Something I don't understand is the mystique that surrounds bikers and motorcycle "gangs" (pffft :smuggo:).

I went a small road trip today and saw a lot of these biker gangs driving around and thought, if I swerved toward their lane that'd be the end of them. If anything, someone in a windowless van (not that I drive such a vehicle), has more power on the road than people on motorcycles.

If anything, seniors driving RV's may be the most hardcore motherfuckers of all when it comes to the road; they have compromised cognitive functions, their vehicle is exponentially heavier than the average bike, and since they're old they really don't fear legal repercussions (so I've heard).

One time I watched a movie in the expensive private catholic school and it showed some tough bikers at a bar scowling a the camera.

Then they turned around and had "bikers for Christ" on the back of their vests and that was the last of them in the movie.

Obviously it was scripted but my teacher never stopped praising it :confused:

They used to fight the mob for drug control. Actual wars in the west. Also "Hell's Angels" by Hunter S. Thompson is a pretty good book

When it comes to the road I'd be most afraid of this loving guy. He's one stroke, heart attack, moment of dementia away from killing multiple people. Bikers??? Not an eye roll smilie large enough to express how I view their tough guy reps.

there's a company we work with that is a tank line for one of our products that is hazmat (flammable)

one of the drivers has had three strokes in the past year and can't talk or really walk anymore but for some reason the cdl people keep passing him.

I love seeing huge fat guys all decked out in leather on Harley's driving around on a toy that's worth more than the entire sum of my earthly possessions especially when they look all smug and think it's "tough".

My mom and stepdad are "bikers" in a Christian motorcycle club. They mostly just meet up at restaurants on weekends and once in while set up a charity event. You don't want to mess with them.

These guys need to accept the reality of the situation. I too have a micro dick but drive around a Mazda 3; I got it because it's cheap and reliable.

Bikers used to be hardcore back in the 40's and 50's when anyone could buy an Army surplus Harley-Davidson for $60 and mod the hell out of it for super-cheap. Tough dudes who were genuine rebels and didn't fit in anywhere would buy them and get together in gangs and do badass poo poo all of the time. These days a new Harley with all of the dumb chrome and *chop* *chop* *chop* engine and all that other poo poo is ~$50k, so it's the exclusive province of middle-management, middle-aged biker dads. They are significantly less badass.

we still have scary leather & brass knuckles biker dudes in my neighborhood (i live in brooklyn)

they could have been teleported straight out of the 1960s

mostly they just hang around looking tough and making tons of irritating noise but sometimes they'll call you PUSSY and try to get you to fight them.

Closest to badass now is to just buy an old crashed R1 or something insane and rip off all the smashed plastic.
Buell was the only cool thing Harley did in 50 years and they canned it.

Hardcore Harley fans / any biker super invested in the badass delusion of it all are super funny to me, because they are just 100% camp. It's like watching the village people. Fast bikes for me are just an adrenalin tap.
