Default what am I???

I suppose I am opening myself up for some interesting criticism but that is OK - give it your best shot - I can take it (I hope) -

This is me and my level of interest in motorcylcing. I bought my first Harley in 2003 when the entire world seemed to be buying harleys because of the 100th anniversary. Since then I bought my second bike last year. Because of my job I can only ride mostly on weekends. Depending on when I get home I'll take it out for a spin. I've ridden in the rain but don't like to. If it is threatening to rain I generally decide to not ride. I have sunk a ton of $$$ into both bikes and sometimes I feel like I am keeping HD afloat in the stock market My T-shirt drawer is overflowing with Shirts from all over. I have a pic of my bike as my desk top on the pc. I wear chaps, tassles from the levers, fingerless gloves, I have full respect for all MC clubs, I wear a non dot skid lid, My two favorite Motorcycle movies are Wild Hogs and Easy Rider.

Most importantly though I love to ride. I can't wait to go on longer and longer trips. I love the sound of the pipes, the wind, even the taste of bugs in my teeth.[:'(] So what am I? A RUB, I wouldn't consider my self to be rich (monetarily speaking) Urban bike yes. A Poser? I didn't buy my bike to impress anyone. I bought because I loveit (period)

So help me out - What am I?

You're probably not much different than a lot of folks here on the board. You just need to get a T-Bag and some rain gear and head off intothe sunset for a week or so to get the full benefit of what you have.

A biker is someone who lives to ride their bikes(s)! If that fits you then you are a biker or whatever you choose to label yourself! The rest is just image and choose whatever you like and to hell with what everyone thinks!!

I keep the rain gear in the saddle bag ready to go if I get caught in it. The one week thing sounds great to me.[sm=goodidea.gif]

A guy who seems to like describing himself. And needs help with a definition as to what he is, for some odd reason.
