From a very young age, children are strictly instructed: "Don't judge a book by its cover." However, in our society, this lesson is rarely carried out — especially when it comes to certain groups, like bikers.
With their tattoos, leather get-ups, and growling motorcycles, bikers typically get a very bad rap. Often, when they travel in groups, we refer to them as "gangs," and we assume they're up to no good.
But beneath their rough and tough exterior beat hearts of gold — as demonstrated by the beautiful piece you're about to read.
When a mom pulled her young daughter away from this friendly biker, his feelings were deeply hurt. So he decided to take to Facebook and clarify a few things about "dirty" bikers.
Now, his beautiful words and important lesson are going viral — and thanks to him, people everywhere are learning to see beyond labels and appearances.

“To the family in the red SUV at Tim Horton’s today… Yes I am a big 280 lbs guy with motorcycles and full of tattoos.”
“I am a welder, I am loud, I drink beer, I swear, and I look like I would eat your soul if you stare at me wrong.”
“What you don’t know is that I have been happily married for 11 years, my kids call me daddy, I am a college graduate…”
"My mother is proud of me and tells everyone how lucky she is to have such a wonderful son."
“My nieces and nephews are always happy to see their uncle. When my daughter broke her arm I cried more than she did…”
“I read books, I help people, I go out of my way to thank war veterans, and I even cried at Armageddon.”
“So next time I smile and say ‘hi’ to your little girl and you grab her and tell her, ‘No no, dear we don’t talk to dirty bikers.’ “
“Remember that even though you hurt my feelings, this ‘dirty biker’ would be the first person to run into your burning house…”
"…to save your little girl’s gold fish so she wouldn't be sad!"
