If KB had a test to see if you were worthy, what would be in it?

**RantyDave** · 24th November 2007, 20:58

Awesome thread and I hope it goes well, although I do feel slightly conned in that the title said "worthy" and the actual poll was "of being in KB" which are clearly very different things.

In fact, if I were not so utterly desperate to get some vital single malt drinking time in, I would be off trying to find a Web 2.0 Carlos Fandango "make yourself a purity test" engine somewhere so we might be able to test worthiness properly rather than in this entirely binary fashion. To that end, may I suggest a feats/points system along the lines of:

* Eat a steak. 5pts
* Kill the cow yourself. 10pts
* With bare hands. 20pts

With some negative marks for...

* Running off to a mod after receiving red rep. -5pts
* Starting a "I'm leaving KB and throwing my toys out of the cot" thread. -30 pts
* And coming back again. -50pts

And in terms of general areas of achievement I think the essential food groups of eating steak, drinking beer, making a tit of yourself and hardening the fuck up need to be represented. As do bike specific achievements such as mentoring a newbie, taking on some description of community task (organising UncleB's seat, the sprints, a track day etc), racing, commuting every damn day for at least a year, fixing up a dunger or particularly wanton acts of bike destruction also need adequate recognition.

Awesome idea for a thread. May she upset all who sail in her.

I'm quite disappointed. There's no questions about tattoos. After all REAL bikers have tats don't they?

Oh and eat quiche.

do my tattoos make me a REAL biker.....does the fact I have a growing beer pot make me a REAL biker...does my High Cholesteral count from too many steaks make me a REAL biker...NO to all of them....The thing that makes me a REAL biker is where my head is at, that is the love of riding....(just hope I can get my REAL bike on the road soon)....

...(even if it is a 250)

I think the common denominator of most KBers is the love
of the humble pie.

So tell me, what is your criteria for a biker, let alone a tough one...

I dont know what makes a biker. Last night we got some pretty disapproving looks when we entered the cafe/pub midway through a ride. There was a pilot, a vet, a builder, computer programmer, technicans and labourers in the group. I dont think they saw past the helmets and leathers to be honest.

**cowboyz** · 24th November 2007, 22:00

oh yeah, I put my vote to make the site open for all. Sometimes the idea of being a biker is better than the reality of biking. Alot ofinfo on here for soon-to-be newbie riders

I think the hairy ginger in the faded leather jacket may have had him worried.

For the single chicks: how many bikers do you plan on shagging to gain the title and highest ranking..around the gossip table?.

**Dave-** · 24th November 2007, 22:38

needs to be a psyche test, you can just lie if its a multi answer

"do you like bikes?"

1. yes
2. a bit
3. FUCK OFF!
4. no

this question will only filter 3% of people in the world...
