I don't live in US...

Normal motorcyclist like you are part of a bigger group that's full of idiots. Of course this group is not homogeneous but it's also not split perfectly into the idiot and non-idiots parts. It's a spectrum going from people riding calmly on quiet bikes all the way to obnoxious idiots making noise for fun, with weekend joy riders somewhere in the middle. In my opinion, as a whole, the community is very toxic and net negative. It's the most dangerous mode of transportation needlessly consuming lot's of rescue services and healthcare resources. The obnoxious idiots group, even though it's a minority, is big enough to cancel out all the other benefits bikes provide.
