Hit the road with the hell-raising bikers who are born to be wild!
Are they simply a brotherhood of bikers, from whom the public has nothing to fear, apart from the occasional bad apple? Or are they billion dollar crime organisations, involved in drugs, gun-running and murder? Or does the truth lie somewhere in between?
The leather-jacketed, long-haired biker on the open road is a modern American icon. A symbol of freedom, and of rebellion, the image was immortalised and romanticised, in iconic movies like 'The Wild One' and 'Easy Rider'. But there has always been a dark side to this love affair.
