    I know people who ride Harleys and look the part who are OK guys. They are not in a biker gang though.

    Thats the thing though, if you don't know that and see them all "biker'd" out most would just assume.

    I would be happy to call them thugs if it makes you happy, but I think the term "biker" has come to mean the same thing, especially if used with the word gang.

    Outlaw bikers are thugs and criminals. They will cut your throat for looking at them wrong. They are white, black and hispanic. They deal drugs and spend a lot of time in prison. There are a lot of fat retirees with expensive chromed out Harleys that dress like bikers but avoid real bikers like the plague. Not even wannabes, just wannalooklikes. And there are "Christian" bikers riding for The Lord trying to save you soul. It ain't the bikes, it ain't your color. It's the violent crime that makes a thug.

    Former governor Mike Foster was a fat guy with an expensive chromed out Harley.

    Smart ass.

    The brothers were profiled. Police assumed they were homicidal maniacs just because a few guys bled out in a parking lot rumble. White citizens showed outrage at the misspelling of "bandito" and vowed to see it corrected. The police interrupted a community meeting to decide who had the right to wear the TEXAS rocker underneath their colors. The voting was almost unanimous, the Cossacks will not be wearing the rocker. You just don't understand the legacy and plight of the outlaw biker.
