California and motorcycles go way back. When Marlon Brando played a California biker in "The Wild One," he epitomized the biker outlaw culture. And the current TV hit "Sons of Anarchy" is set in a fictional town in San Joaquin County. Real-life California is packed with motorcycle clubs, including dozens of African-American groups.
