Interesting.Welcome.:sofa:Rub a dub scrubs, posers, yuppies
What ever you want to call it. I think it’s nuts that anyone anywhere anytime cant wear what they want. The idea that a real biker doesn’t wear HD clothing etc… is ridiculous.
For me I hate to shop, don’t go to the mall don’t go to walmart. When I buy clothes though I tend to buy stuff that represents my interests. So you might see me wearing a HD shirt, a NASCAR Shirt, a NHRA Shirt, a Fender Guitar Shirt, a Hendrix Shirt, Bob Dylan Shirt, Red Sox Shirt…….. …………………… Does that make me a Rub a dub scrubs, posers, yuppie I don’t know and don’t really care. Often the shirt I am wearing sparks a conversation with someone I dont know.
I might as well buy clothes that show what I am into then buy no name stuff that is blank. To me clothes are an opportunity to express your interests. So to wear a blank shirt because you are really in to HD is like retarded. My first leather jacket was plain because that was all I could afford, but I always wanted a HD Jacket.
What’s wrong with that? Get a life man........

I also wore Harley-Davidson attire before I owned a H-D. Put it on my Christmas list from the wife and kids.
Finally one night while out for dinner my daughter said to me "Dad, you should buy a Harley since you always wear those type of clothes". I expected a "No Way" from the wife but she stayed silent.
At that point I knew I was getting close to buying my first Harley. Thanks Harley-Davidson for supplying me with so many subliminal messages to wear.
Oh, and one last thing; my metric ALWAYS ran better when I rode it while wearing a Harley T-shirt.

Hows this
Does this mean I'm a Biker now......So I guess I shouldn't wear my Lacoste or Polo shirts when I ride my Harley?
Heck, I had a Harley hat and shirt even before I had a Harley. What in the world was I thinking?

If you do not have breasts and legs up to your neck,
I could give a rat's behind what you wear...I care that your ride.
What ever you ride...HD is coolest but all bikes are cool.

People who get "irritated" over people that they have decided are RUBs, Posers, BUBs, pretenders, or not really "bikers" by their definition basically need to get over themselves and find something more constructive to get emotional over. Enjoy your own choices and experiences and let others do the same. I don't care what someone wears if they own a bike or not. I don't care if someone buys a bike and parks it in the garage and never rides it, just to enjoy looking at it and owning it. It's their money and their experience. If it irritates me, I have the problem, not them. Live and let live. Period.

