![]() Well, that all depends on who you’re talking to. Which leads us to the obvious question: Just what is a “real biker?” But some of the examples that I’ve heard are as follows:ġ) If you wear a lot – or ANY – clothing with “Harley-Davidson” written on it, you’re a poser.Ģ) If you wear a leather vest that doesn’t have the three-piece club colors of a recognized motorcycle club on it, you’re a poser.ģ) If you ride a metric bike – a Japanese bike – you’re a poser.Ĥ) If you buy a bike and ride it only on weekends or around town, then you’re a poser.ĥ) If you’re just not considered to be a “real biker,” then you’re a poser. Never mind the fact that maybe the so-called “RUB” has a full-time job which prohibits him/her from riding anytime other than on a weekend that line of thought involves common sense and logic, and that just doesn’t work here.Īnd I won’t even try to define “poser.” The variations of that term are so broad and numerous as to defy description. ![]() This term is most often used by “real bikers” to describe people who are “rich” (which means they have more money than the “real biker” does), buy a bike, and ride it only on weekends. Take, for example, the biker-related labels of “poser,” “RUB,” and “real biker.” Most of the time the first two are used as a derogatory term applied by members of the last term when describing someone who rides a bike and doesn’t fit their self-styled idea of just what a “real biker” should be.įor clarity’s sake, “RUB” stands for Rich Urban Biker. It’s my opinion and I’m entitled to it, and if you don’t like it, then stop reading my blog. ![]() I know I’m gonna piss some people off with this, but ya know what? I don’t care. I don’t necessarily hate the people who use labels, mind you – some of them are good folks who just have a different opinion than mine – but I absolutely abhor labels. I hate labels almost as much as the narrow-minded, immature, and irrational logic that gives birth to them.
