A very small percentage of white bikers who wear swastikas do so because they are racist (usually not Anti-Semitic though). A slightly larger percentage do so because there is an identification in that subculture, even amongst non-White Motorcyclists, with the swastika as the ultimate "evil" or "badness". Also the fact that the Swastika is associated with very brutal, violent, and ultimately self-destructed movement appeals to a certain warrior ethic in the biker subculture. Most however simply wear it as a "leave me alone" deterrent. Bikers get a lot of attention, from people trying to test how tough they are, or people gawking, taking pictures, etc. If someone puts with a big swastika on their jacket or helmet, what better symbol would immediately communicate "leave me the **** alone," more efficiently? As is evident in the fact that many, if not more non-white bikers use swastikas as symbols than white bikers do.
