- Beverly Roberts, publisher, talks with Imaging Insider's E. Sapwater about her father's vintage black-and-white photographs. Previously unseen, the images, captured with a 4x5 Speed Graphic camera, offer a unique insight into the private life and times of the Outlaws in this audio visual tour.

As an old time biker that still rides his '59 Harley-Davidson Thank You for all the work you did to preserve these classic images.
Beverly,thank you very much for these great photographs,although I firmly support the Hells Angels,these photos are wonderful.I respect A.O.A.,and their history and future,M.C.'s are the last bastion of free life,they must live on,and these photos help preserve the Outlaw Motorcycle Club's contribution to the lifestyle.15
Much Love & Absolute Respect !!!
Every now and then this pops up in my CZcams suggested views. I always jump at the chance to relive history. There are some now very rare bikes here.
As a current 22 year member of a Worldwide 1%er Motorcycle club I have found in my relationships with other big name clubs is if you took the photo albums from all the clubs and blacked out the back patches you had the exact same photos.Every club doing the exact same thing.Hanging with Brothers riding motorcycles partying having a good time.I look at Motorcycle clubs as religions.Everybody looking for God but got slightly different ways of going about it.
this video was fasnating. Looking back 50 years. I wonder how many of these folks are still with us?
I like old pictures like these it reminds me of my dad and the club he was in RIP to all 1%res
thankyou for sharing and thanks to your dad for taking them
absolutely beautiful pics...very soulful....they belong in a museum of history...
Great picz .. Thanks 4 outlaws history
I got handle the first book the other morning and I gotta say: it's incredible. I really enjoyed the poems...combined with the images, they really speak to the soul
As a kid got pulled near home about 2am...Got your license?
I only live down there ...I'll show you....When cop replied..I've no wish to go anywhere with someone like you I thought yup you've made it!!!
Love seeing the old bikes
I wish I had the pictures I had from late 60’s early 70’s from here in Dayton. But they were lost. The Chicago, and Detroit chapters, used to come out down about every month. Gone but not forgotten, just to mention a few, “Mickey” , “Big Daddy” “Muscles”, “Wild Larry,” “Ringo” “Cup,” “Gorgo, “Silly Denny” “Big Red”.”Fred Richardson, ( president ),
Now that brought me down memorie lane, I got a whole suit case full from the 60s Detroit Windsor area, I even lugged them to Mexico, where they are now, and of course no one that's even remotely interested,
Maybe I'll smash back a few beers and and get nostalgic,
Thanks Beverly, my Dad was Kenny 1%er GBNF
I especially enjoyed the photo's of BSA and Triumphs. Cool bikes of the day that are being forgotten by the people that claim a Sportster is a girls bike.
I am from another state but loved seeing the pics of your dad's club. It was a great life for me being with a bike club. Obviously not a member as I am not a guy.
Much love for the outlaws here in Florida.. AOA
All they do is stupid things and getting caught
@@garyjackson3894 haven't you did stupid things an got caught in your life time ..See some are quick to bring out this kinda of comment where your wrong NOT ALL I WILL CORRECT YOU , SYLO OFFO
Thank you for sharing this with me very interesting
Love the old 1% bikes can't beat them in my opinion
This is a great book one of my favorites your dad was a great photographer ....love and respect to the black and white nation
My father is depicted in a few of these photos. At one time I had talked to Beverly about purchasing the book but lost her number. If anyone has info on how to contact her it would greatly appreciated.
Just recognized Finch in a couple of these photos, a very young Ron Finch, great photos
Who's Ron FInch?
That is cool thanks for sharing ONE WAY A.O.A BAY CITY
at 4:30 & 6:30 couple of guys with old Satans Choice MC cuts, they were once the biggest Canadian 1%er club, some patched over to Outlaws in the 70's and the rest were absorbed by the Hells Angels when they patched over most of the major Ontario clubs in 2000
RIP
Tom Snort Norton
Retired member of Cincinnati Outlaws
Love the Speed Graphic!! Smart scanning them in, keep the plates cool (+/-)50deg.
I got some 60s and 70s pics of "the neatest thing in the world". Those in the know need no explanation.
Of all the clubs I wanted to be in, it would be A.O.A.
Interesting to see a few shots taken in the UK among this collection. It would be nice to hear why/when the photog. and the Outlaws came over here.
Looks to be a Brough Superior ss 100 @ 6:22, in my opinion the most aesthetically pleasing motorcycle ever made. The BBC had an article published in August of 2011 saying that at that time there may have been only 71 of these bikes left !...
40 years go when i was buying easeryrider mag there was another mag called in the wind .this was all photo of bikers and biker outings great mag.thy would of loved your photo.
Yeah but OUTLAW BIKER rag it was raw an not coated full of Ads an supported towards 1% life style👊
I remember In the Wind. Hard to think of it being 40 years ago.
It's crazy
Ever heard of Danny Lyon's "The Bikeriders"? The *FIRST* photo book about the Outlaws MC....... ;-)
nice job bev!
Great photos, not a mc member, family is, but a Outlaw at heart, SYLO
I have a photo of my old club.. It was taken in the late 60's I didn't get in until the late 70's but it would fit right in this album. The SLUMLORDS from New Haven Ct.
Beautiful !!!
outlaws mc were not started by ww2 vets the started in 1935 befire the war
Some of these pictures look like they were taken in the UK. Did your dad ever come over to England?
Great images i enjoyed the video Thanks
Cool old school video
!:43 Stratocaster! (Plugged in too)
Any of you old timers from back then in the coments I always wondered in the 50s did the outlaws ever clash with the street gangs from back then? Great pictures love the old bikez
This is cool.
First mc I every rode with.
Nice pics. The sportster that was shown several times, the negative is flopped
Did anyone else notice the seats hanging up at 7.12", they would be worth a fortune today !
joe wood - true - and think about all the original parts that are taken off and stored in boxes forgotten somewhere
Milwaukee!
Wow, some neat bikes. Any information on the homemade V-4 engine sitting on the bench. He obviously took the photo as it was someone's spacial project.
looks like an old Wisconsin motor, not really suitable for bikes, 100% iron and low HP. Very heavy.
excellent
Can someone tell me what’s going on with the (Honda?) engine pictured at 9:52 ? Is that thing supercharged?
THE TRUTHF IS OUT THERE
My parents were outlaws in Chicago then, and I'm pretty sure, my dad, who was national enforcer, is in one of your pics. I also have an album. My mom was also patched, and can be seen in the David Lyon book, "the bike riders ". Would love to talk to you!!!
The only patch she got was “property off”.
John Clark not necessarily. In certain times even females wore The patch, HA did the same thing. (Correct me if I’m wrong AOA, I would also like to know the year this changed if possible?)
@@johnclark3874 Learn proper grammar and spelling. It will add validity to your statements......
From what I understood the women wearing a HA patch was only when they were on the back of the bike so you would know who they were when riding. As soon as they stoped the woman took it off and HA member would put it back on, this is just my understanding.
Very cool pics, if I dare say so?
I live in California and I've always supported one of the other famous 1%er clubs.
However, when it comes down to it, they all have the same basic belief system, especially in the area regarding loyalty to their brothers.
Wow I think I recognize one of the guys in these pictures, but it was the mid 70's. If I'm correct, he ,his wife and sons were neighbors . I was very young.

