Notes
An early 1960s art film of male bikers (motorcyclists) -- A 60s music soundtrack -- No dialog -- No women -- No expicit sex, but filled with homoerotic and Nazi symbolism -- For 25 years, atarting in the early 1990s, I have been a member of a similar gay bikers/leather club (without the Nazi/sadistic overtones) -- These clubs are among the oldest gay organizations in continuous existence in the United States -- See "Original Pride: The Satyrs Motorcycle Club" in film listing
