I road with about 20 guys the other day and from time to time when we were stopped taking a smoke break, having a beer other bikers would ride by on their Harley's. Some of the guys with me would call some of the guys riding by "yuppies"

I'm not sure why!
They would only called certain ones yuppies.

So I'm thinking "yuppie" Is a guy that has money and byes a Harley and tries to be macho and maybe thinks hes bad because he has a Harley.

I have no clue really just guessing.......

Can anybody explain to me exactly what "yuppie" means?

 

Around me, its a guy with new bike, or fully chromed out bike, no miles, new harly jacket, boots etc....

It goes both ways, dirtbag, yuppie,

I ignore the people judging others, not worth my time to justify who i am or what i ride.

ride what i can when i can, and enjoy....

just my .02 if your asking..

"yuppie" comes from Young Urban Professional.

basically, someone who is in their 20s-30s with a ton of money and a high sense of self worth.

Yuppie + Bike = R.U.B.

 

Makes sense to me I guess lol!

Thanks

 

Judge not,least ye be judged.

 

Hey at least there riding.
Have a couple neighbors.One guy parks his bike out front like an ornemant.The other only rides up and down the block.

 

One reason I ride alone most of time... get tired of the stereotypes and labels people put on others..... rather not hear it and enjoy the scenery.

 

I think I'd rather be riding with the ones that are not stopping for beers.
