I think some of that perception might be changing, slowly but changing, as word gets out that most bikers today arent thugs. They come from all walks of life. Bikers today could be your pharmacist, the manager at your grocery store, a well respected lawyer or judge. They may or may not belong to a club, but many do. The commonality is the love of riding. They meet in Daytona or at Sturgis and have a good time.
The ones who stereotype are ignorant, lacking knowledge and are probably prone to thinking all Muslims could be terrorists, or all blacks have a predisposition to breaking into houses. Its all ridiculous.
