Original edition published in 1997; limited edition released in 2001. This edition consists of 50 numbered copies, signed by Lyon, in a deluxe clamshell box, with an original 4 3/4 x 7 inch gelatin silver print, "Sparky and Cowboy (Gary Rogues), Schererville, Indiana," in a window-mat for presentation (print edition of 50 also numbered and signed by Lyon). - From the publisher: "In 1968, a small and unassuming book of photographs featuring America's bikers was published. Little note was taken of its release, and it rather quietly disappeared. Today The Bikeriders is recognized as a seminal work of documentary photography by one of a new generation of photographers. In it an iconographic American landscape of violence, freedom, drugs and sex unfolded before Danny Lyon's lens. Brando and Dean made real, at once exhilarating and disappointing, magnetic and frightening. The accompanying text includes an introduction by the artist, and some of the bikers' stories told in interviews and first-person accounts. This is a reissue of Danny Lyon's long-out-of-print, and much-sought-after first book, treasured both as a cult classic and a standard of photojournalism. Updated and printed in sheet-fed gravure, The Bikeriders is here presented for the first time as Danny Lyon had originally envisioned it."
