1970s

 

Since the 1980s bikes have been appearing in many more films to add excitement but not much more to the real plots of many films. Many more documentaries and television shows (like American Chopper) also became popular. Producers found that they could make documentaries on biker events, often sexual, or more adult films with biker titles, to cash in on motorcycle interest.
