Product Description
Over time the image of the biker has changed somewhat. Although fear denim and leather beards and stringy long hair still come to mind when one thinks of a biker. Much of what we know about motorcycles we learned from television or movies. Who are these people we call bikers? Who are the men and now women who share our roadways. Are they dangerous? Are they really the bad boys? American Bikers and Choppers will give all the answers and more. Check out the coolest rides and find out how Harley Davidsons culture has influenced native Americans as well as foreign followers.System Requirements:Running Time: 84 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SPORTS/GAMES UPC: 090204612208 Manufacturer No: SPI011

 Amateur Playhouse April 8, 2008
This video was extremely amateurish. The questions asked by the hostess Maria were lame, re-enforcing the stereotype that girls don't know squat about machines. She didn't do her homework. At one point in a motorcycle museum, the curator shows her a vintage Indian motorcycle and she responds with "What's an Indian?"
At the Rendezvous Rally held in upstate New York, the camera work is horrible. People walking in front of the camera as an interview is in progress. These folks obviously never heard of editing. While covering a fun motorcycle game called Potato in a Haystack, the camerawoman doesn't seem to be looking through the viewfinder as she gets better shots of the grass as she runs in and out to attempt to capture the action. My bet is there was much better video shot at this event by other amateurs than the "professionals" accomplished.
There is very little coverage of Daytona which is often referred to as the premier biker party and there is NO mention of Sturgis. There is footage of bikers in Russia that seems to be stock footage they found somewhere.
I'm giving this video 2 stars and I'm being kind because I like Maria's tattoos.
