"Biker Like an Icon" is a song by Paul McCartney from his 1993 album Off the Ground. It was released as 7" and CD singles. The music video for the song first aired on MTV's First Look television show. The clip was repeated the following day. Commenting this song, Paul McCartney stated that the line "Biker like an icon" came from a conversation about photo cameras with his wife Linda McCartney. The phrase "I like a Leica" became "I like a Nikon" and the lyrics were built around that line with a story of a girl loving a biker like an icon.
