Wil De Clercq have compiled in-depth profiles of twenty-two fascinating women who ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Each chapter features an individual whose life story is compelling, intriguing, fascinating, and inspirational. While each woman featured in this book is unique and extraordinary in her own right, there are, not surprisingly, certain attributes they all have in common. In addition to being avowed motorcycle riders they live to ride and ride to live they are successful, intelligent, freethinking, adventurous, creative, inspiring, and tenacious. They are women who have followed their dreams and dared to live life on their own terms. All are survivors who boldly took on challenges that many of us men or women would find daunting. Some of them came by their success easily, others by triumphing over adversity. Despite their common traits, most are as different as night and day. Some are introverted, others extroverted; some are family oriented, others are loners. They ll be the first to admit, however, that without their Harleys, they would not be who they are today. Their beloved motorcycles are what defines them and what sets them apart from their nonriding sisters.

Volume 1 of Searching For My Identity is a chronological autobiography of an outlaw biker that covers his life from troubled adolescent in the sixties to prominent leader of a notorious international motorcycle club in January 2001. Intended for the general public and those in the academic community that find the outlaw biker aspects of anthropology, criminology, sociology, psychology, ethnography, deviant behavior, criminal justice, pop culture and humanities interesting, this is an extremely unique opportunity to learn about the lifestyle. Due to the growing recognition of motorcycle clubs and outlaw bikers in pop culture, interest in the topic has recently exploded worldwide creating an insatiable demand for information on the secretive subculture that most people find intriguing, but most people are oblivious to the truth—the majority of the world’s motorcycle club members are legitimate hardworking men that rarely cause anyone problems. Contrary to the meth-addicted violence prone image regularly portrayed by the media, most of today’s outlaw bikers are productive contributing members of society that love motorcycles and the lifestyle, and the only thing they’re guilty of is having too much fun on the weekends. Wondering if the primary cause of his psychologically skewed mind was the result of inherited behavior or learned behavior, Winterhalder recalls his life as a founding member of the Oklahoma Bandidos; the assimilation of the Rock Machine in Canada; the Quebec Biker War; his unsuccessful deportation; and the murders, assassinations, betrayal and drug use that contributed to his disillusionment and eventual departure from the organization. Although the book includes some of the storyline found in Out In Bad Standings and The Assimilation, the narrative incorporated from those titles has been updated, revised and rewritten in a more professional manner, and features an additional fifty-thousand words about the author’s life never published. Before reading Searching For My Identity (Volume 2): The Chronological Evolution Of An Outlaw Biker On The Road To Redemption, the publisher recommends a comprehensive review of Searching For My Identity (Volume 1): The Chronological Evolution Of A Troubled Adolescent To Outlaw Biker.

In the early 1990s, Maurice “Mom” Boucher and his fellow Montreal Hells Angels, reputedly the most ruthless and vicious bikers in the world, subdued all comers except the tough-as-nails members of the Rock Machine. Founded by Salvatore Cazzetta, an ex-friend of Boucher, the Rock Machine had every intention of standing up against the Hells Angels. Seven years of bloody conflict, which left over 160 people dead and countless injured, was the result. Heavily outnumbered, the Rock Machine appealed to the worldwide Bandidos Motorcycle Club, who rivaled the Hells Angels in terms of membership and strength. In January 2000, the Rock Machine ceased to exist and became a probationary Bandidos chapter – the first to be established on Canadian soil. Biker Edward Winterhalder was assigned by the Bandidos to coordinate the transition. Although the stage had been set for an end to the biker war and a positive outcome for all, it was anything but. Starting with the arrest and unsuccessful deportation proceedings of Winterhalder by the Canadian authorities, more intrigue, assassinations, and double-crosses, Winterhalder found himself in a situation even he found impossible to control. In The Assimilation, Winterhalder – in collaboration with author Wil De Clercq – recalls his life and times as an outlaw biker; his personal involvement in the creation of the Quebec Bandidos; his friendship with the key players who made it happen; and his eventual disillusionment with, and exit from, the Bandidos Nation.

En Biker Chicz de América del Norte, Edward Winterhalder y Wil De Clercq han recopilado perfiles en profundidad de veintidós fascinantes mujeres que conducen motocicletas Harley-Davidson. Cada capítulo presenta a un individuo cuya historia de vida es convincente, intrigante, fascinante e inspiradora. Los estudios globales indican que del 12 al 18 por ciento de los entusiastas del motociclismo son mujeres. El número de mujeres motociclistas en América del Norte ha aumentado exponencialmente desde principios de la década de 1990, y esa emocionante tendencia continúa. Las estadísticas del American Motorcycle Industry Council indican que más de un millón de motocicletas nuevas se vendieron en los Estados Unidos en 2008. De ese impresionante número, más de 100.000 se vendieron a mujeres. Si bien cada mujer que aparece en este libro es única y extraordinaria por derecho propio, no es sorprendente que haya ciertos atributos que todas tienen en común. Además de ser motociclistas reconocidos (viven para viajar y viajar para vivir) son exitosos, inteligentes, librepensadores, aventureros, creativos, inspiradores y tenaces. Son mujeres que han seguido sus sueños y se han atrevido a vivir la vida en sus propios términos. Todos son sobrevivientes que asumieron con valentía desafíos que muchos de nosotros, hombres o mujeres, encontraríamos abrumadores. Algunos de ellos lograron su éxito fácilmente, otros triunfaron sobre la adversidad. A pesar de sus rasgos comunes, la mayoría son tan diferentes como el día y la noche. Algunos son introvertidos, otros extrovertidos; algunos están orientados a la familia, otros son solitarios. Sin embargo, serán los primeros en admitir que sin sus Harleys no serían quienes son hoy. Sus amadas motocicletas son lo que las define y las diferencia de sus hermanas que no viajan en bicicleta.

After Earle is hunted down and shot by one of the terrorists, Thomas goes on a quest for revenge with guidance from two federal law enforcement agents. Enlisting several chapters of Skuldmen in New England to assist him in locating the third Boston bomber, the lawyer is conflicted as he straddles a fine line between the two worlds he lives in, and the choices he must make when it comes to moral justice, or biker justice.

After serving ten years in prison for manslaughter, former Skuldmen motorcycle club president Landon “Blues” McKendry is released on parole. Instead of using violence to make his mark in the world, he is now armed with a university degree in architecture and a new guiding light—Buddhist philosophy. The biker is on a mission to reunite with his fourteen-year-old daughter Justine, the only surviving member of his family, but a restraining order and condition of parole prohibits Blues from seeing her. The restraining order, put in place by the maternal grandparents who have raised the girl since the death of her mother and brother, mandates that Blues will return to jail if he contacts the teenager. Appearing to lead an exemplary lifestyle, Blues has hardly become a model citizen. As he tries to rebuild his life, he crosses paths with bikers who have anything but his best interest at heart. The biker breaks parole by contacting his daughter, and learns in the process that she harbors a deep hatred for him, as he begins the long, hard journey to reconnect with the only family he has left.
