Anymore, it seems like whoever rides the most expensive.. which is mostly your rich ******** who drive to bike week, buy one, and then store it until next year. I don't really classify people as real bikers or posers. If you're brave enough to risk your life and get out and ride in the hell we call traffic, you're a rider, regardless.
Sheesh, I'm not here to judge people, but don't you see the irony in these contradictory statements?
A bike does not a rider make, regardless. I imagine if I walked up to the owner of that bike and offered him $35k cash on the spot for it, it would quickly become mine. Would owning it then make me a "real biker"? And if the guy who had owned it for 30 years and ridden it 300,000 miles (assuming that) then went out and bought a brand new, shiny "rich *******" bike, would that make him no longer a "real biker"?
Those of you who judge people by the bike they ride, yet call others "posers", seriously, will you get a clue?

Hell yeah I'd ride it....... Right after I restore it and throw away all the junk attatched.
Real biker, not real biker. If you ride, then your a biker. That's the way it is. Though some riders are more into the bike scene than others.

Haha...no doubt! I don't think that's what ol' mr. Davidson had in mind...
I just feel OLD when you guys call that a rat. Back in our day, it was a garbage scow, truck, wagon, whathaveyou, and there were only rumors of them (we didn't have internet).
We DID have "rat" bikes ride with us though...they were just the guys who didn't wash or degrease them, tended to ride with baling wire and duct tape; things like that - but they didn't attach the city dump to them.
To me, they were just another class of biker - sort of hardcore in their own element, usually full of life and laughs. Some were my BEST friends, and I have great memories because of them.

I don't get the attraction either but "To each his own". On the other end of the spectrum I never understood the guys who drove to a big Walmart parking lot to detail their cars (with towels, armor-all and stuff sprawled all over). I just assumed either way they are people who need a lot of attention payed to them.

You may NOT wear fingerless gloves
You may NOT wear azzless (still haven't found azzed) chaps
You may NOT wave at other bike--er riders
You may NOT acknowledge any other motorcycles as existing
You may NOT acknowledge sportsters as real motorcycles
You may NOT wear ANY Moco gear
You may NOT buy parts/goods from Moco
You MUST do ALL of your own maintenance on your bike
You MUST have flames and skulls all over your bike
You MUST idolize 1%ers
If I missed a few, my apologies, and I am sure someone will fill them in for me.
