Outlaw Bikers Vs Mordor 048 by nothus1 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Harry Turtledove once pitched a novel where a Roman legion was transported to Middle Earth and Brian Daley did a two-parter where a Vietnam War era platoon is shifted into another high fantasy world.... so why not have an 1970's hardcore outlaw biker gang end up in an ersatz LOTR setting?

Most of the members of these more than slightly criminal motorcycle clubs are men trapped in the wrong time anyway - like Conan the Barbarian trapped in soul-draining Hackensack - depositing them in a world where their violent tendencies, suicidal bravery, and code of honor would quickly make them heroes.

As the war with the Dark Lord's armies whittles down their numbers, the gaps would be filled by locals inspired by the bikers' grit; humans (the equivalents of the Rangers, the Rohirrim, the Westerlings, etc.) Elves and Dwarves, who look like shorter bikers to begin with... In some cases, the bikes would wear out or get wrecked, unless the gang manages ti get a helpful wizard or elf lord/lady to ensorcel their rides...
