So.....Are You a "Biker" or a "Rider" ?

suzuki madura in a few shots i thought but i'll check again... timebombs...raisng arizona comment.....edit...i swear in a few of the action shots it was a madura....i used to remember this stuff trivia.....they would swap bikes in all the hollywood stuff and figure the public is just gonna see a bike and not notice the substitutes in some scenes.....there was an old 87 taco bell add that i saw get filmed in the desert for a few minutes and they had an ascot 500 and a 883 and in the comercial you could barely tell when it jumped a creek....it was the ascot and not an 883......madura..shadow....tomato..tamatoe...

oh you mean the fashion concious crowd....yeah they even know enough about their bikes and bike history that you can often have a two minute conversation with em...if you overlook the errors in the stuff they say......looks good on paper so i'll repeat it types.....the flowing hair,the robes,,gunga ..gunga la din......on my deathbed i'll recieve total conciousnessMentalMike wrote:

trianglelaguna, I'd say you got the Biker part right, but to me, these are Riders.

yeah rider there for sure..........whats he grimacing for ?????does he have a lug nut in his mouth....or is that a humming bird he's flavoring.......hope mcloud does not see him wearing his gloves...he may tell fonzie about the pants and jacket he stole too....heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...richie.....potzie.....heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

i dont know what it was for you guys. but i can still remember the first time i seen a z model at the gas station i was on a 02 ninja he was on a 70s model kz 900..we talked for an hour about that bike...then i traded mine to a guy that found a 1978 kz650 in a barn..which is now my baby..this doesnt really fit this forum but i wanted to share

So here I was thinking "I'm not a Biker" because I got no devil tattoos, I don't wear the silly "outlaw" costumes, I don't care for choppers or bikes adorned with skulls, I don't get drunk and roar around the neighborhood on a Harley with straight pipes, etc.

Given the 2 choices, the process of elimination says I must then be a "Rider." To confirm this, I got on the internet to see if I am correct. So I lookup "motorcycle rider." I get the following picture at the "Motorcycle Rider Club of America (MRCA)" and I'm feeling pretty good about the label I stuck on myself:

MRCA

Heck, I even recognize the bike and the owner's ID. But, being the careful type I decide to doublecheck. So I go to the "Motorcycle Rider News" site where I find a sample of typical "mototcycle rider" women folk.

Now I'm thinking I'm not a biker or a rider. Maybe I'm just a guy named Ed that loves motorcycles. Ed

The second from the right looks to be the pick of the litter. :woohoo:

The second from the left looks like a "choppa-dick-off-a-me" in progress. :ohmy:

BTW, Ed, you might be a motorcyclist. It seems like a reasonable title to me.

I'm gonna pop one!!

I wouldn't let my dog sleep with any one of them. Pass around Biker Chicks...Russ

the second from the left looks like a dude,
ive got a question- is the early 90s zrx considered a member of the z family?
