View Full Version : If KB had a test to see if you were worthy, what would be in it?

If KB wanted to have only "real bikers" here, what would be the criteria to get in?
A set of yes/no questions to tick perhaps (as nobody would be bothered to read long answers) If so, what would you have as questions???
Here what I recon could be in there:
- Do you consider your self a biker?
- Do you ride in the rain?
- Did your ex request that you sold your bike? (If you answered NO here, jump the next question)
- As you rode down the road from his/her place did you get a feeling of relief?
- Would you rather die on a bike then live to 80?
- Are most of your mates bikers?
- If you are a parent, does your kids ride bikes?
- Did you in the last 12 months buy a wreck planning to make the most awsome bike outta it?
- When you get a pay rise is the first thing you think about that now you can afford that dream bike?
- Do you find that people who pack a pyjamas are not really on your level?
- Have you ever stood up for one of your mates before you even knew what it was about?
- Is adrenalin the drug of your choice?
Could go on. But if you scored less then 10 "YES" here then I am not sure if you are there yet... (OK, if you have no kids and the ex question was not relevant, then I let you off with 8 YES)
Any more ideas??

This real biker tag makes me laugh. The idea that some have that riding a motorcycle and posting tough shit on the internet makes you a tough biker is laughable.
Most people who think they are tough bikers on here would probably shit their pants if they ever met a real biker.
Worthy? :killingme

U got it the wrong way around. Posting on the internet does not make you anything apart from a nerd with too much time on his/her hands.
So tell me, what is your criteria for a biker, let alone a tough one...

I think that you are supposed to whip the horse...But that would be animal cruelty and give you 27 years to life.

1. Will you crap on and on about another members inherent failings? Y/N
2. Will you give unqualified advice on every subject despite being a bikeless sociapath? Y/N
3.Are you unable to laugh at your self or take any form of criticism? Y/N
If you answer yes to even one of these questions you are out!:Police:

Awesome thread and I hope it goes well, although I do feel slightly conned in that the title said "worthy" and the actual poll was "of being in KB" which are clearly very different things.
In fact, if I were not so utterly desperate to get some vital single malt drinking time in, I would be off trying to find a Web 2.0 Carlos Fandango "make yourself a purity test" engine somewhere so we might be able to test worthiness properly rather than in this entirely binary fashion. To that end, may I suggest a feats/points system along the lines of:
* Eat a steak. 5pts
* Kill the cow yourself. 10pts
* With bare hands. 20pts
With some negative marks for...
* Running off to a mod after receiving red rep. -5pts
* Starting a "I'm leaving KB and throwing my toys out of the cot" thread. -30 pts
* And coming back again. -50pts
And in terms of general areas of achievement I think the essential food groups of eating steak, drinking beer, making a tit of yourself and hardening the fuck up need to be represented. As do bike specific achievements such as mentoring a newbie, taking on some description of community task (organising UncleB's seat, the sprints, a track day etc), racing, commuting every damn day for at least a year, fixing up a dunger or particularly wanton acts of bike destruction also need adequate recognition.
Awesome idea for a thread. May she upset all who sail in her.

I dont know what makes a biker. Last night we got some pretty disapproving looks when we entered the cafe/pub midway through a ride. There was a pilot, a vet, a builder, computer programmer, technicans and labourers in the group. I dont think they saw past the helmets and leathers to be honest.

24th November 2007, 22:00
oh yeah, I put my vote to make the site open for all. Sometimes the idea of being a biker is better than the reality of biking. Alot ofinfo on here for soon-to-be newbie riders

I've got a rather stylish bin-liner with arm and head holes as my wet weather top and apart from getting wet arms it works very well.
Even has a drawstring at the waist :D
Matches my bread-bag wet weather socks too.

The main reason I always piss myself when I hear "us bikers" here on KB is the movie Wild Hogs.
I have always classed the bikers they meet as "bikers" and can imagine the guys in the movie as many here on KB myself included....:lol:

suitable test for KB - does your head swivel like an owl to follow ANY bike going past, noting make, rider, attire, sound . . .
Then you are a biker or one in the making.
Or a cop. One or t'other.
