The only reason for doing this is to tell people what I’ve learnt over the years. So keep it simple, don’t exaggerate it with the sort of crap that people always write about us.

*I want it told straight, just the way I’ve told you. People can either take it for what it is and like it, or they won’t, in which case they can **** off.*

Get Carter meets Sons of Anarchy in this gritty British crime thriller.

From being in a gang to becoming a gangster, Heavy Duty People is the book that invented Biker Noir.

Damage’s club has had an offer it can’t refuse, to patch over to join The Brethren MC.

But as the bikes rumble and roar across the wild Northern fells, what does this mean for Damage and his brothers? What choices will they have to make as they ride through the wind? What bloody oil stained history might it reawaken? And why are The Brethren making this offer?

Loyalty to his club and his brothers has been Damage’s life and route to wealth, but what happens when business becomes serious and brother starts killing brother?

Just think, next time one of your mates has a snort at a party or your bird drops a tab at a club, someone’s had to source it for you, someone like me.

This coke and shit doesn’t smuggle itself in y’know? It takes a bit of good old entrepreneurial risk-taking and effort on somebody’s part so’s you can get off your face. There’s demand, we take the risk and supply, and we get the rewards. Ain’t that how it’s supposed to work?

Anyway, big tobacco sells stuff that kills you and if you’ve got a pension, I bet you own some of it.

So who’s got the problem to be guilty about now?

Heavy Duty Indeed
You can tell from reading the first couple of pages this is a biker who knows his way around motorcycles and the clubs of the UK. He brings you into a world where loyalty is number one, give you a crash course on what you have to do to be accepted as a full-fledged member of The Legions. Damage the main character of the story gives you detail descriptions of what a Striker had to go through to become a full Patch.

It's an entirely different world that I had never seen. Riding your wheels with the wind blowing in your face, the smell of the engine as it heats under you. Damage tells you his experience as a loyal Road Captain to being betrayed by the ones he counted on the most. Chaos starting because his group was given a choice they couldn't refuse and the politics of their world.

another escape out of reality, I enjoyed this read, although i couldn't imagine for a second being a biker in the UK..heated handgrips..you'd need a heated thermal suit. just sit a bike. Still the writer manages to take you down the path and bring you back out the otherside..and leaves you hanging for more.

It is a story of a British biker and the inside world of outlaw Motorcycle Clubs, think Sons of Anarchy but in the UK!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2018

The story is fiction but feels and reads very much like a biography it is so well written.

It is a story of a British biker and the inside world of outlaw Motorcycle Clubs, think Sons of Anarchy but in the UK!
It's nice to finally get a biker gang set in the UK, most things written or shown on tv are mostly set in the US.

It is a world where loyalty is number one. Written in the first person, outlaw biker gang member Martin "Damage" Robertson takes us into the fascinating and secretive world of the biker gangs. His story takes us from his early beginnings as a young biker taken under the wing of the local bike gang, The Reivers, threw The Legion and onto one of the big 6 world-renowned outlaw biker gangs, The Brethren.

From the rights of passage, gang member structure and brotherhood. How loyalty and honour are the tools of survival. And how by managing your reputation, your reputation will manage your business for you.

This was not like any other MC book out there, that I have seen.

I didn't realise when i started reading this book that it was in a series of books, but i am so glad that it is as this one leaves you with a massive cliffhanger!!!

Now I am off to find the next book, and i would advise you do too, probably before you finish this one so you can crack on straight away and not have to wait to find out what happens next!! (I wish I had!)

Loved it - I will buy the follow on books

Great read - lots of parallels with real life and a good story, by the time you've finished it felt you knew the main character well and the world he lives in.
great for any one interested in 1% stories. I will be picking up the follow on books in the series, its not a romantic holiday read and does touch on some of the more serious and darker sides of Outlaw membership. There are some very funny parts to balance this out but if you haven't experienced 1% er's humour you might not understand the jokes.
From a non member point of view I enjoyed being a part of the club.

Having watched and enjoyed SOA, I was intrigued about the prospect of reading about Biker Gangs here in the UK. I enjoy crime novels and the low Kindle price made this a no-brainer of a purchase. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, learned a little more of the biker culture and found the biographical/documentary style fun - made me feel more involved. Damage becomes an anti-hero but by the time he has gone 'too far' you remain rooting for him.

For a few quid to bung on your kindle for a holiday read you can't do better.

Would make an excellent TV mini-series ait even has the vintage 80's/90's setting that seems popular for dramas these days.

Enjoyed the book.A fictional book of a 1% mc with a little bit of fact thrown in for effect.Read it over a weekend, highly recommended.

Interesting. It formulaic.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

Reasonably well written with good characterisation and what appears to be good inside knowledge of this type of mc. Can't seem to make up it's mind whether it wants to be purely fiction or thinly disguised fact to reveal the workings/events of a real club. Enjoyable read nevertheless.
