I doubt if they are a thing of the past. I had a client when I was with Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners at the U of Minnesota Law School who was a member of a Wisconsin Minnesota motorcycle gang. I was overjoyed that I did not have to have any dealings with them after I graduated in May of 1989. One of my law students would have had to take care of it. I am pretty sure that gang is still there in the Upper Midwest. Good Question: How Much Of A Threat Are Biker Gangs? - CBS Minnesota


Most motorcycle enthusiasts though are dentists, teachers, stock brokers, librarians, etc. A very small number are in these violent gangs.

I appreciate the recommendation and from what I've read it is a good show. That said, one of the comments I read online mentioned it really nails the "white trash aesthetic."

Now maybe this reviewer was incorrect in their assessment but Hollywood loves this narrative currently and there are no shortage of shows that examine this. I'm old enough to remember the negative stereotypes of women and minorities on TV during the 60s and 70s. It was wrong then to regularly depict any identity in a negative manner and I'd argue it is still wrong today.
