What you all think is the meaning and/or difference between a RUB, Poser, or true biker. Do you have to be a 1%er to be considered a true biker? Wouldn't RUB be considered regarding a lot of people on this forum? To me a poser is a guy or lady that wears the t's but has no keys! Let's hear your opinions...

...I think you may be a poser for asking.... LOL

A biker stands up for what’s his. His Ol' Lady, His bike, His club.... you get the picture. A biker is always willing to lend a hand to a brother down. You know, the guy broke down on the side of the road.

A RUB rides to look good and would never lend a hand to a brother down and has trouble standing on his own two legs let alone standing up for what's his.

A Poser? Someone who talks a lot of **** and has never had a role model to show them what life is all about.

Better have a popcorn popper by your sofa, this is gonna be a long one!
Here is my input, I'm playing safe.

Meaning .......
RUB - something my ol' lady does to make me feel good
Poser - you've seen a lot of these, they are the people in "still" photos
True Biker - the opposite of a false biker

Difference .......
Well, for starters, they are all spelled differently. Based on the above descriptions they have nothing in common.

Do you have to be a 1%er to be a true biker? Could be, as long as the 1%er is not a false biker.

I'm sure there are lots of RUBs on this forum, if you're never getting rubbed I feel sorry for ya!

Sure, it's not a serious reply, but then again, how serious can you get over a question that has been beaten to death?

That's pretty much how I see as well except for the riders who look down on others because they may be just learning or perceived to be less of a rider. Ore those guys RUBs, Posers, or just A**holes?

You can get "beat up" for askin' a question like that!

This is LeoHD in his favorite childhood outfit! He acts real tough on the forum but he's still just a little bunny wabbit.


Besides, the topic was beat up once or twice before here.

Who really needs labels, JUST RIDE!

Agreed, but it's an interesting subject and the words RUB and Poser get thrown around alot on this forum.
