Riassunto

They look like a cross between a Victorian lavatory cistern and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and they come in such colours as wineberry pearl, sapphire sun-glo and chrome black. But if you want to ride a motorbike with style nothing comes close to the Harley Davidson. Dennis Hopper started it all in the 1960s when he sweated his way across America on his H-D in the cult film "Easy Rider" and, to the strains of Jimi Hendrix, made these bikes seem big, bad and sexy. Arnold Schwarzenegger was back as the "Terminator" last year astride a menacing black number. Serious bikers have always admired their craftsmanship and Hell's Angels have customized them. But it is only in the past few years that H-D's have become a fashion accessory of the rich and would-be famous. Now, in Britain alone, there are 30,000 Harley owners drawn from all walks of life - peers to policemen, stockbrokers to sausagemakers, all with their own individualistic Harley style. This book takes a look at the many varied characters who have made the Harley a way of life, and what binds them together. It also provides an insider's look at the events they attend all over the world and what goes on at them, and the vast array of Harley Davidsons they turn up on.
