Posers

[scumdog]

Hmm, after my thought process being enhanced by a copious application of Bundaberg rum I thought I'd bring up this observation from the H.O.G. rally last weekend.
One of my first thoughts on arriving said rally (my first HOG rally) was " shit there is a lot of new looking jackets, bikes, skin art and studded belts etc around here, what a load of wannabes and posers"
Then I realised that however 'poser' type they seemed to be their heart was in the right place - they could have been doing some other more profitable and 'politically correct' hobby but they chose this, their love (?) of all things H-D related.
Never heard 'other brands' being denigrated, never saw a fight or serious argument and met a shit load of friendly types ( even if they spoke 'proper') and some were no doubt earning 10 times or more of my income - and nobody said 'just a Sportster eh'

800+ bikes went on a 30km+ Thunder Ride, nobody was behaving like a dick, nobody fell off and the public were out big-time to wave and cheer.

Time for another Bundy.

Is this going to be another recipe exchange thread ?

You mean all you lot are more concerned with FOOD than Harley posers?
Ah well, all must be well with the motorcycle world - and no wonder there are so many fat bastards riding bikes these days.

Don't worry SD.
I still think they're plonkers.
Instead of wasting their money on Harley brand underwear and nailclippers, why not sponsor a child in Somalia or build a penguin breeding box?

I on the other hand have no spare money cos it's all going into that f*cking useless piece of shit parked under my bedroom that still refuses to go!!!!!!!!!!
Better now.

You mean it is possible to buy H-D brand Y-fronts AND nailclippers??

Well shove me on a Harely and call me Dennis!! And here am I wasting my money on Screaming Eagle gizmos and other such friperies!

Good Observation Scumdog. I always think the same thing as well but then get talking and drinking and make new friends. I have come to the conclusion that "we're all on bikes so what does it matter if some of us have been doing it longer and harder!" Bet ya had a great time!

But the question on everybodies mind is what was the tassle/non-tassle ratio??

About 14.85% had tassles (give or take about .003 percent margin of error)

Sounds like a good meeting/run to me. There are posers either side of the sport/cruiser fence and it's always good to meet what I deem as "real riders"...non judgemental on your ride and capiblities.
