“being on the motorcycle is an individualist pursuit”

LOL! Individual? Get real.

When a person joins a motorcycle gang he loses ALL personal identity.

He is told what to wear, what to ride, when to ride and where to ride and what position to ride in.

Everything is for the club.

I think parsing words and language has begun, in a way, to impede your understanding. But that can happen when hypervigilance is combined with defensiveness.

I was referring to "individual" in terms of the actual operation of a vehicle. The relationship between an individual and his or her motorcycle, is an intimate one (no vehicle rides the same) and has a lot to do with the engagement of the priopreceptor muscles and being in the "zone" when operating in traffic.

I don't know anything about motorcycle gangs, they may exist in other countries? Here we have motorcycle clubs, which isn't the same thing.

He is told what to wear, what to ride, when to ride and where to ride and what position to ride in.

Kind of like what happens when soldiers are on parade, right? Which is a good thing, it gives discipline and order and unit cohesion and most importantly, group reaction under threat. Other drivers on the road are often very dangerous.

Everything is for the club.

What club are you speaking for?
