I'm self taught. I didn't know there was a school.
Do they teach you how to dress and which oil, wax and jack to use?

Well I guess I'm not. I have been riding since 1962 , started on a 165cc harley hummer. Never been without a bike, owened almost every brand known to man. Raced flat track back in the late 60s, and put about twenty five thousand mi. a year on my bagger now. but I don't know what the hell (OCC+WCC) mean, so I guess I'm not old school.

Before this poor thread gets flamed to death, I'll give you an honest answer.
There's a few real 1%'s, some ex 1%'s, and a fair amount of guys that have ridden HD's for numerous years. That's about half of the membership. The other half seriously needs to grow some facial hair and stop shopping at Old Navy.
