Not allowed to be a biker...

**Fatt Max** · 18th May 2011, 18:25

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....???

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?

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

**riffer** · 18th May 2011, 18:41

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

**Voltaire** · 18th May 2011, 18:44

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

**Geeen** · 18th May 2011, 18:47

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** · 18th May 2011, 18:50

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......
