Men who ride motorcycles know all too well what it's like to be judged for their outward appearance.

Without even speaking to bikers, others often rush to make offensive judgements about who they are as people.

Luc Perreault is a biker from Sudbury, Ontario who was at a Tim Horton's recently when he overheard a woman refer to him as a "dirty biker."

He decided to respond to her on Facebook with an open letter that has since gone viral, as people all over the world can relate to it whether they are bikers or not.

"To the family in the red SUV at Tim Horton’s today," Luc wrote. "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 Luc, 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 tho you hurt my feelings this 'dirty biker' would be the first person to run into your burning house to save your little girls gold fish so she wouldn’t be sad!!!!" he concluded, signing the letter "L.P."

This goes to show that judging a book by it's cover is never a good idea! SHARE this story so your friends and family can see this as well!
