Biker Parties

Bikers are a very close-knit group of people. Perhaps it is due to the hours spent riding the roads with the wind in their hair or perhaps it is the “us against them” attitude that many early rebel bikers had. Regardless of how the bonds began, it is a very strong one. Besides riding together, bikers like to bond at biker parties.

If you have never been to a biker party, you can get a good idea of what one would be like by watching the scenes in the movie Mask, starring Cher and Sam Elliot. One scene shows the bikers in a wooded area. There is music and a campfire burning as bikers are drinking and exchanging stories. You can see the camaraderie and friendship by the way the bikers greet each other as new ones arrive at the party. Biker parties are never very formal, but everyone who attends can be guaranteed of a raucous good time. Another scene in the movie shows the bikers pulling up to the house of Rocky (Cher’s character). Biker parties can be loud not only because the music being played (always rock-n-roll or heavy metal), but the sounds of the motorcycles, especially if they are Harley Davidson motorcycles. However, biker parties may vary depending on the age of the bikers, the type of bikes they are driving, maybe even the area of the country in which they are being held.

Biker parties can have a more rebellious and dark side than shown in the movie. Many biker parties are riddled with drug usage, even that was shown in Mask. One thing that was not shown in the movie is nudity. Many biker parties include the woman, sometimes referred to as biker chicks, taking off at least part of their clothing, if not all. Because of activities like this, in some people’s minds, biker parties have a bad connotation attached to them.
