Default What do you think of Posers..

So my brother (Dyna) and my buddy Andy (VTX 1800) and I go to a bar last night. The band has got Harley gear all over them. The lead singer is wearing a NYC Harley Davidson shirt (btw, don't believe there is a dealer that sells skoots in NYC, just a gear store). So I ask the guitar player what the band rides and he looks at me and goes "us? we don't ride..."

Frankly, I bought a decent amount when I started riding, but I don't anymore. I ride to ride, not to show other people I ride. I buy clothes now that work on the bike and they don't have to say H-D. But I can't tell you how many people I've met that wear gear (I know a whole family that will show up in gear without a single cycle between them). I just think it's lame - like having a Ferrari key ring but no Ferrari. Am I the only person who thinks people are pathetic who wear gear who don't ride?

Your so right, but I guess we should be proud of the fact that others want to be like us, that do ride and live to ride.