What? You lost me

It's a black and white world sylo
This "Golden Age" of 1% ended at Altamont, 1969. It's been Feds ever since.
Respectfully I would have corrected anyone when referring to the MC as a Gang. It means Motorcycle Club. Just because the Federal Government puts a label on something does not make it so. There are thousands of cases the General Public can research to solidify that statement. Sylo South Florida. Cheers!
Beverly Roberts responds:
Thank you Daniel SouthFlorida. The word "gang" didn't used to be a bad word until the Feds created a image that was bad. Think of the Lil Rascals (Our Gang) back in the day. When I was growing up that word was used often about the club by "Citizens" and they meant no disrespect. I do correct them now because it has become such a misused word. More importantly, I want to change the image the Feds have created-this has become my life's work. SYLO.
My buddies and I had a Clubhouse in Urbana, Indiana. Family members and their Friends would occasionally come by and see if we needed anything or could they help out getting the place in Official Order. Of course we accepted but nothing from any Outsiders. No way man! You had to be escorted in just to hang on Open House. (Open House-Meaning we needed Labor) Definitely on the weekends we would have our meeting to decide on what we would be doing together for that solid day of fun. Walking through town during the week or on our bikes in a group (Membership of 5) on the weekends people (Citizens)would come out of their houses or sitting outside saying "How's the Gang doing? Hey! There's the gang! What is the Club up to today? " We always answered Respectfully because that's all we knew. Occasionally we would have to answer for some skinned up elbow's and a bloody noes but that's what happens when you run a Crew. Not everybody is going to see the World the way you do as Brothers. Everybody wanted that cohesion that we had. This was my first experience not knowing many years later that I had been in a Gang. I was 7 years old. (Andy Faust, Marcus Riley, David Shoemaker and Mario Sabatini) Less than 13 years later while growing up in South Florida (Plantation) I joined one of the most feared Gangs in the World. I served my beloved United States Marine Corps from 1990 through 2003 returning to South Florida where I reside today. Since then I have been a Loyal and Trustworthy Supporter to the Outlaws Motorcycle Club Worldwide. Now 46 years of age and I continually hear the Government and Local Media's refer to most Motorcycle Clubs as Organized Criminal Gangs. The ignorance, exaggeration and lies by Gov/Media groups to put others in bad light is criminal behavior and they refuse to check their chart. In my experience they have a disorder what I like to call "Media/Fed Munchhausen Syndrome" This enables them to fabricate and invent results by injecting a poison to gain attention, sell a story and throw away human beings. In recent events here in Florida if it had not been for video evidence to clear individuals of any wrong doings those individuals would have lost their lively hood, homes and possibly their children over nothing more than what I am describing. For what? Being a Club Member. Tom & Beverly Roberts I hope I have explained myself as brief as possible towards shared feelings on this issue. I hope we can chat again some day. MLLH&R from South Florida. Daniel S. Lane-Sylo South Florida.(P.S. I have to Respectfully disagree with you about the "Eagles Club" before they patched over to "Our Gang". Spanky! Was a little Gangster!) Cheers!
xbertocoaylax I agree. For 20 years I served in one of the most Feared and Respected Gangs in the World. "The United States Marine Corps" Semper Fi!

