Marlon Brando (on the set of “The Wild One’) astride a British Matchless twin cylinder motorcycle— it’s ‘M’ logo badge is actually upside-down to resemble a ‘W’, which makes sense since it belonged to stunt rider “Wally” Allbright.

Sorez the Scribe’s love of the biker lifestyle started at the tender age of ten yrs old when he picked up his first copy ofEasyriders, and at thirteen he got his first bike– a Harley-Davidson 350cc Sprint that he walked ten miles to his home and repaired himself. Sorez never finished high school– instead learning life on the streets, and finding family and friends in the clubhouse– some still brothers some 30 years later. He’ll always remember on caring teacher telling him on his way out– “Don’t ever give up writing. One day your works shall be read.”

“Dixie Welcome”, circa 197? from “Living The Life” –Image by © Doug Barber. ”It is one thing to get pulled over for something you know you did wrong. It is another thing to get pulled over for nothing at all. If that wasn’t bad enough– to be pulled over and detained while the man checks your papers three times in a row. That did it. It was all I could stand. Despite the objections of my club brothers, and the obvious police threat, I pulled out my camera and started to take photos. I got about three shots off when the sheriff and deputy stopped me in my tracks. After a failed attempt to discuss my Constitutional Rights with the sheriff who offered, ‘Boy– let me tell you about rights…’ I put away my camera. Later down the road I received some schooling (thumping) from the club on dealing with like situations. After which cold beer, war stories, and brotherhood prevailed. Long and short of it– I got my shot, and here it is. –Doug Barber (AKA Q-Ball)

“Dirt Drags”, circa 197? from “Living The Life” –Image by © Doug Barber. ”One of my crew’s favorite runs was the Dirt Drags. It was an all day adventure getting there, and a long time before we got home. While we were there we excelled at getting drunk, falling down and getting dirty– after all we had a reputation to uphold. One of the events we won nearly every year was piling on a bike, and seeing how far you could ride before breaking bones. The reason we did so well? We practiced all year long at getting drunk and breaking bones.”  –Doug Barber (AKA Q-Ball)

“Dirt That Moves MC”, circa 197? from “Living The Life” –Image by © Doug Barber. “The name of my old club “Dirt That Moves MC” was earned honestly by two of the founding members. After spending a month on the road with little more than the clothes on their back, and sleeping where ever they fell down, they pulled into a Harley-Davidson dealership. It was raining buckets and they were looking for some shelter and free hot coffee. As they walked across the showroom floor dripping puddles of muddy water, someone behind the counter said, “Well, here comes dirt that moves”. With that a club was born. We wore the name proudly, and fought to keep its honor. We were an unorganized band of tightly bonded brothers, and damn proud of it.” –Doug Barber (AKA Q-Ball)

‎”Night has fallen on Bakersfield, and the Hells Angels continue to talk and drink, inside and outside the Black Board Cafe. I made this extraordinary shot with the existing street light from the corner lamp without a tripod. I held my breath and the Leica M S fast to the handlebars of a Harley for the long exposure. To me it looks like a film set lit by the Hollywood great, James Wong Howe.” -Bill Ray, 1965

“Buzzard, one of the original San Berdoo Hells Angels, flashes by as his Old Lady flips me the bird, probably the one gesture that sums up the attitude and contempt the Angels had for the outside world.” –photograph by Bill Ray
