Hell to be honest, if i was a rich man I would have no problem in putting several thousand dollars in my bike! I would have custom everything, lol! Attend all the major events, and do it in style. I'd still ride the wheels off and could afford to burn off the tires at events. But I'm not. I have to camp, eat fast food, and buy whatever beer is the cheapest. I had to save for 6 months to afford Sturgis! To me, a R.U.B are the guys that spend thousands on their bike, keep it in the garage to show their friends and family, and only ride when the weather is not to cold or hot. They don't love being on their bike or live to ride it and will eventually trade it in for a convertible car.

I see this asked a lot but it never has been answered in a straight forward fashion and usually gets in to the well a biker isn't this or that.

So can someone PLEASE list what a REAL BIKER IS PLEASE!!

I am a REAL biker...That is all.
