I keep playing the Loto, I want to be a R.U.B.; so what about the guy who lives next door to me? I don't think he ever rode a bike in his life. He has all of the Harley stickers on his truck and wears Harley t-shirts and hats. I do get a good laugh when I ride up and he just stands there like a 5 year old looking into a toy store. Poser?

RE: R.U.B.S.
I havesome possible definitions of a RUB. First anyone that is a Hamster is definitley a RUB. Secondly anyone who can hardly ride their current motorcycle and wantto either make theirs faster than their buddies or are looking to buy one that is faster then their buddies.Lastly they just have to have the newest creation after putting a pile of money in their current ride because their current ride is "so last year".

The term RUB has been around for quite some time. It is not only about income, rub is a combination of several different things. Money, Bike, Miles(or lack of), attire (HD to the max, all new and no bugs), etc... Not one of these things makes you a rub. And if you are one fine, if not fine. We can yammer about it all day, but the fact of the matter is, if you see one you willknow it.

Never seen a RUB buy/keep a Sporty more than six months. It just doesn't fit their image. Most of them that I've seenbuy a big Harley that they can't handle safely (when they ought to start with a Buell Blast). Lots of nice RUBS, but I avoid them like the plague on group rides.
There is one great thing about RUBS: they supply the market with a lot of good used bikes that the rest of us can enjoy.
