I have been reading these posts where we are all getting knocked in some way. If we use a windshield, ride a sportster, wear a do rag. leather jackets, or chaps. If we don't have the loudest bike, the fastest, if we don't ride cross country, and God forbid someone puts a bike in a trailer. If we make too much money we are a poser, if someone doesn't make enough money and can't get a harley, or would just rather have another brand bike they are posers.

You get my piont here. What is your definition of a Real Biker in 2008.

I think anyone who would rather ride than eat is a real biker. I think someone who plans there vacation every year based on good riding weather is a real biker. I think anyone, man or woman, rich or poor, black or white yellow or brown, who loves motorcycles and riding is a real biker.

I am an average guy with average income who loves everything motorcycles. I eat sleep and drink motorcycles. I just don't know what the team real biker is. If it is a 1%er than i guess i am just a poser.

nah... lets keep this laid back. Just what you feel it means to be a biker. Everyone here falls into the poser and biker catagories depending on who you ask.

No one ever said wearing chaps doesn't make you a real biker. You can be gay and bea real biker.

I see that I started something big pretty quick by one post. The thing that everyone has to remember is not to take text in the wrong way, because it is just that, text. Body language and all that cannot be factored in and therefore the true meanings cannot be found. Take everything as you wish and feel free to jump down my throat many have already. To any I have offended (Pete) my apologies. And for those knocking my sportster I believe I did well being that is all I could afford, after all it's still a Harley.

~~Two of the three are lost, yet I remain...riding to find what's gone.

Ok, I'm new around here...but I have already seen like what? 10-15 threads like this....

Does whether or not you qualify as a "real" biker going to make or not make your day?
Simply put, you like to ride, so let it rest.
What difference does any label make?
