Speaking of which, for the most part, Sons Of Anarchy also gets the motorcycles pretty much right. Which is good, because they tend to be pretty important in biker gangs. It's right there in the name, after all. The cruising models of bikes that SAMCRO use to get around are of the same kind actual motorcycle gangs ride; that said, they don't spend quite as much time fixing them up as actual bikers do, which might be down to the fact that their "garage" is nothing more than a front for their less legal business. Plus you can watch American Chopper if you want to see burly dudes arguing about carburetors. They also don't spend as much time riding their bikes as other gangs, who often travel over great distances on their two-wheelers, will actually use them to go all across the country - rather than just farting around in made-up Californian towns. But still, the bikes, the bikes! They're all rather true to life, with the majority of SAMCRO riding Harley Davidsons of various sorts, oftentimes with some customised elements. Plus the entire cast actually learned how to ride them properly, so they get that right and all. Well done, Sutter, that's two for two...
