We’re all in agreement that there are some very bad people in motorcycle gangs, and that most bikers are actually very good people.

Mistaking one group for the other could obviously be very dangerous to your safety.

Any suggestions for making this distinction with some reliability?

But I suspect a higher percentage of guys dressed as outlaw bikers are actually bad dudes than those dressed in more normal attire.

I suspect hmmmm. So you suspect it now please source it. I do PGR rides, so does my husband. Its not what is on the outside of a person it is what is inside. Shaking my head again!

Heres a hint for you if you see colors stay away unless you know a member. They don't quite care for people walking up & bothering them. PGR is different but some PGR ride in clubs too. If you are respectful usually you get respect back. Another hint is most club bikers don't like their pictures taken without you asking. Nor pictures of their bikes. If you are worried about bikers stay way from them! I get so darn tired of people who don't ever see the good they do. Just the bad. AS for the way people look or dress what is the big deal? I know plenty of morons who dress in suits & are supposedly fine people & certainly aren't. My Aunt's brother in law who we called an uncle was one of those fine people & I still can't get over the fact he molested ever female cousin I had & myself. My sister & I could never get our parents to believe it either.

If bikers scare you then don't go by them is the best advice I can think of. If you want to know some get involved with the PGR. IMHO I am more worried about MS13 then any outlaw biker club!

A single patch would normally mean you are voted into a club. My wife is the treasurer of a single patch club.

A 3 part patch, without the main patch, means you are still working your way into the group. You get the main patch once you’ve earned it. Many 1% groups use the 3 part patches. Women are normally “property” in a 1% club.

This is what I have heard. If I am wrong, let me know.
