Description

After forty years in the Hells Angels; George Christie was ready to retire. As president of the high-profile Ventura charter of the club; he had been the yin to Sonny Barger’s yang. Barger was the reckless figurehead and de facto world leader of the Hells Angels. Christie was the negotiator; the spokesman; the thinker; the guy who smoothed things out. He was the one who carried the Olympic torch and counted movie stars; artists; rock musicians; and police chief captains among his friends.But leaving the Hells Angels isn’t easy; and within two weeks of retirement; he was told he was “out bad”---blackballed by his fellow Angels; prohibited from wearing the club patch; and even told he should remove his Death Head tattoo.Now Christie sets out to tell his story. Exile on Front Street is the tale of how a former Marine gave up a comfortable job with the Department of Defense and swore allegiance to the Hells Angels. In this revealing; hard-hitting memoir; he recounts his life as an outlaw biker with the world’s most infamous motorcycle club.
