Really weird dude.
To all new riders just pass on these stupid videos like this just wear what you want don't go too overboard with the patches ( some patches will get you in trouble there's good videos on the subject ) just treat people with respect have fun and don't worry about people who think they are the experts on what being a real biker is because it's different things to different people. As a matter of fact don't even worry about being an outlaw just be a decent person that rides a bike you'll make a lot better friends and you'll live longer and better.
In my experience over many decades, the only posers out there not matter what it is are the ones who try and put others down because they think that it makes them look better. Guess what Princess? Everyone else thinks people like that are assholes.
I’m a super poser , thanks for making me release , gotta get some miles in , I promise I won’t say , Live to Ride , Ride to Live until I road across town without sweaty palms
I passed! I am not a poser! I just ride to ride. No specific place. Just wherever I stop. In fact, I haven't been to a bar or coffee shop and I don't own a trailer. I'm happy I'm not I'll. Thanks for the diagnosis 🤘🤘🤘
I wish I could. Lost my right leg last July, sold mine to pay the copay for my prosthetic. Saving up for a Can Am now, but still get on behind friends, or my wife, on hers. Throw the stump over, settle in, and get in the wind. Becauae it's not a matter.of life or dsath. It's more important than that.
OUCH! Sorry to hear about the missing limb. I have more than a few videos about folks still riding on 2 wheels - one is missing BOTH legs - don't give up!
@@MotoGiant trust me, surrender is not I'm my creed. The eventual plan is to be back on 2 again, even with an AKA of the right leg. Going to loo at a Honda NC700 auto on Monday, as incentive to get back on 2 again. Want the Can Am, or a Ural, for days that 2 is a bit much.
Wild Hogs was hilarious, but those dudes rode a 2000 miles cross country trip, one of them even rode that on a Sporty 1200. To me, they definitely weren’t posers, just not 1%ers.
Ur - erm I passed that lot. I was worried for my self esteem when I saw the title. I just ride when I can and commute when I can. But am I hard core…. Nope.
I ride a 1986 honda goldwing not because that's what I can afford but because I've always liked the look of a 86 goldwing. I ride it everywhere. I'll just go riding all weekend. I get posers bust on me, and I just shake my head and laugh. You hit the nail on the head about posers. Personally, I care what others ride. Just go and ride.
I had an 81 Interstate Goldwing, I rode it all over Oregon, even a trip to Montana, it was fast (145 at Warp speed, Scotty!), comfortable, nice looking, lots of niceties, good gas mileage, but damn, if I dropped it, could not pick it up. I rode it 15 years, didn't happen often.

Funny shit. And so true. I've riden all this country on a 86 goldwing and what I find funny is the Harley comedians with same old jokes. I see so many trailing there bikes too a bike event it's actually comical.
A lot of trailer queens, another reason why I don't attend any of the big rallies. To many that can't even ride but get liquid courage and think they're the best.
Well in my opinion about the trailered bikes. You have to talk to the people that do trailer and find out why they trailered. I've rode my bike to Sturgis multiple times and can truly say that I rode mine to Sturgis, however, the cost of most of the hotels and airb&B places during the rally is outrageous. I remedied that problem. I decided to start tent camping at Sturgis. It saves me a ton of money. Having Ol Lady with you requires more comfort when it comes to camping so in order to get a decent tent and all the other things like canopy and folding table etc, I decided to trailer so I can put all that camping gear on the trailer and in the bed of my truck. It's all about enjoying the rally but saving a shit ton of money in the process. These damn hotels jack their prices way up during the rally and taking advantage of the bikers during the rally. If I was by myself without an Ol Lady, I would ride with whatever I could get on my bike. Then you have the older bikers that have physical issues and have difficulty riding that far which is not the case with me but I have ran into several folks in that situation. They have been riding for many years but in their older age they are falling apart but still want to keep going. You do what you have to do.
I’ve ridden bikes for 40 years and just bought my first Harley, my wife bought me a leather vest which I like but then chaps arrived and I can not wear them cuz I would feel like a poser for sure, luckily they didn’t fit so I have time to creatively let her know chaps are not me. I love the Harley but sometimes I do feel like a poser until I pop it into gear and start riding then I don’t care, $45k for a motorcycle I can be whatever I want plus I can ride circles around almost anyone.
Poser is not about what you wear or ride, more about your state of mind. Only need to ask yourself a simple question: Am I riding for other people, or myself? If you don't care if others are watching, you pass the test.
