It actually swings both ways, depends on where you live. Here in SC we have a few smaller clubs, and of course major players like the H/A however there is not a ton of "recruiting" so to speak. I ride a small older harley and have never had an issue. Now I will not go to Rivals for a drink without a buddy that is "In" with me but there has never been an issue personally for me, or other friends who ride. It really depends where you live and the type of clubs and people that you are around. The t.v shows will always make it seem more glamourous and dangerous than it is. The bars here that I have been to are never really a problem, I know a lot of guys with 1% on those leathers and have yet to have some sort of negative issue arise.
