The difference now is for most of us our lives don't revolve solely around a bike and its what our lives do revolve around that allow us to have a bike (or several of them) and a bunch of other things "a biker" never had. A bike is a part of my life but it sure ain't my life.

I don't post much here, but I read a lot of what gets posted. This thread, started by you is one of the stupidest I've come across. Maybe while you were at the dealer waiting with the other posers and not being treated with enough respect you started to feel like you weren't special enough, and thus this thread was born. Who gives a runny **** what you think about who's real and who isn't? As far as what you don't like (not enough ***** runs, not enough drinking or weed use, not enough "posers" getting a beating and having their fake vests torn off at the gas station) like was said before, you're a free man in America on the 4th of July...go grab a bottle and some herb, fire up the pan, throw on your cut and get some Titty...just be careful of who you **** with out there, you never know who you're dealing with and even a lot of the posers are carrying concealed nowadays.

I don't need your "respect" to ride what I want, where I want, how I want or when I want, so I guess you can shove your ponitificating thoughts of "today's riding demographic" up your poop chute.

Like everyone else, I see the irony of the fact that you're bitching about people in the dealership when you yourself were....wait for it....sitting around the dealership. You're getting up there in years and bitching about the younger generation. Well guess what, when you were 20, the older generations were bitching about you.

No way...oil threads are tame compared to "real bikers" threads.

Lat year when I was a kid use to go to the shop and shot the **** get work done at the soda machine had beer in it garbed a beer and went outside maybe smoked a joint. Lots of times went for a ride with the owner after he was done work, looked for tit and ***. I guess I am just getting old, maybe just one more ride just to see **** and ***, drink a few beers.

So it's the past you're speaking of? I get it, but you can just say what you mean. It's the same for your "real bikers" today. So living a life that would embarrass your parents and land you in jail...and you're a "real biker". Hey, whatever trips your trigger.
