Abstract
Leisure meanings require serious analysis in examining the role of leisure in society. This is illustrated through an example of the relationship between the mass production of leisure equipment and the creation of personal user meanings by focusing on product styling and the function, imagery and social use of symbolic objects such as the motorcycle. The author suggests that the ideology of leisure can be analysed by examining the connection of leisure forms and meanings, thereby defining the structural boundaries of leisure itself.Keywords
