Are you a REAL biker?

[Jackrat]

What are you on?!

Being a real anything doesnt mean you dedicate your entire life to it. By the looks of it, I'm a "real" biker - I ride 7 days a week, no other transport, do all my own maintenance, and enjoy all aspects of biking, including riding in the rain, and the maintenance.
I also play soccer, bridge and fencing, used to cycle regularly, work two jobs at about 30 hours a week, and study full time.
That is a hell of a lot of dimensions that dont revolve around bikes.....

Not on anything,particuarly not on an ego trip,which is all this REAL crap is about.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

I dunno about all this Real malarky, but i was up at 7 this morning for a blast to Akaora.. yup - my first blast for about 10 years. What a road! (apart from 40-50 sheep that decided to see if they cold graze tarmac, and the nice lady out walking her pet lawnmower half way up the hill). What a bike! Shame about the rider but i managed to get at least 1 one corner right i think.. farken A!!

If riding gives me the feeling i have right now but i'm not 'Real' i coudln't give a rats rear... i'd go back right now except the partner threatened abstinence if i didn't manicure (petticure???) the lawns around the 'east' wing this arvo. Maybe if i was a real biker i'd go anyway....

I'm a real biker, don't need anybody to tell me that.

Sure I don't put in the miles like some or ride balls out or have a raggedy old bike I have had for eternity or spend every last dollar on my scoot but where is the rule book that says that is what it takes to be a 'real' biker? :spudwhat:

I like that when I'm riding it, I'm RIDING, not thinking about work, home, sex, or anything else, just The Ride, just the next corner, whether I should pop a wheelie or overtake that car. My commute is usually not "travelling to work", it's Riding The Bike, as it's about the journey, not the destination.

I like the fact that when I'm riding, I stop thinking. Total Bliss.

Was that over your head or do I have a warped sense of humour ?

Everyone is talking about realness, and I was quoting Ali G, who at times is REAL funny.

And back on the subject of REAL.
Just got back from a ride up the heads.Stopped on the way for gas,Norton and Trident coming out of the gas station as I'm going in,give em' a nod,Nothing,well I know both those two posers,work at the mill,both drive jap cars but hate jap bikes.But REAL bikers both of em'.A lady on a black Triumph
legend did stop for a chat,but she's not a REAL biker cause she's a girl right
Get up to Grahams beach,stop for a smoke an two guys one on a pale yellow Suzuki GS1000,the other on a Lawson rep' Kawasaki pull in just up the beach from me.I wasn't in the lest bit suprised when they turned around an rode away both looking the other way.Couple of REAL bikers there,Real unfriendly that is..
Ah well got home,had a REAL good ride,finaly admited to myself my clutch is REAL stuffed an I'll be ordering new plates from the USA sometime soon.
That's another thing too ain't it??I can get a full set of clutch plates for a Jap bike from the USA cheap as in 2-3 weeks but I can't get them from Japan
for any amount of money inside 3-6 months.
So there ya' go aye,the only one of five other bikers I came across that would even aknowlage me was a lady on a Triumph Legend and a lot of REAL bikers wouldn't give her the time of day either,So bugger REAL bikers,you meet nicer people that ain't.

When Neale on 'The Young Ones' said that word it sounded like 'boomshanka', does it mean the same thing? ' :spudwhat: 'Oh wow, heavy man, take it easy guys, I was the one that got it together and soaked the lentils'

[Motu]

Seeing as we are all getting upset about what a ''real'' biker is....how bout we try to find out what makes an ''unreal'' biker???
