Darn, and I was just ready to start a good "rant" 'bout the turquoise ring comments.
Oh well, maybe next week when it comes back 'round. []

REAL Bikers just don't care what anyone else wears, rides, looks like. They just don't!
Well, unless of course your wearing THAT! That's just too funny!! That, and turquoise!!

jeans cuffed at the bottom, Dickies work shirt, beanieand Chuck Taylor Converse sneakers)
They either ride on back or they are just male-want-abees.

After being off the Harley scene for a few years I have noticed a few things and want to get y'alls input on them.
1. Why do these yuppie "bikers" wear leather from head to toe no matter how nice the weather is? Chaps are to keep you warm and dry, as far as a fashion accessory, I call gay. Same goes for leather skull caps. It smacks of The Village People.
2. Why do these yuppies' fat a$$ wives feel the need to squeeze into a pair of leather pants 5 sizes too small as well as a leather vest that is equally small?
3. Why do these people act as if they are some sort of hardcore biker when we all know that they spend all week as an Accountant, Lawyer, etc? I've got no issue with people riding no matter who they are, but let's not go around calling ourselves "biker trash". You're not fooling anyone but the rest of your yuppie friends. Riding to the stealership every Saturday hardly makes you "biker trash".
I can't help but think of "Wild Hogs" whenever I see these people. But what really ticks me off is that I get looks like I'm some sort of jackass because I'm wearing jeans, anon-black non-Harley t-shirt and nothing leather. Oh yeah, I also wear motocross gloves because they fit better and offer better grip than those leather fringed things.
In conclusion, I just wish people would be themselves, ride their scooters and stop trying to live this double life.

2. Can't esplain that one ... but it's not just biker women who do that ... Ever checked out what teenagers are wearing today? Considering a large poplulation of young adults are overweight ... doesn't neccessarily stop them from wearing the new wave fashions of lowrise jeans and cropped tops.
3.I know they are out there...but I haven't met a lot of the "wannabe's"...or so they're called.I have however, met many professionals who like to ride. They can put on as many miles as anyone and don't neccessarily ride just on sunny Saturday afternoons. I don't judge them for how much or how little they ride. I have the ability toform my own opinion about how they interact with me and others around me. Some are really neat people with alot to offer by way of friendly coversation andsharing a common interest. I don't know what YOU are looking for, but that does it for me.
Both hubby and I have raised our kids, own our own home, have worked since we were in highschool...now we own our own business and riding is about all that we do for pleasure. We work hard ... often 90 hr weeks (or more) ... and we love Harley Davidson motorcycles. That's our passion. If and when we get the chance ... we're riding! That's just what we like to do.We are exactly what you discribe as living a double life.
Now, I do not profess to be a hardened BIKER type...and you will never convince me thatwe are not "allowed" to ride because wedon't wearleathers all day everyday, have engine parts spead out on the dining room table at any given time, or aren't the beer drinking, belching, tatooed, ready to rubble hardened biker types that might be an acceptable image. ...Sorry, you'll just have to take us the way we are...or not...Doesn't really matter to me. We can do it, quite happily I might add,with or without your 'blessing'.

Another road nanny! I bet you vent here because its a lot easier to say your wife isa fatass and you look gay in leather chaps from the safety of your computer than it would be to man up say it to someones face.
But if you do decide to grow a pair and confront folks in person and you happen to start with the prime offender, just remember hes prolly not gay if hes married to a fatass woman...
