Motorcycles are so much more than mere transportation; symbols of rebellion, freedom, and power, they have influenced much in our culture, from clothing to movies. "Motorcycle Legends" is a unique pop culture history of motorcycling in North America, featuring great large-format photography of stunning vintage and current motorcycles, plus rare archival photographs, historical images, brochures, artwork, advertisements, and collectibles. Chapters detail the development of motorcycles in the United States, looking at themes such as road bikes, racing, motorcycling culture, prominent figures such as the Hell’s Angels and Evel Knievel, and entertainment such as The Wild One and Easy Rider.
