Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Whether serious, funny, historical, shocking, or just plain weird, biker movies forged a permanent place in popular culture, shaping, reflecting, and even spoofing the biker lifestyle. The first book to explore biker movies and how they informed the public's perception of bikers provides a fascinating view of why "straights" remain fascinated by the image of the outlaw biker. Author Mike Seate is a motorcyclist, columnist, film critic, and motorcycle journalist.
