Ward chases after a small batch of Matchless G45 racers stamped and branded as AJS 10Rs, which competed in the Venezuelan national championship. Contributors to their Roundtable offer fascinating new takes on the classic biker film, The Wild One (1953).
Other essays in this issue trace the more recent history of motorcycle rights: Gary L. Kieffner highlights police bias against motorcyclists in the American Southwest and Midwest, while Darilynn (Dee) McClure offers a tale of involvement in the movement. Plus, there's an interview with Sputnik, Chairman of the Texas Motorcycle Rights Association, as well as reviews of recent books and DVDs: Bodies in Motion, Feasting on Asphalt and The Pink Angels.
