Description

A fascinating & comprehensive chronicle of a century’s worth of the biker culture, the bikers, & the bikes themselves. What began as a subculture of misfits & outlaws has grown into a society of men & women who celebrate the freedom of the open road & the brotherhood among bike enthusiasts. Beginning in 1895, this book traces the development of the modern bike, with special attention to Harley-Davidson’s contributions to the quality of the machines as well as the aesthetics of biker society. Fascinating sidebars highlight the particular characteristics of the culture. Explores the sociopolitical events that have culminated in the great biker nation that we know today. Includes more than 200 photos of bikes & bikers across the decades.
