Whats a Poser????
Just curious as to the definition of a Poser?
I see a lot of post's about posers or someone thats a poser but could never figure out what a poser is, exactlly. I mean i have a rough idea but wondered, or was fearful, am i a poser too????? LOL. Is a poser someone thats trying to be like the bad outlaw biker, or just a biker in general. Not trying to start trouble, just more for my own sake, god knows i don't want to be one...been riding all my life and truely feel my bike is my best therapy ever. So, mabey i already answered my own question, maybe a poser is someone who has never riden a bike before and goes out and buys the biggest, baddass bike in town, and cannot ride it. Am i close?
Anyway, i sure hope everyone is riding or close to it.
My Florida trip is coming up at the end of April, 1700miles one way, also think of Sturgis too this year.

Anyone who tries to pass themselves off as being someone/something that they're really not. A classic example - fakers claiming to be current/former Navy SEALS.

A poser? I don't know cause I know I am one bad a$$ biker. I have ridden all my life. The last 5 years on a motorcycle. I wear leather on cool days, not because it keeps me warm, but because it makes me look bad a$$. I pack a doo rag and am not afraid to use it. I can kick anybody's a$$ that is smaller than me and doesn't punch back. I could tear my bike down piece by piece and put it back together again with no problem. Trouble is I just don't have the time usually so I have all my work done at a local Indy shop. I could do all the work on my bike myself but I know he likes working on it and I want to make sure he stays in business. My wife is one bad a$$ b**tch too ever since she retired from teaching kindergarten. You wouldn't want to mess with her either. Even though we both have thought about being one percenters, right now we prefer to ride the back country roads on a beautiful day taking in the sights of nature. We figure once we get that out of our system we will really turn bada$$ and join a biker gang. I wish I could answer your question because I'm still not sure what a poser is.

if you eat cheese and sallami and live with your mommy you are a POSER!
Someone who buys a metric bike, removes all identifying pieces from said metric bike and then tries to pass his POS off as a harley. that is the ultimate poser!

1st of all a poser starts off as a wanabe you know dress the dress,walk the walk,talk the talk but have no bike.Then the wanabe buys a bike then thinks they are the real deal without ever being there,done that,lived it....They like riding in nice weather,allways cleaning thier bike and like giving the impresion that they have been there,done that and lived it without haveing a clue......
I only started riding Harleys 30 yrs ago so Iam still working on the poser thing I did however just sell my 80 FLT witch I posed with for 26yrs and now Iam down to two Harleys so I guess Iam a Wanabe poser now Hahahaha....
Go to Sturgis and you will see what poseing is all about....well atleast 60-70% of what poseing is all about....All I know is in about 12 hours I will be poseing with my snow blower.Grrrrrrrrrrr..............Dang Blizzard.........
