Much as I hate to set a precedent by actually agreeing with Dick...outlaws are no more "real" bikers than the dentists and lawyers at the other end of the spectrum. Yeah, there are some of each, and yeah there are a few who operate under the assumption that you gotta be a criminal badass to ride. But the vast majority of bikers are regular folks who shoot straight, ride straighter, and stand prouder than just about any other group there is. Most of them get irritated at the outlaw fringe who insist on fucking it up for the rest, as much as they disdain the "wannabes" dick described. I grew up with bikers and around them all my life. And if I ever really truly need somebody at my back for when shit gets bad, I know who to ask first.
