Not allowed to be a biker...

[Fatt Max]

Ok, I realise that this will attract a heap of pisstaking but I would not bother posting if I thought that would not happen.

So, I ride everyday, to and from work, on my trusty Hyosung GV250. Briliant bike, suits me fine, never gives me an ounce of trouble, costs feck all to run, do most of the service work myself and whn I have taken it on a ride it can cruise at 120km/hr with a fat bastard like me on it.

Not bad, not bad at all.....

I'm in Wellington today for work talking to this guy during a break in one of the many mind numbing meetings I have been subjected to, and up comes the subject of bikes. He tells me he rides a Suzuki Boulevard and I tell him I ride my GV250. Coversation goes well until I mentioned 'some biker mates of mine'.

Well, this guy jumps on me and goes to great lengths to explain that I cannot refer to myself as a biker until I have 'at least a 750cc machine, 250's dont count mate, you are at most a rider....'

I dont recall referring to myself as a 'biker' by the way, I was referring to friends, but thats just a technicality....

I did remonstrate with this guy, he was of the opinion that anything below 750cc is ridden by a rider, bikers ride 'proper' bikes......

So, according to this (ahem, South African) person, I am not a biker. I'm still fat though.....

Who else is not an offcial biker then....???

[Big Dave]

Who cares.
Next!

[Maha]

To slow Mark..you should have said ''sorry me ole chimer did I say 250? I ment 1250, its a Bandit you saffa cock now fuck off''.

[Gone Burger]

I'm ashamed of a Boulevard rider to say such crap. I'll apologise on behalf of him Mark for being such an egg. You are WAY more of a biker than some of the people I have met on their 750cc and aboves.

Beautiful day in Wellywood huh? :yes:

Welly was farking lovely today mate. Took the cab to the airport around the waterfront even. Meant I had to run for the flight but I need the exercise.

[slofox]

So, according to this (ahem, South African) person...

Typical fucking yarpie - knows everything...:whistle:

[Fatt Max]

Who cares.
Next!

I know you do Dave because you have told me so many times.....especially after rumpity doo dahs....

[Bald Eagle]

So, according to this (ahem, South African) person,

There's his problem right there, nothing worth listening to , moving right along now

[Big Dave]

No silly - that's what you should have said.

[riffer]

Since when did you give a flying fuck about anyone else's negative opinion?

[Voltaire]

Maybe he meant Pieker and it was the accent....:innocent:

[Geeen]

Meh, If you ride a motorbike for enjoyment, you're a biker. "It's not the size that counts, It's what you do with it" ...

[Fatt Max]

Ok, not that bothered about the guys opinion, just wanted to see what you lovely people thought about said opinion.

I mean, it's a bunch of arse as far as I am concerned but I've thrown it out to see if we KB folk could disect it and see what happens.

I did mention the geezer's heritage, though that may have played a part in the overall opinion but hey....

Fun though, innit......

[Katman]

Fantasizing about getting your knee down in front of the Queen will never make you a real biker.

[Fatt Max]

Since when did you give a flying fuck about anyone else's negative opinion?

The day I said 'I Do....'

[Mom]

Well I would have enjoyed partaking of that conversation, as a "friend" mind. I am obviously NOT a biker according to the Yarpie...

[nzmikey]

The day I said 'I Do....'

Ahhh the day you lost your balls , I remember the day that happened to me .....:brick:

At most it sounds like he's a wanker

I think you're confused you missed the last 2 letters n't.

[Oakie]

Meh, If you ride a motorbike for enjoyment, you're a biker. "It's not the size that counts, It's what you do with it" ...

That's what I was going to say.

18 months ago riding back from the West Coast I saw two groups of bikers. One group at Maruia (?) Springs all on big bikes etc. The other heading from Christchurch to Hamner Springs on scooters riding into the howling westerly. It was the latter group I respected more as bikers and you can bet I gave them all a big wave.

EDIT: Oh my God ... I hope I haven't become responsible for another 'waving' thread.

Did you tell him that your mum told you you can be anything you want to be?

Except an angel, because fat people have no souls right?

