I'm still 21!
I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious. -
Seriously, I have no idea what a biker is. To the studded leather clad hooligans, everyone is a sissy and not worthy of the bikers tag. To the responsible rider, the hooligans are just that, a bunch of hooligans and an embarrasement. To the damn care hippy who would ride out without a care for destination, others doesn't know the first thing about life as a biker. To those on 1000cc bikes, we perhaps are nothing much more than an amusement.
Me, I dont care what biker means or who a biker is. I maintain my bike well, I don my safety gear and I go where I meant to go.
If someone thinks I'm a biker. Ok. If someone thinks I'm not. Ok. If someone thinks I'm in between. Ok.
I'll still ride my ZMA happily. If I have more money, I'll buy a bigger one.Comment

I've Learnt something though i don't remember it now??
@El Loco-
Great stuff dude.i agree on each and every word though the bike also matters a lot though not as much as the rider.
@rennycornelius-
I don't find anything wrong with revving to the red line(The bike should be well maintained).Though i believe that you and the bike should deserve each other only then it might be possible.
Revving to the red line is not only a test for the bike but also for the rider.Hope you understand that someday!!
The bike is an extension of you (& your persona as a biker
).

@ EL LOCO DIABLO and rennycornelius Beautifully expressed guys, thanks for the wonderful writeup.
I guessed I should link this thread to other communities like orkut. Let the rest know who are "Bikers"?
I do agree and believe that a Bike and a Biker are two bodies with one soul mingled together when biking. As EL LOCO DIABLO has written, we come into contacts with different sorts of people where we learn, we teach and we converse, and we come to know of things we never knew. We therefore become more knowledgable, increases our self confidence and at the same time know ourselves better.
Just as Ladies loves shopping and are crazy for shoes, dresses and the rest, there are others who are deeply in love with Machines and gadgets. In the same way, Bikers are madly in love with their Bikes. Seriously, if I was to choose between a Hot Babe and a Hot Motorcycle, I would go for the latter, no doubt.
As rennycornelius had written, our biking grows with age just as our personality and thoughts. This is embodied in rennycornelius's writeup itself. Now, if you ask in general the meaning or an elaboration of "Spirit of Biking" or "Biking as a Lifestyle" from a newbie rider and an experienced rider, you will see and understand the differences between a "Biker" and a "Motorcyclist".
To me, it all started as a mean of transportation, to reach from point 'a' to 'b'. Then, I was only a "Motorcyclist". But as time went and as I met other passionate riders, I gradually realised how changed I am, how passionate I am for my Machine. Its hard to go a day without my bike just like the computer and the internet! It has become a part and parcel of my life-the inside of me that no one can ever take away except physical disability and my death! And now I know I am a "Biker" and not just a "motorcyclist".
Almost anyone can ride a motorcycle/scooter/scooty/moped and almost anyone can be a motorcyclist but not all are "Bikers", not all have the feeling of the true "Spirit of Biking" and not all motorcyclist take "Biking as a Lifestyle".
A Biker may be a Stunner, a Tourer, or a City Rider or a combination of all these. He may be anyone from anywhere. But he should know his machine, he should know its capabilities and limitations. He should never prefer Style or Show-offs more than Responsibilities towards himself and the other motorists and pedestrians.We all want to ride...
not just today or tomorrow...
but even in the years to come...
because "BIKING IS OUR LIFESTYLE".
Cheers!

When I'm with my parents, I am a son,
When I'm with my sister, I am a brother,
Some day, when I'm married, I'll be a husband,
When I have a child, I'll be a father,
When I'm with my motorcycle, I am a Biker...one of the many personas a man portrays...Comment
