    say what you want but there are all types of riders out there.

    and i'd say alot of them are posers, i know quite a few. - heaps of talk about [thier] bikes but when it comes down to actually going for a ride they are no where to be seen.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    IMO it's only posing if you can't ride the thing properly.......you know 2-3 cm chickky strips. Only take it out on hot sunny days straight-lining to a cafe......

    like the homo hog riders in Taupo who fill the bike parks up and glare at anyone else parking there ruining their image.....
    Because the 'outsiders' bike gear is worn and the bike is all dirty from actual use! (real bikers of-course only wear branded bike gear matching their bike and ride un-used cruisers )

    Talking from personal experience........ I seen it meself! (being said wannabe biker lol )

    Then it's definitely a dick extension.

    Yes, someone with a 1000cc sport bike doing the same is just as bad!

    The question of greater importance is, who really gives a fuck what this guy thinks of bikers?

    Why is the poll not multi-guess, for those of us who can't make up our mind, or just want to tick the non-existent, "All of the above - it's just one big wank-fest" option?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Funny, I was having a discussion with a lady last night about this exact thing. I like being anonymous on the bike, so I ride wearing tinted visor etc. Cars, same thing, the darkest tints that I can find.

    My point is, I'm riding a 1000cc's of happy times trying to avoid the attention of the cops and anyone who would ring my missus to tell her I'm riding like a cock; I don't need to ride around posing on it - if I wanted to pose, I'd be like the guy in the office next door who has a Lambo convertible. Now, that's posing.

    On the other hand, all those tossers riding Harley's wearing all the matching Harley kit, while working a job as an accountant by day. Poseurs and tossers, the lot of them.*

    *Shit stirring is fun...!
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    He obviously didnt get bit hard enough by the riding bug I guess. If he really wanted a bike he'd have one. "HTFU - you dont need her say so"

    As in all walks of life, there are more than a few. It usually doesn't take too long to sort them out...

    Do'nt mistake pride with vanity!

    There's nothing wrong with being proud of your bike or liking the look of it.

    A surfer with the best gear who actually goes out and surfs all day is'nt a poser......the guy with a cheap ass set up strolling up and down the beach is!

    Of-course, same with your house, car, testicles......

    Being proud/happy with what you have is'nt posing.
