Biker culture and introspection

 Why do I own a Harley – Besides being fun, they are sturdy,  they have spirit , they have great low end torque , because you can always build it up ,Fix it, rebuild it , there are multitudes of places selling parts , and its Americana, and I’ve always have. They have soul.

Why do i wear a leather vest? It provides some additional protection, its extra pockets and convenient, more comfortable in hot weather, but yes - it is traditional gear where one can display their ride / event pins and patches to show pride for events they have attended , most times to identify oneself and the group they belong to. Being proud of your vest should not be confused with “Acting like a badass”.

What is benefit of riding with a group?  It’s fun to ride along with other bikers, to share and mutually support a sport and lifestyle we love. For solidarity and support on the road.

What is a 1% er / Clubber – a biker who belongs to an outlaw MC motorcycle club who’s primary function is to ride together, but may include other activities? Usually have 3 patches and a small MC patch on back panel of vest. 1% designation is not statistical but symbolic of an early statement made by ama.

What is a Biker? A person who loves riding and or wrenching motorcycles (term biker is usually associated with American made motorcycle riders) this person has a certain style ( road worthy type of person who lives a lifestyle)

How come your leather jacket looks so new, if you were a REAL biker it would be worn out”. Ok dumbASS, its called taking care of your stuff,  try it some time instead of buying some designer “ worn in look” crap so you can look every bit the role of sons of anarchy , lone biker of the apocalypse sitting  in your lazyboy… also imo a leather is gear for riding, not wearing often when you’re not riding – its not meant to be a fashion statement.

A Barfly with a motorcycle doth not make a “biker” – yet some put down others if they don’t go to biker bars and are out riding instead .
