Do biker gangs attract the same mindset as pirates from 1700s

Pittsburgh Pirates?

In the 60s perhaps.

western outlaws/saddle tramps are a closer analogy

I'd be more intimidated by a middle aged Johnny Depp dressed as a pirate than by a middle aged mechanic dressed up as a biker.

I watch black sales too, these Dashikis make wonderful summer gifts for the ladies-

You do realize these are TV Dramas. They take everyday things and dramatize them to make them more interesting to watch. For example, do you watch any of the CSI shows and think being a lab tech for some police department means going out on one hour long adventures every week?

I can't speak to the over dramatization of 18th century piracy. But I can tell you with 100% certainty what you've seen on Sons of Anarchy is NOTHING like being a member of a three price patch motorcycle club.

Have you ever been a member of the mob?

Have you ever been a member of an MC?

Have you ever been an urban street dealer?

If not, then all you know is based on what you see on TV or hear from others.
