The emperor has no clothes

Brenda said something the other day about being a "Biker Momma". I said we aren't bikers we are riders. I've been riding since I was 14 and have never considered myself a biker. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I consider a biker to be riding a Harley dressed in Harley garb and leathers. So I was wondering if you guys consider yourself bikers?

I call myself a motorcyclist. I ride virtually every day.
Snow, ice and freezing rain made me cage 14 work days this year.

I agree that "Biker" carries that negative connotation associated with our obnoxiously loud, leather clad brethren of the breeze. I get along with most of them, after they get their digs in about my brand of motorcycle.

"Biker" is open to interpretation. I belong to a club so some will
call me a biker. I don't ride a harley so some will say I'm not.
"Rider", as stated above, seems to fit just fine. I don't really
care if I'm a biker or not.
"Evolution" is a dying religion being kept alive with tax dollars.
