Default Outlaw bikers,harleys and patriotism

This is not a outlaws vs hells angels vs banditos etc. thread or whether you like or dislike 1% clubs .It's my opinion that the club members AND those who ride harleys seem for the most part to be more pro America than the average person.I'm not questioning anyones patriotism here nor do I care what brand bike you ride,it's just my observation based on my experience.

Average person or average American?
Being from a small town everyone seems to be patriotic, whether they ride or not.

IMO 1% Club members seem to be 100% Pro Club.
