OK, here's an unpopular opinion for you -- all who ride are not "bikers."

I ride. You can call me a rider, a motorcyclist, a two-wheeled pilot, a sport-touring enthusiast, a long-distance traveler, a power ranger or storm-trooper (an Aerostich riding suit and white full-faced helmet are good for getting those labels), a misanthropic antisocial deviant even, but don't call me a biker.
