Richard’s first motorcycle was a Norton Electra purchased for $400 in 1965. He rode like a madman for as long as he could. He was finally arrested and jailed in suburbia for 20 years.

When he was released he went straight to the hog shop to buy a new bike and began to take all the drugs he had missed for two long decades.

This epic chronicles a man’s foray into the world of custom motorcycles from Hog Chapters and gold emblems to acid trips and bonfires.

The story between a grown man and a set of chrome exhaust pipes. I laughed, I cried. I went out a bought a crash helmet
- Peter Mayle, New York Times best-selling author

That’s just one review. The rest are too horrible to print. We have Chapter One and Chapter Two in Bandit’s Bookcase for you to “try before you buy”. Enjoy the ride.
