Uh-oh... I have a '12 Street Glide, with a few Harley accessories on it, a Harley leather jacket and ball cap and even a sticker on my truck and I only ride my bike about 5000 miles a year (due to work and short Canadian summers) I love my bike...it makes me happy. I love having a beer in my garage while I look and polish or when my buddies come over and we hang out and talk bikes with the game on.......I'm a RUB and didn't even know it!! I am so embarrassed. You real bikers don't have to wave at me if you don't want to....I understand.

They can do what they want with their money, I don't give a $hit.
And neither should you if they aren't infringing on your turf.
Nothing else in this world more important ??

Of course like the threads

Wearing a Buell jacket while riding an hd?

Some spend more time worrying about what floats someone elses boat then riding their bikes

My bike looks nothing like my mother's.
I don't care WHO you are, that's funny **** right there!!



I am a RUB.

I am a Poser.

I wear Harley tshirts when I'm not working... and sometimes a Harley collared shirt when I am.

My 2014 RAM 4x4 CC has a Harley sticker, but my 16 year old son's 2014 Jeep does not.

I put the HD accessories of my choosing on my 2014 Ultra Limited.

I ain't afraid to ride with ANYbody, save the morons that think they have something to prove... and I'll ride with them too,
....albeit I'll be found in the rear of the group.

I've been on 2 wheels 29 years, I've ridden Jap bikes when I couldn't afford American, and loved it.

I work on my own ****.

If YOU are broke down on the side of the road, I will stop and get my tools out and do my damnedest to get you running, failing that will stay with you until a flatbed arrives, offer you my phone to make the call, you not having your own, or will go fetch you some Burger King while we wait.

Call me what you will, I really don't care.
