"The Original Wild
Ones: Tales of the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club"
When the movie, "The Wild One," was released in late 1953, a major part
of the American landscape changed forever...the media's "biker image"
was officially born. It's an image that still cuts directly to the soul
of American society. For those of us on the "inside" of the true
motorcycle lifestyle, it is the only satisfying and passionate way in
which life can be fully lived...it is a brotherhood that is unparalleled
in strength and loyalty. To those on the "outside" it is a seductive
mystery that is often feared...and almost always envied.
"The Wild One" was loosely based upon the events that occurred
at the 1947 Gypsy Tour in Hollister, California, centered around the
legendary Wino Willie Forkner and the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club. But
the media is not generally a conduit of real life. The Boozefighters,
however, are very real. They were --and remain-- "The Original Wild
Ones"...living out the genuine spirit of the true American biker.

"inside"...
