Hollister the Birthplace of the “American Biker”
There are some notable items relating to the Hollister motorcycle rally. First, the City of Hollister is the birthplace of the “American biker.” This is because of an “incident” in 1947. Back then, some bikers had a little too much fun. But it was blown of proportion.
Notably, the incident got a lot of media attention. But there were fabrications and exaggerations. For instance, the infamous picture of a guy sitting on a motorcycle with beer bottles all around him was set up the day after the “incident.” This began the persona of a biker.
In addition, the “incident” in Hollister inspired Marlon Brando’s movie “The Wild One.” With these two items, the persona of the American biker was born.
