  There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. A cyclist's appearance has something to do with this dislike. Motorcyclists frequently look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, bird droppings, etc. For practical reasons they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason motorcyclists usually wear dark colors. Perhaps, this helps to explain why they are sometimes believed to have very bad natures. In old plays of long ago, bad characters usually wore black. In cowboy movies the “bad guys ( = fellows)” usually wear black hats while the “good guys” wear lighter colors.

  Something else about their appearance makes an unpleasant impression. In their practical protective clothing they look very much like the men on military (军事的) motorcycles in the movies of World War Ⅱ - cruel enemies who roared (咆哮) into peaceful villages filling peoples' hearts with fear.

  Probably the machine itself also produces anger and fear. Motorcycles are noisy, though some big trucks are even noisier. But trucks are big and carry heavy loads; they are accepted because they perform a needed service, making America move. Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an unpleasant noise just to give their riders pleasure. That is what is commonly thought. In the woods motorcycles frighten animals. Roaring along quiet streets, they wake sleeping families and made babies cry.
