But along the way, Barger became more than just a bad man from Oakland. With the help of his book, he has emerged a cultural icon celebrated by riders and non-riders alike. A man romanticized for not being afraid to make his own way, to be his own man and say what's on his mind.
The next chance to see a total solar eclipse in the U.S. will be Aug. 21, 2017. Weather conditions were forecast to be best for eclipse viewing in the southeastern U.S., where clear skies were expected Sunday morning, according to AccuWeather.
A total solar eclipse will take place on Monday, August 21, 2017. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometers wide. This eclipse is the 22nd of the 77 members of Saros series 145, the one that also produced the solar eclipse of August 11, 1999.
