I've been a blue collar worker all my life. As a young kid paperboy, mow lawns. As a teenager wash dishes/bus tables, enlisted. For almost 33 yrs at the same business run heavy equipment etc.
Both of my bike were brought brand new and I paid cash I saved to do it.
I ride with blue collar or white collar guys that enjoy riding.
Don't like me? Like me? It doesn't make a difference in how I enjoy myself.
I wish I was a RUB, I could get a lot more riding done instead of spending my life in the fkn' oilfield. I bought a brand new bike in 2010. I wanted a bike I didn't have to repair daily and could just take off and ride anywhere without worrying about breaking down. I paid cash for my Road King, after working 15 years without taking a vacation. I take vacations now but two weeks a year just ain't enough. I hope I live another 4 years, that's my planed retirement.
Man, I wish I was a fkn' rich urban biker, for now I got to settle for real ugly biker.
i don't worry about what other people do or say. i ride when i can and work when i have to. at 63 it doesn't matter to me if a guy makes 10000 a year or100000. rides a new or old bike or a metric or a harley. me and my girlfriend ride every chance we get and in maine sometimes its a short season. we meet lots of nice people and a few a holes. but mostly nice people who like us just enjoy the ride.
