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.

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.

Nah man, I Think most of the poser stuff here is done more in fun and sarcasm. Since i have been on this forum I jsut see alot of poser talk but no true meaning of the term Biker. I think everyones defintion is different. I just love to ride and think that is what it is about more than anything. Nothing wrong with a sportster, I think the nightster is a sweet bike, but I do like to rib my buddies that ride em jsut for the heck of it. If i wasn't 6-4 320 i would have one for hopping around town.

Simply put, you like to ride, so let it rest.

To give it straight though, a biker is someone who rides and doesn't give a **** what anyone else thinks of 'em.Plain and simple, that's all there is to it.

I wont pretend to know what qualifies someone as a real biker. I don't think i have anything to prove to anybody since i use a bike for commuting in L.A. traffic and i know many men who don't have the cajones for that.
But then i have an HD bandana and jacket now so i guess i'm turning into a genuine Harley chick, or in the strange view of somea poser. Oh well

Its a stupid over played thread. You think his answer is the **** I think its ****ty. Who coined the term "biker" us or them?

Thanks to modern technology bike owners and non bike owners can spend more time being a key board cowboy then putting in the miles. I don't agree with theterm "biker" as a way to describe me as it means " one who participates in motorcycling". And nor should you. The term biker is a catchall wordthat does not acurately describe the riders of motorcycles. You have as many reasons why people ride motorcycles as makes of motorcycles. I know some bike owners who have the bike but don't ever ride it. I know others who live on their bikes and its a way of life.

Forums such as this are a double edge sword. You have j'offs who post stupid stuffhere and you have old timer harley guys from back in the day and everything in between. Its hard to tell which is which. You saying:


None of you guys want to read our crap am i right. You got to be a man to post a reply in the forum?? you think i am afraid you are gonna [sm=chairshot.gif]hit me or something???

makes you sound like a J'off and your thread suspect. There are other forums where your choice of behavior will be welcomed.

A real biker is a kid on a crotch rocket because it's what he could afford. I loved the power because it's the only thing that makes him feel alive. He doesn't care about dieing because he has yet to see anything worth living for. He lives close to work so when he can't ride he can walk to work. If he can't ride, can't walk there, he doesn't go. He rides in street cloths because it's all he has to wear. He's wearing work/hiking boots, jeans, a denim/canvas jacket and work gloves. He has 3-4 roommates that all ride so they can pay the rent on the salaries from their deadend jobs, make the bike payments and still afford gas. The refigerator is a place to store beer. The visit their parents often because they are quite loving children and the free food helps too. If they have food in their house it's what they could carry home on the bike.

They don't have a tv because they think there is nothing stupider than a bunch of people setting a room silently watching one. They don't have phones, cellular or otherwise, because that just encourages people to call them. They don't have computers because they don't want to join anyone's myspace group. They have a stereo and they love to play that loud. Anything worth being said can be said in the gap between songs. They don't go touring on their bikes, they seldom leave town. The only reason to leave town is a drag race or just to open that mofo up. Girlfriends are disposable. It's good to know where you can find a lay when you strike out in the bars, but the pesky little wenchs keep trying to tame them and there's always someone to replace them.

Work on their bike? They didn't buy a bike to work on it, but to ride it. Maybe they can, maybe they can't, but one thing is for sure they aren't paying anyone to do so. If they can't that's what friends are for. Whether they can or can't they don't want to pay for parts. They don't understand why anyone would buy a bike when it isn't what they want. Wrecks? Heck, duct tape will fix about anything. Riding it hard f'd it up? You're an idiot. Either you didn't know what you were doing on it or you bought a piece of junk.

They don't ride a bike because they think it makes them look cool, but, rather, riding a bike is cool because they do it. Other people want to be like them, they don't want to be like anyone because being themselves is just fine by them. On the bike or off, summer or winter, they're still bikers. Everyone knows them, everyone knows they ride a bike. They revel in how all the little preppy kids from high school don't even exist in their world. All the outcasts, drop outs, druggies, punks, drunks, thieves and assorted other losers is all that matters in their world. If the captain of the football team shows up here he'll be sent running with his tail between his legs.

That, to me, is a real biker. They aren't the 1%ers, but the 90%ers. Most of the kids between 18-22 riding a bike. If they could afford it they would be driving around in corvettes living in a big fancy house. Someday many of them will be the posers and rubs others so lament. They'll realize money is power and freedom. They'll toe the line long enough to get them that money. Then one day they'll realize they have the money, they have the power, but they don't have the freedom. They'll realize the only reason they don't have the freedom is they lost sight of what all that money was for. I see it, I want it, I bought it will become I want to do it so I did it.

