Of course not. Check out this book: UNDER and Alone.
Its a great peek into outlaw bike culture. Its about an ATF agent under cover in an outlaw bike gang. My man is right about the 1%er patch. In the 60's the head of the AMA said that 99% of motorcyclist are goo law abiding people thus the outlaws were the 1%er. Know Outlaw Gangs: outlaws, hells angels, mongols etc. Most have comitted major crimes(murder) to become a full "patched" member. Its run more like a business today. Guns, drugs, theft kind like a mafia with biker lifstyle.

For the most part they are all pretty good. I think the outlaw bikers wear a 1% patch, so that means that 99% are the kind hearted people you have met.

If your firend did that to me while in my truck, I'd be forced to make a sudden lane change. I hate asshole bikers. There's no reason for it, and yes I ride an Aprilia myself.
But the myth is retarded, there are "outlaws" that drive cars. What the hell does a motorcycle have to do with it?

Hubby and I both ride. And no. We are not "outlaws" and we ride independent. Met a ton of Bikers from all over as well, (we travel plenty) and have yet to meet an azzhole who rides. But I'm sure there are a couple of them out there, we'd just continue to do our own thing!

Yeah, there was this one guy that pulled right out next to me in a small town on a big, shiny Harley. All chromed out, matching luggage, the works.
The rider was in a T-shirt and jeans, with penny loafers and $5 sunglasses. His neatly trimmed moustache and receding hairline suggested that he was more at home in a board meeting than on his custom embroidered seat.
As we made our way through the town, he kept cutting in front of me, constantly revving his engine (just to keep the bike running, no doubt) and acting like he was too cool for words.
When we pulled up to the first light out of town, he kept twisting the throttle like he was going to go somewhere fast and get another hole punched in his Weekend Warrior membership card. When the light turned green, he stalled it as I demonstrated the proper technique for taking advantage of a superior power/weight ratio.
On second thought, he wasn't really a motorcyclist anyway and doesn't count, right?

No. The Myth is a Myth for a reason.
There are many different kinds of bikers. Some are nasty and some like those I know are wonderful.

Although not all cyclists are outlaws i do have a buddy that is a total dick on the road. when we go ridin i have to watch for him. If somebody cuts him off or starts blocking him the first chance he gets beside them he kicks one hell of a dent in the door then if their windo is down, his middle finger will be 4 inches away from their face and hes yellen Fu** You! To beat it all the little feller only wieghs about 90lbs wet. crazy.

Yes, I have met a few I didn't like, but then, I meet a lot of bikers.

HAMC gang members are only loyal to the gang. Other bikers are friendly to bikers but probably not cage drivers.

yah I have. Well, he was actually nice, so long as he wasn't hungover or had just crashed his motor. lol it was a moped that he had transformed into a motorcycle. He could technically drive it without a license, since you don't need a license for a moped. So he crashed it a couple times...oh boy was he pissed. And when motorcyclists drink, aren't they a bit pissy also?
