Outlaw Bikers: An American Dream

Automobiles were too expensive for average American families until Henry Ford created a continuous moving assembly line in 1913. During the first part of the 1900s, relatively low-cost motorcycles became the nation's most popular form of motorized transportation. Early small, low-power cycles evolved into today's huge, powerful bikes. The tide has turned, at least to a degree, on price comparisons between motorcycles and cars. In some instances, new high-end motorcycles cost more than new-model cars.

For the most part, motorcycle clubs or informal groups that enjoyed motorcycling in the 1920s and 1930s were friendly social groups. Large-scale outlaw cycle groups had not been launched. During that era, cycle enthusiasts formed the American Motorcycle Association (AMA), which has never sanctioned outlaw-style club activities. Early motorcycle clubs enjoyed dressing snazzy, in fancy jackets and plumed pants that looked like riding britches folks wore on horses.

Outlaw clubs spread like wildfire after World War II.
