Product Description
There are few men who are as quintessentially American as Sonny Barger. He is patriotic -- a veteran who loves his country. He is independent -- choosing his own path on his motorcycle, living life on his own terms. He is outspoken -- he has boldly criticized injustices in American law and society despite the backlash this has evoked from the establishment. Yet the element that he finds most important, most sacred, most American, is freedom. In Freedom, Sonny articulates many of the principles he employs in his own life. Whether he is regarded as a leader, a rebel, a revolutionary, a criminal, or a soldier, Sonny's outlook has been influenced not just by school but by the military, prison, and his experiences riding with the world's most notorious motorcycle club. It was on these various journeys that he learned the lessons that are most important in his life, and the qualities he respects when he sees them in others: Independence - Customize Yourself; Originals Don't Come Off an Assembly Line; Toughness - Temper the Steel to Forge a Strong Blade; Fairness - Treat Me Good, I'll Treat You Better; Treat Me Bad, I'll Treat You Worse. Presented in the form of fifty credos, this book gives Sonny Barger's perspective on how to live a life that embodies the most fundamental of American virtues: freedom.

 Handy Little Book for the Road September 21, 2008
"Freedom - Credos from the Road" has been out since July 2005 and is still going strong. Author Sonny Barger, whose book "Hells Angel" is now a classic outlaw biker tome, shares his experiences and insights on how to navigate the road of life from Barger's particularly unique perspective.
A good read and reference - well considered and presented in a volume size you can tuck in either a saddle or tank bag while runnin' down the highway.
"Out in Bad Standing" ex-Mongol Ruben Cavazos should have read Barger's sage advice, specifically Chapter 11 "Leaders Accept Dissent, the Tyrant Goes It Alone", before writing his own book ... a literary backfire that resulted in the former Mongol international president being sent packing by his former club not so long ago now.
"Credos" is Barger's best work other than the first book on his life - the two go hand in hand like a one-two punch.

I liked the candid outlook from Sonny's point of view. I feel what he say's is true even if your not a biker.

I would recommend this book to any father that wants to teach his son or his daughter fifty standards to live by. This book give us fifty princilals that should be taught to our young. Sonny gives us hints on everything from how to deal with Bullies, to how to handle yourself if someone wants your woman. He talks about our political situation, he talks about helmet laws and he also talks about drugs, alcohol and smoking. It doesn't matter if you live in the motorcycle community or if your just another citizen, this book will help you teach your teens a code of honor we all should live by.
Great job Sonny
Truth and the American Way....way back when July 19, 2007

I just got this book and love it. Sonny Barger has taken his years of hard living and forged a gem from it in wise words and lessons learned.
Although I don't share his opinion of law enforcement, since we do need them around, I do share his love of country, making family of friends when your own family isn't there and never has been, his ability to keep the faith with his club and friends and get it back in return.
As a fellow freedom lover, I like this book and wish a lot of folks would read it and take from it something to use in their own life. Make the best of this life and don't take any, well, you know what. Best to Sonny. If he writes any more books, I'm reading them. He's good at this.
The modern version of the Art of War December 4, 2006

Not since Sun Tzu's The Art of War has there been such a collection of philosophies. Sonny Barger illustrates with profound insight, secrets which could apply to personal, as well as business success. This book contains brilliant insights and invaluable perspectives which will help you prevail in every situation you encounter. Freedom, Credos from the Road will be studied for centuries to come. Strong words I believe so much I had sought the man out for myself. He is wonderfully charming, polite and generous. If you read this book, I believe you will respect this man as I do.
