Do you consider yourself a biker or a Motorcyclist

Hadn't thought about this for ages.

Been a hellraiser in the past had the hair cuts, got various scars tattoos and the record to show for it. Responsible piller o society now with the job, house and family although I make sacrifices to make sure I have a nice bike.
I like nice cars as well as bikes but choose to spend my hard earned on keeping the best bike I can afford and drive an old diesel car (worst car in the car park at work doesn't bother me none:)
Living in the the North of Scotland I ride all year but I'm not risking my baby through all the salt and shit they thow over the roads just to get to work.
I'd rather not get pissed out my tree the night before a run these days cause I want to enjoy everyminute of it without feeling like shit.
I just bought a new set of leathers but they still have to be black. Most of my real friends are musicians and or ride bikes. If youve got an open mind I'm up for a craic end of...:beer:

Is a lunp
after thinking about what riding i have done in the past year, i now do not consider myself a biker, if fact i aint even a motorcyclists i am a commuter ......sometimes in fact i even sometimes wonder why i still visit here as i rarely ride the bike anymore at all.


but then i remember that a biker is about the life style etc etc and i def come to the conclusion that i commute sometimes on a motorcycle. where in fact i should be on a cg125, because that could do all i need from 2 wheels.


hhmmmmmm..........

Today I'm a pedestrian. My wheels are stripped and being powder coated in chrome. Then new Avon's are waiting to go on with a rear wavy disc and new bearings courtesy of Mr JAWS.

When she's back on the road I'll be both a motorcyclist AND a biker, depending on my mood, the traffic and the road conditions. It's nice to blow off some steam from time to time, but also good to have a steady bimble enjoying the scenery and the gentle flow of life! (Oh oh, Steamy's getting all hippy - quick, pick a fight someone!!!):p
