been riding for 40 years .. mostly harley... but I do wear fingerless gloves and actually own a pair of assless chaps...somewhere. Wont even mention my sleezy patch wearing daze... can I at least call myself a motorcycle enthusiast? Never liked the label biker anyways.

Uhhh, Sporty, you really didn't just say that did you?? Someone has stolen your identity... or your humanity?

The Dyna forum isn't like that, (can't vouch for the other model forums) I learn more there than anywhere.

Thanks MTBlood. Spending more time there these days, tired of the endless debates on what makes a "real" biker. I have a bike, I ride a bike, therefore...

All RIGHT!!!! I started riding when I was 17, on a Sportster I bought in 5 gallon buckets and put together in my Dad's garage...by myself. Then I bought a KZ900 and stretched and lowered it, eventually got into the low 10's...then another, then another, etc...til I bought my 35th bike last year....an 07 Heritage. So I'm confused...am I a real biker? Oh c'mon, PLEASE PLEASE pick ME! PICK ME!
If it has handlebars, I dig it. I REALLY dig this hog, for completely different reasons than I dig my Kaw dragbikes. It boils down real easy...
Try to pick up a hot chick on a bike that has an air shifter, no alternator, a slick on the rear and carries 1/2 gallon of fuel.
Then try to get your average Harley over 200 mph in a 1/4 mile...
Where one fails, the other excels. Hence my garage full of bikes, parts, and tools. And my body with the odd aluminum bones here and there...wait that left kneecap is composite, I forgot. Shut up, Randy.

I guess we all have very thin skin......... as evidenced by our need to respond to every one of these threads because our feelings were hurt.

If we ignore these threads........ I betcha they go away. Or at least we didn't have to start/contribute to another "farts and whine" festival.

Yeah, yeah, yeah........ Dad...... we know..........

Well SporkyPig you don't mind coming here to diss us after you post and ask for answers to questions you obviously can't get answered anywhere else. I guess you're not a real biker after all!!! Welcome back!!
