No Bikers Allowed!
Bikers, like
many other groups, face a lot of prejudice and discrimination.
It it always amazing that people will take one look at the leather,
the bike and, maybe, the long hair and decide that they know
what we are. Obviously, you cannot "look" like a biker
and still be intelligent, or hold a good job, or be a productive
member of society. The common response is more like "I
wonder if his parole officer knows where he is?" or "Quick,
Susy, lock the doors and don't make eye contact with that scum."
It would never occur to them that
they might be seeing an honest, law-abiding, productive member of
society. Hell, harleys have gotten so expensive that you have
to have a good job to be able to afford one.
Most bikers I talk to don't really
mind seeing this type of response from "normal" society. Matter
of fact, if the truth were known, we kinda get a kick out of their
reactions. That's part of the whole aura of being a real biker
- we simply don't care whether those kind of people understand us,
or like us or accept us.
So, the next time you see some man
or woman show their distaste as soon as they see you, just remember
- tomorrow night you are going out with their daughter!
"well, you know our opinion."
