In reality - I think that the term Biker has become synonymous with--
'Harley Davidson Rider' and that Motorcyclist is anyone else. For
those that haven't seen it - watch 'The Wild One' with Marlon Brando.
Between that and the book Hells Angels by Hunter S. Thompson I think
you'll see the genesis of 'Biker' in the public perception. Perhaps
some influence from 'Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man' as well.
(Which BTW I think is a good flick - even if it doesn't have much
commentary on the 'Biker' culture)
By contrast - the much newer flick, Biker Boyz, brings a much
more modern kick to the old 'Biker' culture and I think is more
accurate as to todays motorcycle clubs. One of the main characters is
an attorney.
If you haven't seen any of these or read Hells Angels - you
should - if only to understand how some people perceive those of us on
two wheels.
