the "problem" is more of source of amusement and this little old lady is easily amused.

Well the number four is the death word in Japan -- my other home -- so I left it out on purpose like most of my friends there. Sorta like the number 13 only worse.
Sounds like you have some inner turmoil that has messed up a part of your life. Hope you can work it out. In the meantime hup-two on the maple syrup wouldja? I'm almost out and the weekend is here. Need it for my Satruday waffle/bacon/coffee/juice breakfast, highlight of my culinary life these days.
Or would you rather I buy Made in USA Vermont maple syrup? Your call dude but it could have big ramifications on the balance of trade...

Back to the more serious topic of maple syrup. Yeah, I got a half a bottle in the door of my fridge, I think I'm going to pop some eggo's in for breakfast tomorrow. I have a hankerin for it now.
Do you want me to ship you a bottle? Is that even allowed? Homeland security might think it's a bottle of nytro! Well, if you're serious, and you think it's allowed, I'll send a bottle your way. haha.

BMW has sold tons of GS's [Gelande Strasse / Land/Street] especially after the movie "Wrong Way Round" came out. There is significant scorn for the pristine GS with flawless Hepco-Becker aluminum bags ridden by an Aerostich-clad rider with [always] a Schuberth flip-up helmet. You do not need a $19,000 BMW R1200GS Adventure with an 8 gallon fuel tank to ride to Starbucks. I maintain BMW clubs are so popular because it takes three guys to pick one up.
And sport bike posers? Uhh. Next time you see a liter bike, take a look at the back tire and dollars to donuts there's a chicken strip the width of a dollar bill. If you got "worms" on the outer edges, you get respect....
Bottom line: apparently we all suck.
Danner FTW!

Not many here like my opinion and there even fewer I care about, but here it goes anyways,
Its all good if you're 40+ and got your first harley. Good for you and MoCo.
The only time I see that as a problem is when its an overnight change from a reasonable individual with a good job and family into a "look at me I'm a BAD *** now". We all know it happens.
I don't care what you say on this forum and what side of this issue you're on, but you can't lie to your self. Look in the mirror. Do you see a "biker", a rider, or a poser?
Only you can answer that question.
If you don't like being called "poser" , chances are you look or act like one. The only time names hurt is when they hit the target.
And please don't give me that "live and let live" ****. I got just as much right to my attitude as you do to yours. If I think you look stupid, I'll point and laugh. Its my right. Sure it comes with consequences .... you got a right to be offended and retaliate . I welcome that.

After reading some of your input, I think I "Get" where you're coming from. As a matter of fact, you're spot on a lot of the time.
What your NOT is diplomatic. And thats cool too.
It's pretty easy to figure a person out standing face to face. Some bullshit post on the internet? It can be hard.

Nothing wrong with being affluent and owning a motorcycle. I not pretending to be a criminal or outlaw, I just enjoy riding.
Do I wear chaps, No.. They do not really give protection. I do wear over the pants Motorcycle pants.
Do I wear fake tattoos or got one because I ride, No, No ink on me man.
Do I have a black Leather Jacket, Yes, I wear it in the winter time and mesh in the summer.
Do I ride without a helmet.. No. I wear a FF helmet.
Do I wear fingerless gloves, No, Full Finger Gloves for me.
The only HD stuff I personally buy are themed t-shirts. Sort of a collection of where I have been.
My rant is ended.

Yup me too. Always hated the political bullshit in the scene but loved everything else. Couldnt buy into the view that a trad was a fence sitter. It used to not be like that. All the crews i ran with and even the one i helped start was made up of skins who kept their political opinions to themselves. Being a skin always came first and everything after that didnt matter much.......lmao but thats a whole other topic thats best left over a few beers.

These clowns that write these "biker" "poser" threads make me laugh every time. If you’re online trying to explain to everyone what a "biker" is maybe your the "poser" by the definitions given in these explanations a true biker does not give a chit about anything. Why do they start to care when someone who makes a decent living wants to ride a Harley? Or where a Harley jacket? I truly don’t understand these threads.
