It's 17 degrees right now... who wants to go for a ride through the ice and snow?????
Wow!
Poser is a term thrown around way to much on this forum. A poser is someone who pretends to be something he's not. (much like kids who wear the SOA gear and put together a cut to make it look like an MC cut.) But many on here would lable 70yo Mr goldwing rider a poser. Even tho all he's not pretending to do anything or pretending to be anyone other than himself. You have to look at it from their point of view (I'm going to ask you to be a poser for a second) Pretend for a few moments that you read on a third grade level and never made it past Jr high. Then what he is trying to say will magically make sense. (ok now when I snap my fingers you will revert back to normal.)

Yep, I "gots" 1 that my boat sits on. Got one made out of an old studabaker pickup bed. A 16 foot flatbed. And a two horse trailer. (for the non-iron variety) But if I ever did have the need arise to trailer my bike I could rig up the flatbed to haul it.
Although, I have no clue what that has to do with my assessment.

So let me get this straight. What your saying is that anyone that rides a motorcycle but doesn't live your lifestyle is a poser? Even if they're not pretending to be anything.

So let me get this straight? Your saying, I'm saying, what? If your going to make accusations on this forum about a member, you better be able to post proof positive, prospect.

Let me rephrase it then.
You called these guys with trailers posers. What are they posing as?

Oh, and I think it's pretty clearly written in plain English what I was "accusing" you of saying.
But that was a pretty good way you skirted the actual point of it. Trying to turn it away from the subject at hand.

Nothin like the word trailer to set some off on both sides of the fence.... Its gettin to be a dirty word... "go trailer your Mama!" Go trailer yourself!" "Trailer you!", "Yeah, Baby, I got a Big trailer...all the trailer you want...", "My name is Richard but my friends call me Trailer." pretty soon you wont be able to say trailer on TV, you will have to spell it Tr***er.
Yes I have a trailer and I have (gasp) been to sturgis with it. Its funny, when I bring the trailer, it doesnt rain...

I haven't worried about anyone elses opinion since I was a wee little one and got rejected by the 10 years my senior blond with the big T....T..'s. Could care less. I ride all summer and if given the opportunity, I'll throw my bike on an enclosed trailer and head south during the harshes part of the winter and spend a couple of weeks riding in the sunshine. Fortunately, I have friends with second homes in two warm clime locations. To each his own!
