Hard Road
Hard Road: Bernie Guindon and the Reign of the Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club | Peter Edwards
1 post | 1 read
The spiritual godfather of Canadian bikers tells the story of his fascinating life. You could call Bernie Guindon the Sonny Barger of Canadian bikers (but not to his face). The founder of Satan's Choice, Guindon led what was in the 1960s the second-largest biker club in the world (after the Hells Angels, which Bernie would join briefly in the early 2000s) to national prominence and international infamy. His life wasn't all bikes and crime. He was also a medalist in boxing for Canada at the Pan Am Games. That tension between the very rough life he was born into and the possibility for success in the straight world (and how aspirations in each fed his success in the other) layer Guindon's story, one of the great untold stories in biker history. Friends from the biker world and Guindon's family have given extensive interviews for Hard Road, including his son, Harley, a convict and outlaw biker himself. From the Hardcover edition.

This book about the life of the founder of the Satan‘s Choice MC was disappointing. It was clear the author got too close to his subject and fell into a form of hero worship. While there are endless pages about his boxing and fighting prowess barely a line is given about his violence against women and crimes. The book also could have simply have delivered much more detail about its subject rather than pleasant reminiscing.

TSellers You might have already read it but Hunter Thompson‘s Hell‘s Angels should scratch that MC itch. 5y
