Folklife Collection - Folklore of Motorcycle Riding

by Salisbury University Students (1994)

1 folder (0.1 linear feet)

In a series of interviews of local Eastern Shore residents in 1994, Salisbury University students and teachers collected folk life material. For this project, Richard Wiesberg and Chad Metzinger researched about the folklore related to motorcycle riding. They interviewed two fellow bikers with completely opposite inclinations to ask them why they preferred their style of motorcycle over another (cruising vs. sport). Several characteristics of this folk group such as clothing and nonverbal communication are also discussed, along with some accounts of violent accidents.
