1974 Harley-Davidson ad in Playboy Magazine.

Its in some guys from the day theyre born. Everything they do tells the world, Im my own man. Free in spirit. A lot of these dudes ride a Harley-Davidson FX-1200. An ego trip, dedicated to freedom and goodtime cycling. . . [From the ad copy]

What do sociologists have to say?

There's no denying the adrenaline rush that comes from a motorcycle ride. This thrill, this exhilaration, stimulates the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure and satisfaction. This biochemical reaction partially explains the sheer joy many riders experience. . .

There is a cultural stereotype that views motorcycling as a male-dominated activity. This can make it difficult for women to feel welcome and encouraged to participate.
