So if I have the oil changes and other maintenance on my car done at a shop, am I a wallet car-er? How about a wallet boater? Luckily I like to do my own maintenance on my bike so I guess I'm a real biker.

 

I spent 20 years as a licensed aircraft mechanic, so I don't feel I have to prove anything by doing my own maintenance and mods, I'm just too cheap to pay someone else to do it.

 

I'm always reminded of the Emo Philips joke entitled "The Heretic" whenever these "whose a biker" threads get going. You know, like every four hours or so.

Oh, you ride a bike? I ride a bike... What kind of bike do you ride? A Harley, hey I ride a Harley! What kind of Harley? Wow, a knucklehead! Me Too! Did you do the restoration by yourself? No, you paid someone to do it? What a asswipe. **** off....

To be fair, it's hardly something Harley riders and "real bikers" have an exclusive on... and to be honest, there really aren't that many people in the western world who aspire to be "a biker" of any type who aren't already riding a bike. Short of 3rd world countries trying to catch-up, motorcyclists are a dying breed... figuratively and literally.

 

Why would it be so offensive to somebody else what I can afford and when I choose to ride? I work my *** off to buy what I want and ride when I want.

Aren't you a happy load of holiday cheer , bet your the show stopper at the office Christmas party too .

About the part when you said nobody wants to be a biker anymore ? read up in here some there's all kinds busy trying to be or at least appearing to be one . They get all kinda pissed off when the obvious part about not being one gets pointed out to them too .

 

I have a chain drive wallet, but I want to upgrade to a belt drive. I think it would be quieter and not need so much maintenance. Mine runs on empty most of the time cause I am married. I think I am just a motorcyclist as I don't seem to ever find a type that I fit on here. Oh well.

 

Okay, I get it. I worked on fighter jets in the Marine Corps, worked as a civilian auto mechanic and other technical jobs while I went to college and earned a degree. I know how to turn a wrench as well as anyone but since I now have a career that affords me the opportunity to own and ride a Harley and pay someone else to get their hands dirty, I am somehow unfit to own my bike?

Right...
