Real Bikers…

…will drink warm beer.

…get wet when it rains.

…can sleep anywhere.

…do it on the road.

…are not in a hurry to get anywhere.

…accept the good, the bad and the ugly.

…have more that 2,000 miles on their bikes.

…don’t trailer their bikes to Sturgis

…don’t ****** into the wind.

…are not bullies.

…often get lost, but don’t care.

…don’t use valet parking.

…can ride to the 7-Eleven without putting on $1000 worth of leather and chains.

…don’t whine.

…will ride any brand of bike as long as it is big.

…can fix their own bike.

…listen.

…don’t take themselves, religion or life too seriously.

…will stop to help a stranger.

…are perhaps some of the nicest people you are likely to meet.

If you can think of any more please add to the list.

"…can sleep anywhere."

I guess I'm not a real biker. I have sleep apnea. I need a 110 outlet somewhere.

But this non-real biker rode today and only saw one other bike on the road (low 40s-50 at lunchtime, 32 on the way home this evening).

Otherwise I agree with the list.

Hi John,
Go ahead and join the "sleep anywhere" crowd. My CPAP has an optional DC adapter. I can plug it in my cigarette lighter after I'm through smoking for the day.

Real Bikers like free food
" " free gas
free beer
free * . *

Real bikers don't try to prove they are real bikers
Real bikers know that riding in the wind is much better than pissing in it
Real bikers know the shortest distance between to points is the wrong way to go

HAH! I used to think being regular meant you play a decent game of pool but, not too good, and bought a round once in a while. Then, I had to take the OL to some place and wait where they only had yupy and women magazines and found out it means you crap exactly on schedule.

cares more about how she runs than how she looks.
knows that silence is not a good thing
knows what a kick starter is (and how to use it)
knows the importance of a good boot
knows the importance of a good women
knows the differance between whiskey and gin
knows the differance between dark and light beers(and prefers the cheapest)
knows the importance of a B.F.H.(and what a B.F.H.is)
knows the differance between a 9/16 wrench and a pair of dogs(channel locks) but sometimes chooses one and should have chosen the other.
wouldnt be caught dead rideing a jap bike on the road.
knows the heritage and the legend that is Triumph!!!(and respects it)
dosnt care what YOU ride, but that you ride.

True craftsmanship is using the right wrench to pound in the correct screw.
