Does anyone know if he was trying to write another book or at least gather information?
I am thinking Penticton 94-95 and what happened to him?
From the contemporary American perspective this book is a little dated. And of course, the club and events depicted took place in Canada, so the terminology is a bit different as well. However, this remains one of the most complete and accurate descriptions of the Motorcycle Club lifestyle written to date. Anyone interested in joining a 'traditional' Motorcycle Club or just curious about them should pick this up. I am a 12 year member of an international MC and currently a chapter officer; I require prospective members to read this book.
