If you go to a bike event in the middle of July and walk around in 100 degree heat with Chaps and fingerless gloves on, you are a RUB
If you go to that same event, and wear chaps and fingerless gloveswhile riding to protect yourself in case of an OhOh, but take them off while walking around, you are a biker
If your 5 year old bike has 1,000 miles on it, you are a RUB whatever you wear.
If you spend more time bolting chrome on your bike than riding it, you are definately a RUB
If you wear Doo Rags you are either: Bald, black, or a RUB...or Gay
Enjoy the forum and your bike. Wear whatever you want, whenever you want. Somebody calls you a RUB, they are probably one and just trying to divert attention from themselves.

I have a neighbor that has 5 hHarleys including a 2007 ultra "trike" conversion and a 2007 springer he bought just because it's the last year they are making them. He also has two customs that he built himself. He is either working on one of his bikes or riding one of them. Rain or shine, warm or cold, he is riding. But he is definitlya RUB.
I have a Harley and a custom. Work on 'em some and ride 'em some. I would be called a RUB also. Being a RUB ain't all bad.[sm=lol.gif]

I've only been riding for a year, and I'm sure some people will say i don't deserve to have an opinion. But i have a few friends who think riding over 50 miles in a day is uncomfortable and not fun, yeah pretty sure they are RUB's. The first thing I did last summer was plan a long ride I could do, I did it 1300 miles half in the rain, and the bike broke down real fun, now i just need to find the people to go on the rides with me!

You do realize thet the word "urban" refers to inner city. Most so-called RUBs I know live in the suburbs, which is definetely not urban. Did I just tell on myself? S**t!

M'Kay, I have been riding only since Dec. 06. I live in the country. I do not make six figures. I've got about 5k miles on my Deluxe that I've had less than a year. I've done a little wrenching on it myself. I don't wear fingerless gloves, but have nothing against them. I do not wear chaps in summer. I do wear the occasional do rag or a scarf.
Rich? No
Urban? No
Biker?No, not in the true sense of the word.
But do I like to be rubbed. Yes, yes I do. Try not to take yourselves or anyone else too seriously guys.
