Fumiaki Fukuda - One Night Carnival



Amazing and brilliantly designed bosozoku book from Fukada, Yuji Moriya, Kazutoshi Sumitomo, and Mutsuhito Fujio. Rideouts, bikes, onesies, girl gangs, more bikes, bikers, badges, weapons and so on. Sits nicely along with the work of Seiji Kurata and co. Seriously underrated. 

The Devils played the Rouge



Wow! Very scarce. The best Bosozoku book by far- this one focusses on all female gangs, and it's amazing. Riding and hanging out with the ladies jokers and the rat racing gang, profiles on baby face, midnight rose and loads of brilliant pictures of custom boiler suits, gowns, new wave make up and lots of other tough girl stuff. Great.

Danny Lyon - The Bikeriders


Lyon's first book. Cult photo essay on bikers folowing the Chicago Outlaws. A true classic of 60s biker culture. Beautiful. Cited in Parr / Badger, v1, 256; Roth 190-191; Open Book 236-237.
