What makes a real biker?

[DutchMick]

Here are some opinions....

someone who rides there bike everyday rain or shine?

Does not own a car

someone who has ridden for 10+ years

Will hopefully survive to ride 20+ years

someone who rides a hog

Needs to try a real bike

someone who has a sports bike for summer use and weekends

Has a way to relieve stress

someone who knows all the mechanical sh*t about bikes

Is VERY good to have as a neighbour

someone with more than 1 bike

Has more money than me

none of the above

Yep, thats about it, being a biker is an emotional attachment to all things bike-ish. Someone whos bike is knackered and starts crying like a baby when its great weather and his mates ring him up asking if he fancies a ride out,

I think being a 'biker' is 100 different things to 100 different people.

But good question tho

Oooh it's a tricky one that isn't it ....

Biking is more than the sum of it's parts ...

I like the stink of engines and new helmets ..

I like leathers

I like the cameraderie ...

I like grrrls in leathers

I like not being another borring motorist when you pull up to get some petrol...

I like not getting stuck in jams ...

Maybe you could say it's a shared affinity

There is no such thing as a ,"proper", biker.
