no rules.... just something wrong with a MAN wearing a looney tune sweatshirt in my mind. Then of course looking to buy a style for his new bike....then of course getting out on his bike with his "tough" lookin flat black helmet, leather jacket, chain wallet, boots...and other 'style' accessories... LOL... Just your typical pansy azz RUB trying to fit into something he is not....which of course makes him a poser...
So you are saying that if you wear black boots and a leather jacket you are a poser???? Please explain. I really wouldn't feel comfortable wearing running shoes while riding my bike. Granted i don't spend hours on buy clothes to "look the part", but face it, leather stuff keeps you warm!

Me, if someone was sitting on a leather couch when i bought my bike they would have seen me walk into the store, stroll straight over to the 09 RG, sit on it, then spot an '08 over against the wall, walk over sit on that one, talk to the sales chick for about a minute then make an offer. You wouldn't have known I was looking for at least a month prior, in and out of two other stores about 10 times each, looking at every other model.
I knew exactly what I wanted, and that day there it was, 08 Rg with stage 1 installed, sounded great. I knew my prices and offered them a low ball. They came back with something higher but I kept beating them down till I got my price.
Regarding the clothes, they're way over priced in the dealer store, I found a biker store in town here and me and my wife probably visted that little shop 10 times buying stuff. I admit I'm a full on poser, got all the poser clothes, but at least I rode mine every single day last summer put on 27000 km.
Wonder what a guy has to do to become a real biker? hmmm. Have to ride more next year.

Hey i gotta admit, last couple of times me and the wife have gone to the stealership, we have spent an hour or so looking around. Most of it is spent with me poking around the crome and thinking "holy crap, I hope this is cheaper on ebay!" then I get the wife to start looking around, and I try and get her to buy some of the clothes, cause damn, Harley knows how to make a womans shirt! Of course they are a little expensive but to see her in some of them I would pay for it! And of course it always gives me leverage, she spends the money on Harley clothes, I spend the money on my Harley! (This is in theory only, has yet to work out as planned) I ususally find a shirt or so i like, take one look at the 80$ price tag that is 15% off and think about the exact same shirt somewhere esle without the Harley logo for 15$. And therefor, the only Harley shirt i still own is the I bought mine at!

Yeah, I have a few too but for what they want for them, I'm just as happy wearing non-HD shirts for a fraction of the cost though; or something fun like a concert shirt, a shirt I got at a ride or an event or something smartass like the Happy Bunny stuff. I've even got one that says, "Boys are stupid; throw rocks at them." 
All in good fun guys. Some people just love the bikes so much, they deck themselves out in HD stuff head to toe and can afford to. I'm not into that but don't mind some of the stuff.
