HANGMEN: Riding with an outlaw motorcycle club in the old days. (Hangmen Motorcycle Club Book 1) by Dale Arenson

The memoir follows Dale’s journey from a 15-year-old high school dropout to a full-fledged member of an outlaw motorcycle club. Coming from a poor and broken family, Dale initially faced two potential paths: becoming a Marine or joining a motorcycle club. After his parents prevented him from enlisting in the army, he chose the biker lifestyle Arenson portrays the motorcycle club as more than just a group – it was a deep brotherhood that became more important to him than family. The book captures the raw, visceral experience of life in a 1% outlaw motorcycle club, emphasizing values of honor, loyalty, and freedom. Despite the rough exterior, Arenson’s narrative is softened by dry wit and candor, presenting an honest and engaging account of an extraordinary period in his life.
