    And we know you're a poser if...

     

    • You spit out the bug that just flew in your mouth. 
    • You spend more time shining your bike than riding it. 
    • You're too cool to wave at the kids in the mom-mobile in front of you. 
    • You grab for your hairbrush before your old lady. 
    • You take your bike into the shop for oil changes. 
    • Your $500 boots aren't scuffed from riding. 
    • You think that a kick-starter is a mocha latte. 
    • You set at least one mirror, if not both, to reflect yourself. 
    • Your saddle bags say "Gucci". 
    • You carry a lap-top in your saddle bags. 
    • Your tattoos wash off. 
    • You put your pony-tail back in the drawer after you get home. 
    • You won't ride down a gravel road. 
    • You've never seen a sunrise from two wheels. 
    • You only ride on weekends, when you can. 
    • You never ride to work. 
    • All your leathers match. 
    • There are no wrinkled, faded, creased, or scratched areas on your leathers. 
    • You don't own a rain suit. 
    • You've never ridden long enough to know that stock seats are never comfortable. 
    • You've never had to replace a worn out tire. 
    • You've had to replace your tires, but because they were too old and not too worn. 
    • You like to ride by stores with big picture windows so you can admire your reflection. 
    • You ride a Ducati. 
    • Your longest road trip this year was to Hooter's for bike night.

    Poser.. that's funny! I think it forgot to mention something about cell phones, watches and road trips!

    I have to agree with Wildbill,, leather dries pretty fast!

    I gotta a rain suit cause leather does not dry well @ 40 degrees!

    I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ONE....IF YOU BY A BIKE AT YOUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND HAVE TO HAVE IT PUT ON A TRAILER TO GET IT HOME, YOU MAY BE A POSER.

    Don't think I'm a poser but I DO NOT eat bugs. I will let them hang out in my beard though. It really freaks out waitresses
  • January 2, 2010 3:43 AM PST
    I agree with most of this but my father taught me to ride on a old Ducati and an experienced rider should be able to tell which state he is riding in by the taste of the bugs!

    Oh goody...it's like a quiz to find out how bikery we are.

    Let's see...these two are the ones that apply to me:

    • You carry a lap-top in your saddle bags. 
    • Your tattoos wash off. 


    Not really the second one. I just have to include it cuz I don't have any permanent ink...I do have tattoo sleeves though!

    And the first one...well, OF COURSE my laptop is in my saddle bag, cuz that is how I make this one UNtrue:
    • You never ride to work.
    I ride to and from work almost every day...and my computer has to come with me!

    Have you ever attended one of those "dealer" bike nites? I stopped in one nite, cause I needed a clutch cable.
    You wanna see a truck-load of posers...go. Just once.
    Then, stand around and listen to the B.S. I wish I could've recorded some of those conversations. I tell ya, I was laughing so hard, I could barely ride home...

    Ohhh, That's when you find guys looking at some rat-bike which you know is still running because the owner knows how to wrench, and say, "That looks to be a pre-evo motor." LOLOLOLOL

    I'm sorry........
    but I "do attempt" to spit out any bugs that didn't make it past my tongue on entry !
