Is that Brad video a put-on? It can't be serious.
On topic: If you call yourself a biker, you're mostly likely not.

It's truly amazing what you'll hear in a Harley showroom. Eavesdropping can be VERY entertaining in a dealer!

Actually what I find strange is that you would follow a complete stranger into a store after making note of the make and model vehicle he drove. Then lurk nearby and eavesdrop on his conversation with the salesman so you could start a thread about it on the forums.

I quit shaving this morning, I already noticed even the baggers with no helmets are waving at me.

I'm 39 yo and have been riding since I was 16. I have owned many different brands of Bikes and was always of the school that it does not matter what you ride just that you ride. Today I went to my local Harley dealer where they were having an open house. I watched a guy pull up in a BMW with his wife and 2 kids and be went in side. I went in right after him and was watching him look at the bikes. He told the sales man that he was a "Biker" and wanted to get some info on a new Harley. The salesman said that they were doing test rides today and if he had gear he could try a 2014 out to see if be liked it. The man said "gear"? The salesman said you know boots jacket gloves helmet you know gear. The man said he did not own any but wanted to know if be bought a bike with out riding it if the dealer would throw in all the gear oh yeah and he wanted to know what the final price would be on the bike he was sitting on. The salesman said have you ever rode a motorcycle before and the man said no but my friend at work has one and he said its not hard and that I looked like a Biker because of his beard. So there for he tells people he's a Biker. So I'm standing there and I am pondering what I just heard and I thought. Am I a Biker? I ride allot. I own 3 bikes. I have a well paying full time job and a daughter. I never thought of myself as a "Biker". What makes you a biker? Anyway thought I would share this story with you all. Hope you find it as strange as I did.
Ride safe.

I'm 52, been riding since I was 8, dirt bikes till I was 15, bought my first Harley in 1975, now own multiple Harley's and love to ride them, putting somewhere between 30k-40k a year on average. I wear comfortable boots that just happened to come from Harley, but you'd only know it if you were looking at the bottom of them, along with jeans and a shirt that is comfortable for the weather, same with a jacket. I have leathers and rain gear that I wear when the weather dictates I need them, and a helmet I wear in the rain or when riding the interstate or in bigger cities. I have fingerless gloves that I wear because they are comfortable. I keep my bikes clean and in good repair, and all of them have chrome and extras on them that are functional and that I like, but I don't spend hours polishing after every ride. My hair is either medium to long by west Texas standards depending on how I feel, and I have a goatee, not a full beard...and really don't care what anyone thinks about it or calls me because of it.
