BIKE LUST: Harleys, Women & American Society
by Barbara Joans
GV 1059.52 .J63 2001

As a female motorcyclist, this book caught my eye a few years ago before I rode in the Iron Butt Rally, an endurance motorcycling event very few Harley riders or women compete in. I was interested in reading about the author’s anthropological perspective. As a woman in a male-dominated sport, endurance motorcycling, I was curious to see if she acknowledged the small population of women in the world of sport motorcycling. She didn’t.
Still, it’s a decent read for those curious about the biker culture in the U.S.
