I think I can some up what the OP ment to say....
Example in the 80's say at Myrtle Beach, the HOT chicks were on the back of every bike no matter what the dude looked like. He was a rock star on the strip and was rewarded for having a bike, any make! A Harley was a bit more prestigious and that guy never paid for anything. Not so much now I guess. I haven't been to Myrtle Beach on a long bike in years.. The but those were the times...
And if that wasn't what he ment, then go to Myrtle Beach and try to get some...

I actually saw an idiot with these rings, and a SOA vest.

I can relate. Go on rides and stop at gas station there will be big groups giving you the "I'm tough" look. You say was sup and they try so hard to maintain that facade. Got tired of it and started to tell em to f$&k off. Lol. Not one has dared to take exception. I come out the store laughing at them.
Then when I make cross country trips I see the guy in worn dirty gear and give the same greeting and we end up in good conversation. Go figure
So now I just ignore them unless I know them. And I don't like riding in big groups. Most don't have a clue and are dangerous.

Yep. Coolest people I've ever met were on long trips by myself or one or two friends. Could tell stories on here for hours about people letting me camp on their land, riding with me after meeting at a gas station, drinking together just enjoying living on the open road.

No - go listen to it again. That's actually not what he was saying.

Stopped by the locol Harley Shop the other day for bike inspection. Sitting in the waiting room thinking wTF. Looked at the board on the wall and all of theses rides, ride for sight, cancer, MS, dogs cats all kinds of rides.Got me thinking about the old days. How about a ride for **** and ***, maybe some beer too. Sitting in the waiting room looking at the people in there Harley gear thinking they are real bikers. Lat year when I was a kid use to go to the shop and shot the **** get work done at the soda machine had beer in it garbed a beer and went outside maybe smoked a joint. Lots of times went for a ride with the owner after he was done work, looked for tit and ***. I guess I am just getting old, maybe just one more ride just to see **** and ***, drink a few beers.
All those good old shops back in the day went **** up, "cause everybody came in to shoot the sh*t, drink beer and smoke joints.
I used to do the same thing until I watched them load everything up and close the doors.
As fun as it was, it wasn't a sustainable business model.

No, I don't do the whole leather vest thing. But, I'll tell you what; someone tries to tell me to remove an article of clothing they're likely to find out what a tired old white-headed fat man can do. Really good way to catch a bullet in my opinion. Yeah, I know, he was doing the kid a favor - right...
Here's a novel idea: Live and let live. What I wear is none of your business - period. Don't make the mistake of trying to enforce some kind of social order with me.
