Victoria: FriesenPress, 2017. First edition. Paperback. New. 237pp. Octavo [21.5]. Printed wraps. New. "[This book] exposes some of the police abuse and our ability to have fun anyway. We must stand and fight for our contitutionally guaranteed rights, and we are. The motorcycle club life style has been wild and woolly from the beginning. I've written about some wild and sometimes violent times. I have also tried to put a light on some of the corruption and underhanded dealings by some authorities. One such law enforcement officer who had a pocket full of drugs to plant on the victim but the officer instead was shot.
Is the motorcycle world targeted? Yes, in some places more than others. We are profiled, detained, and often seperated from our cash, there is always a ticket. We aren't allowed to assemble in public. Some bars are closed down if they serve bikers.
I got my nickname, Teacher or simply Teach from an old Galloping Goose named Blackman. I had taught school for five years when I joined the Barons MC in Salt Lake City in 1969, so the name is appropriate. I have never looked back, I love this life, which is much different than most citizen envision. I am sharing what I can. The History needs to be save and I am doing my best to share it with all who are interested."
