Are bikers a bunch of posers?

**Fatt Max** · 18th September 2009, 06:52

I have the misfortune to work with a self opinionated, arrogant twat who believes he is an authority in everything.

Ever since I started biking to work, just over a year ago, this bellend has made all sorts of narky comments about bikes and bikers. Turns out he used to ride a bike but his missus wont let buy one, so there is a bit of resentment there I suppose.

Anyway, he went off on one of his little rants yesterday and kept making the point that ‘All Bikers Are Posers’, and highlighting the categories listed above.

Now, two things sprung to mind while he was twatting on. The first (and most usual) is how I wished I had a cattle prod handy, but the second one was to wonder if the KB community had any views on this. I see lots of posts about who’s the coolest and who’s not, playful banter I know, but hey….

I realise that I should not give this bloke the time of day, especially as he drives a crap saloon car (which is grey by the way)

So, I put it to the vote. What do you think guys n gals, are we a bunch of posers and who are the worst?

These are his categories peeps (apart from the last one, 99% of the population would like this)

I'm a poser, but only when not riding my motorcycle.

I would say most of the people on here are jokers (sense of humour) who like a bit of adventure, freedom and excitement - hence riding. We've opened our eyes to see the journey not as a chore (as you do in a cage) but as something to enjoy.

Out of interest, what does this dude do for his kicks? My guess is he still lives with mummy and takes the bus to work.

Nope, lives with an ogre of a missus who dont let him fart without signing off an official request.

What did this guy used to ride????

I ride a sports bike only because I'm too much of a poofter to ride a cruiser. My face is too pretty to get into fights all the time. I swear those guys would start pulling on my long-flowing hair too. They're so mean.

Guilty as charged. I struggle to see how someone who rides a flash sportsbike or cruiser is not a poser in some sense of the word. However I do use my bike as my primary mode of transport and I ride to work, even though it may be 6 in the morning, the wind howling and rain lashing down. That is not posing.

we are all posers in one way or other,we all like it when we receive a complement about our bikes. some of us go out of the way to bring attention to ourselves, some keep a low profile,human nature.

**hospitalfood** · 18th September 2009, 07:50

yep im a poser, but at least iv'e got a bike

**wbks** · 18th September 2009, 07:52

Deck the twat. But if any one group is full of posers, it's got to be *some* cruiser riders (usually on harleys) that wear everything harley branded from undies to jacket, and feel the need to tell everyone about how crappy "jappers" are, or how anyone that rides anything else is a poofter.

He has a small penis or an erectile problem or even premature ejacualtion, most definitely is emascualted by his missus.

You should loudly confront him on the above in front of work colleagues and call him 'tiny willy' over and over again and tell him to get a life

.

...tiny willy...tiny willy...tiny willy...tiny willy...

Alternatively you might just feel a bit of compassion and not say anything...yeah right!

Personally, I wouldn't give this person the time to waffle on at length with such diatribe. He obviously feels the need to judge and put down others to justify his sad existence of a life. He needs to get some gonads and start living life, like the bikers he's obviously envious of..
