Marlon Brando warf sich 1953 in eine schwarzlederne Perfecto-Biker-Jacke, hautenge Jeans und Chopper-Stiefel, setzte sich eine Fliegermütze auf und spielte in Der Wilde Johnny, den höhnischen Anführer des Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Im Jahr darauf verzichtete Tom of Finland in seinen Kunstwerken auf braunes Leder und schuf sich seine eigenen Wilden: muskulöse, hypermaskuline Rebellen , nun in schwarzes Leder gepresst und natürlich mit ordentlich PS zwischen den Beinen. Diesen Look übernahm noch im gleichen Jahr der Satyrs Motorcycle Club, der erste Club schwuler Biker - und ließ auf diese Weise Toms Fantasiewelt Wirklichkeit werden. Tom wäre natürlich nicht Tom gewesen, hätte er seinen neuen Schwulen-Ikonen keine eigene Note verliehen, indem er ihnen lederne Reithosen, kniehohe Stiefel und dazu Ledermützen verpasste und jedem Motorrad den Markennamen "Tom" auf den Tank schrieb. Toms Biker erschienen im Winter 1968 erstmals als zwei "Motorradburschen" in Physique Pictorial . Ein weiterer schaffte es auf die Titelseite der April-Ausgabe von 1960. Von da an beherrschten Biker den Inhalt von PP , sowohl in Würdigung seiner amerikanischen Leserschaft als auch infolge seiner eigenen wachsenden Besessenheit. Als er nach einer durchgängigen Figur suchte, seinem persönlichen Alter ego, erfand er 1968 Kake, den Inbegriff des Bikers in Lederkluft , und erzählte dessen wilde Geschichten in jeweils 26 Einzelbildern. Tom kleidete sich schließlich selbst wie Kake und trat bis zu seinem Lebensende in schwarzer Lederjacke, weißem T-Shirt, Jeans und hohen Stiefeln auf. The Little Book of Tom: Bikers enthält Toms früheste Werke für Physique Pictorial , Kake im Biker-Outfit und knisternd heiße Bikerbilder auf kompakten 192 Seiten - voll von harten Kerlen , die sich mit anderen harten Typen in schwarzem Leder verlustieren. Und zwar, ja, auf Motorrädern.
