A Face Full of Wind - Softcover
I never realized when I first met Kelly and accepted his casual invitation to join with some other motorcyclists to go riding that evening that I would become part of the motorcycle fraternity. Before long I was involved with the different characters, Riff-Raff, Spaceman, Radical Ron, Abbott, Big Eagle and last but not least Moran.
I witnessed many unvelievable motorcycle stunts, went to lots of parties, some good, some deadly dull. However, the people I met were never dull and at the end I am still left wondering, after all these years, was it an accident? Or murder?

He made a slow speed U-turn and pulled up next to Nemo. The police sergeant turned to face Abbott. "What the hell you think you're doing?"
Abbott didn't say anything.
The sergeant stepped in front of the bike. "Turn it off."
Abbott pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
Now what we have here, I thought, is contempt of cop - a U-turn, breaking the law, or ultimate stupidity.
Abbott put down his kickstand and turned off his lights.
"License," the Sergeant said.
"Yes sir!" Abbott reached in his pocket and held out the license.
The Sergeant turned, stepped to the left of the bike to take the license. It happened so fast that I didn't see it coming. Abbott dropped the clutch and hit the gas. The Yamaha leaped forward, just brushing the cop and did a partial wheelie. You could hear the cycle wind up. He must have been hitting seventy before he'd gone one hundred feet.
The Sergeant practically did a dance in the street.
"Goddamn it! Get that sone of a bitch!"
