How did bikers and military service get so closely linked? Or do I have it wrong and it's just a pretention that's prevalent online.
I'm not trying to discount the respect bikers have for GIs, but as someone that's been affiliated with the military for 31 years, the feeling doesn't seem to be reciprocated. I'll freely admit it's outside my realm of experience though and I'd like to hear about someone else's point of view on the matter. Are a lot of bikers veterans?
After world war 2 many veterans felt disenfranchised with modern American life and found it very difficult to readjust to civilian life. So a select band of them bought motorcycles, turned their back on modern society and took to the roads.
N.B - None of them owned or bought Japanese bikes, NOT ONE.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
