It's a period term
Besides the alliteration, I chose "Rockers" because it was a term that was in the news in the mid-1960s, though much moreso in England. There was a period of biker class warfare in England between the Mods, who wore then-hip threads and rode motor scooters, and Rockers, who preferred Triumphs asnd denims. Got lots of play in the U.S. media, but never really caught on here.
