Finally! After countless threads on this topic and long winter days - the definitive answer!

 

I ride whenever I can, which means a lot of commuting (work to ride/ride to work), which currently means I'm cruising with dress pants and non-gut stomping boots.
I have had an occasional brief thought about what other "Real" bikers think of my work attire, but realized most of them would be judging me from the confines of their motor company sticker adorned car or truck.

 

I don't know- I got motorcycle pics and parts all over the place, I can see three helmets in my dining area next to my '53 Panhead.

My leather gear is on the loveseat next to me, just got back from a 31 degree morning run around.

I got my DVD "Dead in 5 Heartbeats" loaded in the player.

My bathroom mirror has H-D stickers on it- 3 stacks of Iron Horse, In the Wind, Biker, and Easyriders is my reading file there, a tapestry of my Pan is over my headboard in the bedroom.

The spare room is my Harley cave- posters, spare parts, antique junk, old Easyriders VHS tapes and Biker Build-Off Indian Larry DVDs.

What is an American Biker? I can't tell you because I know lots of guys that live and breathe motorcycles of all types.

 

Holy cow sling blade. That pic is great! Although I wouldn't do that, its awesome! Had to save that one!!

 

I dunno sling... you might qualify brother.

 

I remember when--------Damn I forgot when?

 

Personally, way too many people concern themselves about the so called biker lifestyle. They try to look, act and dress like those they see on tv or at their local Starbucks. Just go out and enjoy the ride and don't worry about what others think, say or do, works for me.

 

WTF...is a lifestyle ? I've been told to get a life. I've been told I have no style. If I get a life will a lifestyle be included.?

 

Lifestyle not included. Maybe they should put that as a warning sticker right on the bike. "Life Style Not Included"

 

you need some smoke detectors!!
