I can tell you that From a Danish, Dutch, German, Belgian and French point of view But not British as I have spent allot of time there with people who think they are living the American Biker Lifestyle or Dream.
There are two camps.
For a majority of these people its the Ride Harley, wear a leather waist coat, have long hair, not shaved, lean towards the "AMA 1% Version"
the second camp is the Rich yuppy camp who are weekend bikers who are WildHog Riders.

This is what they believe the American Biker life style is..

Then you have the majority of the bikers in europe who don't buy Harleys because they don't want to be associated with the perceived American life style. They also want bikes that are more performance related and think that all american "HD, Indian, victory" are the ugliest bikes in the world and would rather have their ********* chopped of than ride one.
What's funny before the WildHog crew took over the image I tooled around Europe on a harley just before the Iron curtain came down , know what I saw the most of ? on harleys it was 90% the 1% image everybody else rode whatever right along beside them. Stock non chopped harleys were the exception along with the clean cut new wave riders . No fuss , no attitudes and everybody having a good time . Bikers where not necessarily riding harleys . The whole badboy image has been perpetrated by the MoCo for the last 28 years to sell bikes .

Thank you for your inquiry.

After consulting with the ornery biker's legal team, it has been relayed to me that no particular distinction(s) will be made between cigarette brand or type in the aforementioned, True Biker qualifying dispute. Any tobacco product is satisfactory in meeting the qualification.

However, you may find interest that it has also been relayed a special notation will be made and special privileges, which shall remain unspecified, WILL be rewarded to those whom have qualified in all True Biker aspects and have either 1) Shot their mother over a non-filter cigarette and/or, 2) had used a bullet greater than a .22 caliber.

I hope this new information has answered your question(s) to your satisfaction. Should you have any further questions in regards to these True Biker qualifications, please do not hesitate to contact my office for further assistance.

Sincerely,

Ratbike Mike
Thanks for the clarification. Proud member West Michigan Local 275, IBEW

For some it seems to mean dressing up like a pirate on the weekend.. getting your 5 year old bike (with 500 miles on the clock) out of the garage, and riding 2 miles to a "genuine biker bar" where you hang out and try and look tough.

Seriously, I've met guys that bought harleys and practically never rode them. The thought seemed to be that having a harley in your garage added an "edge" to your perceived personality.
