Thats nothing, I have had a gun pulled on me by LEOs twice because I looked like someone they were looking for. Both times right out in front of my own house. When I bought a local bar they got to know me pretty well and would wave to me late at night when they saw me riding. I had some long talks with the night Sargent when he tried to tell me who I should and should not let in my bar. He didn't like bikers and I had to set him strait on how I had more problems with his officers then I ever had with any bikers.

About 10 yrs ago I worked for a cabinet installation company in Phoenix AZ. I had to go to a customers house for a repair. She was about 70 yrs old and actually told me that if she hadn't gotten a call from my company to tell her that I was coming, she would not have opened the door to someone who looked like me. It's Ok to think it, but to say it! I may have particularly long hair, but I was wearing a collard shirt and khakis! No leather at all! Some people are sooo judgemental!

When you walk into a biker bar, and the whole place goes quiet staring at you, THEN you have to worry about being menacing in appearance... 
It's fun to watch security follow your every move when you go into large retail stores too!

It definitely has it's advantages though. I have a lot less trouble collecting money from customers who try to weasel out of paying my crews for work they did. I show up and after they hear the guys say "the boss is here" a checkbook or credit card usually appears right quick. Maybe I should change the company uniforms, I'd have way more time to ride.

I get a lot more checks when I show up on my bike, and in leathers then I ever did in "dockers" and a button down!!
