A documentary for motorcyclists.

American Biker (2015)

This one hour documentary talks about the love of motorcycles and motorcycle riding. The film doesn't go the route (and extent) of Bruce Brown's "On Any Sunday" franchise, that deals with all of the different motorcycle sports (racing, hill-climbing, etc.). Personally, Bryan H. Caroll's "Why We Ride" (2013) is a far superior documentary about the passion riders have with motorcycle riding in general, but "American Biker" is a smaller, but interesting film.

It mostly deals with an impromptu motorcycle club and their annual group rides but also interviews motorcycle owners, dealers, repairmen, and home modification hobbyists. The documentary also covers the various aspects and attitudes of motorcyclists about helmet laws, clubs, gangs, group rides, benefits etc. This is a movie for and about motorcycles and the people who love them. If you're one of those, this movie will be enjoyable to you.
