Default yesterday

yesterday i posted asking peoples opinion of what the biker lifestyle is.I did this just to get a feel of the people on the forum.As is the case at most of the rallys/events that I attend I see that this is a fairly diverse group.This is what I had hoped for.

Diverse? We're all a bunch of aholes that ride Harley's. Doesn't sound very diverse to me.

Not only did you discover diverse, you occupied a lot of people's time posting, good to get their minds off other things like work.

Hey, I don't want to be lumped into the general ahole category. There's all kinds of aholes that ride.
It reminds me of an old Abbott and Costello line. Abbott asks Costello "What kind of idiot are you?" Costello replies: "How many kinds are there?"

Seriously, Bikers lifestyle? I can answer that.

Be Yourself! Live free, and ride on the open road….the best part of all of this is discovering where life has taken you!

So what is the right answer to the "biker lifestyle" question?
BTW many people who ride have never been to an event or rally or internet forum.
