  • Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index
    Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index I have a long history and fondness for Rod & Custom magazine. This is the first magazine I purchased at age 10, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I often refer back to my collection, but find it hard to quickly lay my hands on a given article. This is for fellow HAMB members who share a love for this little magazine. This Index covers Rod & Custom Magazine from May 1953 through May 1974. I stopped at 1974 since R&C went out of print then. R&C was restarted in December 1988 and lasted until October 2014. This index is created for general reference, technical reference, research, tracing automobile histories, and genealogy. I have attempted to use a consistent categorization or article grouping scheme across all 20+ years, even though editors or previous compilations may not have used this convention. This index contains the following specific information: Title of each article along with a descriptive supplement such as club affiliation, noted customizers, past owners, professions, etc. The author’s and/or photographer’s name where space allowed. Featured vehicle year, make, model, & engine and/or engine displacement where available or where space allowed. Vehicle owner name, city and state. Where the country is other than the United States, I listed the country Product manufacturer name, city and state. Address may be included if space allowed. The month and page number of each feature article or photograph. The index is sorted by year, and a title at the top of each page indicates which year.

  • Make Way for the Biker: Media and Swedish Motorcycle Culture
    Make Way for the Biker: Media and Swedish Motorcycle Culture Lars Lagergren Prelude Since the late 1960s, researchers at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at Birmingham University, England, have studied youth cultures, trying to find a pure subculture which had not yet been corrupted and commercialised by the agents of the hegemonic culture. Since then there has been an unspoken truth that such subcultures, at least for a short period of time, really do exist. In the CCCS case, it was youth cultures such as Rockers, Mods, Skinheads and Punk. These subcultures, which were closely connected with class at one point, started out fresh and unspoiled in a local context, yet later became almost public property. One of the most important agents in this transformation, from local and pure to international and commercial, was—and to an even greater extent is—the media. This essay will explore the interaction between specific subcultures and the media in Sweden from 1945 to 2000. My aim is to show the effect the sometimes close interaction between a subculture and the media has had on the particular subculture. The Swedish motorcycle culture contains a number of subcultures that all have the motorcycle as the central symbolic object. What generally differs between these subcultures, from an insider’s perspective, is how the motorcycle functions as a cultural object which has the power to influence the behavior, style and rituals of the member of the particular subculture. For instance, owners of a Harley-Davidson chopper dress, behave and drive differently from the owner of a Japanese race machine or a German touring cycle.
