    For one... if they have KB sticker, patch, or shirt... definitely do not wave or acknowledge in any way.

    Dont agree with that..
    Perception right or therwise is... Biker... Gang type rider, wears 'the' leathers, Hardly Rideitson, jerry helmet, has the 'look' etc etc...

    I wear Cordura mostly because it dries out easier, some of my gear does have leather patches on high abrasion area's. I dont own a car, period. and I am NOT a 'biker' I am a motorcyclist.. I ride a Motorcycle not a 'bike'
    If the road to hell is paved with good intentions; and a man is judged by his deeds and his actions, why say it's the thought that counts? -GrayWolf

    There must be many rules to this whole waving thingee...I've been wearing hiviz for a year or two...and it seems many weekend riders don't agree with the hiviz look and thus don't wave...

    Gotta agree there, no KB member rides, so we won't be waving at anything

    The making of a motorcyclist is brand dependant. A Honda riding motorcyclist is made by mating a hairdresser with a fashion designer.
    A Harley rider is forged on the anvils of anarchy and a Moto Guzzi riding motocyclist is a byproduct of a failed engineering experiment.
    I have been told not to mention the Germans and Triumph riders are arguable at best.
    The making of the Suzuki riding motorcyclist has already been described in the first book of the bible and these motorcyclists are direct decendants of God,whom we all know rode a Sunbeam.
    I appologise to any motorcyclist I have neglected to insult,the brand you ride is to insignificant to mention and you should probably log off now and return to your cousins bed.

    Biker = a rider of a motorcycle, i.e., one who participates in motorcycling
    bikie = a member of an outlaw motorcycle club

    You are completely wrong... Triumph are the bikes of God, as quoted in the bible...... "The sound of his Triumph resounded through the land" .... cant ever remember sooki, HD, or nonda being mentioned, I'll give you that God likely rode a Sunbeam though!

    "For I did not speak of my own accord"

    Even Jesus was embarrassed to have a Honda

    So someone who drives a Commodore is a 'Communist'?

    And rides a scooter a 'scooterist'?

    It was David who rode the Triumph with no mufflers. Jesus rode a Mule, a quad built by Suzuki!
