Reseña del editor:

Some folks find their way to the bright white side of the tracks, but there’s a small percentage who run through the dark alleys of life. Even a smaller portion of those survive. Terry “the Tramp,” born in 1947 to a broken middle-class home in Alhambra, California, grew up with a violent chip on his shoulder. Terry became the international president of one of the most notorious one-percenter motorcycle clubs in southern California, the Vagos MC, and remained in office through upheaval, indictments, drugs, and gang wars for 26 years, until he was unceremoniously extricated. He is still a member after 42 years and never went to prison until 2010. This book takes the reader on a turbulent ride through Terry’s notorious life, each page sizzling with violent tales wrapped in a razor-sharp edge. Through it all, we come to learn what propelled this stout, unassuming man into a leadership role lasting over two decades.

Contraportada:

Some folks find their way to the right side of the tracks, but a small percentage run through the dark alleys of life. Even a smaller portion survives. Terry "the Tramp" Orendorff not only survived, but thrived, becoming the international president of one of the most notorious one-percenter motorcycle clubs in Southern California, the Vagos MC. Terry the Tramp: The Life and Dangerous Times of a One Percenter takes you through Terry's turbulent life, from his impoverished upbringing in a broken home to his ultimate imprisonment on a trumped-up charge. It's an often violent ride, fueld by reds, cocaine, and PCP, the story a wild group of outlaws from Southern California trying to find their place in an even wilder world, one in which Terry often found himself staring death straight in the eye. Each page comes to life with the characters, the motorcycles, the women, and the men who lived out the story and many more who died trying. This is the ultimate look inside the life of the one percenter.
