Biker

Sometimes the word "biker" is used to mean an outlaw biker, or bikie, who is a member of a 1%er or outlaw motorcycle gang. Numerous members are involved in criminal activity (firearms, recreational drug usage and/or sales, etc.). Outlaw bikers often ride heavy cruiser-type motorcycles. (Motorcycles in excess of 700cc displacement are considered "heavy," and "cruisers" are large, heavy bikes designed for relaxed travel that allow the rider to sit upright or lean back. A chopper is a cruiser that has been stripped down to the bare essentials: engine, frame, gas tank, wheels, handlebars, and seat.)

The biker is also a popular sexual fetish among gay men. As most male bikers are stereotypically "macho" and wear leather motorcycle clothing, the stereotype is very attractive to leather fetishists.
