The "Walk"
When I was home last week I stopped in at my favorite watering hole for a drink and some guy was in the parking lot and asked me why I was riding a Harley. I said "what do you mean"? and he told me that I don't walk like a biker so I shouldn't be riding one. He said I walk more like a tennis player and I should sell my bike and buy a tennis racket.
I'm very upset by this because I don't like to play tennis and I don't think I would look good in one of those lil skirts.
If I don't get the walk down I'm afraid I'll have to sell my bike. I've been riding Harley's since 1969 and really don't want to stop
Can anyone describe how a real Biker walks for me so I can fit in better?
It seems like every time I turn around it's something else. This Biker thing is just getting way to complicated.
Please somebody help me.

LOL Iron....LOL
well lets see, not really sure what the biker walk is...since well not really sure who the bikers are....see there are a few of this type, and then a few of another type, and so forth, at the end there is a whole ton of different types of bikers that all ride cause they love the HD and the riding.
I would not know where to turn, and which group to bike to be the one to determine the real biker walk style.
Maybe the safe bet is to watch a few old western movies and walk like the ol' cowboys did in those movies, I mean can't go wrong with the cowboy walk....

I tried that but when I got back on my bike it made me belch and it also made my eyes water (not very biker like). I suppose I could just put it in when I get off and pull it out when I'm ready to ride but that seems like allot of work.

Sounds like he was lOoking a lil' too close at your walk. Maybe he was just flirting.
With a name like "IronAss" you just have to expect this sort of thing . . .
