Bikers: Legend, Legacy and Life

Since the 1950s, the leather-clad motorcyclist has been the most potent image of the archetypal bad boy. Synonymous with anarchistic and anti-social behaviour, this two-wheeled menace has been the folk-law scourge of global suburbia for over five decades. Theirs is a world where two-wheeledvehicles, not people, are elevated to the status of cult icons.

Bikers: Legend, Legacy & Life is a painstakingly detailed chronicle of this unique band of nomadic desperado, a full circuit tour of the domain of the life-style Biker. Trawling deep into history to detail the early town-sieges of AmericaÂ’s mid-West in the 1940s, through to the British Mod and Rocker coastal clashes of the 1960s, the Easy Riders of the 1970s to the Street Fighters of the 21st Century, this publication offers the definitive insight into Biker Culture. As well as a factual chronicle, the book delves into the many misconceptions surrounding this most feared of subcultures, investigating whether there is any substance to societyÂ’s moral panic when faced with the evolution of the multi-faceted 21st century Biker.
