Are you a REAL biker?

**Oscar** · 29th January 2009, 11:33

I ride a motorcycle because I likes it.

Whereas it's the thing I like to do the most, and one of the things I'm best at - it doesn't define me (I loathe being described as "Biker").

So, no - I'm not a real biker.

I've decided I'm not a real biker.

I'm not tough
I bathe regularly
I'm a romantic at heart
I don't have any tattoos
I like fine food and wine
I cry
I don't like the sight of blood, expecially mine
I prefer to run than fight
I'm not the fastest person on the road
I don't have any demerit points
I've never been to prison

It's hilarious that a group of, supposedly, vehement non-conformists are so bloody concern with applying labels on what they are and are not!

So a biker is someone who puts an effort into costume parties, I see...

In that case I am a biker, I spent $19 on a straw hat for a 30th birthday with a garden party theme this saturday.

Same, except I won't admit to crying, I have 20 demerit points (got them in the car, so might be irrelevant) and I'd rather walk than run. Does that make me borderline in your opinion or am I still in the clear?

i refuse to be pigeonholed..

i ride a bike.. i dont commute on it and i dont "tour" on it..i can maintain, modify and upgrade my bikes by myself and i know the model history on each of the bikes i own or have owned (since 1973 with a Briggs and Stratton - powered homebuilt minibike)

i ride my own pace and if i get left behind on a curve, its not gonna make my dick any smaller, same as being the first wont enlarge it..

i have ridden Rt66, the Tail of the Dragon, the Blue Ridge Parkway and across the US in all 4 directions and seen 48 US States, parts of Canada and Mexico and the better part of the North Island of NZ from behind the handlebars..

i live by a set of rules, that while well within the norm of "pleasant society" are undeniably mine and have alot to do with "situational ethics"

i am covered in tattoos and facial hair and have a tendency for leather jackets, jeans and combat boots and i enjoy a cold beer a cigar and a glass of 12 year old single malt Liquid Smoke..

does that make me a Biker?..

does having a university education make you smart?..does having kids make you a Dad?..

8 out of 11 opposite.

I would consider having the word 'Biker' tattooed on my body.

Call.

the fact that you started this thread is evidence that you are not a biker.

There's an adage in the Advertising world that says you know your product has made it when people have the logo tattooed on their body (my brother has a "Triumph" tattoo, for example).

I was in the supermarket earlier, and I saw a guy with "KTM" tattooed on his shoulder. Strange.
