funny thing is i grew up in the redmond/woodinville area, it may change from person to person, but that wasnt the case back in the day when i was growing up... it could be i gravitated that direction, and that has followed me to this day
got that right HarDlife, its a shame that there are steroetypes but thats people and they will express their prejudices without thinking twice... i just dont like the ones who make everyone else look bad
"Biker" is not how we refer to ourselves as being, I refer to my self as being Kevin.
Biker is how non riding people refer to those of us who rides motorcycles. I don't
mind being referred to as a biker, or scooter trash, scooter bum, harley trash, so
forth and so on. I don't start fights over being referred to as "one of those people,"
but I don't like it one bit, not even a little.

Agree, it's funny how some people make fun of guys that they consider weekend warriors. Did they stop and think that maybe due to their job restrictions they can only ride on the weekends.
I see so many clean cut guys out on their street glides on the weekend. That's great, more power to em. Every one of them however, and i mean EVERY one has a scowl, and is trying his best to look mean. It's comical, as if that's how they think they have to look.
I've been on a street bike since '80/'81. Looked in the mirror while riding Sat and i had a big ol' grin on my face. I'm covered in tats, got the long hair, but i sure as hell didn't look tuff with that stupid grin.

i myself get a kick out of it, people can call me whatever and have done so ever since i can remember, thats fine... i kinda like being called those things because people dont have a clue as to who and what i am, and that has served me well over the years.. im not a tough guy, but i dont take much crap off anyone and i dont look for a fight either.... i consider my self "just me" and no-one has to like it
