Question:
I don't think that taking a harley out for a (slow) trip to the local pub every other weekend when the weather is good is means to call yourself a "real" biker.
Is there a biker gang called the Mountain Men in New Hampshire or anywhere else?

A real biker is someone who rides in all conditions, except snow or ice, and is never hungry, due to the bugs he swallowed while riding. He can ride for hours on end without stopping and his face is wind burned all the time from riding. He can fix his own bike if it breaks down and does not necessarily ride a Harley.What is the best scooter for getting me to work - I need to drive about 25 minute radius from home.?
To me a real biker is someone who just rides for the love of riding. They love everything about bikes and aren't too bothered what they ride as long as it's well maintained. They don't wear all the brand name clothing and aren't bothered about the image. Also it's someone who knows their bike inside out and does all their own spannering.How hard is it to change out the speedometer on a 2000 883 harley sportster?

I ride a sportsbike in all weathers all year round and fix everything myself but wouldn't really call myself a biker, i'm just a bloke that rides a bike. If i had to choose, car or bike for the reast of my life, then it would be a car.
A real biker rides no matter what the weather condition; he's the guy with bugs in his teeth from the happy smile he's got while up on two wheels. He usually rides a Harley, and his hands and ears are usually chapped from wind, rain, cold, heat, and sun exposure. He treats his bike better than his woman and nods or smiles when he pulls up next to you at the stoplight. While you're sitting there, envious of his "kachunk-kachunk" exhaust note, he's looking at the cage you're riding and and saying to himeslf, "No way!"
I should think a "real biker" as you put it would need nothing more than . a bike! Who cares what others think , its normally just jealousy anyway. If youv'e got a moped and you call yourself a biker so be it, why would it bother anyone else. But yes I know it does or you wouldn't be asking this question, frankly there are far more important things in life than worrying bout whether people see you as this or that.

A real biker is someone you always see on their bike, rain or shine! A real biker don't care what you ride as long as you ride! A real biker is not always pushing their opinion of what bike is best, or is the "only" kind of bike. You never hear a real biker cutting down another brand of bike. A real biker wants to be on their bike as much as possible. A real biker has a good head on his shoulders and is just an all around good person inside under those ragged,worn leathers. A real biker rides for the freedom and feeling it gives you, not just to be part of a group or look good!
I can tell you who isn't:Anyone who believes that the brand name on a bike matters,Anyone who has uttered the poseur classic"Get a real bike",Anyone who isn't smart enough to take their truck when riding is just to show off(I'm guilty of this one).Real bikers rarely call themselves Bikers,that is best left to the criminal gangs.
What is a "real" biker? Well lets look at this. I have been on two wheels for over forty years. Does that make me a biker? Not really. I have owned damn near every make and model of motorcycle made. Does that make me a biker? Not really. I have crashed on a motorcycle a couple of times and lived. Does this make me a biker? Not really. So what makes me a "real" biker. Well, I am fiercely independent and will fight to the death for your independence also. I deplore hatred, bigotry and intolerance as do the "real" bikers I know. I help when and where I can and stand up for those who have trouble standing on their own. Freedom and its responsibilities mean everything to me and for me to be free I will fight for "your" freedom as voraciously as my own. For if you lose yours, mine could be next. I am a loyal and true friend because I want you to be my friend. And every minute spent with friends only extends my life. Life is fleeting. You learn this from the saddle of bike when your life is put in jeapordy by someone caring only about their place and importance on the road. Your learn to observe life, and care for it. It makes you a better biker and a better human being. Its not the bike you ride ,or the beer you drink, or the clothes you wear. Madison Avenue would have you believe this. Those things mean little if anything. Every "real biker" I have had the pleasure to have known had one thing in common. It was never "I", it was always "Us". The fact that these people rode a motorcycle, or did not ride, did not matter. They had the "real biker" spirit. Independance, honesty, loyalty and caring. So even if you don't ride, but you are what I just described, welcome "bro". You are a "real biker". I Bid You Peace.

