I can't quite define biker, but it would be someone whose life seems to revolve around his bike and leans toward being, if he/she isn't, a 1%er.

+1 to that

Never ceases to amaze me how much people give a s**t about what they call themselves and each other. After 50 years on 2 wheels, I Just ride and enjoy the wind.

Rider. Unless you wear the 1%er patch you're not a biker. Technically speaking.

Show a little too much nipple or use other letters to spell out a cuss word and the Mods will delete your comments.... Make countless multiples of the "Biker Or Not" threads monthly and not a peep. Go figure

Put a fork in this please.
