LOL!!! I just joined the forum and was breezing through this thread and started to LMAO! .......I'M A RUB!! I live in the sprawl, I have 1 H-D for the bars and pissing people off in the parking garage at work, one for the open road (basically to just get the f out of the sprawl), and an SUV (but it is a black Excursion diesel that would drag any Range Rover down Park Ave. on its side!). But, the jacket is beat to hell and the jeans are worn. No starch!

Looks like this place could be some fun.

I just don't like the guys that drag their Bike around on a trailer to show off.
You know, the S.H.I.T. guys. Single Harley In Tow.

Why do all the RUB threads get so many replies? Why have so many been started? I find it amusing that so many people need to label themselves or others, and many that feel the need to defend who they are.

QT. Did you really have to post to this thread? [sm=bustedsign.gif]

Why am I called a RUB? I have owned a HD bike since 2000. First bike was a 2000 1200 custom. Currently own a 2004 Fatboy and a 2007 Street Glide. My family has always been a HD family. Dad had a 61 FLH duoglide that some of you helped me identify here. My brothe has had a couple of Sportsters and now owns a 2005 fatboy.

thanks

I get the same thing. Of course I had to deal with the whole Sportster is a girls bike when I started out too. Am I a RUB? Who cares. The wife and I have no money problems, we are both retired from the Navy and have pretty good jobs. I have never been one to feel entitled to have stuff with one exception. I devoted 26 years of my life and she gave 25 of hers "supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States ..." and now we get a pretty nice pair of checks every month. I think what we did entitles us to have fun and do what we want and screw everyone else. I have an SUV, pickup truck, we both have Harleys, then there is the boat, the horse and the race car. Life is great.

I ride my bike to work every day unless it is snowing or raining hard in the morning. We do at least 300 miles every weekend that we are not at the race track supporting my son in his effort to win a race. I have never ridden my bike from coast to coast only stopping for gas and bathrooms because I don't have time.

I am capable of totally disassembling my bike replacing any part that needs to be replaced and putting it back together correctly, but I choose not to (I have to spend too much time doing that to the race car, the bike is a toy) so I have my dealer take care of it and they do a great job.

People are too quick to judge. I liked what Peter Fonda had to sy at the end of Wild Hogs when he was talking about the real posers.

I am usually not arrogant about many subjects but this one gets me riled up. I worked hard to get where I am and I gave up a lot to get here, I am going to enjoy it.
