what ever!

 

i have been riding 45 years back then if you rode a harley you were a ********.now everybody got one.know a guy when we were kids and have't seen him in alot of years ,he just recently bought his first harley and has everything they sell bolted on the thing.he and his girlfriend have all the clothes down to the underwear and socks.i really do like the guy but you have to giggle alittle when they talk about the bike,he don't have a clue.maybe with time we can bring him around.

 

I been at it for 46 years and wear conservative clothing. I don't have the need to look ultra tough and you wont see a growl on my face, unless a cager crowds me and gets me in danger. Then anything goes.
In general, Each to his own...

 

Damn...Got that right Tim. Someone dug deep to resurrect this Frankenstein.

 

I used to laugh my *** off every time this guy would pull up to our boat shop with a bass tracker, painted red to match his 4 wheel drive truck, a GA bulldogs logo all down the side of both and matching licens plate frames. When the guy gets out he's wearing cowboy boots, wrangler jeans, a red bulldogs ball cap and a red bulldogs shirt to match his pretty boat and truck. The truck suspension is so clean its obvious its never seen a dirt road and his boat motor doesn't have a single scratch on the bottom of the skeg. His boots have not a single rub and his jeans are pressed. Not only that but the guy couldn't speak a whole sentence without making it blatantly clear that the closest he's ever been to UGA was Saturday afternoon football in his living room. We had more than one of these retards, hell, Georgia is FULL of them.

Point is there are morons in every croud. Luckily they are too dumb to notice therefore not camouflaging it so they're easier for the rest of us to spot and avoid them if we feel the need.

As far as poseurs, riding is a release. Some people go to the range, some people ride bikes, some people knit sweaters, some people rep their favorite sports team.. Who gives a **** what anyone else does on their available time to get themselves right. I may laugh to myself at someone from time to time but I'm not judging them. I might call them a retard in my mind and have a chuckle at their expense but if ever engaged in conversation with them i would show them the full respect that they deserve. People are different and sometimes that's pretty damn funny. Before I bought my bike I never wore a bandana, leather boots or Levi's. I'm a dickies shorts and DC shoes kind of guy. But I wear a bandana because it keeps the wind out of my ears some and spaces my shades away from my eyelashes. I wear boots because they're far more comfortable to ride in. I wear jeans because the junebugs don't sting as bad as they do in dickies shorts. I cary a knife because its better to have one and not need it than to not have one and be without. And I ride on the weekends because I have a JOB which I am at for 60+ hours a week and am usually not in the frame of mind to ride safely when I get off. I clean my bike every weekend before I ride because I'm proud of it, not because I could give two ***** what someone else thinks. It makes ME feel good and that's the whole reason I bought the damn thing in the first place. So if that seems poseurish in someone's opinion I'm cool with that. Please do me a favor and judge me and stay away from me because if you think you're that much better than me you're not someone I'd ride with anyway.

 

Who cares?

I have a few t-shirts from far flung Harley stores in Saudi, Hungary, Thailand and a few others. More like momentos to me and is sometimes all I can remember of the place because my memory has been fogged.

It doesn't affect me one bit if someone likes to spend their cash on trinkets and beads or forget to shave on the weekends and wear their leathers. Why should it matter to you? Oh yes, some people like to hang out in the same spots the other folks hang out in and feel superior to them. Guess they get their ego boost that way.

I'd rather be with the weekend warriors, they do it for all the right reasons...to have a good time. I don't think I would fit in with the hard asses because they might find out that I used to ride motocross and sportbikes for longer than some of them have been alive.
