In July, 1966, Jack Haines commissioned sculptor Mike Caffee to create a biker statue for the grand opening of Fe-Be's, the first leather bar on Folsom St.
It would spark the proliferation of gay and leather businesses on Folsom, known as the Miracle Mile, and made Folsom synonymous with kink, the world over.
The statue was much reproduced and many generations of it were made in various media: plaster, ceramic and a bronze miniature version.