Hmmmmmmmmmm - what's a real biker, seems to me a "real biker"has to meet the following cirteria:
Hates Wild Hogs
Doesn't wear chaps
Hasn't got fingerless gloves
Isn't gay
Fixes his / herown bike
Fabricates all his / her own parts
Tells everyone else how to
Rides a HD - of course
Looks and acts mean even if he / she is a pussy cat at heart
Oh yes - drinks beer at every opportunity
Goes to biker meets and rallies and never poses
Rides in t-shirts and a leather vest
Is patched (if you have to ask you're not)
Is poor
Has his / her wallet attached to his body by a chain
If he lives in Arizona or Texas has a concealed weapon
Rides in all weathers
Takes 20 minutes to clean his / her bike
Has dropped their bike and been hospitalised at least once
Did I miss anything.................................
Silly me and there was me thinking a real biker was someone who enjoys and shares a common enthusiasm for powered two wheelers!

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 couplebikes 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!

3) Your significant other must be at least15 years younger then you
4)You have to have raced bikes at some point in your life ( any kind of racing will do )
5) Must have anger management issues
6) Must have at least 20 years riding experiance
7) Must havedriven at least 200 miles to pick up bud who has broken down
8) Have to have dipped one tire in each ocean

10) Must have a good sense of humor

The heck with labels, just get on your bike and ride,btw, I guess I don't quite qualify for my own standards, oh well,8 out of 10 is not bad, lol. Well at least I don't have to worry about maintaining my status!

At the end of the day, it is the life you led, not the image you projected.

What is your definition of a Real Biker in 2008.

My definition of a "real biker" is someone that doesn't think riding a motorcycle is a fashion statement, doesn't care if people wear a helmet or not, doesn't care how many miles someone puts on their bike, doesn't care if someone cleans their bike, doesn't care about someone's social or economic status, doesn't care if someone choses not to ride when it's raining, etc...

See where I'm going with this?

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.

__________________________________________________ ______________________

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 myexperience has defined it. Like I said I don't meetmy personaldefinition (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

Without reading the posts, here is my take on this BS. A "real biker" is anyone that believes he/she is a "real biker". At this late stage in my life, I consider myself a motorcyclist.

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 couplebikes 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.

...Most folks wouldn't know a real biker if they saw one...


thats because there are so many counterfeits running around

best way to tell is the teeth, check the teeth

real bikers usually have bad teeth

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.

OK. Fair enough. I have been ignoring these "real biker" threads for months, but just this once (but probably not for the last time) I'm gonna speak up. My definition of a real biker is somebody who loves bikes and rides on his or her own terms without giving a rat's a$$ about stupid lables like "poser", or "Rub" etc. etc. ad naseum. Just shut up and enjoy the ride.........and now I'll shut up.

A real biker neverreplies to real biker posts. Someone else posted this for me. But seriously, real bikers ride sporties, dynas and road kings. Posers ride everything else.

My thoughts exactly....

So after all of these brilliant post my conclusion on "what is a real biker" A real biker is someone who tells another they aren't a real biker and reserves the right to post whore just to raise there forum status. Another observation is the tactic my old lady takes when she is mad, "you should already know why" so the final answere i have found is Biker=Complaining B*tch.
Thanks to those of you who answered the question seriously even though the thread was here to just prove a point.

Glad i am not a biker

Me! I'm a real biker! I have been riding for better than 25 years in all kinds of weather. What your wearing couldn't make one hoot of a difference. Really! If all it took to be a real biker was to wear just the right stuff then anyone who doesn't even own a scoot could be called a real biker.

Real Bikers ride that is the plain and simple of it.

What a riot, glad i found this place, its better than Happy Days with the Fonze. I ride with who I want, when I want. 1%'s, 99%'s doesnt matter. You like me, thats okay, you dont thats cool too, just go away! Real biker, if Ya have to ask then Ya dont know and I would not be able to explain it to you

A REAL BIKER

A real biker walks into this bar and orders a shot of Jack and a beer chaser
As he sits there in his beat up leather a beautiful lady walks up and sits beside him
She looks him over and asks are you a real Biker
He pauses in a moment of reflection, Yea I guess you could say I'm a real Biker
My Momma, when she was pregnant with me, rode on the back of Dads Harley
After I was born, I rode on the back of Dads Harley
As soon as I could throw a leg over a Harley, I started riding my own Harley
And I been riding Harleys ever since. Paused and downed the shot of JD

She looks him over again and states, Well I'm a real lesbian and all I can think of is women
Women Naked, Women I can kiss, Women in the shower, Women In my bed. Tall women
short women, sex and more sex with women, She abruptly stands up and leaves
This guy seeing the empty seat walks up and sits down and looks at the Biker
And says, Are You a REAL BIKER
The Biker sits there for a Moment in thought, Takes a drink from the beer, Shakes his head
Looks the guy right in the eye and says, Well I thought I was up to a few minutes ago But
I GUESS I'M A LESBIAN!

Ya are who Ya are, Deal with IT!
