Many motorcycle clubs are not based on how BAD a man can be, but how LOYAL. Nothing illegal is required, nor will it be tolerated. This holds true of many of the veteran-related clubs, who see their brotherhood as akin to what they experienced in the military. Their values are very similar to Christian values: taking care of widows and orphans, feeding the poor, caring for the cripples, laying down your life for a friend. I think we all err when we attempt to stereotype people... just as all Christians are not kind and loving, all 'outlaw' bikers are not bad.
