I don't know if you are not, but I know your not a biker if when it rains you drive back home and put it back in the garage.

You are a bike buliding, riding, married father of four. Who cares whether people think you are a biker? At least your kids aren't being raised by a single mom, without child support. You just are!

Been watching and have tossed a few comments into this clusterfuc and I have to ask , why is so important to some they attain the label biker ? Why does that have so much control or influence over your lives trying to be something that didn't come natural from the start of it ?

I have had bikes for about 10 years but just got my first HD last year... Am I a "Biker"??? On the flip side I am also a Father of 4 daughters, who I love to spend time with, a wife I love to death, a dog and a career. Some people refer to me as a biker but they are usually non riders who do. Not that the title means much to me but I sure as hell don't want to be a poser either.

So tell me, am I considered a biker??? What makes someone be considered a biker???

Well in my opinion, ....... ahhh screw it . Now stop asking stupid questions lol.

The guys I consider bikers wouldn't be asking if they were.

Ya, agreed, but describe what that lifestyle is?

Seems to be a bit of variables there.

seldom drives a cage and rides all year round, has tats, wears denim and leather, has an attitude about squares, goes to titty bars and has a dancer old lady, probably has done some time and packs a piece. May or may not wear a patch but probably associated with some club.

That's the profile I used to fit when I was younger. I can still slip into that persona real easy but several near death experiences and a state paid vacation gave me some incentive to square up a bit. I quit riding for some years to stay out of trouble and did hot rods and sports cars but the road kept calling me so I started riding again.
