SCORPIO RISING. Kenneth Anger, dir. USA: Puck film productions, 1964. Ca. 28 minutes.
Not SF but neither mainstream nor munance, but a highly self-conscious avant garde pastiche of images and music relating, among other things, Jesus, Hitler, Marlon Brando and THE WILD ONE (1954), heavy leather, S&M homoeroticism, Nazi paraphernalia, and motorcycles—with a lot of screen-time given to motorcycles. Relevant here for the motorcycles; cf. and contrast N. Spinrad's Iron Dream (cited under Fiction).
