Oh .. I dunno .. there might not be someone prepared to rerfute .. that's projecting too far into the future .. I'm sure there's topics that we would all agree on ..

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'

Yeah .. Yeah .. and people like you are why I never call myself a "motorcyclist" ...

Even Jesus was embarrassed to have a Honda

Probably clashed with his dress. I heard heard he gave a couple of Goldwings away to the Angels for the same reason!

And Phil Collins was there at the beginning.

I bet he had fabulous dress sense, being a Honda owner.
He was a bit cross at the end though

Has no-one else picked up on this? The Mule was/is made by Kawasaki.

After crashing my bike a number of years ago I haven't really ridden since. However if the conversation comes up I still call myself a motorcyclist.
So I'm curious to know what you guys think defines a true motorcyclist?

I did not know I was a motorcylist when I got a bike, a license or gear.
I did not know I was a motorcyclist at the first crash, or the third.
Not when I quit.

When I new I was a motorcyclist was when I knew I would not be the same ever again.