[yod]

...... I cannot refer to myself as a biker until I have 'at least a 750cc machine, 250's dont count mate, you are at most a rider....'


wow, what a fucking chimp

You could have mentioned that you pass boulevards over the rimutakas round the outside, knee down, one-handed, with monotonous regularity and would that make any difference?

[DrunkenMistake]

Hey! just becouse we fatties get hungry and eat our own souls does not give you the right to take the piss

[jaffaonajappa]

You ride a bike, you think like a biker, you sound like a biker, you prefer bikes to cars? Dont give a shyte what kind of bike it is. Its yours. and you ride it regularly.

Tell him your not a wannabe biggot, and to fuck off home to africa.

[Sable]

Biker on a 250? Sure. Biker on a 250cc cruiser? I think not. :scooter: :nya:

[yod]

I love talking to guys like that.So easy to wind up.

There's a gimp at my work who just can't help but wank on about his v6 commodore and how quick it is....

He tells me he rides a Suzuki Boulevard


you should of LOL when he said that

[MadDuck]

That your not a biker unless you ride a harley.

Yep. They are of course correct :scooter:

[Big Dave]

So, what is a REAL Biker then?

[cheshirecat]

So let me see. Which bike creates the mostest biker.

I get off my bike and try out 600 sports which will by all accounts wap the socks off mine (well maybe not midrange), then pontificate a Harley which will feel sort of sluggish at best, then try out a 125 five cylinder Honda IOM thinghy in the wet or better still have second thoughts and give the wee beastie to Rossi and stay alive

[Fatt Max]

So, what is a REAL Biker then?

Oh dear, here we go again...

Not my fault, I didnt say it.....

[ducatilover]

You didn't even point out that he had all the pre-requisites to being a cunt?

[FJRider]

Yep. They are of course correct :scooter:

You just continue to believe that ... and the smile will be yours ... :yes:

Yamaha rider ... know the truth ... :innocent:

[Woodman]

So, what is a REAL Biker then?

Why not put a percentage on it.

Considering all that you are, what percentage of you is a biker??

[Sable]

Probably my right hip and both my knees.

[tigertim20]

You didn't even point out that he had all the pre-requisites to being a cunt?

hahahahah! best reply yet!

[neels]

So that must mean some days I'm a biker, and some days I'm not.

Now I'm just confused, or is it just my split personality playing up again.

Mustn't listen to the voices......

[zeocen]

Well that's good to know. I've been wanting to distance myself from bikers for a while now and I've succeeded by downgrading from 1200, to 919, to 800 and now to 600! I did it!

I am now a cageless cager. Those damn bikers! Get off the road!! :angry:

[sportster]

To me a biker is about when they ride not what they ride.

So your main form of transport is two wheels and you ride all year round including through winter on anything from 50cc scooter to a 2000cc+ bike your a biker.

You ride any bike only when the sun shines your a poser who can't call himself a biker.

[sil3nt]

The guy is an idiot. Should have realised you weren't a biker when you mentioned you rode a Hyosung :whistle:

[Latte]

Have you not being paying attention to Katman's message?

Where's the f-ing poll man! :shutup:

[ducatilover]

agree with this! the guys at the model railway club laugh at me on wet nights cos i usually arrive half drowned. or, if by some miracle i dont get rained on getting there, sure as shit itll hail on the way home. :violin:

sunday just gone i went down to sanson just for the hell of getting out there. was dry the whole way there, but it pissed down the whole way home. end result was my waterproof jacket and gloves all got water logged and took 2 days to dry, my shoes are still a little damp and my jeans went from baggy to skin tight. despite that, i had an absolute blast and would do it again right now if given the chance.

i would be interested to know how long the toss pot has had his bike, how many k hes put on it and in what weather compared to anyone riding a 250.

[jaffaonajappa]

You ride any bike only when the sun shines your a poser who can't call himself a biker.

Have you left college yet?

I prefer riding when the sun shines - in fact - i love riding almost any bike when the sun shines.

When its wet, i leave the bikes in the garage and - i take the scooter.

[aprilia_RS250]

Like duuuuuuuuuuuh! :blink: You're a biker when you're sitting on a fucking bike! Should have slapped the cheeky fucker and had a pie to top it off.

[Big Dave]

the guys at the model railway club laugh at me

That's probably because they don't know what a female of the species is.

