It's nice to see that some things never change. Been away from the forum for a few weeks. Had to take a vacation from the BS, and then I find this little jewel of a thread. Well done folks. Well done.

The only reason I ask is that in conversation I referred to myself as a biker and an American friend said I was claiming to be a 1%'r which I wasn't, I was just using the term in the way I would in England, I was wondering if this perception that he had of bikers being 1%'rs was general in the US or if he was just confused.

This is what I was raised up calling it and being called before I moved out of the south. Don't hear it out here too much. I remember seeing it a lot in easy Rider mags late 70s early 80s. Before it got too PC.
As for Brits being bikers? after reading your BS about my country I have an answer for you...
Brits can't be bikers they can't figure out a way to fit the lifestyle in to the time spent banging their moms.

Those places are everywhere, even in the great state of Arizona. Been to AZ many times and seen (and felt) it for myself. You can too if you allow yourself. Just how 'biker' you look to be has a lot to do with it.
Just walk into any up-scale establishment all leathered out and witness how many stares you get. Dude, I guarantee you'll have everyone's undivided attention - positive, neutral, or negative. Especially if there's more than one of you.
Yeah, a few of those stares will be positive, many will be neutral, but there will be more than several that are negative and you'll definitely feel that heat.
Sure, it isn't as prevalent as it was in the 60's and 70's but it's most definitely still there (and nearly everywhere I've ever gone).
Outta' here.

Wear a polo shorts and spikes into a biker bar your gonna get looked at funny.
Ride a horse into church your gonna get looked at funny.
Ive never payed no attention to other people staring. Ive never given much of a **** what other people thought.
