Here's what I don't get; The MC faithful here will swear up and down that hardcore MC bikers are just like the rest of us, jobs, families, etc. Some of the nicest people in the world and such.
But, when someone who doesn't belong tries to dress like one of those bikers who are "just like the rest of us" they're accused of trying to look bad ***.
So, if the real bikers really aren't bad ***, why are the people that dress like them pretending to be bad asses?

Along these lines, when on the rare occasion that I play a round of golf anymore, I wear a golf shirt, golf shoes a golf glove and sometimes a golf hat. Because I am worlds away from being a badass professional golfer, does my golf attire make me a poser? If so, what would I wear and use to not be considered a poser?

Why the *** do people want to play bad *** biker soon as they get a harley?
some of these have naver ridden before in their life
some have ridden 20 years ago, before the wife made them sell it
some have ridden other brands ....
yet, soon as they get on HD they have this urge that completely over-rides any logic and they want to put patches on the back, wear silly outfits and think that its their constitutional right (if not god-given) to start a MC?
whats wrong with just riding a motorcycle?
whats wrong with joining an existing RC?
does harley buying experience instantly change an insurance salesman into a "biker" ?
I'm just curious .... is there something harley installs into new bikes that causes overnight transformation?
Ohhh... so you live there do ya then? -L- Well that 'splains alot. Wondering where the hell you were. Yeah, stick around, we're not all bad and it's true, no one likes a pretender. Do you people in your kingdom consider yourseves English or are you Celts? Just curious... no offense and etc.
Manx people are Celtic/Norse, but the language is Gaelic - same family as Irish and Scots - although few still speak it. Isle of Man isn't part of the UK, but the Queen of England is also Lord of Man. We have our own parliament that the vikings founded in 979 and our own laws.
Me: my Dad was English, my Mother Manx, but lived most of my life overseas til I came home 16 years ago. There are more people of Manx descent in the US than there are here - including most of my family.
I really don't give a rats *** what you ride or what you wear, as long as you're someone I can respect.
Start acting like an a$$hole and all bets are off.
Just to give ya an example, most riders I look up to are Beemer riders that rack up 50K a year and don't wear any brand name t-shirts or some of my racing budies that don't even ride on the street, but wear out a set of tires every race weekend.

Weird phenom about BMW riders. The ones are I know are SERIOUS riders. Their automobile counterparts are SERIOUS weenies. Especially the 3 Series owners.
That is funny. I know I am the worst speller. My daughter too, she has a form of dylexia. Hard to diagnoise in kids. They found her's because her IQ was so high 130+ with dylexia(think about it, as far as taking the test). She was moved to the most advance math class and in the EC reading class. So you great spellers, it's not accurate to judge someones intelligance on their spelling.
EDIT - I did have a point besides bragging about my daughter. If you met in person you would think she was a very intellegent kid, that has no problem holding a conversation with an adult. But if she was typing on this forumn you would have a totally diffrent preception. She has came a very long way dealing with her dyslexia, But it has been alot of work for her.
The new MC . I think half of it is people want to have something on the back of their jacket, to complete their outfit. Also if the SOA would wear pink striped T-Shirts for a few episodes. The future start up clubs would all have Pink Striped T-Shirts.