I love these videos. I keep flunking them. Last time it was the gloves. Now it’s washing my bike! LOL. I’m gunna do an extra hundred miles for penance. Another 20 years and I’ll graduate to full rider! Rubber side down.
Tread carefully dude. I have a 250 cc Honda with an extended front end and a set of leathers that is color coordinated with my chopper paint. My BFF penciled a swastika on my neck with a sharpie. Nobody, I mean nobody, is going to call me a poser.
Forgot to mention in my other comment who cares about your feelings, my feelings, or someone else's feelings. Don't ask for people's feelings. One of my voices in my head is sad because the other voices are picking on him along with three of the 5 different personalities. They're all calling him a baby for being sad.
LMAO. 10. Nah, and I still got the stock seat on my bike. 9. I never get coffee at shops, overpriced. I make coffee at home. I dont have to ride to a shope to show off my bike anyways, damn thing draws so much attention that I sometimes wish it wasnt so pretty. 8. I ride across town all the time. bike is my only transport, no ride bike no going places. 7. No trailer. 6. Ah ok you got me here, I got ONE HD dealership shirt from a state ive never been too... beacuse it was free, and donated to me. 5. I wear out my tires before they expire for sure. 4. What in earth are farkles? 3. I often have no idea where to ride sometimes I just start the bike and... go wherever the road takes me. Sometimes I dont wanna go back home. 2. I barely wash my bike, even though its a pretty beautiful chrome adorned bike with beautiful paint. too lazy. 1. lol I giggled.
Not a poser here. Just a biker. I ride an Indian 111 Dark horse now. Started riding motor bikes around 10. As a kid in late 60’s kid saw 1% clubs on runs especially up around El Toro CA & into Trabuco canyon. Was intrigued by how happy they seemed. Yeh they were rough dirty looking not as clean cut as 1% riders I see today. Thinking many were real serious about freedom from “the man”. As a teen I bought & read Easy riders mag for decades. Lots of hot chicks to go with the cool bike pics. Looked hard into the process of joining a club but decided I did not need that to enjoy my ride. Got my first V Twin upon return from Gulf War. Rode it from East to West Coast. I ride to work year round. Icy roads & snow I avoid. I ride as Its my transportation. I have a truck for bad weather days. Posers to me are those that buy an Asian cruiser then tweek the exhaust to give that fake American V twin sound. Honestly more of the “Non caucasian” folks seem to be giving bikers a bad rap with their poser fake outlaw stunts. Just ride. Live and show Respect. Oh yeh I wash my bike once a month. When its dirty. A bucket to rinse it. A bucket of soapy stuff. A bucket to rinse. Leaf blower to dry it. My Dark horse has no chrome no need to shine anything. Years ago I visited the Harley museum.Those bikes had no chrome. They were ridden to work for work.Thats why I ride. Not because of a Marlon Brando or Dennis Hopper movie. My Grandfather rode scrambles (motocross) in the UK back in the 20’s & 30’s. During WW2 he escorted troop truck convoys around those village roads as the road signs were removed to annoy the Krauts if they invaded. Ride On. Watch out for the distracted drivers.
Got a few Wild hogs here in the UK trouble is most are silly old gits more than being wild . Im an old bloke but colours and cafe racing are the last thing i want . Most of my riding is done on a 125PCX not my cruiser.
In the Bay Area, CA, there's a simple 4-word test to tell if someone is a poser or a biker: "Let's ride to Coalinga." You see, there's no reason to go to Coalinga. There's nothing there. But the roads to get there, OMG: Hwy 25, a sportsbiker's dream road. Old Coalinga Road, a 50-mile long 1-lane goat trail. There's other options too. Poser: Ehh, I don't know, I think I'll lap the *$ parking lot a few more times and have another latte. Biker: Hell YEAH! Let's GO! Posers pose. Bikers ride. See you in Coalinga.
Wild Hogs (2007) - it is a MUST watch for ALL bikers. I love the movie because it starts out with posers that decide they want more than bike-night, and end up transforming themselves along the way.
I always chuckle as I’m sitting at a stoplight on a sunny cool day of 45 degrees on my rumbling Vulcan and a pickup pulls up beside me with his “Harley-Davidson” stickers on the back window and no bike in sight! (you might be a poser)
Not a ruder, but find these videos quite amusing,because even though I don't ride,I see these things all the time. I also find it hilarious with guys who think because they look the part-people will think their part of an MC. Until they get a well deserved beat down. 😁
Sir, I do take offense at the rule of farkles costing more than 1/3 the price of the bike. I got a very good deal on my bike, and it was a budget ADV bike that required numerous very legitimate and completely justifiable upgrades to optimize it for my future riding style. I plan on doing some serious trips at some time in the future and I want to be safe and comfortable when I finally make time to go on longer rides out of town. This reminds me of the Monty Python sketch about the accountant who wants to be a lion tamer, and he already has the hat that says "LION TAMER" on it. Also, he saw ant eaters at the zoo and mistook them for lions.