I'm with you on that one.

SOUTH FLORIDA OUTLAWS, 1959 TO 1961.
Taken it sir
His promise should have carried on to you; but they are great pictures.
GRT BOOKS ...RESPECT FRM HUTCHY...1%ER...A.O.A....S.Y.L.O...BEV WE HAVE A LOT OF THE OLE PICS UP ON OUR WALLS ...IN KYSBRAM CHAPTER ...AUSTRALIA ...
I noticed one picture of two bikes and some guys that’s reversed. Harley’s never had carbs and pipes on the left side
Only the 45" flatties and Indians had left side carbs.
@ much like the old tintypes of the old west. An example would be the famous photo of William H. Bonney. Everyone, except those of keen eye thought he was a lefty. But a Winchester never had a left side loading gate.
@ I'm not really skinny any more. Lol. I was when I got the nickname as a teenager.
Isn't it funny how the history "experts" took so long to figure it out. Hell I realized it when I was a skinny teenager. But who's gonna listen to a kid. Certainly not an "expert". I always cringe when on TV you'll hear, "experts say"...
The Left handed gun was full of inaccuracies. They've never really made an authentic fact based movie about him. I lived in Lincoln co NM for almost 10 years.
If you are willing to sell any of those pictures please let me know I'm willing to buy some for a good friend of mine
I have a copy of this book
Does anyone know what happened to Big Jim Nolan?
He was involved with South Florida Outlaws, when he got out of prison seems like he was harassed by the cops every time I looked at newspapers he was getting arrested. Is he still living?
Got any pics of the guy who nailed his old lady's hands to some trees?
His name was Norman Risinger aka spider
Nice assortment of motorcycles and brands. Back in the day these guys were all WWII veterans. The rule never was that you must ride a Harley of a given size, the rule was you must ride an Allied bike of a given size. I noticed an extremely rare Harley XA as well as an English Brough Superior. There was a freestanding 4 cylinder and another 4 cyl bike that I didn't recognize. Can anyone identify them?
servicarrider i think its the indian chief 4 cylinder rare bike
Roal Enfield indian
Because of balance issues, I've finally had to stop riding. I'm not sure if a trike will work for me. I miss all my riding friends and the freedom of the roads.
Have you concidered those little wheels they put on kids bikes?
I know, it sounds silly. But if you can make something similair. And you avoid highways, there might be something to do here.
Sexy bikes and sexy chicks - no fat mamas there - I loved the Beemer, plus there was a MV and a Vincent ?
Great fucking book!
What's the book called
Visit flashproductionsllc.com for all the information.
love the Nazi regalia. We dressed like that in the late 60's and 70's when we were greasers in the UK. All of us had Nazi helmets. We were the Filthy Few. Bed rolls on the bikes and roughing it. Those days are gone.
Rod Templar Elf & safety Rod! No waterproofs or sat Nav’s either. You don’t miss what you never had, those times are gone but at least we had those times.
no not gone, I ride with an old chap who still rides the panhead he was tearing about England on back in the 70's, he still don't have a sat nav. Ride hard roll free...
@@moorshound3243 RideOn
I believe the book is priced out of the average reader's range. I'll pass until some start popping up on Amazon.com for 40 or 50 bucks.
I want to be an Outlaw
Back when Triumphs and BSA's would be ridden by MC members.
Up until the war the clubs were family oriented riding clubs. The guys that started the post war MC's were all veterans. The rule was that you had to ride an "Allied" bike. At the time the British motorcycle industry was at the apex of technology, and beautiful bikes they were, so many Americans rode them. Today many 1%ers, including Sonny Barger who hates Harleys, ride Victory's and Indians.
D.a.c. was outlaw and a
Obviously, you'd been careful enough to make sure that none were incriminating in anyway, right?
SUPPORT 81
Just wondering, if it's The American Outlaws Association, why do they call it a Club? Why don't they just call it an association?
Because the association is an alliace of outlaw clubs, not just one club.
It's also a play on the AMA, the American Motorcycle Association.
Can i get an email address for flash's daughter please
Damn Shame bikers in some not all of today's clubs aren't as real as the old days
sylo
Look at them french kissing aaww how sweet. Maniac man was wondering if you need a grenade
Were the woman actual patched members. Or were they just property of cuts .
0:34 guy on far right snorting some powder
Haha I had to rewind it to be sure if I saw it right. Damn if he wasn't taking a bump haha. I love it.

