Though Harley-Davidson enjoyed a mostly wholesome reputation in the beginning (Clark Gable was a devotee), in 1947 Life magazine ran a chilling article about a California town terrorized by gangs of motorcycle punks. In reality, the motorcycle anarchy was little more than a few drunken revelers at a Fourth of July bike convention, but from that momentous point on, the motorcycle was perceived as a menace to society. Outlaw Machine chronicles not only the evolution of Harley-Davidson motorcycles themselves, but this social history as well, including the rise of Hell's Angels and the counterculture classic Easy Rider, to take us on a wild ride through some of our country's most fascinating terrain.