[Camshaft]

ur a biker mate, ive got mates without bikers that are more biker that bikers with bikes

[ellipsis]

...the yarpie may have good reasons for being a twat on the day..you never can quite tell..he may have missed out on a bj the night before, his sandwiches may have gotten soggy, he may have had to sit next to a kafir on the way to work,'cos I bet he didnt have his mega-bike with him, he might think you are a threat to his image, as a twat on a mega-biker-bike...always look on the bright side of life...he probably believes his own shit...what a burden...:facepalm:

+1 ride whenever (mind you I take the wifes car if I have to take both my girls somehwere!)

Yeah but everything Italian does ... doesn't it?:innocent:

And denies it stinks as well... :laugh:

Max, the FBMC kinda shows where your passion is, stuff him probably spends more time polishing his di... I mean bike than riding anyway.

[PrincessBandit]

Polishing his helmet...

My thoughts on the matter are that there are tons of people who ride motorcycles who are also fantastic specimens of humanity (whether or not they hold to the umbrella title of "biker"). Then you have others who ride motorcycles who are complete and utter dickheads. Knobs stick out in all sectors of society as just having to poke their sticky business in where they are least wanted or appreciated.

As far as the ones who sit astride a bike saddle, it is just one of the reasons why hell will probably freeze over before there is ever a completely united front of responsibility from motorcyclists regarding our precarious status as life forms on the road.

[oneofsix]

ur a biker mate, ive got mates without bikers that are more biker that bikers with bikes

Well put. I was thinking that Oldrider, who is deregistering his steed, will be more a biker without his bike than that helmet polisher (thanks princessbandit) will ever be on his 750+. Sounds such a 1970s attitude, actually more like 1950s, perhaps he needs to move into the 21st century and stop confusing drug pushers wearing patches with bikers.

Hey man, I never push my drugs, I always carry them in my bag. And i only wear the patches cos i cant afford new jeans man.:sunny:

[Paul in NZ]

Gah! Whats a biker? Well my bikes are NOT my main means of transport and have not been for years and never will be again.

But - I rebuild my own bikes, pretty well everything except chrome and specialist technical stuff thats not worth buying the tool to do. Ride when I can and when I want and more importantly dont give a flying fuck what some twat thinks of me...

For the record - 2 of my bikes are under 750cc (650cc triumph and 50cc / 100cc Suzuki)....

[wysper]

Who else is not an offcial biker then....???

Just for the record, I prefer the term rider anyway.

And on an unrelated note, what the fuck is up with cricketers referring to batsmen as batters!! That pisses me off. It's cricket, not baseball. mutter mumble grump grump

[Str8 Jacket]

Wish I was cool enough to be a "biker".......

I have had my full licence for years and after being sick of debt I have been riding around on a lil 150 (tractor) for the past few years. I don't have a car licence so I ride it everyday, in every type of weather. I like to practice my race starts at the traffic lights and often take off faster than any of those "real bikes". Really pisses them off - they come flying past me a few metres later. Reckon it annoys them even more when they realise I am a GIRL!

Dickheads, the world needs them to keep us on our feet!

[Oakie]

For the record - 2 of my bikes are under 750cc (650cc triumph and 50cc / 100cc Suzuki)....

And that there puts the lie to the argument. 'Rider or 'Biker' is about the person. The person doesn't change when he/she gets off their 1000cc tourer and gets onto their 250cc runabout. The twat originally described by FM is obviously fixated by image of the bike and probably has a a branded leather jacket and I bet wears a black 'pudding bowl' half helmet. Poser.

[Banditbandit]

Who cares.
Next!


Typical fucking yarpie - knows everything...:whistle:

At most it sounds like he's a wanker

There are motorcyclists (straights) bikers (a state of mind and attitude NOT what you ride) and bikies (the 1%ers)

The attitudes expressed above a definitely biker ...


So, what is a REAL Biker then?

An attitude on a motorcycle ... and I don't mean the wanker attitudes of the FTW 1%ers ...

[shrub]

What he said. I know a guy who rides 15 - 20,000 kms a year and hasn't owned a car in years. His bike? A CB125. He loves it and has had it for nearly 20 years and bought it when his Norton Commando 850 was giving him grief - he still owns that too, but hardly ever rides it.

