Depends on your perspective, I think. I came up thru an era (several eras, actually) when bikers were rood, crood, tatooed, generally anti-social types who traveled in packs on noisy motorcycles, snarled at children and flipped off little old ladies.
Nowadays, only doctors and lawyers can afford the trappings it takes to maintain that bad boy image (on weekends). Motorcyclists, on the other hand, came of age with the Japanese invasion in the sixties, when suddenly you could "meet the nicest people on a Honda." There are still holdovers from both those stigmas, of course, but with more average citizens now involved in the pastime, riding is generally more civilized than it used to be. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
