Biker status

I bought my first motorcycle out of the sears catalog for about $350. I now ride on a Honda motor scooter most of the time. Does this qualify me for "biker" status?
 

By some standards............... But there are folks that have a weapon and call themselves hunters too........ It's what's in the heart that counts.....
 
from what I have seen:

there are bikers and "real bikers"

real biker breaks top off the beer bottle on guardrail bolt and drinks the beer before the glass settles

real biker rides all winter

real biker has huge stomach to grip the tank

helmets are there just for the police to look at

only one bike is worth riding
 
Theres a biker "boogie" near my home each year and I tell people "Real" bikers carry switch blades and chains lol. I have fun with them when I go to the convenience store (beer n ice) where they hang out, when I walk past I ask "Youre not gonna pull your switchblade and mug me are you" they always laugh and say no I can pass and I tell them I done locked up the wife n daughter. While they tend to drink copious amounts of adult beverages (barley soda) they arent a bad bunch when theyre in the neighborhood, I have helped them with bike troubles and offer water and compressed air down by the road near my shop (wife n daughter still locked up though lol)

Take care yall

John T NOT a biker butttttttt if I were it would be a Harley you can be sure of that
pst
 
I developed some admiration for "real" bikers back in the early '70's when a group of Hell's Angels broke up an anti-war demonstration in New York.
 
Around here you have to move drugs, move girls to big cities for strip clubs and massage parlours and generally get other wanna be bikers to do your more petty crime work for you.

You also do things like have fun runs and such to improve public relations.

Your day job ranges from accountant to mechanic to tow truck driver to whatever. No particular look about you.
 
That could be a yes no or maybe thing. Sort of like tractors and some people think a riding lawn mower is a tractor and some think other wise so what do you think. Ya you may not be in the cruiser class or the over the road class but your still in a scooter class and to me they are all scoots
 
Best way to find out is to try to assimilate yourself into the next group of Harley guys you see at a rest stop.

Let us know how that works out for ya.
 
So acknowledged drug traffickers and murderers become patriots by breaking up a protest? That's really nice.

The incident in question happened in Berkley, CA, not NY, California being home base for the Hell's Angels. And what actually happened isn't so simple.

The fact that you bought your "cycle" and didn't steal it disqualifies you from attaining biker status.

It's so easy to steal one. Just follow the motorcycle home and note where it is garaged. Make a second trip when the owner is not home on a rainy day or during the night and roll it away.

I had two Harleys stolen during the '70s.
 
Anybody see Sons of Anarchy on FX? I'm not a biker so just wondering if the show is accurate. A little violent for me to really enjoy.
 
I'm 'retired' from outfit that was accused by police of stealing 3 police motorcycles one season- one from police garage. A few other incidents of talking to police-and grand jury-about what some of riding buddies may have done. Currently riding Goldwing, still say howdy to couple skull and crossed piston buddies. RN.
 
Two guys I served with in Nam have been in the Hell's Angles ever since they got back. They stop by my place a few times each year. They always made fun of my "Cows" and garbage hauler. LOL

I used to have several motorcycles but have not rode in over ten years. Had a few friends that got hurt real bad on bikes. SO until the kids where out of the house I quit riding. Now with the grand Kids coming along I sold all of my bikes. Have been thinking about a trike but more than likely not.
 
Stood in front of the Hell"s Angels Headquarters in Oakland last week. This was on a Monday. I was told by a friend from Oakland, you don"t do that on the weekend. They have their own sidewalk bench. You don"t sit on it if you aren"t an Angel. I"ll take his word for it.
