A curly-haired pin-up sits astride a skull, one knee drawn up, her figure outlined in red against the black ground, while the skull beneath her laughs with a lolling red tongue. A ribald slogan arcs above and below in white Western lettering, completing a roundel built to be read from across a rally field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkulls and pin-ups were the twin emblems of the biker underground: one for defiance of death, the other for appetite for life.
