Since writing this post I realized that I know very little about the subculture of bikers, even tentatively speak terminology on this subject. So I will try to write intuitively correct, but if anything, please correct. Especially do not want to climb the search engine, I want only to describe their experiences. The fact is that during my recent visit to the race for survival, I had the opportunity to not only make a few portraits of real bikers, motorcycle club members "Night Wolves", but also completely changed my idea of the biker movement in general. What can and misunderstanding, but will tell you how to eat.
My first impressions of bikers come alive in the memory of the year 1987 that way. Then we have some guys in the area removed from their motorcycle mufflers and drove on streets at night, earning himself so secret and transparent right proudly known as "bikers." A lot of backlash provoked night noise in adult residents of the area, which in turn will convince those bikers that they are on the right track of development. As my growing up, biker image was added to the scenarios of American movies, where bikers often presented as a kind of criminal group differs from others of its own symbolism ("Flowers") and longing for "Harley."
But this collective image is in the past ...
2. Last Saturday I photographed the race is gradually moving along the perimeter of the track. Suddenly I heard a number of admiring exclamation: "You're just what you look mashinaaaa !!!". Look at what really was it looked like this:
I can not speak for all bikers, but representatives of the motorcycle club "Night Wolves" - are adults, athletic and balanced with the outside world people. I hope to see them 15th in Sebastopol, may be able to do some more good shots.
