Three excerpts from "Hell's Angel".

Three excerpts from Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angel Motorcycle Club, by Ralph "Sonny" Barger and Keith and Kent Zimmerman --

A random aside from p. 99:

Earning your Red Wings and Black Wings came from a fifties and sixties HAMC [=Hells Angels Motorcycle Club] ritual. You got your Red Wings by eating a girl on her period and your Black Wings by eating a black girl. A few members earned both wings at once. When Bobby Durt was drinking with us in the Sinner's Club he took a black girl in the bathroom; we opened a stall door, looked in, and validated him...

About Elsie, Sonny's first wife, from pp.102-103:

In 1967, Elsie became pregnant right after New Year's, and since she already had two kids, we talked about it and decided we didn't need to have any more children. Anyway, children didn't fit into my plans. That February, while I was in Boston checking out a new club charter, Elsie tried to self-abort the child by pumping air into her vagina. It caused an air bubble to enter her bloodstream, and Elsie died an agonizing but quick death.

About Sharon, Sonny's second wife, from p. 105:

Sharon, my second wife, was my main squeeze for over two decades... I met Sharon Marie Gruhlke in the summer of 1969 after Elsie died. She was a gorgeous nineteen-year-old who had been crowned the Maid of Livermore. When she was fifteen years old she wanted to be a fashion model, so she arranged to leave high school early and enrolled in a modeling school. The summer she turned sixteen her modeling schoolteacher took her aside and told her she needed to weigh 113 pounds. Weighing in at 119, Sharon freaked and went to see a doctor, who once a week would shoot her up with some kind of speed cocktail... She didn't even know what she was being injected with, finishing each week with little blue supplemental pills to keep going. At seventeen, Sharon left her mom and stepfather's home in Livermore, moving to San Francisco in 1968. She kept her weight down to a 'professional level', ate a lot of cottage cheese, and did her early morning exercises to Jack LaLanne on television.

Sonny Barger also says Hunter S. Thompson is a pussy and exaggerates a lot in his book about the Hell's Angels.
