RE: What's a Wannabee?
Wannabe = Want to be
Want to be a biker, want to be agangsta, want to be (whatever).
A person that tries extremely hard to be someone/something they are not.
A poser.
Like the guy described in the post above.

RE: What's a Wannabee?
They are the guys in trucks with 4 H-D stickers on the back window that say to you at a stoplight "Why the F&*% would you buy that crap when you could buy a Harley?" (Guy actually asked me this at a light in my town)
I laughed at him and said "When you grow up and buy a bike and not just a sticker, THEN you can tell me what I should buy. This IS a Harley"
He looked shocked and embarassed and rolled his window up while I continued laughing
