What is it about motorcycles in economically developing foreign countries around the world? Maybe it's that motorcycles have always been a cheap form of transportation as well as the fact that there are many motorcycle enthusiasts who love nothing more than to carry their motorcycle helmet bags with them as they travel on their open air bike.

Lots of myths, lifestyles, and subcultures have been built around motorcycles. A Harley bikers' group roars by and everyone sports a head scarf with motorcycle helmet bags on one arm and black jackets draped on the other. Caf racers cruise around with their classic helmets on and motorcycle helmet bags on the side. Mod racers speed by, each with a colorful helmet on their heads and equally colorful helmet bag and gears on their cycles' saddlebags. Rockers won't be left behind with creative and outrageous helmet designs, helmet bag and saddlebag varieties, motorcycle gear types, and wild designs on their bikes. Each group espouses a different lifestyle forming its own subculture.

The variety of color and style in motorcycling is not limited to just subcultures; clubs and social take on their own colors. Some social groups focus on ownership of a particular brand of bike. Members of groups dedicated to Harley Davidson will of course ride Harleys, but will likely wear Harley Boots, Jackets, Vests and helmets and carry Harley brand motorcycle helmet bags, saddle bags; even key chains! Members of BMW MOA groups will carry and wear only gear made by their brand - whether it be clothing, protective parts, motorcycle helmet bags or accessories. These more informal groups come together for many reasons - to help charities, to celebrate a part of society, to leave society for a short period, or simply because the riders love the experiences they gain.

Aside from the more informal groups, there are associations that have an organized structure and exude more influence. The riders involved in these groups usually rally for some change, whether politically or within the larger society. These groups may come together in support of laws to protect motorcyclists on the roads, and have symbols and designs on their clothes, motorcycles, helmets, motorcycle helmet bags and accessories. These groups may start small, but can bloom into large organizations which can gain considerable sway as a political organization as they develop. Clubs dedicated to motorcycles can serve additional purposes, as well. These range from a desires of seeing the country side and enjoying the road, to testing their skills via non-professional races, to more professional for-profit races (both off and on road), to stunts requiring special skills and extra courage to extreme - or Xtreme - sport riding. One can almost certainly bet that each of the group's members has a unique range of gear, accessories, clothes, helmets, saddle bags and motorcycle helmet bags. Of course, it would be neglectful to not mention the illegal motorcycle groups; but these are a fraction of all clubs dedicated to bikers. Some of these bikers ride in illegal racing tournaments, or create havoc via traffic violations or other deliberate 'minor' offenses.

Finally, it would be improper to fail to mention that the ladies have their own motorcycling subgroups. These clubs - dedicated to and required as membership being a woman - focus on more feminine apparel. These particular bikers tend to wear jackets, boots, pants and other clothes that emphasize their shape and sexiness. Besides their clothing, this particular subgroup brings to the biker mythology more 'feminine color' in the form of pink shaded helmets, motorcycle helmet bags and even saddlebags.
