"Utopian Overlord"
Leather chaps, vest with a bunch of **** pinned or sewn onto it, doo rag, fingerless gloves, etc. Typically rides on weekends only, boasts about Harley superiority, but often lacks any semblance of riding skill. Can be seen duck-walking his (or her) motorcycle at speeds lower than 10mph with frequency. The pirate gathers with other pirates, typically doing the shortest rides possible so that he can drink and look at/talk about his bike rather than actually ride it.
By my estimation, a good 60-80% of HD riders (at least in SoCal) are pirates. They are the laughing stock of the motorcycle world.

[Kindly note that th' Roo has always worn pirate boots.]

I did see a guy dressed up completely in his 100% Harley outfit while going to work this week and thought to myself that he did look like he was wearing his pirate outfit. He was riding a 2003 softail anniversary with bags. Had the HD jacket with the big eagle & orange bar & shield on the back, black & orange Hd doo rag, ponytail, beard, shades, HD boots, chaps and fingerless gloves.
I don't think I had ever seen anyone with the entire outfit on until then.

What is a "power ranger" anyway? Anyone who actually wears protective gear on a motorcycle, or someone who specifically is wearing a full leather suit? I haven't seen but a small handful of people wear full race leathers on the street, but every one I've seen can ride like a sonofabitch (although they are way too fast for public roads)

Look at sportbike and Harley magazines. They both have half nekkid womens (a good thing), customized bikes, and more advertisements for doodads and geejaws to buy than you can shake a stick at.
And yes, as was said above, the general idea that most ATGATT'ed sportbikers can ride like a sonofabitch is just as much hogwash as Harleys being the only true "biker's" bike.
