 Same bull from this guy July 13, 2008

If anyone have read "Out in bad standings" its suprising this guy made another book. This book tells the exactly the same story, wich was already boring and lack any value.
Absolutely a no buy.

If you've read The Road to Hell: How the Biker Gangs are Conquering Canada you will know the story Ed tells. This is a book that comes from one of the losers in the battle for Canada's riches. According to Ed, the Bandidos tried to be a part of the quest for a Charter in Canada, but lost their bid to the Hell's Angels. The truth of the matter is; The Rock Machine split between the two clubs.
Ed, or somebody , did a good job of writing this book. I found it easy to read
the other side October 20, 2008
Having read a number of books dealing with HA in Canada it was interesting to see another side of the RM vs HA.
It's ok. November 20, 2008
The book was ok. Definately well-written, but the author seems to toot his own horn about how great he thinks he is too much.
This would probably have been more interesting if I lived in Canada, but since I don't (never have and most likely never will) I think I had trouble identifying with the Canadian biker scene. Don't get me wrong, there were interesting tidbits and references to things I remember hearing in the news, but the repeated references to newspaper articles and such got a bit tedious.
On another note, the author complains that he was delt a low blow by his status being changed from 'out in good standings' to 'out in bad standings' after he was out, but then at the end of the book posts a list of club locations and number of people in each charter, which is a big MC no-no. So what was that?...the author taking a last jab at his former club because he's pissed at them for shunning him, or an example of behavior that pissed off his fromer club and got him labeled "out in bad standings"? I don't know and can't venture a guess, but it makes me wonder.
 Banditos against HMAC January 6, 2009
This is a great book I have enjoyeds both of the books that I have read Edward Winterhalder and intend to read more of what he comes out with. Gives a good perspective into the Bike Club sub culture.
