Hey now, I like cuppucinos, but I like JD and beer too. I sometime wear a full face helmet(when it's 25 to 40 degrees or raining). I do take my bike in for oil changes, they'll give me free tires for the life of the bike(although, if I do the math buying the tire may be cheaper), and my garage door opener is in my tank bag(I can back right in after work every day) If this makes me a Yuppie, where's my youth and money? BTW no trailer, penny loafers, wash off tatoos or Harley toilet seat, but I haven't kick started a bike since my teen years on dirtbikes.

Deni, good post.

I laughed at,"If you never kick started a bike before."

There was a time when you took some good hearted ribbin' if you had "push button start".

I had both on my 79' and would kick along with everyone else when the group was moving on. The group all kicking their bikes over was a kind of ritual with others standing around watching.

Those were the days

I know a yuppie biker. He is a dentist, bought a 2001 VRod. It has just under 1600 miles on it ...1500 and something.. heheheh. I bought mine and asked him to go riding. Thought we'd make a day of it.. two hours later he said he was done and wanted to go home. hahahaha .

Took him to the biker bar way out south of town. I could tell he didn't feel comfortable at all. Of course me and a couple of regulars I know did get a little loud and rowdy that day.

Wish I was a yuppie!!!!

I'd be at least 25 years younger.
I'd have at least 25K just sitting in the regular bank account.
I'd probably have a new bike every darn year.
And I wouldn't be worried if someone called me one either.

But I'm not, and I'm content with that too.
