hmmm. Sounds very convenient, don't you think? Not all that surprising
though, but convenient.

Why? Because I'm not actually that scary, and never get those sort of
looks when I'm wearing non-riding gear. For whatever reason, it is the
gear that determines whether people see me as just another shopper or as
some unspecified threat. If that's what a dri-rider can inspire, then
what about a leather jacket with unfamiliar (but non-gang) patches
covering it???

You keep going on and on about this, but it's not Joe Public who will be
doing the scrutinizing, it's whoever is controlling entry to the
premises in question... and if they can't identify who is and who is not
a patch wearing club member in question, how do you explain the fact
that they've already identified 15 specific patch wearing clubs to
single out?

A difference in perception, not necessarily in reality.