Trying to tune my 2005 Kawasaki 600rr?
Neither does doing the same thing on your Yamaha. That's why I hate rubbies so much. Every HD rider gets classified as one. Yeah, I barhop on my 55 pan chop sometimes. I also ride my garbage wagon 1000 miles in one day sometimes. You wont see me wearing any official HD "Motorclothes" or anything with an HD logo. You will never see me in a Harley dealership unless its for something I can't get anywhere else. As far as I'm concerned its FTF and 20 grand and 20 miles does not make you a biker.2004 Kymco ZX50 de-restriction?
I was about to give my 2cnts on your over asked question in this forum, but Scooterdude beat me to it. His is the best "real" answer you are looking for.a real biker. wow. there aren't many of us left. we are the backbone. we stand up to be counted. we don't care about being"normal" cause we aren't. we aren't afraid to get dirt under our nails. we know how to have fun. we have compassion. we love the open road. we enjoy seeing other people ride and shareing that feeling that we have no matter what they ride. we are the people that opened the eyes of the less spirited and showed them how and that it's alright to have fun. we bring our rides into our liveing rooms in the winter to fix,paint,baby,polish,and just to admire a beautiful piece of machinery that we built and brought back to life with our own two hands. it all most feels like a doctor must feel after delivering a baby, the first time you kick that pedal, it takes its first breath and roars to life,you twist that throttle and it responds, it's almost better than sex. we are passionate about our life,loves, and most have very strong morals and convictions. ask a biker about his bike. if he tells you about how he built it you know he's for real. if he tells you how much it cost and where he bought it, well you decide.
Whats the diffirence in these 2 dirt bikes.?
a biker in my opinion, is anyone who loves and rides bikes. with the exception of mopeds, (not including lambrettas and vespas here) anyone who rides 2 wheels has my respect. im a poor guy, ive had 3 bikes, and im only 20 years old. ive had an RG 125, a GPZ500 and ive just bought a GSX600F. i payed never more than 400 quid for any of them. i dont have a pretty shiny new bike, i dont have expensive one piece leathers, but i do have a bike licence, a bike, and one ******* hell of a passion for riding.i count myself as a real biker. hell yeah

How much is a motorcycle repairman get paid on average?
well,I guess I'm not a real biker even though I've been riding for 30+ years on the road and probably 6 or 7 years on dirt bikes before that.I try to show respect for all other riders no matter what they ride or their riding habits.If they are broke down on the road I stop and help.I'll even stand and fight for them if needed.I,ve made rides across the country in all directions.the last long one was from Texas to Ohio,23 hours straight through only stopping for fuel and food.I,ve road in rain,sleet, and snow but I prefer sunshine.But ...I don't own a pair of chaps,have no tattoos,and I like to take a 4 minute ride to the coffee shop from time to time.This keeps me from being a biker.It makes me a Poser.What is the minimum width of a wheel needed for a 200mm tire to be mounted on it.?

His bike, his helmet, and his clothes were scuffed and covered with, what looked like, years of road dirt. If I ever seen a biker, I would have to say it was him.In texs what do i need to register a motorcycle?
A real "biker" is a special type of person that owns his ride, and uses it as his main means of transportation on an everyday basis. He or she prefers the wind in their hair and the pavement under their feet, the sense of freedom and responsibility of sharing the roads with friends and strangers as apposed to someone in a cage. Has a sense of pride in what ever they ride, and the surroundings of where they ride to. doesn't need an excuse to ride but makes excuses to ride. He or she also has a sense of respect for others of the 2 wheel race and should be with out prejudice but understanding that we all are different but so much alike. They also find them selves leaning into corners, and doing the secret wave when diving their cage. They also have an urgency to help a out of commision rider in distress.To me a real biker is one that lives the life style,not a wannabe who is out to be something he or she is not.I ride year round and average about 65,000 miles a year,the make of the bike really does not matter.I also work on my bike myself and treat it better than if I had a baby,for the bike is my baby.

It's not about when you ride.

It's not about how far or how fast you ride.

Aren't Harley Davidson motorcycles smashing?
I was told once by someone who has ridden for the past 30 yrs that you aren't a real biker unless you ride like he & his buddies in Vegas, from bar to bar, having 1-2 drinks or shots, for 9-10 hrs. doing this about every couple of hours. Because he did this, I refused to ride with him on the back & he said I'm not a real biker if I don't do this so I agreed with him, told him to take his opinion & stick it where the sun don't shine. I guess that saying is right, opinions are like aholes, everybody has one! As long as you are cool with yourself & who you are, who cares what anybody else says or does!!Somone who rides for the love of riding, not for the image that comes with it.

What is the e-mail of Valentino Rossi?
We have much in common. I ride my hybrid year around in allweather. Though street legal I like riding into mountain woods
looking for limestone potholes and my rear rack carries pick axe,
shovel, and wood saw for that purpose. Looking down from the
mountain top I see packs of mama's favorite pushing chrome and heavy iron along asphalt behind the pick-up hauling cow manure or soccer mom in her SUV. Are those fair weather feathered, leathered, and tethered really 'bikers' too?
