RE: Posers
I dress for the fall not for the ride.
I do the same , and sometimes get needled about it from my ridin' buddys, especially in summer heat. But when I ride its, boots, gloves, leather jacket, helmet, goggles and "my radar turned up full wick" for distracted cagers [sm=smiley2.gif]

RE: Posers
i read most of this thread this morning because i found it entertaining to see just how silly we humans can be sometime. i find myself looking at others and trying to figure out what they are about because i am just a silly human. but i do not dwell on it and make it my life. what someone rides or wears does not reflect their heart or character. if you can kick someones butt or not does not qualify you as a man. i am sure there are people out there who judge me based on my look. i have been asked for years what type of harley i have. in fact i got my first harley a little over a year ago and had not ridden for about 20 years. big deal. it's all good.
if you think about it, 20 yrs ago the real bikers did not sit around on their computers and type silly crap to other bikers. so i guess we are ALL POSERS. or maybe we need to up-date the RULES on what makes a biker.
oh thats right..... i almost forgot, there are no rules.

RE: Posers
I think being a "biker" is more of an attitude thing. In my mind, a biker is a person who cherishes his/her independence, freedom, and who enjoys being alive. Riding brings life at you fast, in all its majesty and beauty. It brings its hardships, its joys, its downfalls, and its moments of serinity. If you can handle all of that, indeed, if you crave all of that, then you might be a biker. Too many people cherish their safety above all else and thus they submit to a slow form of death. Not to wax poetic, but being a bikermeans a lot more than having a bike.......my 2cnts.

RE: Posers
I feel like a misfit toy......Ihave beenfortunate in life. God gave me the opportunity for a college education, good job,nice home, two cars, a harley, and most of all a wife andtwo children. I live in the burbs and wear a suit to work some days and scrubs on others. I have been to Sturgis, Pigeon Falls, all across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois on my bike.
I like to hang out at the local dealership on Saturdays if its raining and talk shop with whomever shows up.
Call me a RUB (Rich UrbanBiker) call me aPoser. I really dont care. What I get out of owning and riding aHarley Davidson Motorcycle is for me.....not for you.

RE: Posers
I dont wear all the gear I should. Never have liked chaps if it is cold I wear thermals. I can go inside and noone would know if I was riding my bike or drove my car or truck (if I evenhad one). I am just one of the dumb ones I guess... Ride what you want when you want. I know also when I was a little boy I never said want a honda or a yamaha unless it was a ATV. You can ride what you want and I will ride what I want.

I like the one where you pull up at a gas station and some guy wearing a Harley shirt says" nice bike" I have a such n such but it's in the shop. I think I hear that at least once on every trip somewhere.

I have had this bike a week, put 3 tanks of gas in it and heard that story several times already. You can't make this sh!+ up. Oh, and I drove to the dealership today and some "biker" while I was there thought it important to tell me that he thought I am too big for my scoot. I responded with "Good thing I upped the cubes then, hun." to his dumb founded stare.

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.
