Are you a rider or a biker?

I work in a factory with about 50 people. About 50 to 60 ride bikes. On a nice summer day there are a ton of bikes in the lot. When it is cold out mine seems to sit alone. I don't care about how anyone else thinks bikers should be, just don't tell me I'm stupid for riding to work when it is 40 degrees out.
There's probably a couple of dozen or so guys who ride where I work. About half of us ride Harleys, there's 3 Gold Wings, a couple of BMW's, sport touring bikes, metric sport bikes and a couple of ratty cafe racer types. When the weather gets cold, it's usually me and the Gold Wing riders still in the parking lot. So what.
So who is telling you you're stupid for riding to work when it's 40*? I've certainly not read anything like that on the forum.

Big Wreck?
Can't believe I slogged through all this, but I was like the proverbial moth drawn to the flame. Never ceases to amaze how people find the need to justify their behavior or lifestyle when most people wouldn't give a damn if you dropped dead tomorrow. To the OP, did you really think we haven't heard this drivel in one form or another a thousand times. The fact that you felt compelled to define your perception of a "biker" speaks volumes. Most people here enjoy each others company, can take a good ribbing when deserved (or not), and -NEWSFLASH-Enjoy Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Beyond that who gives a rat's azz?

Yeah...
I was thinkin' the same thing. Looks like it belongs in one of those Harley books or would make a great painting/poster, etc. Gave me a sense of relaxation, well being, and urgency all at once with those foreboding clouds ahead.
