Wasn't trying to start a s*** storm with the outlaw biker comment. Was simply noting that as riders, we come from all walks of life, but way too often we are lumped together as all outlaw types.
FWIW, been riding for 48 years and never felt it necessary to dress in any way that would resemble an outlaw biker, or as many say today, dressed like a pirate. So many do though. Just drop by any HD shop on a Saturday; very interesting.
The outcome of the melee at Twin Peaks in Waco proved that most of the club members there had jobs and families, unlike the movies of the 50's-70's, that portrayed anyone on a motorcycle as being an outlaw.

I think you missed my point, but maybe not.
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.

I am just used to everyone stereotyping and it gets tiresome. My apologies...

I work for a mid size machine shop in Crosby Texas. The official title is "general Foreman", but actually, I'm CNC programmer, machinist, machine maintenance tech, inspector, forklift driver, tool room purchasing, and moral support for some of these guys...