I do not remember the sketch you refer to. As far as farkles, I have no problem with comfort, ergonomics, etc. I am troubled by the crap that people staple to their bikes in lieu of putting mileage on the machines - I am certain I need to make a "mission statement" video, for all the folks that don't get what my mission is. Been thinking about something I can point to(or link to), for all the folks that really don't get my messages, or mistake them for anger, or personal attacks. Coming soon.
@@MotoGiant - You've alluded to your mission before, but expounding on that would almost certainly be a good video. I feel that I've watched enough of your videos that I've absorbed your mission and goals by osmosis... and I'm sympatico. I already wanted to take longer motorcycle camping trips before watching your videos. That was why I bought my bike over a year ago. Your videos are really setting the hook and reeling me in. I've reached the point in my life when extended motorcycle camping is becoming a realistic possibility. As you know, most of us have work and social obligations that tend to keep us in our little lives of quiet desperation. Even absent the big obligations, merely overcoming the inertia takes a lot of energy. The tragedy is, as we age, the work and social obligations fade but so does the energy needed to step out and make a big lifestyle change. I spent several hours last night doing online research of places I'd like to see in the southwestern US when I take The Big Ride. I'm old and my brain is weak, so I started a file on my computer with motorcycle places to visit, organized by state, with my own personal notes and links to online resources. It's an essential aspect to me making this trip into a reality. Thanks for the motivation, as well as the practical advice. I've also been thinking a lot more about my perfect motorcycle camping tent. This sort of imagineering is an occupational hazard for engineers. I made some camping equipment in the 1970s. I may need to do that again. If I had any mojo, I'd make it a business. As an integrated motorcycle camping system, there may even be ideas that could be patented but I've always avoided patents. Today's Thought: My bike uses tubeless tires. I can order a new tire on Amazon whenever needed and have it shipped to an Amazon locker that's very close to me, anywhere in the country.
We are all judging each other, all the time - we are humans...it's what we do. The real question is: Would you rather explain why your bike is dirty, or why your bike is spotless, with the nipples still on the tires? Answer that and you get another question!
I yearn for the day back when people minded their own business and didn't worry about what others were up to.

Oh, HELL NO!! Just ride somewhere else after coffee...besides home?
This is some funny stuff, and true facts!
i love that movie
Great video!
Funny shit. And so true. I've riden all this country on a 86 goldwing and what I find funny is the Harley comedians with same old jokes. I see so many trailing there bikes too a bike event it's actually comical.
A lot of trailer queens, another reason why I don't attend any of the big rallies. To many that can't even ride but get liquid courage and think they're the best.
@@slimpkl1809 the problem is they don't get it. It's really not about the event it's getting there and enjoying the ride.
Well in my opinion about the trailered bikes. You have to talk to the people that do trailer and find out why they trailered. I've rode my bike to Sturgis multiple times and can truly say that I rode mine to Sturgis, however, the cost of most of the hotels and airb&B places during the rally is outrageous. I remedied that problem. I decided to start tent camping at Sturgis. It saves me a ton of money. Having Ol Lady with you requires more comfort when it comes to camping so in order to get a decent tent and all the other things like canopy and folding table etc, I decided to trailer so I can put all that camping gear on the trailer and in the bed of my truck. It's all about enjoying the rally but saving a shit ton of money in the process. These damn hotels jack their prices way up during the rally and taking advantage of the bikers during the rally. If I was by myself without an Ol Lady, I would ride with whatever I could get on my bike. Then you have the older bikers that have physical issues and have difficulty riding that far which is not the case with me but I have ran into several folks in that situation. They have been riding for many years but in their older age they are falling apart but still want to keep going. You do what you have to do.
I passed. 2 sets of tires a year, at least... LOL! Video was funny though :)
10 signs , doing biker info
Love the humor in your video. But they still are facts.
Humor makes it easier to swallow :) and thanks for watching - make sure you check my OTHER funny videos, just put out another one this morning!
