Any 1%er biker should be approached in the same wat you'd approach a bear. They can be fuzzy, cute and cuddly until they get hungry and then if you look like lunch you're done for. It's importand to realize that most 1%, or "outlaw" bikers live by a code that's exclusive to their particular club. They consider themselves and their "brothers" to be the only creatures that matter, all others are sub human and anything you choose to do is therefore okay. They can be just as charming as any other group of people, just don't get between them and their objective or think that they really care what happens to you. It's also important to realise that these "outlaw" bikers are called 1%ers because the American Motorcycle Association once claimed that "bad apples" only amounted to 1% of the motorcycling public. Unless you know what to look for it can be hard to tell the difference between a 1%er and a more normal person who just happens to enjoy motorcycles and the "bad boy" image that seems to go with them.
That being said, of course bikers (club members or otherwise) are going to be basically tolerant of kilt wearers. We exhibit many similar traits. We are dressing and acting in a way that his noble and extremely masculine. We are displaying traditions that outsiders only vaugely comprehend. We face a cretain amount of disdain from the social elite who think they rule the earth. These are things that bikers can relate to.
