RE: Posers
I had jap bikes all my life, and got my first Harley, the Ultra, last June. I guess I'm a poser, not cause of what I wear (full face helmet, armored jacket, but just say no to chaps) but because I don't work on my bike, instead taking it to the dealer where someone who knows what they are doing can work on it, (and afterall the mechanics need to eat too), and because when I go to Bike Week the 1st of March the bike will be on a trailer. Going down with a lady, so much more to carry, and, if it was just the cold I mightride, but that time of the year there is too much chance for rain/ice before I hit the warm zone. Don't want to spend my time off in a hotel waiting out an icy rainstorm when I can be in Daytona. I will however, wave at all the real bikers riding down as they go by.[sm=americanasmiley.gif]

RE: Posers
Don't care what folks wear or ride, as long as they enjoy motorcycles. One guy, however got over the line. When I first got into bikes, a million years ago, I lived in the San Francisco area. One day I was riding my little Yamaha R-2 (350cc) in Golden Gate Park. I saw a guy decked out in leathers and spikes. Figured he had to be riding one hell of a bike. I watched, expecting him to get on a big, loaded Harley. Instead he got on a motorbike, a small one at that! Couldn't believe it. He needed full leathers like I needed a halo. I circled the guy, laughing and pointing. I was in no danger, if he had taken exception to my bad behavior and if I felt the need I could have outrun him on foot. Still, my bad, what can I say I was young and felt the guy was doing a lot of false advertising.

I'm 66 & turning into a Poser - might put the bike on the market this spring? Might change my mind if i get feeling better - I wear white t-shirts - levie's & boots when riding - it's so much easier & feels better to wear white t-shirt, shorts & flip flops & jump in the Beemer & either put the air on or top down!
