What makes you a biker?
« on: January 10, 2009, 12:26:17 PM »
Just finished going through the new edition of TP and was reading a letter where a guy ripped into another about not being a real biker.The guy was clearly pissed. It was in response to the question of waving at other bikes(I am not wanting to start a discussion on waving) I had to giggle when I finished the article but it made me start wondering.
This is not new as I have seen lots of discussion about it over the years but it seems that in the last couple of years it is a huge issue, more so in the last couple of years where TV has brought biking into the mainstream(for better or worse).
I got my first bike when I was 14. That is over 30 years ago :-\ and I am not sure that qualifies me to judge if you are a biker or not.

God I must be bored.   :stars:

Exactly my point-- I just don't know why some get so worked up over it.

   :devil:

I've kinda wondered about this "Real Biker" thing through the years (mostly when I had absolutely nothing else to think about  :D )

Anyway, I started riding on the back of bikes about the time I started walking.  I had my first motorcycle when I was about 6 or 7 years old.  Been riding on the street (legally) for 34 years. I have built motorcycles from junk parts.  I have owned as many as five motorcycles at one time.  I have all the accessories that bikers have (leather and such).  Through the years, I have probably ridden close to a half-million miles.  Still don't think I have made it to the "Real Biker" status  :D , and ain't really aiming for it either.

I'm just a guy with a motorcycle and I love to ride.  I love to ride all by myself - I love to ride leaning back against my BSR - and I love to ride my bike down the road surrounded by dozens of friends that have a similar passion for riding.

Not sure what all this makes me, but it's what I am.

To be a biker....You must first own a bike. I wasn't a biker until I bought my first one.  :confused5:
