RE: Am I a yuppie?
This whole yuppie thing is pretty amusing. Bikers complain when they are stereotyped. Yet, we read bikers stereotyping other people. From what others wear (like it is any of our business) to comparing folks whoride Goldwings rather than Harleys. You gotta love the species.

I wouldn't consider you a "yuppie" at all, in fact, you are as far away from being a Yuppie as it gets. To me the only "yuppies" that irritate me are the guys that have 2X the price of their bike invested in motor clothes. These guys have the Harley boots, socks, jeans, underwear, belt, Tshirt, jacket and vest(or both), doo rag, HD ear ring(s?), watch and sunglasses and they are wearing it all at 1 time. The same dude will have a HD F250 with 5 Harley stickers on the rear window and the Harley tag on the front bumper. His bike will not only be his 1st Harley but it will probably be his 1st bike and it will have less miles than the demo bike on the showroom floor. It will be clean though

I here you guys complaining about yuppies and other guys riding harleys at the different events. It made me wonder what category I fall into and what yall say when you see me cruise on by. Im a 26 year old vet with three overseas deployments two of which were in iraq riding a RKCustom all blacked out. Im a beach bum by nature so I always ride wearing my board shorts and some skate shoes with a t-shirt. I dont use the nice travel luggage I normally load up my ruck sack and cinch it down to my sissy bar. What the heck category is that?

The way I figure it you can be a Yuppie if that's what you want to be - you earned that. I served in the ASA back at the end of Vietnam and I sure hope we Americans treat you guys better than we got. I'm going to try to make sure of that - at least from my end. Thanks for serving so I can sleep at night and so I can go to church when I want and so my kids can choose the career they want. Thanks for keeping my freedom - even though it cost you. Thanks.
