Mekon
This may take a while...depending how sidetracked I get.
I'll just set the scene a bit. Twas the week before Xmas 1999. The company I worked for had just been ripped to shit by Watchdog, nothing to do with my systems but the systems got blamed. So me and me oppo get to spend the week living at the office, from the Sunday til the Friday (Xmas eve). Anyway, after Xmas we find out we're going to have a director to report to, no big deal as directors know fuck all and they're meant to leave you alone to get the job done and take all the credit. This CUNT was different...brought my replacement to the getting to know you meeting etc. The thing is, is that I'm not your average systems manager, I'm a 1%er, member of a motorcycle club and not known for my tolerance of fuckwits. To cut a long story short, I moved to Canada for 3 year with my now ex wife and for that period of time the Mekon had many misfortunes, 2 cars stolen and burnt out ( joyriders are naughty). House trashed, and has developed a nervous conditioned set off by Harley Davidsons. Oddly enough its got worse since I got back in the country. Yes CUNTO I'm your nemesis and am going to make your life more of a living hell than it is now.

Sweet
Personally, I like the sound of Harleys.
But pissing of a 1%er is not something I, personally, would recommend.

Do you actually know what it means?
You seem to have an overly-romantic view of these troglodytes. Let me disabuse you of that. "1%ers", as they term themselves, take their name from the fact that 99% of bikers are decent people; by conspicuously identifying with the remaining 1%, they name themselves cunts. To make a badge of honour out of not being a decent person shows the base nature of these brainless, charmless fuckwits.

More amusingly; the membership is almost entirely made of overweight, over-age, balding and toothless failures clad in ill-fitting, smelly leather. It's essentially a peripatetic old-folks home, trundling around on overpriced agricultural equipment.

You wouldn't reccommend pissing them off? No reason why not, besides the interminable whining that might ensue. Don't worry about them. For all their bullshit, my 500-quid beat up old motor will win a batttle of wills with a Hardly-Movingson ten times out of ten.

1%ers are totally badass!
They do crazy shit like rant impotently on the internet about someone they worked with who they thought was a cunt but don't mention why this person was a cunt other than the fact that they were a director and therefore more successful than said 1%er.

Just saying.

To summarize:

"born-again biker with Napoleon complex resorts to vandalism when sacked for ineptitude"

You forgot to mention
"continues to hold a petty grudge over a decade later, which suggests that they still haven't found another job and is basically a waste of space"

You're making his life hell
because someone had to take the flak for a mistake. Maybe you just weren't doing a very good job

Never did get...
the appeal of bike clubs. I love my bikes (though not very partial to Harleys...too much polishing) but have no time for clubs, they strike me as curious throwbacks. The whole back patch thing just seems so needy.
