1988. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show introduces us to Malcolm Forbes and the new niche of motorcycle riding, ‘Rich Urban Bikers’.
“I think it’s just the freedom feeling, everybody talks about it but it’s real. I think it’s like the cowboy in the west with his horse — we in the east have our horsepower…”
We hear about Mr. Forbes fabulous adventures around the world, on one occasion even carrying Elizabeth Taylor along for the ride. Also shown is a clip from the 1974 “Angels Forever, Forever Angels”, for a look at the classic perception of motorcycle clubs. That perception has changed as many more appreciate the freedom of the open road, from businessmen to lawyers and beyond.
Mr. Malcom Forbes passed away in 1990.
