Book Description
One thing I can say with certainty is that I have not had a dull life. I have been shot twice, stabbed, blown up, bitten by a rattlesnake and by a scorpion, plus had numerous car and motorcycle accidents...I've even been married twice.

Here is the true-life story of Richard "Deadeye" Hayes in all its bad-ass, balls-to-the-wall glory. This is a man who stole a machine gun before he was seven and lost his left eye when a good friend shot him in the face. As a member--and then president--of the infamous Los Valientes Motorcycle Club, he broke more laws and had more fun than any six of the coolest guys you know.

Butch told me the club had a hard time deciding whether to vote me in or kill me. I always hoped he was kidding.

One of the last true Outlaw Bikers, Deadeye knows what it means to be a man, take shit from no one, and have tattoos that actually say something. Riding, drug dealing, and sending men to the hospital with his bare hands, Deadeye made himself a legend among bikers--all the while making sure his daughters never got mixed up with guys like him.

I've always been of the belief that bikers are born, not made. Real bikers, that is. We must have an extra gene or something that gives us this I'll-live-like-I-want-whether-you-approve-of-it-or-not-and-fuck-your-rules attitude.

In his own words, Deadeye tells it all. From earning his colors with an outlaw motorcycle club to his steady diet of drugs, sex, violence, and crime, this is his story: true to life, yet larger than life, and full throttle all the way.

3 out of 5 stars Not really a "Biker" book   May 14, 2008
This book is about an interesting character but, not really a biker book.
Not bad but, not outstanding.



2 out of 5 stars A Pretty Shallow Book   April 30, 2008
First off, the book is not terribly well written. It's almost as if the stories were simply dictated and typed out.

As a biography, it's relatively weak. There is little insight into the author/main character and some of the material seems to stretch credulity. The author seems unable to examine his own lifestyle in any detail or with any real honesty.

Some of the stories are interesting for a while, but it's not a very good book and you'll grow bored with it in a hurry.



4 out of 5 stars Very interesting autobiography   April 20, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I found "Deadeyes" book very interesting. But I enjoy hearing about peoples journey through life. Everybody has a story to tell. Some take the time to put it in book form. I appreciated the opportunity to learn about a fellow bikers life and his personal history.


1 out of 5 stars Another Criminal Biker.....so what.   April 8, 2008
 1 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book is nothing more than a boring tale of a criminal that just happens to ride a motorcycle. Outlaw Bikers are just that, outlaws and criminals. The real bikers out there are the mothers and fathers who share the same passion for riding but also live their lives the right way, which is legally. Here is Richard Hayes bragging about doing his drugs and being a criminal, big deal....I put individuals like that behind bars all the time. This is a boring book, just another story of some misguided soul, and unfortunately I happened to read it. The unfortunate picture painted here is that his life has been romanticized and people buy into the Outlaw Biker image. I've known quite a few over the years, but their lives haven't been romantic, most of them have spent large amounts of time behind bars away from family and friends. What's romantic about that? Anyways, before I start rambling about nothing like Richard Hayes did, don't waste your time with this book, it's not worth the effort. Like I mentioned before, the real hard-core bikers are the ones who accept the responsibilities before us all, living a law-abiding life, earning an honest living, and not preying upon the weaknesses of others.

I've read alot of this kind of books and they all sound the same. Somebody tells his story. Most of the autobiography books have the same base line, the Biker Lifestyle, or at least the way they saw it, or experienced it.I would like it if the people that have spent the time to write a book about themselfs, would write a fiction story about the lifestyle. Give us,the public,something different. Tell us a story!!!
