And the only reason real bikers don't ride on those bad weather days, is even before the snow starts falling, they pre-treat the roads with a salty brine which leaves a residue on the underside of the bike, and that is a BITCH to clean off when it's 34° out! LOL

Sure, you can say real bikers are too busy riding to clean their bike...but I am sure even the "real" ones don't want their investment rusting out from under them!

There seems to be a real identity crisis going on amongst this site.....

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot....Over!

real bikers clean their bikes ? I cleaned sexy yellow ONCE , does that count

I ain't no for real biker... but I am one heck'va stud ;-))

( extra credit if you can identify the movie quote I just butchered )

LOL @ scott

Good post IceyBeer ;)
we have trampled this topic into a meaningless jumble of over active imaginations,fantasizing abt a chrome warrior(warriorette) who epitomizes the essence of a person who IMHO is any person from 6 to 92 who loves riding motorcycles,from the kid who rails down my street on his 3hp Bultaco or the guy on his shiny old shovelhead kept like a family jewel,they all qualify as bikers for me,its the love inside that makes all the ryders "BIKERS" nuff said
stay safe n enjoy the ride all !!!

JOE No sir, I'm no cowboy really, but I'm a first class stud.
Midnight cowboy

lmao... real bikers

I'm just a Preacher / Biker / Marine Vet.
No "street cred" for me. :-)

Rev...I first heard the term "street cred" from a Biker / Marine vet.

I always love the biker / REAL biker threads. They are always an endless source of entertainment and amusement.

Amen Ice Bear I live in north west ILL. This year I road up to the first snow fall I use to ride even in the snow when I was younger but ...... Now that I'm disabled my body won't let me any more and to every one keep the rubber side down

 True freedom is not owning a battery tender 

I commend you on stopping just short of TMI. LOL






I am thinking bikerness needs to be graded like an Iowa Basic Skills test: you are in the 98 percentile for wrenching, but the 70 percentile for riding


Until we have universally accepted standardized testing for official bikerdom status, there are plenty of fun online quizzes people can take to do a self evaluation. They are very helpful for the posers to find the areas in which they need to improve.

http://www.dixiedrifter.com/abiker.html includes such true/false questions as, "Confusing the terms "VIN" and "SSN", you try to write your bike off as a dependent on your taxes."


http://quizfarm.com/quizzes/new/cook1e/what-kind-of-biker-are-you/ is a good quiz if you can't figure out if you are the american made cruiser type or the rice burnin sportbike type of motorcycle enthusiast


http://vulcan.wolfcrews.com/misc/yuppie.htm is a thoroughly researched compilation of all the mistakes posers make in their efforts to fit in amongst bikers and should be required reading (of what NOT to do) for anyone who's life ambition it is to be referred to as a biker.


http://www.gotoquiz.com/are_you_an_old_school_biker is probably the closest thing we currently have to standardized testing of how bikery someone has become since they first threw a leg over to rounds of rubber.


Of course...there is always the old adage that if you CARE about whether or not someone considers you to be a REAL BIKER enough to do anything to influence what people think about you, then, you aren't one. Or to put simply, if you gotta ask, you ain't.



But the quizzes are still good for a few LOLz.

Like Potter Stewart said about hard-core porn: it may be hard to define, but you know it when you see it.  Same thing about "real bikers", I figure.  Now, if somebody could just explain to me why we need to decide who the "real bikers" are in the first place...

So the posers will know whe they are trying to emulate.

but....you didn't see me

LOL
