Even though I\u2019m at an age where I shouldn\u2019t be scared to tell my parents I want a motorbike\u2026 I\u2019m a bit scared to tell my parents that maybe I want a motorbike!\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n The minute-long clip ends with Holbrook declaring: \u201cI know personally from riding motorcycles that it is freedom, it\u2019s the ultimate freedom\u201d, before we see a clip from the film in which Austin Butler\u2019s Benny rides on the open road while loudly whooping.<\/p>\n The official synopsis for the Bikeriders reads: \u201cOver the course of a decade, a Midwestern motorcycle club evolves from a gathering place for local outsiders to a sinister gang, threatening the original group\u2019s way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n The Bikeriders is now available to rent or buy on digital download.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Film<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.
