Default ANOTHER MC question

Why the *** do people want to play bad *** biker soon as they get a harley?
some of these have naver ridden before in their life
some have ridden 20 years ago, before the wife made them sell it
some have ridden other brands ....
yet, soon as they get on HD they have this urge that completely over-rides any logic and they want to put patches on the back, wear silly outfits and think that its their constitutional right (if not god-given) to start a MC?
whats wrong with just riding a motorcycle?
whats wrong with joining an existing RC?
does harley buying experience instantly change an insurance salesman into a "biker" ?
I'm just curious .... is there something harley installs into new bikes that causes overnight transformation?

It's the vibration...stimulates production of testosterone while limiting blood flow to the brain.

Does owning a Harley also make someone care too much about what other people do?

you would lose, tho I like the show and watch it, just like I've watched all the 60s biker B-movies ...
btw, the only thing that sais harley-davidson, besides the junk in my garage, is that stupid tattoo I got about 25 years ago when I was on my 3rd harley.
