I can't believe I just read this entire thread. I spend way to much time reading this BS to ever be a real biker.

A real biker is someone who owns a bike and rides it...and rides it well.

The first rule of being a real biker is, you do not talk about what a real biker is.
The second rule of being a real biker is, you DO NOT talk about what a real biker is.
And this not because the rules tell him no to, but because he doesn't give a damn.

I ride a motorcycle- real biker
I am a retired Sailor- real Sailor
I am married - real husband
I have kids- real dad
I have grandkids- real grandfather(hate that term)
I am a reserve Deputy- real cop
I am a supervisor at work- real boss
I suppose if ya watch sports of any kind and do not play them then you are a poser
I suppose that if you wear just about any color and are not in a street gang then you are a poser.
I suppose that if you wear any type of shirt with a company name on it and do not work for that company then you are a poser.
etc.etc.etc.
As I was growing up I never heard the term poser until here, I always thought that if you had the bike then you were a biker, if you were in a 1% club then you were an outlaw 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.
I'm not real sure where anyone jumped on you for riding a sportster. You can ride with me anytime. Don't mean nothin. Did you morph in a pic of your dad on your signature pic?. Cause if you did thats is very cool.

The "real" biker is the guy who came from out of nowhere Saturday night (normal spooky charactheristic of his) and pulled up beside me and my girlfriend. Motioned to a place to pull over and asked where we were going, making sure we weren't headed for home. Our plan pretty well matched his, so we headed out. While behind him the thought ran through my mind again that in certain areas the colors on his back could get him shot off his bike. The first time I met him, his question was "So, you one of them bikers?" My reply was "No, just an enthusiast." "Good answer" he said.

bgkv77,
"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."
________________________________________________________________________
You pretty much nailed it. I agree.
If you live to ride, if you ride whenever you possibly can, would rather ride than anything else, if you always stop and check on a fellow rider who's on the side of the road, if when you can't ride you're thinking about riding (or you're on HDF, lol), then ya you're definitely a biker.

Personally, I don't like the connotations I HAVE with the term biker. That's not a reflection on anyone elses idea of the term. My ideas came from growing up near a Hell's Angels clubhouse - so my connotations are based upon them. I am not one of them.
When people ask me if I'm a biker or comment that they did not know I was a biker when they see me with my helmet - I reply that I ride a motorcycle.
I doubt I'd think of many people here, or any riders I meet are real bikers because of how my experience has defined it. Like I said I don't meet my personal definition (or care to).
Point is, the definitions of what a "real biker" is is as varied as those that hold those definitions.
So, let's assume for a moment your real question is what makes a rider a real rider. I can answer that with a question... Does he/she ride a motorcycle?

Really? so if I "watch" drag racing but don't race that makes me a poser? Or if I watch the Tour De France but don't race in it that makes me a poser?
Oh and here are a few more add ons to your "I am" schtick:
you have a penis -you are a D_ _ k
you have an azz - you are an azzhole
you have a wife - because on your 1st date you knocked her up
you have kids - see #3
you are a supervisor - you do nothing and yell at everybody else for doing the same
you are a retired seaman - they figured out you were gay
you are a real cop -see #1 and #2
you have grandkids - and you hope there not yours
 sorry couldn't help but give you chit just funin

One day, when mommy and daddy are dead and they aren't there to feed you on demand what then. LOL
You're story was great and unfortunatley regardless of your current hopes and dreams nothing is more consistent then change. Thinking out loud, one day you're 22 the next your 52. "Snap" that quick. While you are living the age apropriate life, your age will change and so will your life(style).
No regrets, no regrets! Its all part of the process. Having a bike to be part of that process has been really good for me. I been riding probably since 13 and I am now 52 and have always had a couple bikes through out my lives changes, non stop. At times its been the one bright spot through some dark times.
If I may and if you will so indulge me, from someone who has gone where you may be going.....try not to do anything that may change your life negatively and irreversably. Try to take a moment to think, if briefly before you act. Its a much different and less forgiving world today. Use to the saying was "you can't out run the radio"...today its"you can't out run the computer"...................
Now lets talk about that crotch rocket issue,lol. I'm kidding........run what ya brung!
Sorry for the confusion, forgot how this game is played. A real bikers, um, is a virgo. Yeah, yeah, that's it, and he's bald. Let's see, and at least 40 pounds overweight. Absolutely he must have three cats to fufill his childhood fantasy to being surrrounded by, um, kitties when he grew up. He has to live deep in the woods in the middle of, um, town no more than a mile from the closest mall. He would only ride a '08 fat bob, unless it's a '94 sportster, or a '99 wrangler, or a '07 mustang. He must think the good old days are days he is thankfull are long behind him. Yes, and he must have a degree in mathematics just to be sure he knows stuff most don't and no one cares about. He must be an expert in performance tuning, um, large scale decision support databases. He must dabble in computer graphics so he can do bad art faster than anyone in the history of the world. Finally he must enjoy moonlit strolls to the kitchen for a snack and romantic diners watching reruns of south park. I think that covers it.
