I earned it, by building a bike from the ground up and all the "fun" that comes with a bike that needs constant attention. I also set up my DYNA the way I wanted it, and I do my own maintenance.

That said, to me a biker is something that you have in your heart. Tattoos etc., don't mean squat. It's a mental thing. I can go on a 50 mile ride and enjoy it more than someone who rides 300.....Every ride is different, and special.

I just like to ride my bike.

I was expecting you to be like 85

 

Stripes?? Naa, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once!

 

That's actually a great idea. But in order to keep it fair I would need to figure out how to "grade" the students and have some sort of certificate or diploma upon sucessful completion. That would be hard to do online. In person you could do it like the MSF course and have live riding tests. Maybe the students could send a video of their riding to be graded. I think that the top riders would earn their biker diploma. Maybe even a decal or patch to put on their bike or jacket. Kind of like the sons of anarchy patch but the top would say Biker Graduate and the bottom could be their state or city. Not sure what to put in between them, maybe a cool simple design or something with barb wire or devil horns. I'd have to think about that but I have some ideas. Any suggestions would be welcome.

 

I hopped on my scoot several hours ago. went for a short ride in the country. Thought I had a plan for the ride, but lo and behold I ended up on some road that decided to become a 2 track. Several hours later and a stop at 2 pump fuel station at a cross roads in the middle of nowhere,for directions I found my way back on the road i was looking for.(The stop was well worth it as the cashier was HOT!. Then rode some twisty roads back home. Nice way to kool of on a hot day. The point of this story...there is none, after all this IS the bullshit section.

 

Yes you posted in the wrong section............The Softail section is only to tell people of all the new things you bought for your bike.

 

You're out there wasting all that time riding when you could be on here debating if you are a biker or not?
hmmmm....

 

Wow you are 31 and you would have considered yourself a "biker" 10-15 years ago? Buddy you are confusing biker with kid. At 16 I am sure you were no "biker" It amazes me that you consider a biker someone with an unreliable bike that needs fixing on the side of the road all of the time, that's a mechanic with a crappy bike. I am pretty sure everyone became a biker the same way, by going out and buy one. If anything you become a biker by riding one not fixing one.

 

lol

Top 3 post in the Softail section

1. Look at the new (whatever) I installed.

2. Will a 200mm tire fit my TC88?

3. Do I really need to do anything with the fuel injection on my TC96?

 

31! Yer still wet behind the ears kid. Ya write a half decent novel though....maybe yer a writer instead of a biker.
