It is the first series in which Lyon immersed himself fully and subjectively into the lives of his subjects in a manner akin to the documentary style of 1960s-era New Journalism by writers such as Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe. Lyon began photographing dirt track motorcycle races while at the University of Chicago, purchasing a bike and attending meetings across the Midwest. Around this time, he hitchhiked south to Cairo, Illinois, where he photographed his first demonstration and met members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the youth wing of the civil rights movement. Lyon continued to work informally for the SNCC while finishing his studies. After graduating in June 1963, he joined the SNCC as its first staff photographer, remaining in the role until mid-1964, when fraught internal politics and his own ambitions meant it was time to move on. Lyon returned to Chicago in 1965 and continued photographing motorcycle races and track meetings. Work on The Bikeriders began in earnest when, at the invitation of a mechanic repairing his Triumph, he attended a meeting of the Chicago Outlaws and joined them as a member. Over the following year, Lyon photographed and conducted candid interviews with these gang members. Later, in a letter to a prospective publisher, he described the Outlaws as 'probably the only thing like cowboys left in America'. By joining their ranks, he demonstrated that he wanted to be one of them and could describe their way of life from the inside out.

Lyon, Danny. THE BIKERIDERS with an Original Vintage Print. The Macmillan Company, New York, 1968.
Price: US$3750.00 + shipping
Description: First printing of Lyon's influential work, with an original vintage print of his photograph "Route 12, Wisconsin," the book's iconic cover image. Lyon's photo book documenting the Chicago Outlaws motorcycle club delivers some of the most iconic images associated with biker culture, including the indelible cover image additionally represented here by an original vintage print from the collection of Steve Dalber, Lyon's roommate at the University of Chicago. In contrast to many photographers he is often associated with, Lyon embedded himself within the communities he photographed, giving the viewer an inside look at the subject. As with Lyon's other publications, text is an integral part of THE BIKERIDERS; stories from the photographer as well as the voices of a number of bikeriders situate the photographs within the context of the biker subculture and the culture at large. 9'' x 6.5''. Original black and white photographic wraps. x, 94 pages. Light edgewear, with a small scuff to head of spine and faint creasing to corners. Scattered foxing to pages throughout. With: original vintage double weight 8'' x 10'' black and white photograph. Faint creasing and foxing, mostly restricted to white border.
