It’s time to play biker bingo! How many can you spot?



When you've been on the road for long enough, you start to see certain kinds of biker regularly cross your path. Here are some of the most common – give yourself a point whenever you see one on your travels.


The poser


These bikers have watched the first season of Sons of Anarchy and suddenly think they’re the real deal.

There’s not a crease in their leathers, and their bike is so clean you could eat your dinner off it.

The lovebirds


The inseparable couple, even while on the road. These pillion riders are practically joined at the hip.

You’ll often catch these bikers finishing each other’s sentences, leaning in sync with precision and showing too much PDA for anyone to handle.


The squid


The official unofficial name for a reckless, inexperienced biker. We won’t tell you the origins of the name – Google it if you want to find out the gory details.


The bike whisperer


These bikers are the wise men of the road. The two-wheeled gurus. They’ve been riding for so long you can’t tell where the bike ends and the person begins.

The accessoriser


How many mirrors is too many? For these bikers, this is more a challenge than a question.

Their bike may be a fashion statement, a repository for souvenirs, or one of those things that “just got out of hand”.

The gadgeteer


An off-shoot of the accessoriser, the gadgeteer is clad in as much tech as you can feasibly fit on a rider.

Their bike has the latest GPS navigation installed, their handlebars have attached MP3 speakers, and their helmet is crowned with a GoPro camera.

The jobsworth


Do they even enjoy riding a bike? We can’t tell.

You’ll see the jobsworth riding through city traffic, night and day, in some of the worst weather Old Blighty can throw at them.

Whether acting as a courier or a pizza delivery service, they’re there to make your life that little bit easier.

So even though they may not enjoy the ride, they’ve earned our respect.

 

Then there's the 8th biker type - The Troll.

 

Perfect.

 

lmao!

 

9th....

The biker who cares more which category they belong in (or be associated with) than enjoying just riding anything with 2-wheels.

 

.....and then there is the other type that is too damn worried about what someone else is doing.

 

Bike whisperer wouldn't be riding around with shorts,
Try again,

 

Yup, THIS.

Seriously, just ride your ride and who gives a **** about labeling others...

 

Don't care what group people think I am in. My 15 limited is 14 months old and 18,800 miles as of today. We like riding and not sitting in bars or at a Dealership. If you like that more power to you. If that me less a biker then so be it!

 

I don't know what category my grandson is. Don't think he cares, either, when he's got the throttle.
