Default RUB or not?

Why am I called a RUB? I have owned a HD bike since 2000. First bike was a 2000 1200 custom. Currently own a 2004 Fatboy and a 2007 Street Glide. My family has always been a HD family. Dad had a 61 FLH duoglide that some of you helped me identify here. My brothe has had a couple of Sportsters and now owns a 2005 fatboy.

thanks

Who's calling you a RUB?

Are you Rich, or at least fairly well off? My guess is, yes since you have 2 fairly new HD's

Do you live in an Urban environment?

Are you a Biker? Of course you are.

So are you a RUB? Most of usfitinto the definitionnowadays.

Why worry about what someone else may or may not call you. Ride, Have fun and enjoy life.

Just another example of how destructive cliques and class envy are. As best I can tell, one of two things are the most common qualifications to be a RUB.

1) Youdon't ride 24/7/365.Excuses such asa job, call schedule, family, etc. do not exempt you from this.

2)You make at least $1 more than someone else on this forum.

From one RUB to another, don't sweat it.

Well, do you ride or own you bikes? How many miles did you put on the 2004 Fat Boy before you bought the 2007 Street Glide?

As far as the family goes it doesn't matter what your Dad or your brother has or hasn't done? It has to be part of you!
