Vintage 1982 “Born to Live – Live to Ride” Eagle Motorcycle Belt Buckle – Serial #1036

Fantastic vintage 1982 motorcycle-themed belt buckle featuring a large raised American bald eagle over motorcycle imagery with the classic biker slogan:

“BORN TO LIVE – LIVE TO RIDE”

The buckle has excellent dimensional detail, with a gold-toned eagle, blue motorcycle elements, red lettering and an antiqued silver-tone background.

The reverse is particularly interesting. It is individually marked “Serial Number 1036”, “Copyright © 1982” and carries an eagle emblem reading “American Made U.S.A.”

At approximately 3" × 2.5", this is a great piece of genuine early-1980s biker memorabilia with considerably more character than a modern reproduction buckle.
