The East Bay Dragons Motorcycle Club has gunned their Harleys through the meanest streets of Oakland; California; since the 1950s. Before Rosa Parks took her historic bus ride and before Martin Luther King Jr.; Malcolm X; and Huey P. Newton and the Black Panthers stood bravely for equal rights; the East Bay Dragons MC risked life and limb during the days when it was a revolutionary act for a black man to ride a Harley chopper. Written by Tobie Levingston; the club's original founder; Soul on Bikes offers a slice of underground American and African-American history you're unlikely to read in any textbook. Levingston and his colorful cast of misfits and comrades are an all-black; all-Harley; all-chopper group of motorcyclists who have found more than their fair share of violence and redemption on the battlegrounds of urban America--and their legacy is an important untold portion of African-American history. Soul on Bikes recounts the club's adventures with humor; attitude; and; most important; soul.
