I gotta laugh buds at the last couple post's and with you not about , if we don't fit the stereo type for middle age crazies , I'll kiss my 1st wife fat *** ........... LOL .

Go for it guys like everything else we,ve discovered after 50 just do it in moderation and were did I put that bottle of Tylenol ?

 

You suppose he'll be making his bike jump up and down at stop signs??

 

You ain't right man ....

 

33 and love this style!!!!! I say ride what you want, and use your scooter to express who you are, and if it isn't your thing, don't worry about. Respect those who choose any kind of two-wheeled freedom!!!! Young or old, new or old, rattled canned or shiny crisp paint jobs, we are ALL bikers!

 

Seems like the first time I remember seeing those ear thingies was when I was a kid looking in Nat. Geo magizines. Thought they looked ok if you lived in a mud hut.

But at least they ride.

 

i really dont care what people ride or do to thier bikes to each thier own, live and let live and all the other bs that makes people tic.

 

For those who think this "new" generation of riders aren't bikers, just check out HD's website and look at the new bikes harley is producing. These bikes are coming strait from the factory looking old and chopped.

I'm only 22 and ride a 2002 wide glide, but by no means fit in with this "new" generation. Then where does that put me in the bikers image?

Just saying HD is producing there new bikes to appeal to the new generation.

 

I couldn't agree more.

It's laughable the amount of judgement that goes on here. So some 45 year old guy decides he wants to ride a motorcycle for the first time, He buys a new bike. He's a poser. He buys a new leather jacket (cuz he didn't have an old one) he's a poser, but If he bought an old leather jacket...he'd be a poser. He joins HOG to meet some other people with similar interests...poser. Whatever you do , don't buy a shirt at the HD dealership unless you've been riding 20 years and pieced your bike together from parts you found while scouring the motorcycle graveyards of your misspent youth. Just remember you didn't fall out of the womb in worn out jeans, leather chaps and a tattered harley t'shirt knowing how to ride. Maybe the only difference betwen you and the people you call posers is your "uinform's" a little older.

As for this "new school" of bikers, more power to 'em. It doesn't look all that new to me. Looks alot like self expression...the reason the original "posers" (that use of posers was a joke) got into riding. You don't like it...that's cool, but respect the fact that they're doing their thing just like you and there's someone out there that doesn't like what you're doing.

I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

I say "pose on"!!!! Fake it till you make it!

 

Will fuzzy dice replace the gremlin bell?

 

I like the old rat look for some reason, to each there own and I do like a newer bike myself, but building a cool old rat bobber is something I would love to do.
