Whos the real biker? |
I鈥檓 not a real biker. As I was coming out of the camp shower, dressed island style, a lady I鈥檓 met at the event couple of years ago told me, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e not a real biker, you鈥檙e not tattooed鈥? Odd, while watching bikes rolling out of pickup trucks and off of trailers, Saturday morning, I鈥檇 been wondering what had become of some of real bikers I鈥檇 met at the event. Guys like, Burnout, and his crew, who seemed to know how to make every second count. He couldn鈥檛 back a three-rail bike trailer worth a flip, but he could start a brush fire with the sparks that flew off of his Harley鈥檚 foot peg, in the corners. Instead, I meet this guy, tattooed all over, who starts telling me about his club over in 鈥淏ig City鈥?and shows me his club鈥檚 colors tattooed on his arm (never heard of them). He tells me that since I鈥檓 a biker (not noticing my lack of tattoos), I should attend his club鈥檚 event. Its only $125 per ticket. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e not going to hear some $150 blues band, the music is top drawer, Friday is 鈥楽inatra Night鈥欌€? The Harley dealer from my town will be there, being a fellow club member. Tattoo guy is also the lawyer who negotiated the deal between him and Harley-Davidson... Maybe this is the point where he noticed my eyes glazing over. Later, out under the stars, trying to have a fulfilling music listening experience, my ears are abraded by an annoying low frequency intrusion. Some Euro trash is entertaining his friends by lampooning a famous motorcycle club. Bad form. Don鈥檛 get me wrong; there were a lot of solid, unpretentious riders and passengers. These are people for whom a motorcycle is not a fashion statement, and who don鈥檛 use the word, 鈥渓ifestyle鈥? The gal who told me I鈥檓 not a 鈥渞eal biker鈥?is one of these. She and her husband (no spring chickens) ride a pair of 250cc cruisers 170 miles and camp out at the event. So she tells me, 鈥測our not a real biker, you鈥檙e not tattooed鈥? Then, I dropped my towel, and standing there, nekkid as the day I was born while her covetous eyes carressed m Sorry, running out of ink. Can鈥檛 finish. LOL yea i get that crap all the time. been ridin and wrenchin my own bikes for over 30 years and dont have no tatts. got some scars tho. now get some more ink and finish. I seem to be missing the point of this .... question? Gee...? What tha.......????? huh? I've been riding for over 30 years and have no tatoos, I guess I'm not a real biker...Ha....I'll be more than happy to show you my road rash scars, though.... Sorry, what is the question? Maybe you be telling your friends this story and not us. |