I’ve ridden bikes for 40 years and just bought my first Harley, my wife bought me a leather vest which I like but then chaps arrived and I can not wear them cuz I would feel like a poser for sure, luckily they didn’t fit so I have time to creatively let her know chaps are not me.
I love the Harley but sometimes I do feel like a poser until I pop it into gear and start riding then I don’t care, $45k for a motorcycle I can be whatever I want plus I can ride circles around almost anyone.
Poser is not about what you wear or ride, more about your state of mind. Only need to ask yourself a simple question: Am I riding for other people, or myself? If you don't care if others are watching, you pass the test.
Oh my gosh! Thanks you for the wonderful belly laughs! I wear leather motorcycle pants! I'm a poseur !
Glad you enjoyed!
I like bikes I can't physically ride them anymore by all means have fun
That intro is soooo funny I subbed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DAMNIT, IM A POSER. I DO KEEP MY BIKE CLEAN, GUESS I NEED TO GO THROW SOME MUD ON IT AND RIDE. 👍😎👍 THANKS FOR THE TIP FELLAS.
Right on!
I love these videos. I keep flunking them. Last time it was the gloves. Now it’s washing my bike! LOL. I’m gunna do an extra hundred miles for penance. Another 20 years and I’ll graduate to full rider! Rubber side down.
Tread carefully dude. I have a 250 cc Honda with an extended front end and a set of leathers that is color coordinated with my chopper paint. My BFF penciled a swastika on my neck with a sharpie. Nobody, I mean nobody, is going to call me a poser.
Oh, I would never do that to such a Cool stretched-out Choppah Dude !!
@@MotoGiant Thanks, you da man.
Forgot to mention in my other comment who cares about your feelings, my feelings, or someone else's feelings. Don't ask for people's feelings. One of my voices in my head is sad because the other voices are picking on him along with three of the 5 different personalities. They're all calling him a baby for being sad.
Do feel the need to ride to a bar but it's cause I want to drink 🤣
I feel that need too!
I thought that was half the fun
Cosplay
....and your a HELLS ANGEL ???
That will be in future videos...offering kits to be a REAL biker...no need to shop, just order the kit!
Bike maintenance and security is important to me. Im always concerned about the condition of the bike. Army brain 🧠. Attention to detail.❤
Let's go for a ride 🏍!!!
LMAO.
10. Nah, and I still got the stock seat on my bike.
9. I never get coffee at shops, overpriced. I make coffee at home. I dont have to ride to a shope to show off my bike anyways, damn thing draws so much attention that I sometimes wish it wasnt so pretty.
8. I ride across town all the time. bike is my only transport, no ride bike no going places.
7. No trailer.
6. Ah ok you got me here, I got ONE HD dealership shirt from a state ive never been too... beacuse it was free, and donated to me.
5. I wear out my tires before they expire for sure.
4. What in earth are farkles?
3. I often have no idea where to ride sometimes I just start the bike and... go wherever the road takes me. Sometimes I dont wanna go back home.
2. I barely wash my bike, even though its a pretty beautiful chrome adorned bike with beautiful paint. too lazy.
1. lol I giggled.
Whew! I passed the test. I'm glad there were no mentions of ATGATT.
More riding, less front'in.....the guaranteed cure to poseury !!
Nothin wrong with atgatt
Not a poser here. Just a biker. I ride an Indian 111 Dark horse now. Started riding motor bikes around 10. As a kid in late 60’s kid saw 1% clubs on runs especially up around El Toro CA & into Trabuco canyon. Was intrigued by how happy they seemed. Yeh they were rough dirty looking not as clean cut as 1% riders I see today. Thinking many were real serious about freedom from “the man”. As a teen I bought & read Easy riders mag for decades. Lots of hot chicks to go with the cool bike pics. Looked hard into the process of joining a club but decided I did not need that to enjoy my ride. Got my first V Twin upon return from Gulf War. Rode it from East to West Coast. I ride to work year round. Icy roads & snow I avoid. I ride as Its my transportation. I have a truck for bad weather days. Posers to me are those that buy an Asian cruiser then tweek the exhaust to give that fake American V twin sound. Honestly more of the “Non caucasian” folks seem to be giving bikers a bad rap with their poser fake outlaw stunts. Just ride. Live and show Respect. Oh yeh I wash my bike once a month. When its dirty. A bucket to rinse it. A bucket of soapy stuff. A bucket to rinse. Leaf blower to dry it. My Dark horse has no chrome no need to shine anything. Years ago I visited the Harley museum.Those bikes had no chrome. They were ridden to work for work.Thats why I ride. Not because of a Marlon Brando or Dennis Hopper movie. My Grandfather rode scrambles (motocross) in the UK back in the 20’s & 30’s. During WW2 he escorted troop truck convoys around those village roads as the road signs were removed to annoy the Krauts if they invaded. Ride On. Watch out for the distracted drivers.
