...I had to knock a bit of pigeon shit off a board I was putting in the back of the truck this morning...the Mulberries are fruiting and the Wood Pigeons are having their excessive fill...the pigeon hole that passed the shit I had to clear away must have been fucking distended to shit that much at once...a handful...
I think we all start with no prejudice.
As out peers bleat on about their experiences and we have our own we form expectations.
We form up into flocks that have a combined perception that prejudices our future experience. Mostly by filling in the blanks on the unknowns.
E.g. A non rider has no reason to know bikers are just normal people, but initially have no reason to fear us.
Add in a media filled with images of biker gangs and that perception of all bikers is that we are either all full patch members or want to be.
Add in a mate who got carved up, and another mate who ha a mirrorectomy but no inputs about how a biker can be courteous and well mannered and the perception is set.
Most of the general public does not know the difference between a Hayabusa and a sportster, many of those that do think the sportster is faster and more powerful.
A common comment when I had the Hayabusa was " when are you going to upgrade to a Harley?" When I said that was not in my future plans the response was normally, "can't you handle the power?"
Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.
