#2  Bikers have the uncanny ability to laugh at themselves.  Even when they do something utterly stupid or embarrassing, they realize the incident has the makings of a great story to be told at a later time.

 #3  Bikers have the best stories.  And they know how to tell them. The only non-biker that even comes close is my cousin, Bob.

 #4  They wear black leather.  And chaps.  And chaps.  That is not a typo. I thought it merited a second mention in case you have never taken a moment to appreciate this fact

 #5  Bikers smell of leather and motor oil. One or the other of these scents alone does not have the same ambiance as the two together.  I am surprised someone has not try to bottle this scent. It is a potential goldmine.

 #6  For all that they may have a rough exterior, I have never met a biker that didn't have a soft spot for his old lady and his kids.

 #7   They ride motorcycles.  Big ones.

 #8   You feel safe when hanging out with bikers.  Nobody messes with bikers.  Nobody.  With the possible exception of other bikers.

 #9   A biker would give you the shirt off his back if he thought for one minute you needed it more than him.

 #10  Table manners are optional when eating out at fine restaurants with bikers.  Please note, however, that you may not be invited back by the proprietors.
