By the early 1980s, the number of young people riding motorcycles on the USSR streets had grown noticeably. The bikes ranged in price from 450 rubles to 750 rubles (around $750-$1250), which at the time was equal to several average monthly salaries. Rockers liked riding through the sleepy streets at night and thus became a subject of acute police interest. At the same time, police motorcycles were often outdated and could not keep up with bikers. Soviet bikers tended to ignore traffic rules, and the statistics about motorcycle-related accidents from that period are startling. Every year in the late 1980s, there were almost 70,000 accidents and 10,000 fatalities involving motorcycles.
