I don't want offend anyone,but the way I look at it is if you paint you're a painter,if you plumb you're a plumber, if you bake you're a baker and if you bike you're a biker. I can't understand why some people can't figure this out. And If you can afford a 20 Thousand Harley you can ride one. If you can only afford a 10 Thousand Honda that's fine to. A very good freind of mine who rides and spent years trying to talk me into getting a bike says he wouldn't buy a "jap" bike but drives a Honda mini van and his wife drives Toyota. Think about that one for a while.

IMO, too much time and energy is wasted trying to "categorize" people for what ever reasons. I ride because I like to ride, my choice is a harley but I am not looking to be called a biker.
Why are only people that ride harleys referred to as bikers? If you ride a honda or other brand, these people aren't bikers?

Every time I see the term "biker" and the ensuing posts that try to define the word, It makes me laugh at just how narrow minded some people are but that's JMHO.

I can go along with Glider, in that, I drive a truck for a living. So, some would call me a trucker. I'm not fond of the term, but that's my opinion. Most of us on here drive pickups. Does that make you a trucker, as well? I own a Schwinn bicycle. Does that make me a biker? You pose for a picture or hang with a bunch of 1% ers. Both posers? Possibly. It's all a matter of what your lifestyle and attitude are. If you swagger around and wear leather and terrify children and old women but have no motorcycle or a metric, most would say "Yup...poser". It's all about attitudes, lifestyles, opinions, and first impressions. None of which are usually very reliable and all of which are subjective. So, let's just forget the labels and stick with " Yup, that's a good person" or "Nope, that's a bad person". I relinquish my time on the soapbox.

I retired..was 58 and got a wild hair up my ..you know what!..After attending a Vietnam Vet reunion and seein 7 guys come ridin up on their harleys..I thought ..Holy Moely how cool is that!!!!.So when I returned home to Mo. let a month slip by ..and ask my wife ..hey "what would you think if I bought a Harley"...needless to say she questioned my sanity..and expressed it by sayin are you (edited) crazy?..Since then 2004 we've put over 42,00 miles on her ( her being the bike )from sea to shinin sea so to speak...I have had my pics takin with touriest from other counties..and even let em sit on the old lady ( the bike that is )...but the bottom line is we don't belong to a hog chapter..too many politics ..we do belong to the PGR..and we love the wind in our face..we just a couple of old folks who love to have fun...meet new friends...and really lov findin new places to eat..seem we do lots of that..lol so whats that make us????Don't know ..don't care...we love to Ride so hey wait thats it we're riders...lol