[ynot slow]

:lol: agreed....

There's a gimp at my work who just can't help but wank on about his v6 commodore and how quick it is....
Serendipity would be pootling up behind him on the open road one day....
:nya:

And ss commodore drivers are more fun,they sit on 135km and I'm on his tail,160km still there,hell he can be radar bait,then after he put drivers wheels over centreline on several corners(cause they handle like shit,unlike the race versions lol,and not a ford) finds a neat straight winds up,so I let him think he's got me,then wind on throttle,at 210km he backs off for corner way early,moral was we did at least 100km of secondary and state highway in quick time,and why would I pass was happy traveling at 125-130km he was doing.

[Swoop]

...because fat people have no souls right?
I think you are confusing fat people with gingers...

[ynot slow]

You own a bike you're a biker,you pay rego you're a biker,you ride and enjoy the feel you're in heaven,size don't matter.

:devil2: It is a really ghey bike though.

[gijoe1313]

Gosh, I suddenly turn into "not a biker" when I ride my lil'ol'hornet CB250F ... and when I get home and ride off on my Predator or CB900, I'm suddenly a biker again! Good gosh magolly! Gee whillikers! :shit:

I'm suddenly a biker again! Good gosh magolly! Gee whillikers! :shit:

Fucking Hell. My tattoos faded reading it.

[imdying]

Tell him that you heard something similar, but the cut off point was 150hp. Since his piece of shite cruiser isn't anywhere near that, it makes him a mere rider at best. Alternatively you could just get real close to him, close enough to invade her personal space, and then laugh loudly and ask him who told him that ridiculous bullshit. Tell him that only a complete cock smoker would believe that crap, and that if turns around you'll give him a reach around to make him feel better.

[Paul in NZ]

Actually - I was thinking about this while looking like I was working this morning.

As soon as someone starts talking about 'bikers' n stuff like that. You know, a real biker does blah blah blah.... or I'm a rider not a blah blah... I just turn off and stop listening.

I own motorcycles and I have done for a long time. Sometimes I ride my motorcycles a lot and sometimes I dont. But I try very hard not to let a motorcycle or any other object define who or what I am because I honestly think that is the direction to hell. Am I a biker, hell no, I'm a sad old middle aged fart .... and proud of it...

[slofox]

Removing the fat from milk leaves white water.

Yeah. Abomination. Although I call it "grey milk".

[Shadowjack]

I think you are confusing fat people with gingers...
A comment like that could cause resentment amongst those of us who...
Oh. Wait... on reflection - oops, haven't got one of those, either.

[javawocky]

...So, according to this (ahem, South African) person, I am not a biker. I'm still fat though.....

Who else is not an offcial biker then....???

My 599cc means I am not a biker :shit: :cry: I tried so hard but I missed it by 150cc

This explains why all the 750 gixxer riders on group rides always look down at me cuase the are real bikers for having slightly bigger pistons.

Dumb South Africans (luckily I traded my green passport for a black one a few years back :moon:)

[slofox]

Well I rode my 599cc "not a biker" machine to Raglan and back this morning. If the tosser who made the original comment had come with me, he might have changed his mind...:devil2:

[slofox]

I tried so hard but I missed it by 150cc



It's 151cc there java...:whistle: 749 still wouldn't qualify I'm sure...

[avgas]

Well, this guy jumps on me and goes to great lengths to explain that I cannot refer to myself as a biker until I have 'at least a 750cc machine, 250's dont count mate, you are at most a rider....'
That is gold coming from a wannabe harley owner.
I bet he had a harley patch on a leather jacket too. Cos all the cool kids have one.

Only thing worse than a poser and a try hard poser with an opinion.
Some of us here went down in CC's - me especially.
I had too, its the law don't you know - if your penis gets larger you have to get a smaller bike. FYI watch out of the chicks on vespas......

[slofox]

Or they are nit-pickey old coots.

...that too...:whistle:

[gijoe1313]

Oh the humanity of it all! Can't we all just get along, who will think of the children? (hopefully not those nit-picky old coots ... eeew!:sick:)

So this obviously leads to the next point ... a special wave for those who are bikers and one for those who are riders! :innocent:

It's true. They have gingervitis (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ginger+kids).

