Bikers are typically portrayed on film as dangerous, rebellious outlaws. But, to be fair, they have also been portrayed as cool, philosophical thinkers and confused, sensitive hunks. American-International handled the earliest portrayals in Motorcycle Gang and Dragstrip Riot in the fifties, and then satirized them in Eric Von Ripper and his gang in the beach movies that were popular in the sixties. From then on, biker films were known for their shock value, and when they lost their shock value, they ran out of road.
