Apparently not, since they seem to sell very well. If they were over priced, would they be able to stay in business?
As for "Dirty jeans, smelly leathers, beer belly's, and tats all over your body." Most of those "bikers" you see on TV are just actors getting paid to put makeup on and act rowdy. A very small group of bike riders are as you described. The great majority are either hard working or retired.
Well said.