[Fatt Max]

I am seriously considering organising a 'We Are Not Real Bikers' ride for sub 750cc bikes, ride through Wellington to where ever this geezer lives, make a shit load of noise outside his front door then get our 'not real' bikes and ride them fair up his butt crack....

[Maha]

Well, this guy jumps on me and goes to great lengths :blink:

You told him that you passionately love Hondas eh?

[MarkH]

To me a biker is about when they ride not what they ride.

So your main form of transport is two wheels and you ride all year round including through winter on anything from 50cc scooter to a 2000cc+ bike your a biker.

You ride any bike only when the sun shines your a poser who can't call himself a biker.

Cool, I'm a biker then (by that definition at least).

It's funny, there have been people that try to give me shit for riding a big scooter, but for the money I paid I had a whole bunch of other options available. I coulda bought an older GSXR750 for half of what my scooter cost, but I chose what suited my needs best. If I gave a flying fuck what every other cunt thought I could have chosen a different bike, but I really didn't give a rat's arse.
For commuting around Auckland and doing the weekly shopping I love my scooter (62L lockable storage under the seat + 35L lockable storage in the top box) and it's pretty good for going down to Super Liquor to buy 3 dozen bottles of booze too.

Of course it'd be nice to have a couple of other options for other than city commuting and truthfully I only make my scooter do everything because I'm just to poor to own several bikes - but it does seem to cope OK with everything I give it and I have run up over 40,000kms of riding on it.

There's also the fact that if I HAD chosen to buy a GSXR750 I wouldn't be classified as a biker anyway, more likely I'd be called a pedestrian! (I already managed to lose my license twice when I just drove a car). In some ways I'm better off on a slower vehicle, I'm still alive and I have no demerit points.

So, am I a real biker or not? Do any of you really think I give a fuck?

[Fatt Max]

You told him that you passionately love Hondas eh?

Its a Korean thing......or is that Greek.....???

[Smifffy]

The crack up is the ppl that are giving the self-important, opinionated, arrogant, arsehole yarpie (how's that for redundancy?) shit about his attitude, and then calling his boulevard a piece of shit.

Yeah. Abomination. Although I call it "grey milk".

Is that like a coffee version of that other organization you belong to - Grey Power?

Scooters are taller than cruisers and are designed or leggy gay guys/pizza delivery students/students and office bitches...:scooter:

[Shadowjack]

It's true. They have gingervitis (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ginger+kids).
Haha, LOL - So, I hadn't realised my ATTGAT rule serves a secondary purpose....

Anyway, on topic - two wheels/engine = biker. QED

[PrincessBandit]

Pink ninja pajamas are way too intimidating.
He wears them to bed as well?! And you've seen this???!!!!! :eek5:

Was going to be my other point.....:corn:

Sniff. I'm waiting till I get to be a real old lady before I cruise on down the cruiser path.

Funnily enough while Balu and I were in Raro a couple of years ago we were quite happy to hire the crappy little GN125s they had rather than scooters, which all the locals and other tourists rode. I tried hopping on a couple of the scooters and couldn't touch the ground!

Scooters are tall, but Anne had no trouble with them (height wise) ...they have a heap of space in which to store flippers/reef shoes/goggles/towel under the seat.
Na scrub the towel, the heat drys you out before you get to the next resort for that well earned beer..:scooter:

I'm not old enough to be a grey panther yet...and given some of my overtaking moves this morning, might never be...:blink:

[GrayWolf]

Well I am FAT, hopefully soon to be a member of the 'fraternity' too...

Hmmm well I ride an 1100, so I guess I am not a biker either, I dont wear leather, jeans and bad ass 'cowboy' boots? And I dont tell 250 riders they are only 'riders'..
Oh shit, I am ONLY a Motorcyclist,,,,, well bugger me!!!!:buggerd::buggerd:

[taff1954]

From an on-line dictionary....
biker –noun
1.
a person who rides a bicycle, motorcycle, or motorbike, especially in competition or as a hobby.

Anyway, biker is not a label, it's an attitude and it's a way of life.

