Is it too hot to ride? Raining? What???? Damn but there have been a ton of these BS threads lately. Go out and ride, don't worry if your neighbor thinks you are posing.
+....500, lol
Like I said....****em. Call 'em a bitch and roll on. It's THAT easy.
I get amused with all the stuff that goes on here. At first I would pay attention to what people would say constitutes a REAL biker, but after awhile it gets ridiculus. I can see the assless chaps. The fingerless gloves maybe, but when it comes to where to put my gas cap & which side of the bike to stand on when you pump fuel, it's gettin stupid. I am going to ride my Night Train how I want (although I won't wear shorts) Put fuel in it on whatever side I feel like it & maybe even lay my gas cap on the **** of the woman at the next pump. If thatmakes me a poserthan so be it
Then so be it.
As long as you ride a Night Train, find and check out Night Train's sig line, says it all, to me.
I like the replys so far...when i got my first harley..I think the only tradition to being a biker is..( you were a low life..or rebel..)..now it has taken on a whole new thing..i use to ride harleys..up untill 3 months a go..bought a wing ,,for several reasons..but i put on 5900 miles in 3 1/2 months...So i am like alot of the replys above..i do not worry about what people think ..i know who i am & what i am about...so if you do not want to ride with me because what i ride..f... ... then..so ride on to all that ride instead of talk..

I guess I'm getting here a little late since I just joined this week. From what I'm gathering there is a disagreement as to what makes a "biker". (Disclaimer: What I am about to write is based on my opinion without going back to research the points up to now)
To me a biker is someone that loves the thrill of riding, respects other riders regardless of the make of their bike, enjoys interacting with other bikers and rides their bike at any opportunity.
I base my opinion of if your a "real" biker on what my Dad's reaction to you is. If I bring you home and he craps himself, your "real" and that makes you a "keeper" too! If he likes you, then your a RUB and the date is pretty much over. LOL
PS: if you wear a$$less chaps and fingerless gloves with HD emblazoned on every stich of clothing you own, my Dad is more likely to crap himself.

That was my wife's mother's reaction when she met me... "You're not dating my daughter, you're too... too... tattooed, bald and goatee?! Nope, you're not dating my daughter." So I didn't, I married her
My wife loved the "bad boy" side.
