I'm "only" 65 but I looked at my scooter in the garage today. 15 degrees with snow.

I have a good job. I have a wife, kids, mortgage, pool, dog, cat etc. I have no big beard, short hair-clean cut for work. I wear leather jacket/chaps when it's cold because I ride year round (when I actually am home). I have a vest to keep my shirt from flying in my face in the summer and, yes, it has patches on it but then again I collect FD and my military unit patches.
Sometimes, I ride with my friends. Sometimes I ride alone. Sometimes I just ride to ride. I ride when I go to the grocery store, or if I am taking my kid somewhere and I definatley rode to work when I could (can't now). I always (and will always) wear a helmet because I promised my wife and kids I would. I wave to everyone when I safely can and a lot of times I get a wave back, but not always. I cannot ever see me without a bike.
I took a fall once on a friends bike and it scared the $hit out of me (even though it really was not a bad one and I was lucky) so I didn't ride for almost 20 years. I regret that.
My dad envies me and my wife sort of understands.
Many would call me a "RUB", I don't care. Some would call me a poser? Yah, whatever. I work in a place where people die before they have had a chance to really live. I just like to ride. Biker Lifestyle? I dunno, don't care. I just like to ride. I tend to hang out with people having the same interests as me so...call it what you will.

Only RUB's and Posers think about being called a RUB or a poser. Frankly this site is the only place I ever use the terms and most of the time I am being funny.
But don't worry about it I don't think you're a RUB or a poser. I just think you're riding a wallet bike.

I saw this on facebook and I didnt know if I should click to like it or not.
ChopperExchange.com
Click 'Like' if you live and love the true American biker lifestyle.
Just what is the true American biker lifestyle? How can I tell if I live it?
I ride my bike everyday if only for a few miles. What am I missing?

I don't know the answer, but I bet it has something to do with being an American.
That's assuming that the definition of an American is someone that lives in the USA.
On a side note "The Americas" are everything in North, South and Central America. People would argue that anyone living in the Americas is an "American". For example someone who lives in Chile is an American just as much as a person that lives in the USA.. But I do digress..
