11. During a time warp waiting for next library

book order to arrive, I read a 99-cent Kindle special Storm an MC story with a bit of plot and sex. The biker guy with a heart of gold falls in love. Hmm, the bikers i knew of in another life were tougher. Yep, googled Banditos in TX and OK, was a shootout this year alone. But hey, the e-read was voyeuristic fiction. So, my wandering mind thought further research was necessary. Enforced reading of Hell's Angels, 1/2 way thru, will cut H.S.Thompson slack for his 1st book in 1967 and we've all read harsher in last 55 years. Redundant, circuitous timeline, and think I see why the HA's beat him up in the end. (The Woman They Could Not Silence was true, factual, historical, legalese, but an exciting quick read.) However, about to finish last half of Hell's Angels and it's much better in actually telling the true ish tale of the part media myth of outlaw HA's.
