Lots of people know who Sugarbear is these days, but few people know who Benny Hardy is. Here are two segments from the show "History of the Chopper", one on Sugarbear and the other on Benny Hardy. Its amazing to me the depth of the influence and participation of the black culture on the motorcycle culture during the 50's & 60's. I grew up knowing nothing about this and thinking bikers were just a bunch of white dudes. Shows you what I know. Watch and learn people, the world is an amazing place when we open our eyes to the brilliance that has come before us. Thanks to George The Painter for turning me on to this.
