+1 (ride in winter as long as there is no snow or ice on the roads)

Are we having fun yet?

 

Biker or Motorcyclist? I guess if you care you must hit the third designation, poser!

 

All you posers are welcome to the posers thread

 

so if you ride year round, would synthetic be better than dino?

 

I only ride when it's sunny and warm. When it rains or snows, I put my bike on my trailer and bring it with me and unload it where ever I go so that i can appear to be a biker. I figure that since I'm kinda old, I have earned that title regardless of what I really am. thank you.

 

I see myself as somewhere in between. I'd rather take the bike whenever I'm home, which is 1 or 2 days every other week or so. If my wife and I go out we take the car (she's terrified of the bike). My son and I take bikes when we go out (he's 16 and riding his learner, a 1982 Suzuki 550).

My idea of a biker goes back to the 60's and 70's, and a "Biker" to me is a 1% type. Maybe not a 1%er, but with that kind of mindset. Leave me alone, I'll leave you alone, but fukc with my bros and deal with us all. I spent a lot of time around 2 of the 4 big clubs, and I'm not a biker by my definition.

A motorcyclist, to me, is a person who likes to ride but will pull over under the nearest bridge at the first sign of rain. They worry about a little stain on their leathers, a chip in the paint and keep their bikes clean all of the time. Lots of HOG types here, not that that's a bad thing, it just ain't me.

I ride my bike as much as I can. I don't wash it before every ride, but it sure does look good clean. If we agree, fine, if we don't, I won't hate you for it, but don't try to sell me something. I have a deep love for this country, and it sickens me to see what's going on. I don't care what you ride. My leathers are new because I can't fit into the 24 year old ones I just passed on to my Daughter-in-law.

Just call me a rider and let it go.

 

Double post....

 

I was trying to figure out if I am a "biker" or a "motorcyclist", then I decided I don't really give a **** what label someone else wants to apply to me, and I went for a ride.