Good one
Got a few Wild hogs here in the UK trouble is most are silly old gits more than being wild .
Im an old bloke but colours and cafe racing are the last thing i want .
Most of my riding is done on a 125PCX not my cruiser.
In the Bay Area, CA, there's a simple 4-word test to tell if someone is a poser or a biker: "Let's ride to Coalinga."
You see, there's no reason to go to Coalinga. There's nothing there. But the roads to get there, OMG: Hwy 25, a sportsbiker's dream road. Old Coalinga Road, a 50-mile long 1-lane goat trail. There's other options too.
Poser: Ehh, I don't know, I think I'll lap the *$ parking lot a few more times and have another latte.
Biker: Hell YEAH! Let's GO!
Posers pose. Bikers ride. See you in Coalinga.
THAT is a great story!
What scene did you use in the beginning of the video?
Wild Hogs (2007) - it is a MUST watch for ALL bikers. I love the movie because it starts out with posers that decide they want more than bike-night, and end up transforming themselves along the way.
@@MotoGiant yup, very funny movie!!
MX has the right term - Weekend Warriors. Not necessary posing though, just out to ride.
Not a lot of shiny MX bikes - sure there are flashy riders but like you said, they ARE riding!
I feel strongly about this video
i might wash it beforehand if i havent in a while
If you never ride below 50º, and/or put your bike away for the winter soon after Labor Day? Do you sneer at some riders because their bike is dirty?
Pretty sure we could get at least another 10 signs for the list?
I always chuckle as I’m sitting at a stoplight on a sunny cool day of 45 degrees on my rumbling Vulcan and a pickup pulls up beside me with his “Harley-Davidson” stickers on the back window and no bike in sight! (you might be a poser)
@@jhask64 I saw that a few months ago....woooooow.
@@jhask64 yeah, but while he’s warm and probably going to work he’s laughing his ass off at your rice burner. 😂🤣😂🤦♂️🇺🇸
If you are worried about what the next man is doing you are the real poser
Not worried, just observing
If your bike sits unregistered because you can't decide whether or not to sell it.
Not really posing, as you are not pretending. Sounds like you need to find some new friends? :)
Biggest poser move is standing up on an adventure bike for no good reason.
I am a biker, a badass one.. My busted gsxr in the back yard says so. Who knows when I will fix it. But I am a biker. That’s it.
Busted GIXTA or not - it's a lifestyle....as long as you LOOK the part!
Do you call other guys who ride less than you posers?
Nope. Not a role model, just a social critic. Did you test positive for more than a couple?
@@MotoGiant LOL, I see sarcasm is beyond your comprehension.
Not a ruder, but find these videos quite amusing,because even though I don't ride,I see these things all the time. I also find it hilarious with guys who think because they look the part-people will think their part of an MC. Until they get a well deserved beat down. 😁
Human behavior is fascinating, in all forms!
Yup or those dumb enough to put fake shit on their cuts or make shit up....
Sir, I do take offense at the rule of farkles costing more than 1/3 the price of the bike. I got a very good deal on my bike, and it was a budget ADV bike that required numerous very legitimate and completely justifiable upgrades to optimize it for my future riding style. I plan on doing some serious trips at some time in the future and I want to be safe and comfortable when I finally make time to go on longer rides out of town.
This reminds me of the Monty Python sketch about the accountant who wants to be a lion tamer, and he already has the hat that says "LION TAMER" on it. Also, he saw ant eaters at the zoo and mistook them for lions.
I do not remember the sketch you refer to. As far as farkles, I have no problem with comfort, ergonomics, etc. I am troubled by the crap that people staple to their bikes in lieu of putting mileage on the machines - I am certain I need to make a "mission statement" video, for all the folks that don't get what my mission is. Been thinking about something I can point to(or link to), for all the folks that really don't get my messages, or mistake them for anger, or personal attacks. Coming soon.
@@MotoGiant - You've alluded to your mission before, but expounding on that would almost certainly be a good video. I feel that I've watched enough of your videos that I've absorbed your mission and goals by osmosis... and I'm sympatico. I already wanted to take longer motorcycle camping trips before watching your videos. That was why I bought my bike over a year ago. Your videos are really setting the hook and reeling me in.
