Before you ask - yes - Concord.
If it makes me a RUB/YOB/whatever - great. At least I won't deny it. Much like most everyone here, I worked hard all my life to get where I am - had alot of bikes before getting to afford a HD. Not bad for an ex-NYC Bike Messenger.
Ohh...and I live in the suburbs...does that make me I'm a RSB??..although the R is really all relative, isn't it.

I bought both my Rolex and my Harley Davidson among some other cheap crap with the money I've earned working my *** off. I've owned that watch for more than 15 years now and my ride brand new back in '99. I do take my motorcycle for dealer scheduled services, I don't touch the engine. I do install all the accessories myself to feel like a "real biker" and get my hands dirty "as we all should right" ??? I has taken me 7 years and hard earned money to put my bike together as I want it... it is funny how envy tends to label people right off of first hand isn't it?
That makes me a RMF (rich mother f*cker) for as long as I can pay for those little life "sunshines"
Best regards.

I am jealous of Y.O.B.'s because I wish I had all that money to spend as well.

Guess I'm just a regular joe. My 93 FLH has little in way of bling (gas cap cover and Thunderheader slip ons). I have 4 HD T-shirts, and a leather jacket made in China. I have a $20.00 digital watch that has lasted 5 yrs, and work overtime to pay for all of it.

WTF is wrong with going to the dealer??? I bought the extened warranty with the 1st five services pre paid. I work 2 extra off duty shifts a month to make my bike payment. My truck took a dump so I am on two wheels all the time. In dont want my wife left at home with two toddlers without transportation. I go to the dealership, I buy their stuff, I like it so f**&ing what.

I can honestly admit to being "a Red Neck Biker" because,
1. When faced with needing the driveway paved or buying a new scooter, I got a tractor and a new bike. I just grade the ruts down when it rains hard. Problem solved.
2. I just about got done with the roof on the back porch summer before last, then we got the new scooter. Screw the roof, the tarp from Sam's Club works just fine.
3. Instead of building a garage to store the tractor, bikes, truck and car, I bought a shed for the tractor and one for the bikes. Let the car and truck fend for themselves.
4. I'm always late for work. Remember, "it's the journey not the destination."
5. An finally everbody that knows me says so. Come on down and visit us in the country!

then you must be having fun. I was working one of my off duty shifts last night (1/2 of bike payment early) and saw the same pair of $40,000 + choppers that were in our town sqaure in a different restaurant parking area then the last time I worked. Tow totally tricked out choppers parked for everyone to see, guess they could paid me to ride them there.

So, is this website such as so many others, where you have to apologize for being successful?
Just asking.
