Interesting "code" or credo. Well said overall. Can't expect to agree with everything in six paragraphs and yes, it's all in the interpretation. I would not expect most to agree with everything. Here are my tweaks:
I ride for many reasons. fun, a sense of freedom, therapy, adventure... and sometimes it's more practicable, esp. in traffic when I want to get somewhere.
For those who do not
wish to know me, ignore me. Another reason I ride is that so often, people want to talk to me.
I would love to hear JR chime in about "aggression." I ignore it unless I absolutely cannot. BTW, nothing frustrates someone more than a smile and wave when they are mad at you.

I do not follow any tradition blindly. I must agree with it first.
Anyone who rides is a biker. And we are all part time. Some just have more experience.
Just my $.02.
