I don't begrudge anyone for having many bikes, like lh4x4. I have one bike and love it dearly and work very hard. When people disparage other riders and call them "wallet bikers" I see thinly disguised envy.

 

Exactly. I am happy to pay my dealer to do the scheduled maintenance. Meanwhile I ride almost every weekend.

 

I don't do any of the maintenance for my bike. I put gas in it and occasionally put some air in the tires. A friend of mine does all the maintenance at a reasonable price and I just go out and buy the supplies. No shame here, I know my strengths and weaknesses and the mechanical gene passed me over. My odometer reading and riding ability help me feel secure about it. People are welcome to use whatever corny terminology they want to describe me if it makes them feel validated in some way. I'll keep on having fun and seeing the country regardless.

 

 

RUB’s chime in!

Gottal love it tho, about the 90’s is when I feel people had to “label” things or categorize.

As many say, ride your ride. Don’t become a Karen/Mitch.

Love everyone.

 

Only the engine was in the kitchen! The rolling chassis was in the living room!!

Just about everyone today that isnt riding a SHOVEL

 

Never heard the term wallet biker until today...
Sounds exactly like a "credit card captain" though

 

I thought the term was "RUB" . Anyway, I always paid cash for all my bikes, used to do all my mechanical work, but now I take it to the dealership for other than oil changes which I still do. Mainly because I'm 72 years old and getting down on the floor in the garage with bad arthritis is no fun any longer. Not sure what label fits me. I've been on two wheels for almost 60 years, so you can make up a name for me, I won't care, because I'll be out riding.
