Beings of all different shapes, sizes, and skin colors come together in a vast world in which an outsider does not understand. Yes, the outsider can observe and research the behavior of these creatures, but he will never fully understand their lifestyle.
Some move fast and alone while others maneuver slowly and in a group. They acknowledge each other as they pass one another, or they may keep to themselves. While some are aggressive others tend to be more passive. A camaraderie forms among certain breeds, and others are worst enemies.
Like the fish in the oceans, so are the bikers of the world. We too come in a variety of forms. Some are doctors and lawyers and some are outlaws and rebels. Regardless of our day job, on the road, many bikers choose to wave to other riders as they pass each other while some do not. That's OK. Like the schools of fish, a brotherhood develops within motorcycle clubs all over.
We, too, are judged by our appearance. Like the variety of colors of the fish, the colors we wear have certain protective qualities. Some choose to wear light colors to reflect the sun's rays and remain cooler. Many of our clothing is black to conceal dirty road grime that gets kicked up on a long ride, our rain gear usually has a reflective design to allow others to better see us in the rain, and lastly the colors riders choose for their bikes are as individual as the variety of colors of different fish.
