What's The Difference
First of all what is a "True Biker"? I don't think there is a difference. Riding is a passion that both posses. If a true biker is someone that knows how to fix a motorcycle, than there are few "true bikers" on this forum & there wouldn't be a need to help each other out with some of the questions that are asked. Simply stated: Passion for the ride is what makes us go out on weekends or practically live on the bike.

I don't think I am a RUB... I must be a PUB, or a DUB, or even an IUB. (Poor, Dum, Idiot)
Ummm I have NEW Harley Logo jacket, NEW Harley boots. Oh... NEW Harley (FLSTC). So, I'm probably NOT a "biker" to you?
Let's see. I CAN fix a bike, actually one end to another. But, maybe since I go to work and make a decent wage at what I do for a living, I can afford to pay professionals to fix most things? That makes me not a biker?
I ride, sun, rain, snow, etc. whatever comes my way.
And............I rode a Harley in the 70's, did you?
Out of all the guys that you make fun of???? I bet at least ONE will eventually be mechanically inclined etc, to meet your expectations. Those rich bastards are for the most part rich, because why? Could it be they are smart?
Wish I was smart.
