Joe Bar Team is a famed series of biker ("Motards" in French) comics whose main characters experience all sort of situations and adventures every-day riders encounter often in real life. They were originally released by Vents d'Ouest. The original idea was created by Bar2 (Christian Debarre) and carried on by Fane (Stéphane Deteindre).

The first volume was initially released in 1990 and has had five more volumes for a total of six. The riders adventures were originally settled in 1975 Paris, but their motorcycles were switched for more modern ones in some of the comics. The time setting is not really important, since the situations they encounter are timeless.
