US 1950’s biker culture all seemed a bit irrelevant to me, Laurie Taylor seemed to be trying to categorise all motorcyclists as Marlon Brando wannabes. The question “Is there such a thing as a middle-class biker?” was particularly silly.
That we’re principally white and male though, is something the programme could have explored better. Hollywood stereotyping doesn’t seem a good enough explanation, yet the PhD from Manchester didn’t get beyond that. What was interesting was her point on safety: that other road users find us intimidating so ignore us to reduce the stress… rather like the peril-sensitive sunglasses from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. :lol

some people judge us without having a clue what they're on about, I remember some politician's wife a while back remarking "motorcyclists? those morons dressed in black rubber suits,what the hell is that about?" pathetic. :finger

She meant Scuba Divers, easy mistake to make, not a lot of difference.
