It is not widely known that the Salinas Ramblers figured prominently in the 1947 incident that was popularized by the movie 'The Wild Ones'.  This movie is considered ground zero for the outlaw biker movement.   Most of the web sites concerning the incident focus on  the activities in downtown Hollister and rowdy bikers like Wino Willy and his Booze fighter compatriots.   In fact there were two activities going on in Hollister that Fourth of July weekend.  One was the motorcycle races being held at Bolado Park.  The other was a gypsy tour that was promoted by the Salinas Ramblers.  The images on this page were provided my the American Heritage Motorcycle Museum and we thank them for their assistance.
