Posers
I know that I am going to get some smart *** remarks and so on but here it goes. I have been riding motorcycles for over thirty years.One thing I have noticed for the past 6-7 years is what people wear while they are riding their scoots. I have seenpeople wearing,headbands, leather vest, men wearing a ring in every finger, knives on the side. My point is do you have to wear all that to be a cool rider. I think the movie wild hogs made a great point on that. Is somebody a poser because they ride their motorcycle only on the weekends? It really does not matter to me when or what you wear when you ride, does it matter to you? I would not wear any of those things. I dress for the fall not for the ride. 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.

RE: Posers
I wear what I want, and I ride when I want. I do wear my HD or Sturgis Tees and a HD leather jacket, some of my dew-rages have graphics, others don't, but that doesn't matter much now as I've returned to wearing a helmet. I'm not a cold weather rider and prefer not to ride in rain if I can avoid it, but do carry my rain gear along and have spent many days riding in rain over the years while on a multi-week bike vacation. I don't carry a gun, my opinion is it can get you into as much trouble as it can get you out of. Traveling through different states and being stopped for a minor traffic violation can turn into something much more serious if a LEO happens to see you are packing and you happen not to have a carry permit for that state. If somebody wants my bike so bad that its gonna turn into a shoot-out they can have it.

OR, I have seen the posers trailer their museum pieces into the shop on a trailer, start them up, back it off the trailer, and do just the opposite when their service is done. [sm=WTFsgign.gif]
OR, I have seen the posers trailer their bikes to bike week, and they weren't from near as far away as I was. [sm=dontgetit.gif]

RE: Posers
Why is it that in order to be considered a biker by some, you have to dress specificallyor own a bike for a certain period of time? Is there some sort of written codefor bikers? Does a boater have to wear plaid pants with a pair of docksiders and a captains cap to be considered a real boater and not a poser or just own a boat?
Whatever floats your boat......wear what you want..........it's still a free country. Just be prepared to have your *** kicked by someone dressed in leathers if your caught in those plaid pants and captains cap.
