My facial hair can be a little spotty. I'm only a biker if you see me at the right angle.

I hate these "biker" threads and swore I'd never post in another one, but I just watched that vid and had to comment. That thing is outstanding. My favorite part I think is when the cameraman says all sarcastic while laughing, "yeah, I don't know anything about bikes". That's gold right there. Gold.

So what, Who cares, he'll just be adding to the pool of good condition lightly used bikes.

In 5 years he'll be selling a used 2014 StreetGlide with extra helmets 5000 miles garage kept.

Mind your own business and stay out of his.

TO ME...
A biker is someone who's in a motorcyle club, that has a MC patch. Riding club members aren't bikers, they're bike riders who are just in a club.
TO ME...
This definition also includes lone-wolf riders like Jeff over there. If you wanna tell him he ain't a biker, go for it. I'll stand a little further over here.

That video was hilarious! What a colossal douche!! "This is like a 5000lb motorcycle" It's a street bike, you can't do wheelies on a street bike" "You don't know much about motorcycles do you?" LMMFAO! Kudos to the camera man for bringing out the full douchebaggery and recording it!!

I wear clothes from pretty much every store but the Harley dealer, my helmet is old style metal flake, I wear thick rimmed glasses because it is almost impossible to find anything else that fits my face nowadays, I have a chain on my wallet because I've lost 2 in the past and don't want to make it 3, I have a vest because I want pockets and don't like backpacks, I wear sneakers sometimes, other times I wear boots, etc, etc, etc.

I am a biker. Why? Well, for one, I don't have a car... Two, I don't give a **** what you, or anyone, thinks a biker is. Pretty sure that is the first rule of biker club from back in the 40s and 50s... doing your thing regardless of what other people think. I ride rain, shine, hot, cold, and everything in between and I love it. I would rather be on a bike than in a car in all situations except when I have to go grocery shopping and when there is ice/snow on the road.

That all said, I don't think I'm a badass. I don't walk around trying to be a biker, I just am one by nature. That doesn't mean I don't wash, or that I don't own nice clothes, or that I don't have a job and money in the bank, or any of the other stuff the general public associates with the term "biker". I ride a bike all the time, therefore I am a biker. Pretty easy.

Some of you people put too much into a word. If you ride a motorcycle I'm pretty sure someone in your neighborhood has referred to you as that biker dude down the street. I have a boat so that makes me a boater. I don't think I have to qualify to be called a boater, in fact most boaters aren't even afraid to admit that they're boaters. I really think the OP made this entire story up anyhow.
