Title and specific salutation of Harley bikers are taboo. And yet (or perhaps because of) owners with ordinary professions transform at leisure time to motorcycle heroes, at mos remarkable by their light advanced age. Whether this 'Born to be Wild' feeling really only based on the cult film Easy Rider in 1969 with Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson, or include the tradition of the still significantly maladjusted motorcycle gangs from the 50s?
