biker image
independent rebel and aggressive person.Such associations do man, when he hears about the bikers.And there are moments in history that fully confirm this.So, as an example we present the history that occurred in California.Several motorcyclists pretty drunk and went to ride through the streets of the city at night.Soon they were joined by other guys, of course, are not sober.Then what was recorded the first biker violence.But once is enough to create a certain image.
