Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Poet is a San Francisco area pump jockey and motorcyclist who stands up for himself when he feels he's been wronged. Despite one of those encounters, i.e. a fight, being between Poet and one of his members, Buddy, the leader of the local chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, slowly brings Poet into their fold in admiring Poet's pluck in spite of his somewhat diminutive physique. Poet, in turn, admires much about the club, including the motorcycles, the camaraderie, the drugs, and the free love, the latter as he openly enters into a relationship of sorts with Shill, who is largely regarded as Buddy's girl. As Poet becomes more deeply involved with the club and Shill, with who he is falling in love, he will discover just how much the club's ethics and and his own mesh or don't mesh. Written by Huggo |