[gijoe1313]

Actually I wear pink Miffy pajamas with some bunny eared ear muffs! :innocent:

My girl wears the pink camo ... see, you meet the nicest people on a Honda! :whistle:http://www.google.co.nz/imgres?imgurl=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w7aATNSVWG4/TO2B4qeG6mI/AAAAAAAAAhI/_AwkcOlPO10/s1600/pink%252Bpyjamas%252B-%252Bsmaller.jpg&imgrefurl=http://whitelilygreen.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-gifts-for-older-miffy-fans.html&usg=__lbEjCgFAzBMV5VwLIP3D9dkA7Mg=&h=1600&w=755&sz=59&hl=en&start=2&zoom=1&tbnid=1lwFV1hr2wFRYM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=71&ei=cOTUTajRD4KivQOukN30Cw&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmiffy%2Bpink%2Bpajamas%26hl%3Den%26sa fe%3Doff%26biw%3D1247%26bih%3D697%26gbv%3D2%26tbm% 3Disch&itbs=1

You know what they say; No Brain (or frozen brain) No Pain

[javawocky]

Does that mean you won't judge me with my S40? :woohoo: or is that a bit to much to ask

Lets see, my wife owns an S40, only rides 2 or 3 days in summer so therefor is not a biker. Thus we can deduct that because you have 650cc (rounded off Slofox:innocent:) which is < 750 and ride the same model of bike as my wife who is not a biker, you must be a non - biker - sorry, please hand in your biker membership card.

[Zamiam]

I've got more than 2 x 750cc so I'm a double biker but I ride a Harley and not in the rain so I'm a double poser but do I give a fuck No - cause while I'm fat I'm nit a ginger.

Call me whatever you want - I will get on my bike and go for a ride that's right I'm a bike rider so therefore I am a BIKER.

I blame Max, if he hadn't posted this thread I would still be a biker... or I just treat the guy he spoke to as an anal plonker...:yes:

That like a "planker"? :)

[ducatilover]

I think an anal plonker is the sport of doing a hand stand, catching a scorched almond in the jacksie, but, it is only when it "plonks", no plunks and thuds.

[jonbuoy]

You use your bike as a form of transport rain, hail & shine (to and from work etc..) you are a" biker" by definition. If you only ride in your spare time your a weekend warrior.

[caseye]

FUCK HIM FM! bloody yarpies always think they know whats right.Almost always WRONG to.
Dare ya to tell him what I'm currently riding.

[DingoZ]

I'm in Wellington today

Yeah sorry mate, fly in and fly out, the only non business conversation I had was with this SA gentleman which is the cause of this debate. Back there soon, PM me your number and we can consume a pie while we talk about rude, south-of-the-navel stuff, eh....

I'd actually call FM a 'motorcyclist' and not a 'biker'.
We all have different definitions on what a biker is though.

IMO a 'biker' is someone that rides a motorcycle to define themselves.
A 'motorcyclist' doesn't give a fuck and rides a motorcycle to enjoy the love of it no matter what form it comes in.

Interesting concept....but I wonder why does one need to define oneself....

can one not just be oneself???, who happens to find joy and happiness (i.e. jollies) whilst riding a motorcycle...the need for labels is so 1900's:shit:

I ride me bike because I like to ride it. Label is totally irrelevant.

I ride 110 cc and I'm more hardcore than 75% out there.

[Maha]

On the subject of 'labels' etc...most would abide by that everyday in one way or another...
Its a part of who are individually and defines us as creatures of habit.
Some would never own/buy anything else than a particular brand. Some would never own/buy a particular brand.
Toothpaste/coffee/cigarettes/supermarket you shop at/milk....it goes on, its human nature.
We are LABELS society.

it is true, we are very much a label society. I think it's getting way out of control, a child misbehaves, ADHD. the list goes on and on...it can't be bothered getting right into them all, I have my house to clean OCD I think that one is called.

[avgas]

I am definitely a biker then. I ride a heap of shit

Usually just called "Daily Chores". Back in the day we didn't call it anything, just did it and thought people with OCD were IHC and they were generally placed in Kingseat.

I reckon the worst thing about technological progress is far too many have too much time on their hands and instead of working too hard are coming up with all manner of things to label and grizzle about. Go and dig up a garden, plant some veggies, go for a bushwalk, climb a mountain or something... :sunny:
