At various times and in countless threads on this forum, I’ve seen spurious remarks made about what does or does not constitute behavior becoming a Poser.

To enlighten everyone, I thought what we need is a really serious discussion of this issue on this distinguished forum. So in the spirit of forum participant responsibility I thought I ought to start things off by suggesting a few.

Please feel free to add or dispute this thought starter list.

You might be a Poser if:
1.) You know exactly how many Harley-Davidson Logos there are on your bike.
2.) You use fresh oil in your engine. As opposed to the oil you drained from a customers bike with only 3K miles since it’s last oil change. (Now here's an idea for a new Oil Thread!)
3.) You wrap duct tape around the toes of your perfectly good riding boots.
4.) You replace your tires . . . . before the cord is showing.
5.) There is oil dripping from your Drive Belt. (and there are no oil leaks on your bike)
6.) You post threads on internet forums asking poser questions.
7.) When you walk on sand or soft earth, the treads on your shoes print the MoCo Logo or the words Harley Davidson in the ground.
8.) You bought some other 45 degree V-Twin than a Harley . . . because it was a better value.
9.) You use anything other than an old (stained) bed sheet for a motorcycle cover.
10.) You wash your bike more than twice a year (in the spring and fall) whether it needs it or not.

 

You just might be a poser if you ask people any of the following questions:

1.) Do you know exactly how many Harley-Davidson Logos there are on your bike?
2.) Do you use fresh oil in your engine as opposed to the oil you drained from a customers bike with only 3K miles since it’s last oil change?
3.) Do you wrap duct tape around the toes of your perfectly good riding boots?
4.) Do you replace your tires . . . . before the cord is showing?
5.) Is there is oil dripping from your Drive Belt even though there are no oil leaks on your bike?
6.) Do you post threads on internet forums asking poser questions?
7.) When you walk on sand or soft earth, do the treads on your shoes print the MoCo Logo or the words Harley Davidson in the ground?
8.) Did you buy some other 45 degree V-Twin than a Harley . . . because it was a better value?
9.) Do you use anything other than an old (stained) bed sheet for a motorcycle cover?
10.) Do you wash your bike more than twice a year (in the spring and fall) whether it needs it or not?

....Sorry, I couldn't resist...

 

Jimminee Cricket. Same theme different variant. I know what this thread will degenerate to, so I'll add the following then just kick back and watch... again...

You go to a bar just to eat.

 

1. You signed up for your motocycle club online.
2. You strive to be a kickass biker ... like your sister (this one is me).
3. You can walk into any outlaw clubhouse in the land and not get your *** beat (cause everyone will be laughing too hard).
4. You think American Chopper portrays the 'biker lifestyle'.
5. You feel a bond with Bad Boy Brad.
6. You can think of things to put on poser list.

 

1. You never ride when its colder than 50 degrees.
2. You're covinced you know all there is to know about riding.
3. You feel the need to explain to people why you ride.
4. You invest so much money into your bike that you're afraid to ride it very far or park it any place where someone might mess with it.
5. You know to the last nickel exactly how much you spent on your bike.

If you can say yes to or own any two of the items on this poster .......

 

I'll post an intervention:

A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman are sitting in a bar in New York reminiscing about home.

"Back in me pub in Glasgow," brags the Scotsman, "fer every four pints of stout I order, they give me one fer free!"

"In me pub in London," says the Englishman,"I pay fer two pint's o' Guiness and they give me a third one free!"

"That's nuthin'" says the Irishman, "Im my pub back in Dublin, you walk up to the bar, they give the first pint fer free, the second pint fer free, the third pint fer free -- and then they take you upstairs and you have sex for FREE!"

"Is that true?" asks the Scotsman. "Has that really happened to you?"

"Well, no," says the Irishman, "but it happens to me sister all the time!"

 

Is that you, little brother?

 

You might be a poser....If you have ever used the word "Poser" in a conversation.

Seriously, the only times I've ever seen the word is on internet forums and the movie "Wild Hogs"
