Biker: Truth and Myth: How the Original Cowboy of the Road Became the Easy Rider of the Silver Screen Review

More a series of well done pictorial and historical essays and synopses than a book, this is nevertheless a great, quick overview of all things "Biker". This would be a fine addition to anyone's motorcyling collection but perfect for two things: 1) to provide a newbie with a quick, well written and interesting overview of motorcycling, key events, clubs, and social perceptions and 2) to see how many biker movies, or other collectable items you own that are pictured in the book!!!!
The book is written as a breezy account of the origins of motocycles, some of the key brands (H-D and Indian of course, but some others as well), the way groups and clubs developed, different biker "eras", the motorcycling press, Hollywood's use of the biker image for it's exploitation films, and some of the turf battles and results of various motorcycle club wars. It covers a huge amount of ground and doesn't miss too much. AAAA+ for layout, photos and images. Also covers the historical and now much growing interest by women in motorcycling.
The author describes himself as a hardcore biker and he has obviously done a great deal of reasearch and assembled the book's photographs and images (some very rare) in a splendid way. He is also spot on for historical accuracy. If your big slab is covered in snow, this is the book you want to be reading in between your winter projects!!!!
If you ride, this book shows you who and what traveled your road before....
