Volume 4, Issue 1

Spring 2008

This issue focuses on iconic images of motorcycling and rebellion from the 1950s and '60s, from the post-war juvenile biker deliquent celebrated in the Shangri-Las' "Leader of the Pack" to rider-revolutionary Che Guevara to the famous Vincent Black Shadow, considered then, as now, synonymous with radical design. Contributors Lisa MacKinney from Australia, and Matthew Biberman and Barbara Brodman from the USA, take a range of approaches from memoir to music, poetry to politics, offering fresh ways of looking at motorcycles and motorcycling in an earlier era--and our own.
