Stage 1 of Bikers subculture

Over my 3 hours of research and observation to the bikers subcultures, I
noticed weird things happens, as I got really closer and push myself to
discover some of them, for example the special love that they have for
their clothes and dressing, also how they value their principles, and
principles above all things, I have got some answers for some of my
questions throughout the observation.
Firstly, bikers lean towards these special clothes and dressing which
are leather jackets, boot shoes, sun glasses and haircuts to demonstrate
their existing among the people, and to let the people know who they are
by their extraordinary looking, and to make that superior corner for them
in the society, on the other hand these clothes also gives the person the
ticket to join the crew, no one can join the subculture without wearing the
clothes and be proud about it, so that these clothes establish for them a
value that cannot be changed or discriminated by any one, they strongly
believes that its makes them what they are.
Secondly, the word manners and principles, is the most important
word in bikers subculture, its like the sacred word in religions, and the
reason for that is that the one thing that make them in order is their
values, believes and principles, therefore I remarked that they really
respect their value above everything no matter what even if its life and

death situation, one example I can put my finger on is when they want to
gather, this gathering is like one of their rituals, so if someone of the crew
miss it, he better had a very good reason, or he will be banned from the
crew because they really value their gathering for a ride or something
else. One other astonishing thing about their beliefs is that you have to
respect the outsiders, no matter who they are, unless these outsiders,
assaulted one of the crew, in addition I saw that they are very caring and
honorable people, that the society should respect and value there exiting,
and change the way that the people look at them.