I've reached the point in my life when extended motorcycle camping is becoming a realistic possibility. As you know, most of us have work and social obligations that tend to keep us in our little lives of quiet desperation. Even absent the big obligations, merely overcoming the inertia takes a lot of energy. The tragedy is, as we age, the work and social obligations fade but so does the energy needed to step out and make a big lifestyle change.
I spent several hours last night doing online research of places I'd like to see in the southwestern US when I take The Big Ride. I'm old and my brain is weak, so I started a file on my computer with motorcycle places to visit, organized by state, with my own personal notes and links to online resources. It's an essential aspect to me making this trip into a reality. Thanks for the motivation, as well as the practical advice.
I've also been thinking a lot more about my perfect motorcycle camping tent. This sort of imagineering is an occupational hazard for engineers. I made some camping equipment in the 1970s. I may need to do that again. If I had any mojo, I'd make it a business. As an integrated motorcycle camping system, there may even be ideas that could be patented but I've always avoided patents.
Today's Thought: My bike uses tubeless tires. I can order a new tire on Amazon whenever needed and have it shipped to an Amazon locker that's very close to me, anywhere in the country.
So much to respond to - I will limit it to your tent remark - new video in the morning, it might interest you? I will address the other comments soon.
if you take offense to that. YOU ARE A POSEUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell is a farkles?
I’m driving couple months and don’t have any of this! Thanks God!😂
Good! - stay clear of the people that do!
Do you blip the throttle on your fuel injected bike at stop lights?

Failed #2 I love to wash my motorcycle
Ya know you can always wash it when you get back?
Some day I’m gonna be a Wild Hog. I hope they like me.
Hell no, none of those apply to me........well sometimes I suppose I do wash it for no reason, but my shrink says that's more of a fetish 😉
oh crap. I had at least 4 of them
Ya know, it is not too late to start riding?
Lol!....wait, oh shit...I actually wash my bike a couple times a year! Forgive me, oh Master of all nonposer bikeliness!
You are forgiven my son, say 3 hail mary's and go ride your bike, and tell no one of your transgressions
Haha! Good one Don 😎
Is it okay to wear a Mayans Mc hoodie with the logo in the back?Its a Tv show
Moto-Fashion is not my area, but I suppose if you are actually riding it is OK? Make sure you have a knife in case you get jumped!
@@MotoGiant I live In LA
@@juicee6716 Well that is Gangsta! Film your ride please?
Do you sneer at peeps who just way way way better riders than you?
I do not sneer, I watch them very closely. I try to learn from better riders. What do you suggest I do?
@@MotoGiant It was a rhetorical question for the general viewer, not directed at you. PS: You answered your own question anyway.
hadn't thought of it that way. poseurs. most riders on the road are poseurs. great video need more of this type.
meh, if you are RIDING, maybe not?
Too fucking funny man omg
I am a Navy Seals Green Beret Delta Force chef that is skilled I all things Dim Mak with my small toe.
I can't believe that movie it was so funny didn't they bathe naked with a cop
Does your trailer tires have more miles than your motorcycle tires 🤣🤣🤣
Well, after riding to Sturgis for 10+ years I do have to admit I trailer there now. Guess I'm a poseur
if the shoe fits....
After a long day riding I like to hit up a bar lol
makes two of us...
So if I like to ride my bike and have it look clean I'm a Poseur? If you ride and If you like Coffee doesn't mean your a Poseur.
Almost 100% of the time, if you question this video, you are probably a poser - riding MORE should take care of the infection?
#11 Do you blast rap music while pumping gas into your luxury motorcycle??
#11 Should be blasting 60' or 70's rock at a gas stations, bars or anywhere for that matter.
I have a coworker that blasts rap music before leaving. 🤷. I put my earphones in and just take off.....quietly
So now you can’t have a clean rig without some old timer with a leaky old pile judging you, 🤦♂️😂🤣
We are all judging each other, all the time - we are humans...it's what we do. The real question is: Would you rather explain why your bike is dirty, or why your bike is spotless, with the nipples still on the tires? Answer that and you get another question!
@@MotoGiant I don’t have a question, I wouldn’t presume to ask you a question- you’re simply not that interesting. 😂🤣🕺🏼💋
Just playing, ride hard- live free!
@@sventhorborsen7313 And you did not read my reply.
But but but…..I love coffee and leather!
Who gives a shit why you ride.. if you like it do it!
That was the point of the video - TO RIDE! I hope you got that point? Maybe go back and watch again if you missed it?
