Your old biker clothes

I imagine a lot of people these days have no idea what a cobbler is. Older shoes may be of higher quality than what you find in the stores today, or, that same quality is very expensive. Buying a pair of older, seemingly worn out shoes, then having them repaired by a cobbler, one might potentially end up with some very nice boots at half what they might cost new.

And you know this because....???? 
a lot of these "well worn" items on ebay are for the kinky/fetish crowd. Some folks just can't wait to strap an old, stinky boot from a -real biker- over their mouth and nose like a gas mask and get busy furiously rubbin' one out (and maybe thinking about YOU in the process).
Some of your contributions to the ebay community are probably appreciated more than you know...
I don't understand it- but nothing surprises me any more.

I think what it is, some people don't buy new boots and clothes in fear of looking new and accused of looking to much like a poser. With all of the critics around, I'm not surprised.

Wish people would dump the better than thou attitudes. If I applied some of this 'biker' logic to all things in life, wouldn't it be a screwed up world? If a newbie says something stupid about anything, playing ball, skiing, golf etc. I will take the time to help him learn and won't shrug him off like a RUB or a PUBE (poor urban bike enthusiast). Actually the pubes can be the worst ... know Harleys but know diddley squat about social skills or much else for that matter.
Been around bikes since I was 20, now I'm 60 ... just because he knows sh*t about Harleys doesn't make me better than him.
Gump had it right ... "Mumblerz are PIZZ ANTZ, N E way". Hate seeing people whisper in any situation .... pet peeve of mine.
Seen all kinds of RUB's and PUBE's, "A"holes in both groups.
