Why we think the Motorcycle Club Culture is a Type 8 culture

• "Ride or Die." A phrase that signifies toughness and loyalty to the motorcycle lifestyle and one's fellow riders.

• The Skull. Often used as a symbol in motorcycle club patches and logos, the skull represents toughness and a defiance towards death.

• Leather jackets. A staple of motorcycle club attire, leather jackets convey a tough exterior, resistance to vulnerability, and a sense of rebellion.

• Fearlessness and risk-taking. Riding motorcycles and living the biker lifestyle comes with a huge degree of risk, which is a big part of the attraction for many members. The culture is one of risk taking to prove strength and wanting to be invincible of some level. 

• The V-Twin engine. A common engine type in cruiser motorcycles, the V-twin is associated with power and a distinctive rumbling sound, symbolizing strength and a big presence. It is the sound of bravado.
