I remember that era. Guys working on their own bikes. Couldn’t afford a shop. Getting run off the road by cagers in trucks. Getting pulled over because of riding. Getting harassed. Oh ya. Those were the days. Freedom was more abundant then. People are still, even more so afraid of freedom. 69 now and I still ride.

My wife and I have tickets to see the movie tomorrow. I’m definitely looking forward to it.

Love this. I’ve admired Lyon’s photography for many years. Never knew that he was a 1%er.

I love the photo of the Outlaw on the bridge. That's the 2nd st bridge over the Ohio River from Jeffersonville Indiana to Louisville KY. I've walked it many times. Always makes me think of home and the bikers I grew up with.

I wish this was longer!!!! Loved it!

this is what i remember. this is why i started messing around with old bikes. because THEY WERE CHEAP!! the people were not as stereotyped as they are today. it was a poor guy's sport. fun! (by the way, the music was great; not the usual 'tough guy' cheese...)

Here after seeing the trailer for the Bikeriders probably my most anticipated film of the year since i'm a biker myself,since 2018

well...saw it last Friday Didn't liked it that much but was pretty good also as a nonsmoker the amount of smoking in this movie haha Also lol not a single helmet used ey if that guy that hit that car and died would have wore one he would have probably lived I had an accident myself couple weeks ago,hit a van,helmet and jacket did the job,i'm fine,need to replave handlebars and brake lever tho at bike,parts arrived,getting the bike to the shop this wednesday

Just saw it. I thought it was great.

My Mom dated “Andy” (Chicago VP late 1960’s) when I was a kid. He was kind to me. Met Angels too (Funny Sonny and Cowboy). They were riding together at that time. Partying stuff. 🍀 He’s leaning on the pool table pic.

The midwestern bikers had that real 1950s greaser look, as opposed to the west coast, where it was more of a hippy style.

He casually mentions he was an Outlaw, then the pace picks up. This was a good video. I'd actually like to talk to this guy, he seems very intelligent and also has a lot of sense.

Good on you for repping the Abe’s fly shop shirt. Best place for all your fishing gear and trips outa Navajo dam Nm.

Awesome...

Nothing wrong with being a little crazy.

This is what the new film "the bikeriders" with tom hardy is all based on

I'm here for The Bikeriders (2024)

review: it's the Good, Bad, & Ugly- the vintage photos are phenomenal. the interviews are 60/40. the best ones are "Meeting the Angels", "Drag Bike", "Chopped Scooter", and "Chase"- all involving technical aspects of the bikes, and high speed chases. Kathy's account of "Red Dress" is remarkable. So is Cal's account of "Army", and Johnny's "on funerals". However, on some of the interviews you find yourself just reading about how dysfunctional some of these people were. Drinking wine until you wreck you bike, the end up in the hospital, and drinking wine and beer in the hospital snuck in for you ? that's just moronic stupidity, asinine self destruction. "Picnic" about how filthy, disgusting one can be, eating a caterpillar, climbing a hill with a chopper, wrecking, vomiting on yourself, uh...that's cool ? It's not even worth repeating. One guy's many attempts to join the Marines but keeps not being able to get a ride there and sober ? It's not an attractive historic read material. It projects a junkyard life image of slummin' it. Not the open road with your hair blowing in the wind to the rumble of a V-twin. some of these guys were real losers. Yet, there is enough there for a good movie, the trailer looked really good, and I look forward to it....finally, yes, I'd not want the author to leave out one word, or change a thing, cuz it's 100% HONEST and TRUTHFUL. overall great work. I'd love to own, work on, ride one of those vintage bikes. awesome. thanks for adding the extra pics to the newest edition.

Good majority were vets from ww2

Impressive that Lyon is 8 years older than me and this energetic! I'm a lifetime rider, but dirt not street. I was a teenager when these were taken and noticing even then that the "biker" types in Jr High and High School always wore jeans and vests and such...which were illegal in my school. Haha. Most of the women btw seemed to have giant 50s beehive hairdos. Outstanding stuff for early immersive journalism. I like the framing of the photos on many of the shots: out the window, fence in the foreground, etc.

Is that a picture of a Hells Angel riding pillion with an Outlaw.?

Yes it is. His name is Funny Sunny. Back then there weren't a lot of politics between clubs and it wasn't uncommon for guys to breeze in and out of town and hang out with other local bikers.

This is Milwaukee-Chicago in mid-60's. I list Milwaukee first, because the Brew City dominated.

So rad

i started riding in the sixties. big clubs then the Aliens in the bronx, nomads in manhattan the Breed in new jersey.

the bikers did not evolve from rock n roll. It was the WW2 vets.

Back in the good old days when bikers rode on panheads and were actually fit

I love this. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about the 81.

I apologize, I spoke too soon. Yesterday I found an image (2 actually) of the original John Davis.

So when you think about it it was the Outlaws that started the culture not the HellsAngels. Everyone is saying Hollister or HellsAngels. It all started with the Outlaws.

Cool background music. Anyone know the tune that starts at 4:58, is it a band or original production made for the series?

I enjoyed until the very end. Thank you.

The advent of the "outlaw bikers" marked the first time in American history when the natural or normative maturation of boys did not have them automatically progress into men taking their wise patriarchal place in society, rather they diverged into arrested development cases and crime. The phenomena has only become more pronounced since then with the consequent detriment to the country.

yeah, didnt happen after the civil war, or wwii, or viet nam for that matter...." natural or formative maturation of boys.." shalped by war and finally distrust/disgust with the people supposedly running things, so dropping out or going your own way and finding like minded people groups... nah, not normal at all

I cant read...forgive me

It seems that freedom is something that cannot be experienced if not by fighting for it.

the Boozefighters were the original 1%ers
