Who such bikers?

To understand that such байкерская culture, it is necessary to understand, with what all began, to track, as this culture developed. 1868-1900 were an era of formation моторизированного a bicycle. The first mention of a motorcycle concerns 1868 - then the Frenchman by name of Louis Perot has constructed model which named Velocipede. Velocipede represented a bicycle with the steam engine established on him. The creation the Feather has patented on December, 26th, 1868. But really motorcycles began to develop only since 1885 when German Godfreid Daimler has established an internal combustion engine on a bicycle frame. Some times Daimler tested the model, but when once because of malfunction trousers of his son have lit up, he has decided to refuse the idea. He has declared that motorcycles don't have future. Though he also was mistaken concerning motorcycles, his company became in due course one of the largest manufacturers of cars in the world, and now she is known to us, as Mercedes-Benz. Soon after that in USA there were firms which on the foreground put forward working out of motorcycles, among them: Pope, Yale, Excelsior, Indian and Harley-Davidson. Firm Harley has started to work in 1903, and today it is the oldest in the world the manufacturer of motorcycles who continues to work. All байкерская culture follows from culture American. Not so long ago one Frenchman criticized the United States: "America is the lost country, cultural desert, at you, Americans, aren't present any culture in general, the only thing that you have given to the world - a rock'n'roll and Harley-Davidson." In reply to it Peter Fonda, the known actor, the convinced supporter and the representative of company Harley-Davidson has told: "Aha, can, and so, but, besides, it is more than anything and it is not necessary." (Both citations are taken from video American Motorcycle 1993 Daru Films). It is style of life it is necessary to notice that when the inhabitant thinks of bikers, he doesn't have an association from Honda or Ymaha, instead on mind comes Harley-Davidson. All байкерская culture was generated thanking Harley-Davidson. Turmoils Tucker (tattooer) from Washington, district of Columbia, tells about Harley-Davidson the following: "It is style of life, you live him, breathe, think and speak about him, it is one of few inanimate objects, which people so often want to see tattooed on the body." Certainly, Turmoils means that Harley-Davidson and байкерская culture it something such that became a part of that, than you eat that you drink, it with you when you sleep and are awake. It leaves traces on everything about what you speak, and on everything of what you think. Besides, image Harley-Davidson - the most popular tattoo in the world after all well-known a skull and a dagger which also associate with байкерской culture. To be the biker, seemingly, only two things are required: 1. A motorcycle (isn't necessary to be seven spans in a forehead that it to understand). 2. Love to a rock'n'roll. However the biker has a requirement to belong to any group. Bikers don't like to feel separately, as a result they unite in clubs, among which Crox Crue, Hell's Angels, Satan's Sons, Blood Brothers, CMA, King's Men and so on. To enter club not so it is simple, it is necessary to deserve the right to become the clubman and to wear club clothes. Often for this purpose bikers go on various reckless acts. For example, to become a member of one of clubs, the candidate should pass on high speed between two motorcycles rushing towards. There is this all at night, at the candidate the headlight should be switched off, and he is guided only by headlights of counter motorcycles. One of candidates too has late understood that two shone reference points belong not to two motorcycles, and one восемнадцатиколесному to the truck. Than similar dedication for the candidate has ended it is not necessary to explain. But what such - to be a member байкерского club? I have talked to the acquaintance who is the President of local branch of club Crox Crue in Kempton Park." To be the clubman, means to be free from rules, to do that is pleasant to you and when it you want it. To be the clubman, means to prove the courage or feminity, to struggle for freedom which is assumed by road. To be the clubman, means to communicate with people who think the same as also you, to participate in club райдах and actions. It is freedom to express such uniquely which approaches for you. "Wherever there was a biker, he always remains to those whom he is - the biker. Bikers never try to make impression of the person belonging to any other subculture. They don't try to conduct themselves, being arranged under others, bikers - always bikers, and this key rule to which they руководствуются.David Crosby (from Crosby, Stills and Nash) speaks:" For me to go by a motorcycle is a way to keep mind when all other world, seemingly, goes mad. You completely concentrate only on yourself both on road, and to such moments all the rest loses any meaning. "Style of life is also the constant risk. Late Malcolm Forbes (the multimillionaire who posessed magazine Forbes) has told once about dangers which are comprised by life of the biker:" It is impossible to live life, completely having insured itself from danger, life is dangerous in itself, sooner or later die all. "On his tomb the inscription is cut:" While he was live, he lived "(just in case: it hasn't broken on the motorcycle). Image of the biker When we hear a word "the biker", the first associations which are born - the rebel, hatred, racism, cruelty. Such image of the biker is created at the average person. When someone hears about" Hell's Angels ", he automatically thinks of grouping of people which worship to a devil, make the sorties to destroy our property and to force our children. But how similar image of the biker in consciousness of the average person was generated? How many people know, what the name" Hell's Angels "is taken from film Howard Hughes of 1930 with the same name, and officers the armies which have come back home after World War II have based movement? The first known case байкерского violence has occurred in Holistere, staff Californy, (during time a bike-rally) on July, 4th, 1947. Some bikers who have taken superfluous, have lost over themselves control and began to drive on streets. Soon others have joined them also and then already to supervise a situation wasn't real. After occurrence of messages on it state of emergency in a press, magnates of the film industry have quickly let out a film "Savage". In a film bikers were represented by ruthless people ready to destroy any city which will get to them on way which drink, how many will get, all try to transform into chaos and address with the population how him will like. Soon after a tape exit some representatives байкерской cultures began to live, imitating the image created by a film. Since then image of the biker became more and more negative. It is sad that separate representatives байкерской cultures promoted deterioration of this image. Bikers began to consider as cocky people which on all to spit which do that is pleasant to them when they will wish and how they would like. This image began to involve people who wanted to be such - rebels and teases which to spit on all the others. Today's image of the biker a little than differs, but in it bikers are guilty also. Bikes-festivals are similar one to another: a standard set of competitions during which time all get drunk to unconsciousness. On one of Show Hell's Angels in Walkerville I saw, how one guy has got drunk to such degree that went, has broken a forehead about a tree, has stopped and has started to make to a tree the apologies. Bikers try to be the sociable and unchained people. Them a little that interests, except the motorcycles, places for driving and speed. There are also exceptions, for example, children who go by RAT-motorcycles, try, that on road of their baize were the dirtiest, not most well-groomed and the most disgusting among all the others. If you the biker you are a part of international culture irrespective of, to what club you belong. Bikers like to be free from the authorities and don't like to receive orders from somebody, probably for this reason байкерские festivals so often come to an end with a general dump. Belief of the biker the Biker trusts in two things - in itself and in the motorcycle. It, however, can become a problem when the bike brings the owner. The whole world and all frame of reference in that case falls. Bikers, as a rule, atheists though is also such which worship to a devil, and such which are Christians. In summary, it would be desirable to notice the conclusion that bikers - cheerful people who want to be free from the authorities and rules, want to express freely themselves, and they want, that to them listened. Among them there are representatives of various social classes, and bikers accept each other such what they are actually.
