Love it. I went in there last summer to see the place. It was a dump. A few bullshit bikes,lots of clothes, some bs parts laying around for sale like it was a flea market. In and out in 3 minutes.

 

My thoughts are that they are no more than reality TV personalities airing their dirty laundry.

 

I never knew that wrenching and distance riding were mutually exclusive. If someone does one, do they have to give up the other?

Crazy


PS: If you're clairvoyant enough to know how many miles everyone rides, or doesn't ride, do you have any sure fire NFL bets for this Sunday?

 

I enjoy the show, the bike building more than the family squabbles.

But what's the point in ragging on someone else's taste?

BTW, I'm pretty sure all of y'all's dicks are bigger than mine.

:-)

 

I know mine is

 

hahaha sorry for pissing in your dinner. The bike I ride makes me less of a biker? Now who has the wrong attitude?

Im not saying I'm any more of a biker than the next guy. That's my point. People like YOU try to draw lines where there shouldn't be lines. Whether one works on their scoot or not doesn't make one a biker or not.

Also, I think you're paranoid. I don't think any white collar folks are trying to be something they aren't. Actually, I think they try really hard not to cross that line. You remind me of the guy off of 'Wild Hogs'. The guy Ray Liotta played. Yeah, I bet that's you by a long shot, huh? hahaha

 

I think anyone that is around the biker community can spot someone that doesn't ride much. Ya know, the guys that don't know how to put their feet up sooner than a mile from start. The guy that duck walks around the parking lot. And my favorite is the guy that guns it from stop light to stop light. Yeah, its guaranteed they have less than 5K in the saddle. Just sayin'.

 

I love the Thread...not new...but love it.

The same old if you wear a white collar, you are a poser...if you make money or have any success...you are aren't a " real" biker.
OCC guys are successful guys...found a niche..and made a fortune.

Go ride your bikes....

 

I had seen that. Cool program. Came in TV fairly recently.
I could not agree more. Saw them at their show in Nashville a few years ago, and got the chance to meet several of them. Tiffany and I hung out with Rick quite a while, and talked one on one with Vinnie a bit. Steve personally gave us tickets to get into the show, and we got to hang with Mikey a little as well. The two Pauls did not even come out to sign autog's. Way to support your fanbase. I think a lot of it was Jr. being told what to do (you could hear Sr. yelling at him in their little tent offstage), but Sr. was a headtrip. They did sign frisbees and toss them out to the crowd, which was cool... I have a few of them. But there was no interaction whatsoever. Vin, Rick, Steve, Mike, Mikey, I have a lot of respect for. Jr., I respect, but he sort of let some of this go to his head. Sr. I lost all respect (what little I had) when he started his shenanigans. Such a shame.
To sum it all up, no... I don't think Sr. is a real biker. Mikey, Vinnie, Rick... yes. Has nothing to do with their builds, or how much is custom fabricated... does have to do with the fact that if they were to pass you by on the highway and you were broken down, would they stop to help?Sr. absolutely not. Jr. possibly... probably. Rick, Mikey, and Vinnie, absolutely. It is about the brotherhood, and you simply can't buy that, no matter how rich you may be.

 

I thought we all joined here as "bikers". Not sure what to argue here. I know I'm a biker and to hell with what anyone else thinks. I ride my sled when I feel the need and I occasionally clean it too. Sometimes I even go to bike nights just because I'm on the road and it catches my eye. I don't care who you are or what you ride, as long as you actually ride the damn thing. You wanna wear a pink helmet and purple goggles, go ahead and do it. As long as you're riding and not worrying about what the other "bikers" are saying.
