Use to be a 1 % was a biker... everyone else who rode just loved motorcycles and love to ride them...

Now I see where a lot of 1 % drive BMWs, Escalades and he like when they are not on their bike... Go figure...

Guess there is no more "real" bikers to speak of...

Seriously, I'd have to agree with dbleagle, I don't know that the old time biker really exists anymore. Most everyone just enjoys riding, whether it's every day, cross country or just to the Harley shop every Saturday.

As stupid a question as this is, I'm going to reply.
One thing I have learned in my time riding. You will NEVER be able to tell a true biker by looking at them or by what they ride or by how much they make. Your going to have to talk to them a bit to tell. Never judge by appearances. Most people will surprise you one way or the other.

Real bikers are the ones who ride a motorcycle and are not concerned about what anyone else thinks of them, their bike, or their clothes.

Biker? >>>

I consider myself a Motorcycle Enthusiast...
I stop and talk with other Enthusiasts,
I wave to Little Kids, Old people, and anyone else that watches me ride down the road...

If I see a motorcycle broken down on the side of the road, I'll stop...and I'll try and help the best I can.
I have done most of the maintenance on my own bikes...
I have never rebuilt a EVO or a Shovelhead... but I have owned them

I don't dress to impress...
I wear things that will help me when I Crash, and live to ride another day

I could care less what you think of me...

I define who I am... not what I ride, what I wear, or some stupid Label that seems so important to some.
