The "biker" thing ,I think, started with the 1960s movies. So. If you have tatoos, apehangers, loud pipes, no helmet, rigid or softail, gun your engine at the stoplight, wearing a "cut", long hair, beard, with a joint hanging out the side of you mouth, your signifacant other on the P pad looking like you but feminine. You may be a BIKER. Otherwise you are a "motorcyclist". Either way you are are on two wheels. Ride on.

I personally like being called a "biker", vs. a "M/C Enthusiast". I go to "biker bars", wear "biker clothes", attend "biker rallies", ride with a group of other "bikers", and love to talk "biker sh&t".
What I'm NOT...is a biker "gang member", "Outlaw", Fugative, or outcast. Even if you ride a Suzuki somethingorother, you're still a "biker" to me...and I will respect you.

I must be subscribed here...
But I'm not going back looking for my previous post. This group knows me as a biker, rider, poser, or motorcyclist-I am who I am. My neighbors on the other hand think I'm a 'biker gang member' cause there might be 6 motorcycles in my suburban driveway. I don't care.
