It usually pops up once a week and ends up getting nasty by the 20th post. I'm surprised the mods don't have a "real biker" filter to kill these before they start.

This isn't about you, just this topic.
Guess I haven't been here often enough to notice. It's just that I read a post about someone "claiming to be a real biker".

someone who doesn't spill their latte while passing people on the interstate.

someone who color coordinates their leathers with their bike.

someone who goes to the stealership to get their tires aired up and oil changed.

someone who doesn't start these stupid threads.

anybody 'cept you

Lance is coming out of retirement and will race in the TDF again next year. He went out on top, why come back and risk not winning and damaging his legacy?

And......his mailman has a Harley, so this is still Harley related.
