All anyone has to remember is act like an A$% hole you get treated like one....To sum up the whole different definitions of MC world...there are 1%ers and 99%ers and where your spirit and attitude is going to dictate what %er you are....to each his own.

It is nice to know that once in a while others see it too.

As the song says, when I drink alone I prefer to be by myself. And, I'm a loner when I ride. I do it for me and no one else. I wouldn't say I'm a biker or a motorcyclist, I just like to ride. To each his own.

I thought I looked cool once but then I realized that nobody can see its me under that bucket that I wear on my head. And then I went and dropped my bike which pretty much erased the tiny bit of cool that was still left. So now I just ride and hope nobody is looking.

You're right, trout31. Dropping the bike ANYWHERE erases the cool factor, I don't care who you are! Guess that's what builds character.
