RUB= the folks that follow trends to be cool and they clip on the ponytail to be bad *** and complete the "look"!!

If it were not for the rubs there would not be so many low mile new condition bikes with loud pipes for sale !!

Hell guess I'm a rub. I'm bummed. I don't believe in being in debt. If I can't pay cash then I don't buy simple as that. I'm not going to join a club or rg or anything bc I want to customize my scoot or sorry ill say motorcycle. And yes I wear a DOT helmet even in states that don't require it. I've busted my *** to get what I got so I'll do what I please with my benjamins

And yes I'll give an over hand wave sometimes to be a smart *** why? Bc I don't worry about others opinions of me whether on the bike or not.

I learn so much about myself on this forum. Thanks. Now, I can add "Rub" to the list of things I guess I am. On the flip side....Thank You Jesus for blessing me to have enough disposable income to have enough money to do whatever I want to do, when I want to do it and I Thank you Baby Jesus for that shiny 2013 Street Glide all chromed up with only 2500 miles on it. Now Bless me as I take my trip to Canada next month as I attempt not to be a Rub

Rode my bike to work today and parked by the other 20 or so baggers and a guy laughed, pointed and said....wow, that is clean, do you ride it. I asked.....do you see that 750Li I drive everyday....it's clean too, so why don't you have an issue with that? PPL!

No problem, that is why they pay us teachers the big bucks. Hahahahahaha


Oh in case anyone wanted or cared to know, there is also PRB (Poor Rural Biker) not to be confused with PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon) which is the PRB's favorite beer!!!

He must have meant "rube", not, "rub". Ironic because a rube is an uneducated person, usually of country or hillbilly origin.

Now, that is funny!!!!! Like...I'm sitting in my office laughing and ppl looking at me crazy as they walk by. But if you wear a logo 24/7, then you'll be called a "Poser" ...I learned that term a couple weeks ago too
