There aren't near as many out their as claim to be. Seems like the Internet Bikes that scream the loudest about being one are the farthest from 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???
I dunno...are you? If you're asking, then it's suspect. By the way, why does someone have a shaved head "not by choice"? Medical reasons?
