LOCAL HARLEY DAVIDSON DEALER TO BE FILMED FOR SEGMENT OF NEW TELEVISION REALITY SHOW WHILE HOSTING A BOOK SIGNING

Harley riders and the public are invited to hang out while TV camera crews film the Vietnam Vets Motorcycle Club and their entourage at White’s Harley-Davidson/Buell, 1515 East Cumberland Street in Lebanon, on Saturday, July 28th, from 1pm until 4pm.

The Vietnam Vets Motorcycle Club will be at White’s to attend a book signing there
by famed authors Dennis Fritz and Edward Winterhalder. While the Vietnam Vets are visiting White’s, part of an episode for the new “Living On The Edge” television reality show will be filmed.

For this pilot episode of the Harley-themed show, the Vietnam Vets Motorcycle Club of Pennsylvania will be the primary focus of the cameras. Camera crews will be filming the Vietnam Vets in the Reading, Lebanon and Philly areas for close to one week.

Each episode of “Living On The Edge” will feature a corporate personality or celebrity who will be infused into the lives of various motorcycle club members, spending time with the members’ families, at their jobs, and in the communities they live.

For this episode, Vietnam Vets spokesman Bruce “Fuzz” Terreson said that corporate executive Michael Crowe, from Milwaukee, will appear as a guest of the Vietnam Vets Motorcycle Club.

The Vietnam Vets Motorcycle Club, along with Mr. Crowe and their entourage, will be riding into White’s, where Mr. Fritz and Mr. Winterhalder will be autographing copies of their books for the public starting at 1pm.

Fritz’s book “Journey Towards Justice” and Winterhalder’s “Out In Bad Standings: Inside The Bandidos Motorcycle Club” are both currently best sellers in their genre. Copies of their books will be on hand for sale to the public.

Fritz spent 12 years of his life wrongfully imprisoned for a murder he did not commit. Freed from prison through DNA testing in 1999, his remarkable story is also the subject of John Grisham's latest blockbuster “The Innocent Man”. The movie rights for Grisham’s book have been sold to Hollywood star George Clooney and production is scheduled to begin in 2008.

Winterhalder, a high-ranking world leader of the notorious Bandidos Motorcycle Club until his departure from the club in 2003, is one of the world’s leading authorities on motorcycle clubs. In addition to “Out In Bad Standings”, he is a contributing author of “The Mammoth Book of Bikers” (to be released worldwide September 2007), and the Executive Producer of the “Living On The Edge” TV show.

Surrounded by the rolling hills of the Lebanon Valley, White's has been family owned and operated since 1953 when J. Herman White and his wife, Marion, started the business in a Lebanon garage. Currently owned by Joe White, the dealership expects hundreds of people to turn out for this once in a lifetime opportunity to possibly appear on a television show and to meet the authors.

Barbara's Journey Toward Justice Dennis Fritz and Edward Winterhalder Book Expo America NYC 2007

Jan., 2007, I read Dennis Fritz's book "Journey Toward Justice" . I was so influenced by this book, I started my first blog, barbarasblogspot.blogspot.com - titled, "Barbara's Journey Toward Justice". I decided to join Dennis Fritz's Journey to bring public awareness to issues such as:
Wrongful Convictions - Death Penalty - The Exonerated - Faith - The Criminal Justice System and The Innocence Project.

In the past 6 months I have received hundreds of emails from people all over the world. Last month I received an email from James Riordan - Seven Locks Press the Publisher of Dennis Fritz's Book. Mr. Riordan invited me to the Book Expo 2007 NYC Jacob Javits Center. I answered his email saying, yes, in a few days he sent me tickets. I must say, I was very excited to get to meet and talk with Dennis Fritz. I will post more about the show and my meeting Dennis Fritz at a later date. I had a wonderful time, Dennis Fritz is an amazing gentleman with some great stories. There is just so much to write about. I will be posting some stories and more photos.

I want to take this time to tell you about Edward Winterhalder and his book, "Out In Bad Standings"

Edward Winterhalder, author of the current best selling biker book ,"Out In Bad Standings" (distributed by American Publisher Seven Locks Press and published by Blockhead City Press) and co-executive producer of a new, nonfiction TV reality series about motorcycle clubs called "Living On The Edge". Edward Winterhalder is now represented by APA, which is one of the largest, and oldest, talent agencies in the country

"Out In Bad Standings" is distributed by Seven Locks Press, the same Publisher as Dennis Fritz's Book ,"Journey Toward Justice". Ed and Dennis were at the same booth signing books. I really don't know who's line was the longest. I do know people from all walks of life found both men interesting and fascinating, including myself. I am amazed with the hard stories they have to tell. They are both gentleman - intelligent, great authors and are now contributing to the world in an extremely positive way.


"OUT IN BAD STANDING"
From the Publisher
An expose of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club and the memoirs of Edward "Connecticut Ed" Winterhalder. This 448 page 6' x 9" hard cover book contains more than 150 color photographs and sports a dynamic dust cover jacket. Detailing the establishment and growth of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club in Canada, Europe and Oklahoma, this historical look into the outlaw motorcycle club world is a must read for every Harley rider on the planet.

From The Critics
International Journal of Motorcycle Studies As a source of information about outlaw clubs, Out in Bad Standings also provides a wealth of knowledge about the organization and its dealings and politics with the outlaw world through the eyes of a well-placed ex-member. Winterhalder does not write in the traditional manner that is associated with subjects of this importance, but if one can get through the intricate first-person accounts, Out in Bad Standings is a good primary source. The book will contribute to our knowledge of the Bandidos and help fill in gaps in our knowledge of outlaw culture in general.

More About Edward Winterhalder
