History of origin Biker movement originated in the 1950 s in the United States, has joined into Europe and Russia in the 1970 s (in the USSR in the 1980 s, they were called "rockers"), some time was a part of the subculture, when the bikers were divided into several aggressive and warring factions.
Until recently, the term "biker" applies only to the owners of choppers and necessarily associated with remote far ahead of the front wheel, plenty of chrome, leather, long hair and beard motorcyclist. However, since the late 90 s on the roads began to appear more and more often with high-revving motorcycle and improved aerodynamics plastic fairings - sportbike. Old-school bikers Sport bikers
For a long time sport bikers not recognized "true" bikers as members of the biker community, even this gesture as a welcome show of hands at a meeting on the road, they are not covered. The reason for this confrontation lay in the shape of a motorcycle and driving style. High speed sportbike and rider in full equipment, more like an astronaut in a spacesuit, has nothing to do in the understanding of the old school biker with the appearance of the true biker.
Most respected bikers are considered motorcycles, hand made with skill and rich imagination. More often than not they belong to the class of choppers, custom bikes, or (hand-built bike with plenty of aftermarket parts), very different from the assembly line came down and having a distinct personality. Some clubs put certain demands to the volume of the engine (for example, not less than 750 cc) or brand of motorcycle.
Another important manifestation of the biker subculture are numerous bike shows, rallies of bikers, motor show and other activities associated with motorcycles. Most of these activities have the character of the show with guest musicians, strippers, stunt. Important component is the use of alcoholic beverages, especially beer.
