BIKER or BIKIE by definition!

What cage should I buy?
I'm looking at buying a cage that can carry 2 dirt bikes, but I'm not sure if I should buy a van or a ute. I don't have any room on my property to store a trailer. I'm looking at spending $2000 the the very most, so what should I buy? I know I can't expect much for that price.

Don't seem to fit the profile of a "Real biker"

So I should ride a dirt bike that is not road legal on busy public roads?

I'm personally not so self-conscious that I would need the assertion of labelling myself to any particular breed of motorcycling appellation, or to go so far as to make up my own, just to satisfy my individuality and "badboy" status.

In summary, OP is a fag.

Sounds about right.

This is the second one, and yes its a bit of salt in the wound....... It is largely based on the historical fact that bikers were birthed out of the era of the 1940's towards the end of the war with the formation of the "Motorcycle Gangs" Bikers were all lumped in the same stereo type, as if you looked like a biker, smelt like a biker, then one must be a biker.
Bikie, per name sake is of european origin, a more cultured name with a similar stereo type but more depictive of racers than Biker Gang origin.
If you called a biker a bikie, one would have received a fist full of knuckles to the chin, cheek or face more than likely. Any line of association was vigorously rebuked.
Doesn't worry me personally, but just stating the obvious really lol....... If one wants to be a biker, just conform, or vicer versa.

Way back when ... "Bikie" was the media term in Godzone for the patched club members ... the rest of us prefered the term "Biker" as it seemed more about ridig bikes ... but who gives a shit ...

You wouldn't have a fucking clue.

Just when I think you might not be so bad after all, you prove yourself to be a complete arsehole ... do you have to work at it or does it just come naturally ?

Bikie is a term used in NZ and OZ to describe motorcycle-riding gang members.
Biker is an American term to describe someone who rides a motorcycle.
Simple.

I'm not one for labels, but motorcyclist would be the closest for me.
Some people ride bikes to 'define themselves'...sad really

hmmm, they are good but I prefer squigles, which is also a label for one who rides motorcycles
