Motorcycle/Moped/Scooter riders are you associated as "drug users" because you ride?

Welcome fellow motorbikers!
Had a random question woderin statistically speaking, do you find people in your group/club/gang "experiment" more with substances more than those outside the motorbike scene?
And/or do those that know you ride think or assume you must be a user since you ride two wheels with a motor?
I've noticed this and just wanted to ask you fellow bluelighters and riders if you've ever experienced that as well?
Cheers!

Not sure I have ever been considered a drug user because I ride a motorcycle. Been considered a little crazy because I ride a sportbike but I think the only mention of drugs around here is usually about marijuana. And its only in bike "gangs" that drug use/abuse is associated with or at least that is the stigma. Us weekend canyon riders dont have time to partake.

I ride a series 2 lambretta ( GP200 stage 4 engine + ridiculously loud exhuast and 300mm open mouth carb)

and my daily ride is a Suzuki Burgman (Skyway in some countries) 400 - I really rate this as a communting machine having previously had a ZZR1100 .

I guess in the 80's when I had a scooter you wrere just considered trouble !!, but no I don;t think people make that connaction but they do seem to think you must be a little ruff round the edges.

Its interesting to see the reaction to the scooter and the bike (when i had the ZZR) totally differant??
