Back in the early 70's I worked with a 'biker type' wanna be. Thing was
he didn't know squat about bikes other than they looked and sounded
'cool'.

The Gypsy Joker (Sydney) motor cycle gang was like this in the 80's
--wannbes.

Out at Thirlmere lakes one day and 13 bikes roll up.
First thing I noticed was all the riders made me look trim, taut and
terrific.

Then the support "unit" arrived. Okay, the 48 cases of beer on the back
didn't look good, but I could not get over the four broken down motor
cycles on the car trailer.

Okay, they were Harleys, but it was only midday Saturday of a three day
weekend.

I later figured they must have already been broken down and they brought
them along for the sunshine or something.

Harleys are like dogs..they love riding in the back of pick up trucks.

And they mark their territory.
