But I have to ask, whats makes a biker a biker?? One who loads lots of miles and wrenches there own bike? Or one who wears the clothes, and acts the act? Because I for one, don't give a flying F*CK about wearing all the leathers, and patches, and tattoo's, and long hair w/ beard, and all that jazz. A lotta guys around here just wear that **** just to fit in. And I think they are the biggest f*cking posers of all. You want respect? Then just ride your bike. I wear everything that a biker is not supposed to wear on a motorcycle. I get a lot of weird looks at bike nights, and meets. Is that respect? Hell the f*ck no... and to be honest, I don't give a f*ck about the respect. I ride to ride. I enjoy the ride. I logged 20k miles in my first year of riding. That may or may not be a lot to some, but am I bragging about it? No... do I care? No.. I wrench on my own bike to save money and to learn. Have I ever turned a wrench before owning my Harley, lol heeeeeeell no.. but I do now.
I don't know where I'm going with this, but it just upsets me when people say who's a real biker or what a biker really is. Because in reality, who is a real biker? Why does one have to wear all that **** to be considered a real biker?

agreed....do not bash others people work...if a opinion is asked...constructive critisism can be relayed....we are all different....that is what makes life interesting or it would be a vanilla world....that also goes with telling people their price is too hi on their scoot they are trying to sell...blood sweat and time cannot be measured,..I used to see that alot..sorry to deviate...was a pet peeve of mine...and I have a few from time to time...as far as the "lifestyle" goes...I'm not totally hip...I mean..theres a difference between being a good human verse not over a word or two that may have been taken the wrong way....a biker rides...bikers have to share the road...usually the key is lead by example...I went on a HA run with my metric bike..a few years back...I was not told it was...bout pooped when I pulled in and saw the banners...bet my bike got more looks than almost anything there..but all was cool....I try to treat people as I would be treated...unless my buttons get really pushed...lol
sorry..i'm rambling..lol

bakerm, I think saint is more opposed to people making comments along the lines of "dur dur you ride a SOA bike." I know i don't mind when people make suggestions on what I do but thats not the same as the aforementioned comment.
Well put saint, It pisses me off to see.
My next bike/build is going to be geared more towards outlaw style. It's an awesome concept and screw the comments.
