Biker Bar: The Book.

[blackleatherbookshelf]

My good friend Thom Magister has just released a new book, "Biker Bar." Subtitled "Bikes Beer and Boys," its a playfully illustrated history of how men's biker and leather bars have changed through the ages.  You can check it out on Amazon by clicking the cover.

Here's what I had to say about it for the back cover:
“On back streets and down alleyways. In neighborhoods many feared to tread. Often behind doors marked so only those in the know could open them. That’s where you would find them: lone wolves, strangers, friends, and bikers, banding together with the smoke, the jukebox, and the beer at their bars. Join these men, comrades in arms, as they take us on a leather-jacketed ride through time. See the biker bar change through the decades as chronicled by Thom Magister, a man who witnessed these establishments come, go, and be reinvented.”
— Tim Brough, author of Skin Tight, First Hand, and other popular BDSM books

I am proud and feel lucky that I got to witness this book in it's gestation form. The finished work is wonderful, too.

Congratulations!

I would say through, that the front cover photo reminds me of all the frustration I went though, of being the only bearded biker in a gay biker bar.

I still remember going to the only biker/leather bar in Sacramento, and being stopped by the doorman, who uttered: "Stop! The STRAIGHT biker bar is in the next block! This is a GAY bar !"
