RE: Posers
I am by no means a trouble maker, like to make friends, hit the road and ride just don't like people judging people because they don't ride everyday.
You last sentence said it all ( who cares what you ride or how you look just ride and smile)
Been riding motorcycles since 1976 first harley bought in 1986 but if you ride I ride with you not against you)
Bet you wonder why people use their hi way pegs in between lights
Hell who cares just ride

RE: Posers
Ya know...a friend of mine bought his first harley about 6 years ago. He is 6'4"..about 240 and is in pretty good shape for a 54 year old guy. The day he picked up his bike...not knowing or caring too much about image...he wore a blue and white floral hawaiian shirt, a pair of white shorts...and a pair of brand new white sneakers. On top of it all..his legs are lilly white! He proudly picks up his bike..and proceeds to take a little ride before he brings it home. As he is riding down the beach, he comes up on a group of riders at a red light. He pulls right up next to the rear rider and says "Hi!" He's all proud of his new bike. The rider says to him..."nice bike man! $#@#$ up shirt but nice bike!" Ever since then...he dresses for the ride to look a little more biker looking. Ya gotta admit that you don't see many riders with Tommy Bahama shirts and linen pants riding bikes. But then again...who am I?? I'll ride my bike down that same stretch of road with a pair of shorts and footflops on. I know...I know..that's dumb...but I do it.
I believe that when HD buyers get their first bikes that they feel as if they want to fit in to the crowd and look like they have been riding for years. I agree that some of them are total transformations. Doctor by day...Hells Angel by night! I think it's OK..cuz' it gives me something to chuckle about!! It's all cool in my book!

RE: Posers
The real poser's are the riders who think that people who dont look a certain way, ride a certain bike or act a certain way, arent real riders. A poser is someone who judges other riders without getting to know them. Some people forget what its all about! Doesn't matter what you ride, how you ride it, or how much you ride it. Just get your face in the wind and twist the throttle. Screw what everyone else thinks, rides or wears.
And to those of you that do judge other riders like that, KMFA.

RE: Posers
you ever notice how many people hate labels except for "biker?" Even imply that someone is a rub or a poser and you'll get full on flamage, but biker, man everyone wants to be a real biker. Whatever you decide that is. For me, you ride when you can, do your own maintenance(get a manual and a wrench, you'll learn quick), your not adifferent person when you ride(and I don't mean you feel like a different person cause your on the ride and away from life), you truley enjoy the ride(not just looking at it), you don't bitch that the moco should have done this or that better, YOU make it better. I also tend to think ofbiker's as v-twins. At least as cruisers, not enduros or crotch rockets. Though, some of the most hardcore guys I've ridden with rode those. How can someone go longer than me on an enduro, when I ride a Road King? That's pretty hardcore. Flame on
