RUB-Rich urbun bikers.
I encourage everyone who shows interest to get a bike, because I have chronic addiction. Saddly, I know friends that bought a Harley because they thought it is cool to own one. They have no idea or interest in riding. The bike sits in the garage most of the time. They love to talk about riding but will never know the true "escape from everything" that motorcycles can provide. I ride with most anybody until I see reason not to.

What is the minimum milage one must ride each year to not be considered a RUB ?

Is there a minimum yearly salary requirement $$$ ?

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.0.1)

–adjective 1. of, pertaining to, or designating a city or town.

What does "urban" have to do with it ?

Labels! Never really like them when talking about people. If you like to ride with a person chances are they will be a friend or will soon become one. Not a label just a person.

My two cents.

I agree.
People who label someone else are usually the type who are very insecure, and are not comfortable with who they are themselves.
I ride with anybody. I have rich friends, I have poor friends.
I don't have any jealous friends because jealousy and envy are big turn offs for me.

I never have figured out why other people are so worried about other peoples choices. If someone rides everyday or just a few times a year I just don't see why it should make a diff to anyone else. I ride when I can and prob more then the average rider. I also have freinds that ride lots more miles then I do. Just because I may like to ride often doesn't make me more of a "badazz". I would imagine some who ride less think we are idiots for spending too much time on our rides. Bottom line is why the label or the attitude that riding more often makes us something better then those who don't or can't ride as often. I think it is more sticking noses where they don't belong or are welcome. Just my .02 and nor directed at anyone. Now shut up and ride!

Why thats the start of a childrens tale............

You take the time to label others and one day you will need a rollodex to post all those labels in, but then you will have the time to post them......I only have a few labels that I use... Stranger, Person I met, Friend.

The fact that you have a bike, physical ability, funds, etc. is a true blessing, whom you decide to share that blessing with is up to you, and the other person should they decide to ride with you.
