Default I'm new here
and have been reading through some of the threads. I think I am going to like this forum if I can figure out all of the lingo. I think a cage is one of those things we all drive when we are not riding our bikes and rockin a helmet apparently means wearing one. I think I have been in the mountains and on the farm too long so will somebody please tell me what in the Sam hell a RUB, yuppie and poser are?

I know it's sick, but when I read that in your post it reminded me of the movie 'Deliverance".

LMFAO!

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Thanks Soos
Dang, we got individual labels for us now?
Where I come from, anybody who rides a bike is a biker unless a biker is now something other than someone who rides a bike.
Biker Wannabe??? How can someone who rides a bike be a biker wannabe?

I think I am gonna have to get familiar with all these new generation names.
Anyways, thanks for the explanation. I don't know what label I fall under and really dont give a rat's *** so long as I can still ride.
