I don't call myself a biker or rider, I would consider myself welcome wherever "they" are though. I ride motorcycles vs. If I had to pick something, motorcycle guy? I dunno. Even thought I ride a cruiser, used to own a harley, do own chaps and wear a half-helmet and all that, I still don't consider myself a biker. I realistically fit the biker image, just not I guess the "lifestyle".
I'm even wearing facial hair like Lemmy's motorhead right now. Still wouldn't call myself a biker. Rider is probably best. Even if that's not the defining part of your life, you're still a rider, as you do, in fact, ride motorcycles.
My Mom uses the word "Stupid" when relating or not to me and the bike. So if y'all don't mind, please preface all labels directed at me with "Stupid". Some examples might be If you must, just the short version of "Stupid" will probably suffice.
I have been answering to that for many years now Thanks Mom. As far as how we are perceived by the general public I think that has more to do with how we act and less to do with what we ride. What do I know, I'm "Stupid". Just sayin. My own take on this is, we are all riders. Yet riders are then segmented into sub-categories each with their own bias such as bikers, power-rangers, squids, scooter trash and such.
Through media, marketing, movies and experiences, the term "Biker" has been portrayed as that of the renegade outlaw type, a misfit from the norm. And my perspective is, I believe the general non-riding population would also have a less than favorable opinion of the term "Biker" for any individual who rides over another term such as "Rider" or "Motorcyclist". That's what prompted the discussion. Would a business owner who does not necessarily cater to or target the stereotypical "Biker" mentality be better served by a sign out front that read "Biker Owned - Biker Friendly" over say, terms other than Biker?
Such as "Rider Owned - Riders Welcome"? My belief is for an establishment that relies on the general population for it's customer base, thus revenue, the term "Biker" could have more of a negative impact than a positive one from a marketing perspective. I would think 'rider' is the better term.
Unless the owner is a like me, and specifically wants to attract that crowd, I'd use 'rider', or the aforementioned "motorcycles welcome". I'd go with "motorcycles welcome" as well. I thing the general public would have a negative outlook on "bikers", and I don't think they would know what you meant by riders unless you had a picture bicyclists, horseback riders, etc.
As a matter of fact, I might not immediately think of motorcycles if I saw that. I'd probably think about bicycles. If they're missing the easy to spot violations I'd hate to see the hard to clean places.
Probably couldn't pass a food safety inspection. So whatever the people call a motorcycle owner or rider sometimes it creates complicacy. Thus people argue and here we come to put some fuel on this fire! You know motorcycling or riding a motorcycle is a damn popular and enthusiastic activity worldwide.
Mostly motorcycling is related to our daily or common commuting activities. It unavoidably included with our daily life events. Furthermore, motorcycling also is an adventure and sports. Worldwide traveling with a motorcycle is also a popular activity. Many people love to roam and travel with motorcycles.
Even traveling is not only for a short distance but that also done in long distances. Many people love to ride cross country or worldwide ride. Afterward motorcycle sport is another enthusiastic segment of motorcycling. There are widespread categories of motorcycle sports. Hence due to sports the motorcycle and motorcycling are getting so popular within the youngsters.
Accordingly, motorcycles are also getting modernized and developed with features dramatically. Hence after the small brief of motorcycling now the question comes how do you describe yourself in between biker vs rider?
You know these days the word Biker is like the alternative name of Attitude. Furthermore, most commonly they also belong to some motorbiking clubs or groups. Hence they are eager to carry a motorbiking badge or identity. Therefore everything indicates that they are a bike enthusiast and they are a biker.
Simply a rider is who rides, who rides a motorcycle, who love and enjoy riding a motorcycle. Hence not everyone belongs to a motorcycle club or gathering but again loves to ride solo or in the group.

See a translation. I personally view bikers as people who ride american motorcycles like Harley Davidsons. When I hear rider I think of people riding sport bikes like hayabusas or kawasakis. Highly-rated answerer. SilentWafflezz So helpful. Thank you.
