Description

For better or worse, the primary images most non-riders have of motorcyclists come from Hollywood. These images either reflect or exaggerate the reality of the two-wheeled experience. Writer and motorcyclist Mike Seate explores and explains the myths and misconceptions of riders and riding from the post-WWII restlessness of Marlon Brando's Wild One to Britain's Mods and Rockers battles, to the chopper operas of the sixties to today. Takes a long, critical look at the hits and misses of the biker movie canon.
