Stan, am I a biker?

** grin **

You betcha' Traccie. You ride, and you respect others, and in turn you are respected.

I must be an inorant outlander but why would the organizers of an event like Sturgis ever get an identity like Pee Wee Herman to be there? Weird. To an outsider it just doesn't seem to stack up but somebody must have thought so ... now Mr Dylan ... that's a different matter,,, hopefully red carpet treatmewnt whereever he appeared....with sustained loud clapping and shouting. I write this while listening to Janis J....

I myself would'nt walk across the street to see Bob Dylan Or Pervert PeeWee Herman. Having said that, i'm sure there are a lot of people that would and that's there right. I just feel sorry for the guys that rode all those thousands of miles and listened to they're buddy whine ! If I wanted to hear all that bitching I would have stay married to X !

Wow, lots of different opinions here, which is great. So now I'll throw mine in...

With an event the size of Sturgis, who cares what individual entertainers are there or how one specific place has set their rules, there is something there for EVERYONE. I believe I read somewhere there are 7 million motorcycles in the United States, so I hope I am not shocking anyone when I say that not everyone of them will dress the same, like the same music or entertainment, the same type of bar, or even have the same attitude...but I can say that almost every one of them loves owning and riding a motorcycle. So here is a trick I learned for when I go to a rally and someone I don't like is playing...I don't watch them. And if there is a bar or other business that I don't like for whatever reason... I go elsewhere. Who am I to bitch at them for deciding how they want to run their business?

I am just getting so tired of hearing all these qualifications are to call yourself a biker anymore. And the funny thing about it is the ones who are running around saying Live Free, Ride Free, are usually the ones saying "but don't call yourself a biker unless you believe everything I do, dress just like me, and like the same stuff I do".

  Lets all just ride and stop worrying about the next guys "qualifications" to become a biker. Who cares anyway really? Ride safe everyone and don't forget to stop in and have a cold one if you get out to So. California Wheels

WOW !!!...LOL..what a load of &*^%^..just read a similiar post from a rapper who was decrying the "pussification & blatant commercial rip offs of todays rap crowd..LOL..what goes around comes around I guess?..this puts me in the mind for a new topic ;)..

the poster had some valid concerns,yet he ruins the intent by injecting statements that are incendiary,
I could care less who the heck is appearing where,or what silly ass celebrioty they roll out for the sheeples,its a freaking rally!!! Git your ass's out n ride make some new friends, share a few cold ones,then git out n ride some more..:) the last rally I went to was fairly tame,too many police & not enough wimins..!
