About This Item
[Motorcycle Culture] Photo archive of 44 color and black and white photographs of bikers from the 70s-80s in California, possibly the Modesto Harley Davidson club chapter as one man's vest reads "Modesto". Photos measure between 1" x 1" - 3.5" x 5. The majority, if not all, of the bikes are Harley Davidsons. Many photos are of either bikers on their motorcycles or prideful shots of the bikes alone. Shown are different models, some with custom classic flame paint jobs. Men and women bikers are seen throughout atop their motorcycles, driving down open highways, gathering together at meet ups and camping out at pit stops for longer trips. One photo shows two long haired men from the 70s inspecting their bike, owner's writing en verso reads "First day out of the garage getting ready to start it for the first time after 1 1/2 years of building it pi[e]ce by pi[e]ce." Another interesting photo shows a picture of the cameraman sitting in the bed of a Chevy pickup taking "in action" motorcycle shots. Other photos show the rebellious and free spirit of bikers flying down highways and giving the viewer "the bird" or a peace sign. The motorcycle club culture found it's footing after out of place WWII troops needed to reestablish their community identity. Decades later, biker clubs exist as a formative American subculture identifying with freedom, pride, and camaraderie. Some photos are clipped at the corners, one has a magnet glued to the back. Overall this collection is in very good condition.
