DESCRIPTION:
But the images in both books go far beyond a single subject. These pictures alone speak much more than a thousand words about the strength and longevity of this brotherhood.Respectfully compiled by Miteff's daughter, Beverly Roberts, the photos presented are brilliant in their composition, in their intensity, and most importantly in that they are real! --Bill Hayes; Thunder Press Magazine . Inside Looking Out: Portraits of American Bikers, the Flash Collection II is the second in an eventual three-book series unveiling the priceless vintage photographs of Jim "Flash" 1%er Miteff.As in the first book, Portraits of American Bikers in the 1960s, the photos in Inside Looking Out center on the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. They grab you with a grip that was much tighter back then, when it comes to the pure abandon and wildness of the motorcycle culture.Insi
Mike Tubbs said Great Photos From a Time Now Lost. I first came across this book at a friends barbershop and loved it! I dig old choppers. Greasy, hand built, death machines and this book captures some great inspiration.I bought this as a gift for a friend. He loves it!What I love about this book is it captures not just the bikes, but the culture of the time. This is back before "do rags" and plastic aftermarket skulls, flames, and all that other crap. When dudes built their bikes to be what they wanted them to be. Blood, sweat, and tears. The culture was more of close knit brotherhood instead of a loose association or s. Regional biker history Richie Jingles I bought the original photo book on the Outlaws mc, " The Bike Riders" by Danny Lyons when it came out in 1968. It was a big influence in one way, for it started the thought process that eventually led me to turn my drawing ability into a tattooing career, even though the tattoos depicted were, for the most part, rotten work. The two volumes of this book take the photographic narrative of the Outlaws AT THIS TIME to a more revealing level. All of the pics were taken by a member ( Lyons was a member too) and stored for posterity by his daughter. The Chicago Outlaws were a. Another great vintage photo book! L. V. Sage I ordered this book along with the companion collection, Portraits of American Bikers: Life in the 1960's. I found them both very interesting and well done. I love the vintage feel of the black and white pictures and the candid shots are so telling. I read one review in which the individual was upset about the pictures where men are kissing each other. If you know anything about outlaw biker culture, especially during these years, those photos should make you laugh. If you are looking at them as an outsider, then you are giving the bikers the response that they want to g
For a variety of reasons commercial gain, high-profile PR, and political pandering among them both have dipped to sordid lows in their pursuit of the biker essence. Entire television networks use shows about the presumed inside of the motorcycle clubs as their commercial anchors. Introduction (portion of): It's been a long time since the mainstream media first discovered the motorcycle club culture and its seductive appeal. They fear it. And deep down in those trembling, vicarious bones they would give anything to be a part of it. Those clowns and buffoons of the old B biker movies have increasingly given way to the cutthroats and the criminals. Anything, to be intimate with the powerful family life that is truly enjoyed and unapologetically embraced by so few. Anything, to be able to call a brother at any hour of the day or night when they needed help with anything, and to know that their back is covered. Anything, for just one ride in an endless pack, hammer-down in the screamer lane of some interstate. A patch on one s back can translate into a titillating target for law enforcement, as we
