After all it woulda been a silly name for a shite film wouldn't it i.e. "Motorcyclist Men"!

Ride past B. Stop and offer help C. Shout something ammusing as you ride past If you answered :- A. your a motorcyclist. B. Your a biker. C. Your a twat. Though to be fair neither a nor c would be riding home in the pouring down rain.

A motorcyclist rides a BMW and is a member of the IAM ;-) Just my stereotypical opinion. Cheers Grim

Motorcyclists are those nice chaps who ride scooters, rebuild Velocetes, possibly stop for a cup of tea and a scone in a nice scenic village and never break a law. A vicar with a Piaggio may be a motorcyclist, yes, I think so. Or thats what the public think. Oh, are those with L plates still bikers as allot of people tend not to acknowledge their existence when on the road? I prefer the term biker, makes me seem harder. GRRRRRRR!!!!

They are only concerned with the next ride and whats going on in their world....not to be rude, but it is that way for them and since I was able to live that life for many years...it was outstanding and fun all the time, good folks and great events. And one other note also, is that they didnt give a hoot about how they looked, cause they were too busy enjoying the moment and ride...... A motorcyclist is someone who owns 1 or more bikes that enjoys riding, but holds many other values in life as well. not to be faulted for this, but their lives revolve around what they have created environmently, and the motorcycle is secondary to their life. They usually have other responsibilities that take presence over riding and they choose to not ignore those obligations and ride when they can. and one other note also, is that they are more concerned on how they look and others look with them.....and they are usually loaded with all the harley shop accessories brought cause it looked good. new vests verus old worn ones with patches from fallen brothers. I am not trying to sound mean when saying this, but it is a version of what its like to live in both worlds....I would take the old biker days over the new motorcycle days.... cause back then you knew what you were about and doing it, not just living a dream from the back of your mommas station wagon...as the old crusty biker dudes ride by, with his outstanding looking ol lady and the bike roars by speed and grace.... Important note: most of the bikers did their chrome as they went, much due to the expense, motorcycle riders just brought the bikes that way... Sorry if I offended anyone, but it is my opinion and in this country....birth entitles me to speak my opinion, thanks for taking the time to read it.

As he sat sipping his jack daniels, a beautiful young lady sat down next to him. She turned to the biker and asked, "Are you a real biker?" He replied, "Well, I've spent my whole life on bikes. My Mum was pregnant with me when she rode on the back of my Dads bike, then as a little boy I rode on the back with my Dad until I finally got my own bike. I've been riding a bike ever since. So yes, I guess I am a real biker." She said, "I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women; when I shower, watch TV, eat, whatever, everything seems to make me think of women." Then she got up and left. The biker was thinking about what just happened when a man sat down next to the biker and asked, "Are you a real biker?" He replied, "I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian"
