Default A Real Biker

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 that makes me a poser than so be it

In my youth I rodeo'ed some and we always had to deal with the "real" situation. It gets old in my perspective too if you ride your Honda Goldwing more than 5,000 miles a year then in my opinion your'e a real biker.

You need to get with the program or you'll never be a "real biker".

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.
