"Poser" venting

[barncat]

I am not siding with the "poser". I ride off-road as well, and our "poser" following is MUCH larger than the MC cult(all the Fox,MSR,Thor,Fly etc. gear). I fully understand where the OP is coming from.
My point is, in a sense this "poser" ruined the OP's day, but not enough that he would say something. If "poser" was that much of an issue, guy should have stopped beating around the bush, and called him out. Other wise, live and let live.

the OP did say something..

He said it was too cold to ride the bike and came in his car,,,so I told him " hey pal ya didn't pay your dues (ride in the cold like the rest of us) so step away from MY BIKE and have your picture taken next to your car, short, to the point, and yes calling him out ..just sayin

And why is that? Are we to adhere to some sort of biker code that dictates what days we ride, how often, what we wear and such? Hmm, well weekends or days off from work are normally the only time I get to ride. Work and school days I'm hauling the wife to work and kids to school in the Suburban. I would ride 24/7 if I had no responsibility to others. So what's wrong with that I ask? Just curious, that's all.

I drive a company Van all week and dont commute to work as my Van is my Commute to my Jobs straight from my House.I couldnt ride my Bike to work unless I was Off and drove to the Office for Shits and Giggles.

Now, if I were in an operating room waiting for an operation, and a guy posing as a brain surgeon came walking in, then I would have to say something.

Which furthers my point, live and let live. The problem was addressed, why come here to perpetuate the anger? He says he squared off, then problem solved. This could turn into a Freudain argument, but I'll save that for someone who truly gives a s*it.

Or perhaps a woman in a car being pulled over by someone posing as an officer.. then again maybe she would not get the chance to say anything..posers suck

I would have taken off my jacket, do-rag, chaps, gloves and posed by the car for pictures!

Not saying there is some sort of code you should abide by, and I understand if company vehicles or wife/kids prevent you from riding. It's the guys that claim they 'live to ride, ride to live' and COULD ride every day but don't. It's the guys that wanna play dress-up on the weekends. The guys that are into it for the image (which hd totally sells the crap out of) and not the actual enjoyment of riding. The guy with the '07 decked out full dresser with 2,000 miles on it. That's a poser.

It wouldn't have bothered me in the least.
