I have a bike, I love to ride,I genuinely care about the brothers and sisters who ride And who don't, I don't have an attitude but won't put up with one either, I know how to hold a wrench but am smart enough to ask for help when I need it. Does that make me a biker? I don't care. It makes me me.
I've been riding since long before Harley became a clothing store, and I plan to continue to ride when and where I want..doe's that count???
Kickin over my oil pukin pan at 23 or hittin the starter on the fxr at 53 just seems like a part of me, kinn'a like eatin or breathin
After spending most of my adult life in service to my community in one way or another, and having done something with my life to better the lives of others, and having given something to society and not just taken from it,(and having the very real scars to prove it) I don't have to justify who I am or what kind of heart I have to anyone. Am I a true biker? I could give a crap about anyone's opinions on that.
This guy dares the readers here to prove they are? Dude, what are you expecting? A whole bunch of replies trying to prove that one is in fact a true biker? That would be posturing and posing, wouldn't it? You are a funny guy!
But seriously, as for my heart, umm....I don't think I have one anymore. Just this little blackened cherry pit thing lodged somewhere above the xyphoid process and behind the sternum.
when i 1st read your post--my response would have been different
my very 1st rememberence of bikes were when i was in the 5th or 6th grade--grew up in jersey city and it was of a biker flying over the car that was stopped in front of him into the rear end of a bus head 1st--DOA
at 19 when a good family friend opened a bike showroom i was always on the back and have been whenever i could since
go for my riding class 4/15-17 so i don't have to depend on anyone else if i want to go--i can
remember this is also a dating/meeting site and some of us have not been single since the 60's, 70's or 80's and single life has changed
all said is for the knowledge and fun and to pass cabin fever being BLACK ICE isn't a fun thing to go down on
"Put simply, a biker is who & what you are, not the bike, your penis length, or the size of your breasts, it's where you stand in this world, if you can lose every frigging thing you own, all your toys, your house, your job, your money... BUT, retain your pride, your integrity, your honor & still value your relationships & honest dealings with your brothers & sisters while NEVER selling out."
This is the part I agree with... OK so he thinks he has this and more over the rest of us.
The fact that he thinks that we shouldn't have anything more to talk about then bikes or whatever it is he deams is worthy of a brother or sister, is of course ludicrous...We all know better then to beleive that all he and his buddies talk about is how rightous and upstanding they are... let's face it: locker room talk is a large part of everybodies daily routine when getting togather for a few rounds of BS.
I laughed when I read the "I dare ya!" part... it reminded me of when I was in school... and some kid dared me to punch his lights out... so I kicked him in the balls and watched him roll about in agnoy... I didnt even know that was a good place to disable an ass but it sure did enlighten me... but to get back to everything else... I agree only to the statement posted above... guess I should have said more about it at the time... just didn't think I needed to. As I have posted my thoughts on just about every subject in this forum... and those of you who have read my stuff should already know this about me.
After 817 miles this weekend in the Texas Hill Country, I know my tail and neck feel like I am a biker.
I can kind of relate to what is being said. I am at a place in life where I could afford an American Made Motorcycle, but I still live in a mobile home. haha!
And I know as I am getting myself involved in lots of events and different riding groups it is easy to see the guys that won't pull their bike out if it is raining - which is ok too.
As long as we are riding and everyone is buying their own beer then I can pretty much hang with anybody on a nice afternoon.
Last week, I was at the car wash knocking some mud off my bike and I slipped and did a "slow-motion" drop gently down to the ground. There was a guy in a car behind me who just sit there and watched me struggling to get my footing and get the bike back up.
I don't think he was a biker who just happened to be in his ?cage,? because I know had I been in my truck and watched someone like me I would have jumped out and ran to help him get his bike back up.
I like to think that mindset, in some small way, makes me a biker.
Sierra, I have to tell you, this morning I pounded out a very hasty reply and, at the last minute, deleted it! I'm not sure I agree with everything that you've said here, I probably agree with very little of it to be honest. But after reading your profile, I understand a bit more of what you were trying to say...the depth from which it came. Thanks for voicing your opinion..Ride Safely all! Angel :)
Ok..here's my opinion. Frankly, I'm getting tired of hearing what a biker is. It's been turned inside-out,upside-down,and then some.
Cuss me,insult me, preach to me. That's my opinion!
SierraThunder, #1 I have no need to justify to you or anyone else How I live my life or what I ride or when I ride. 2# I live in the snowy north east an still ride when others have put their bikes up for the winter.I have built bikes from the frame up from swap meet parts. I am far from being a newbie when it comes to riding an wrenching. 3# Who is to say who realy has the biker heart? Does age , the bike you ride , the people you ride with dictate this? I think not. Biker is in the heart an soul of the person. Don't be so quick to judge someone. Things have changed alot since "the good old days" . Lighten up an enjoy life , I have found life is much sweeter if you just do your own thing an let others do the same. Ride free an ride proud OldBull