Every pic is cool,except for the Phagg Pics. That's just sick. Got a friend in the Outlaws,and I know he don't fly that way,either.
I agree with you, you are right about "Phagg Pics", I'd bet it was a case of really good LSD and much booze...and thinking how can we freak out "Citizens". I was an Outlaw from ' 79 to '94 and I never "Tongued" anyone,..LOL...There is a fast kiss given when greeting a 1%er Brother you haven't seen for awhile, but NOT, Tongue....it still bothers "Citizens to this day",...Job Done....and these pictures are amazing....
Another good example of really good Acid, is drinking from a toilet plunger, and a cowboy boot also ranks up there as a way to freak out a "Citizen", I am sure there are a few others in this video....just great !!!!!
Dale Leslie you don't see then flying the Swastika much these days?
+ glencoe6305 Oh please, grow up. The Phagg Pics don't seem to offend Beverly or members of the Outlaws who were happy with her to release the photos. As Dale says it was to freak out "Citizens" witch seems to have worked on you, some 60 yrs later. You will also see this Phagg tongue kiss in one maybe two of the movies made about the Hells Angels in the 60/70s. Is your friend a member of the Outlaws MC or a member of another 1% MC? either way it doesn't matter for we both don't know what goes on behind closed doors with members of an Outlaw Biker MC nor should we & who cares what way their fly its none of anyones business. A kiss is also given today as a greeting between Brothers as Dale says, witch does not make a man a Phagg then or now.
+ glencoe6305 Here is a link to another set of photos by another Outlaws member taken around the same time, with a Phagg Pic of two Outlaws in a deep tongue kiss & embrace. czcams.com/video/US1j_71brqE/video.html

Hey Taco.
Princess cruise msc
Unfortunately in the background the swastika flag appears in 2:38. 😡
what is so unfortunate about it?
@@ralphbooger4756 if you're glad about that it will be alright
@@rudiweissherbst2355
i dont really feel any way about it at all, it was there at the time so it is there in the pictures...
would not surprise me if one of the guys themselves brought it back from the war, these guys coming home from that war is really the start of this culture!
not saying they were necessarily the nicest of guys, but many of them fought a war against what that flag stands for...
dont you think that grants them the right to display it?
and something tells me that this kind of reaction is what they were going for.
now, what happened in germany... that was unfortunate, was it not?
@@ralphbooger4756 ralph, most likely you are right. for me, who grew up in germany, it was always better to stay away from people with this flag.
@@rudiweissherbst2355
To be honest, your very German name and description of this symbol merely appearing in these pictures as "unfortunate" may have triggered a slightly unfair biased response from me...
although a lot of these clubs would wear that symbol for another reason than its true meaning, and even have Jewish members in their clubs wearing it, still this was a time with a lot of prejudice and hate against other groups and this club and many others had/have strict rules very blatantly describing those who may not join.
not the same but still rooted in very similar issues so thinking about it i guess you are right also, in one way or another it is unfortunate, and depending on ones perspective... quite the understatement!
😂 Take this job an shove it was by: Johnny paycheck.. that I know of

Outlaws are jamokes in Florida
Can't believe that the Outlaws are the oldest MC in the world. They've been here BEFORE the Hell's Angels and the rest.
Marcus - not the oldest at all ! Yonkers MC right here in my Westchester co. NY are considered the oldest club in the world 🌎🌍 1903 , the year Harley started , the wright bros took flight ✈️ etc.
