One of the founders and the most famous member of the infamous Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club, Ralph “Sonny” Barger says, “Let’s Ride” with this ultimate guide to motorcycling. With expert co-author Darwin Holmstrom—former writer for Motorcyclist magazine and author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Motorcycles—Barger, “The archangel of all Hells Angels” (New York Post) is ready to take you on the ride of your life with this exhilarating and practical nuts-and-bolts master class in the fine art of freedom. So climb on, start it up, and…Let’s Ride!

• For those considering it, Sonny explains why he rides and what it means to him, answers the most frequently asked questions and candidly addresses the commonly expressed concerns, to help the moto-curious decide whether to become a motorcycle rider.
• For those who want to ride but don’t yet have a bike, Sonny reviews the various types and brands of bikes and gives context for choosing which would be most suitable, describes the various components of a motorcycle and teaches some basic terminology for the novice, provides a thorough lesson in evaluating used motorcycles, and gives some pointers about buying new bikes from retail dealers.
• For the new rider, Sonny stresses the importance of good preparation before actually taking to the highway, discusses the kind of clothing and gear to get, and strongly advises taking the courses offered by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation.

Sonny has always been a careful rider and safety advocate who understands that any unsafe bike or rider is a hazard to all others in the pack. His concern for motorcycle safety is one of the motivations for this book, in which he urges every rider to be properly trained and equipped, and to develop the skills and good habits necessary for survival. He provides valuable tips gained from real life on the road, and explains how a careful rider pays attention and remains alert to dangers while enjoying the thrill and exhilaration of riding a motorcycle.
