... the most common 2 wheeled vehicle comes from Milwaukee...
Maybe that is the problem. Or H-D riders are most affected by this.
Do not know how in US, but here in Europe, Harley owners think that thy are best bikers on best bikes, wearing all that weird H-D stuff, badges, pins, colors, .... I am pretty sure that their toilet paper has H-D logos and cost 100$/pack.
Whatever is H-D brand, they must place it on their bikes, chrome trumpets and another chrome junk, huge windshields, cowboy leather fringes, bull horns under headlight and more and more aerodynamic brakes. Heavier - better, because till your bike is less than half ton, looks like scooter. Price does not matters, because they are half-gods and have to show that to everybody. They do not salute to other bikes on the road etc, etc...
Hard to explain to them, that their symbol of freedom was army supplier on the beginning and that most of Japanese 500ccm bikes are faster.
Here in EU, we have similar virus called coffee racers.
Crippled 80´ Japanese bikes with shiny, absurdly expensive parts, called art, are sold to wannabe rich guys with no relation to motorbikes.
They are using is just as a source of noise in the cities to move from one pub to the other, showing to others how great they are.
Including their "fancy" bike, 1000$ helmet, but short sleeve T-shirt, sneakers and no gloves.
IMHO does not matter how you call them, or what bike they ride, but be sure, that is huge difference between biker and owner of motorcycle.
If you are not able to check oil, tire pressure and change light bulb, please be so kind, keep safe yourself (and us too) and do not try to ride a motorcycle.
