Back in Jr High school anyone who wore leather, had a chain wallet and wore a HD T shirt but owned no bike... we called them a "Sidewalk Biker..."

The term "wallet biker" most probably refers to a person who has a job, house, nuclear family, varied interests, and a life.

As opposed to a "real biker".

Lol. My original post on "wallet bikers" was more entertaining. Too bad it was locked down.

So you are saying that real bikers are losers because having a job, house, and a family is a win for alot of us folks here.

Threads usually get resurrected when someone scrolls past the thread they have open and moves into the related thread discussion at the bottom.

Dang @Redlegvzv You win today's prize for 8yr old thread bump from 2015! Lol

FINALLY I learn what I am. "I am a Wallet Biker". Hell yes and I'm toing to get a patch that says just that!
6 bikes and paid cash for all of them.
I've had over 35 bikes in my life and buy, bling, then sell as I get bored with them.
I've put 1,000 miles on my 2020 Fat Bob in the 2 yrs I've owned her.
My 2022 Low Rider ST only has 267 miles on it.
I have the dealer do all maintenance because my free time is limited.
Both have lots of bolt on parts and are sparkling clean sitting in my garage.
I have a HUGE rollway with every socket in both SAE and Metric that Craftsman makes. All perfectly clean and organized.
I have lots of Harley shirts, hats, and memorabilia.
I stop by the Harley dealer nearly every Saturday to get inspiration on new bolt on bling and toss a leg over the new models.
I don't ride there on my bikes, I drive as it's like 25 miles away and I have to take the freeway.
I have a different Helmet for each bike.
I have both Summer and Winter riding gear that looks brand new.
I live in California and only ride from March to November before it gets cold or rains.
I have a White collar job that pays me too much for what I do.
I have ZERO tattoos nor will I ever get one.
I have no facial hair.
I rarely drink and don't smoke.
I've been married to the same women for 35yrs.

Everything above is true and describes me well. I am a Wallet Biker and loving it.
