A crew of burly, bearded men wearing black leather pants , hats, vests, and jackets appeared in the doorway of Rockbar, a dive at the very edge of the West Village in Manhattan. They looked around, confused, at the the sight of long-haired guys in broken glasses wearing comic-book T-shirts. They turned and walked out, not before I saw the back of one leather vest—a yellow circle enclosed by a blue and red male symbol and the words Empire City MC. The club is one of the oldest all-riding, all-gay, all-male motorcycle organizations in the world.

It's a straightforward partnership. Like Morecambe and Wise or Ant and Dec, motorcycles go hand in hand with men. Proper men, who like going to the pub and enjoy the company of women. When you see a big bike roar past, it's more than likely that the leathered up rider will be a man.
