@nick_h.
Psychological studies have shown that inadequate people with low self-esteem are over-represented in the biker community. I say this as a lifelong biker myself. If you go to shows or meets or anywhere that ordinary bikers gather, it's striking how many shy, inarticulate, low IQ types you meet. There are a few clever, chatty successful ones, who are often the most active online. They give a distorted impression that the biker crowd is full of high-functioning individiduals. But hardly any of them are.
