What Makes A Biker Part 1.
I always thought being a biker was due to what was in ones hart and His commitment to his bike his Brothers/Sisters and his diehard commitment to live life his way. Not because he rides a Harley Davidson motorcycle and wears a leather jacket.
I thought being a biker was one who built his own bike to his own taste , Fixed his own bike, and put his bike before most everything else The same way a patch holder puts his patch and brothers before all else.
I Thought a biker was one that would ride his bike anywhere, anytime, regardless of weather and/or season and not put it on a trailer or in the back of a truck to go to a biker event.
I thought a biker was one who never needed a reason to ride. He just rode.
But the way it looks it's the bike that makes one a biker. Some wannabe goes out and buys a bike puts some chrome and ape hangers on it puts on a leather jacket and skullcap goes out and gets a tattoo and now he's a biker.
He pays some guy in a shop to work on his bike for him while he goes in and buys the latest fashions.
He wont ride if its cold or raining. He will put his bike on a trailer or in the back of a truck to go to an event that over 100 miles away and back or to the local Hooters for bike night then brags about all the riding he's done.
Well here a news flash If you fit into any of the last 5 You arn't a Biker, You are a poser A Easy rider, Wild One look at me Wannabe.
Don't call yourself a biker until you build your own bike Harley or other or at least work on the bike, ride 500 miles, sleep on the ground, fix a flat or make repairs on the road without calling AAA.
And another thing that I can't understand why people buy Harley look a likes or try to make what they have look and sound like a Harley Either buy a Harley or be proud of what you have. Believe me it's not the bike that makes you a biker.
And one more thing putting a patch on the back of a vest 1 % or other does not make you a BIKER either.
