What's the difference between a biker and a poser? No punch line. Just curious to hear what some of you wiley veterans think.

Biker likes to ride. Poser likes to be seen.

bikers ride AND wrench their own rides. Posers talk about chrome.

I will admit I am on the edge of poser, but I don't like to think of myself that way. I do love to ride, and talk about biking. I don't wrench my own bike much, but I am learning. I think that's the biggest difference. Talking to a biker is talking to someone who's torn their bike apart and put it back together better than it was before. Posers have always been around. But now there are a lot, lot more riders every year. Is there any animosity towards new, poser bikers? Just tapping into the general feeling. I am a videographer and there's a documentary in here somewhere.

I am not a name, I am a number!

No... that's not right.

You guys should go to the Harley site I visit. They get pretty in depth on this subject. :wink:

Posers pretend to be bikers, bikers never pretend to be posers.
