All sexuality aside, they're dressing up in a stereotype that exists from a subculture known for defying state and authority. Bikers are renowned for anarchism. Sure you'll see your hobbiests dressing the part too, but they're not donning themselves with support for a political authority.

This reminds me of the video of MAGAs rocking out to Killing in the Name.

Biker culture also tends to have a lot of unfortunate overlap with violent white nationalism and misogyny, which is right at home for Trump fans

Yeah, there are a lot of really sweet bikers who'll give you the shirt off your back and help you out in a pinch.

There's also the Sturgis crowd.

I don't know how much overlap there is between between the two, but I have never personally run into the Sturgis crowd. I know where they are around here and avoid that area, that might be why, but like buzz says there's five of them in the whole damn county.
