To the OP, I think that obtaining legal counsel and working through the system is about all you can do at this point. I'm sorry for your troubles but your attorney should be able to get things cleaned up.

I have been riding for most of my life and I have probably known more bikers than non-bikers over the years. Most bikers are really great people but there is a criminal element that can be very dangerous and I feel for law enforcement that has to comb through regular joes embracing the Harley lifestyle and real gang members. Cops do a lot of profiling with bikers.

The group of guys I ride with are of the adventure touring variety and our group consists of about 10 guys between 45-65 riding GS series BMWs, KTMs, a couple of Triumph Tigers and one KLR. Cops don't even give us a second look. Last year we went to a rally in New Mexico and there were a lot of gangs and heavy police presence. The police were closely watching the guys with gang patches. The more stereotypical the biker, the higher the scrutiny it seemed. My group was invisible to them. BTW, when we realized how many bikers there were affiliated with outlaw clubs, we packed up and headed down the road, so I suppose we were guilty of profiling too.
