ROT Rally 2


The biker community is a sub (or super) strata of American society... The biker groups, you can't call them gangs any more, do tend to stick together; Mexicans, Vietnam Vets, Blacks, Gulf War Vets and then the more obvious geographical groupings... But the greater community is more important than the trivial differences. The thing that tends to unify is the Harley Davidson Motorcycle with its percussive idle and angry roar... I say "tends" because I did see one group of Preppy looking white guys riding their Suzuki Racers down 6th Street but when they rev'd up the high pitched whine their bikes made sounded not so much like "I'm a master of the universe in charge of a wild beast" but more like "I have confidence issues".
