In some cases, and I know some like this, they go out of their way to closely resemble a 1%er when they ride...refer back to my first sentence.
To anyone who wants to look like a thug (not just those who ride)...don't get upset if you get confused for one on occasion.
I guess, image-wise, it's a matter of degrees too. I mean I wear a leather jacket and chaps when it's cold, and a dew rag under my helmet. I don't put any obscene patches or stickers on anything, and in fact, I have no "patches" at all. That just my choice.

Many segments of our society suffer an image problem because so many want to look like the "thugs" among them. The average cager doesn't know the difference between a (insert any real job posted here) wearing a dealership purchased leather HD jacket with HOG patches all over it, and a 1%er in a leather jacket/vest with a full member patch and all the obscene saying patches and stickers they put on themselves. All they see is guy wearing leather on a loud HD, and you get lumped in with generic "bikers," whatever that means.

Good to know....good to know none of them hold down jobs, some white collar or more....good to know that the sales guy that may or may not come to your place of employment may or may not be a 1%er...
man what a freaking stereotype....smh

I was a Maintenance Supervisor on Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan for 8 years. Before that I was a Shift Supervisor in the Naval Hospital on Camp Lester for a year and a half. I learned so much and worked with some of the greatest folks ever. I identify with them!!

My response was to the "outlaw biker" comment. I know what a 1% is, and I know some. They, too, come from all walks. My comments were directed at others that stereotype ALL who ride in to the "outlaw biker".
If you're looking for an argument...don't. If my comments were offensive. I apologize.
