Well it sure is different now than it was back in the day....before my time. Used to be you'd get pulled over just because you were on a bike and looked different than your usual crew cut clean shaven citizen. Now everybody is riding...doctors, lawyers, you name it.
Never considered myself a biker though. I always thought of myself as a motorcyclist. To me bikers were always the 1%ers, the hardcores. I just like to ride. I'm not in it so much for the "lifestyle".