Wear what youre comfortable in and forget it Don t listen to the hype Its all about enjoying the ride
I ran across this piece a few years ago....it seems to fit with the current discussion.
Biker T-shirt spotter’s guide
Have you noticed the huge increase in the number of people that wear “biker” T-shirts these days? It’s gotten to the point of being damn near impossible to tell who’s really a biker, and who isn’t. Well, almost impossible. That is, if you know what to look for and interpret the T-shirts you see. Here, let me help. If you have no sense of humor, though, you best look away.
Harley-Davidson dealership T-shirts:
OK, this is a sure giveaway that the wearer is not a biker. Christ Almighty, Dudley Perkins has a T-shirt shop set up on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco! This is getting to be the norm. H-D dealership T-shirts have now sunken to the level of tourist schlock. Only 100 percent genuine posers wear H-D dealership T-shirts.
Generic “biker” design T-shirts:
You know, the kind they sell at gas stations or Kmart? Laden with lots of superficial and cliche biker slogans like “Live to ride, ride to live,” etc., etc. Excuse me while I go and throw up...
H.O.G. event T-shirts:
You have to be kidding, right? Need I waste any ink on this one?
Independent motorcycle shop T-shirts:
OK, now we’re getting somewhere. Independent shop shirts are kinda cool. Provided that you actually were a customer, and not for just a T-shirt. If it’s poser souvenirs you want, then that is what the H-D dealer is in business for.
H-D performance parts T-shirts:
Definitely cool stuff here, son. If you are a hot-rodder and built your own bike. If you ain’t, and paid somebody else to build your bike for you, then you are so uncool you deserve only to be buried to your ears in pig excrement. You
nauseating poser.
Biker bar T-shirts:
Again, these can be pretty cool. But if they are from the thinly disguised “Planet Hollywood”-type biker “theme” bars, and you actually wear one, then you are so helplessly useless that you should consider suicide. If the shirt was not purchased from a bar with a beer-soaked floor and maybe a broken window or two, with a toothless old hag schlepping the drinks, then it ain’t worth wiping up 50-weight from a garage floor with. Broken Spoke or Quail Canyon Inn, now yer talkin’, boy.
Biker event T-shirts:
Like all things in life, it highly depends on which event we’re talking about. True and traditional events like Sturgis, oh hell yes. If you rode there. If you drove a Winnebago, then forget it. You’re a useless waste of the oxygen you used up while you were there, and should be shot on sight. And if it was mail ordered, then I sure pity you, you poor pose-asstic piece of rodent dung. Love Ride, or any other “hip” pose-fest type event? Kill yourself now and save yourself the embarrassment. Now, a Redwood Run T-shirt is a definite cool piece of threads. Wear that with pride, my friend, if you actually went there and got it.
Motorcycle club T-shirts:
These are definitely cool. Tops in fashion wear. If you are a club member, that is. If you’re not, and you wear a “Support Your Local <insert club name here>” T-shirt, then you are simply using it to make the uninformed masses think you are a club member. You sorry-ass wannabe. Cyanide is the only hope for you.
Motorcycle club event T-shirts:
OK, we’ll let you slide on these, you pus-sucking pose bag. But it had better have been a three-patch club...
Plain black T-shirts:
Thank God for small miracles. Now we’re down to the real deal. Like I said, it ain’t hard to spot the real bikers, if you know what to look for. Plain black T-shirts with grease spots and stains on them. One hundred percent guaranteed real red-blooded American biker. Look and learn, all you sickening subhuman billboards for the H-D marketing department. You see, that fellow doesn’t need to advertise to the world the kind of person he is. He’s a biker, and he don’t give a **** who knows it or doesn’t. He possesses the one thing you wish you had the most: biker attitude. Yours is a store-bought fake. His is genetic.
I hope this helps answer your questions about biker T-shirts. Now, get a life, you insecure pose-baby loser... —John Willie

Let's see, I read the boards frequently from work and these posts are on every single one of them. Some of the threads are extremely long as everyone tries to validate their existence.
But I've not never once ever heard these arguements antwhere else but on the internet. No bars, no bike runs, no where but here on the internet!
Go figure!ennis

ennisI couldn't agree more.
There's a LOT of crap to get upset about without bringing this into it. Lot's of the, "posers" are just beginning in the motorcycle community. Lots of times, they're just green and haven't been around yet. Sometimes not. Either way, as long as they leave their attitude at the door, I'll never have an issue with them.
If you want to get upset about something... start with ABATE and some of the other motorcycle rights orgs. Learn what some would do to us with their laws to single us out.
There are laws coming up that need to be kept from going on the books. Stuff that would deny us insurance because of our, "high risk" way of life. Get mad about that.
Write some letters and get involved.... If we don't then we'll lose even more of our rights.... It's coming folks.... they're already singling out our loud pipes and helmet laws... they're now talking about not insuring us......

Well I hate getting ripped off, but have on occasion bought Harley. Not usually for myself but my lady likes the stuff, so there ya are. As far as being a real biker? I couldn't care less. Now, supporting the company? I do. Remember back a few years when AMF had to take over. Harley was one of a few american companies headed quickly for the scrap heap. It was nearly bought by a french concern. Yep, thats right boy the FRENCH. I bought a Glide that I couldn't really afford to try and help out. Of course it was AMF and after the third gear box went and then a case cracked I returned it and said thanks but no thanks. So, I guess what I'm saying is, I do support Harley, don't own any stock, and try to buy the best most functional american made product available. Fox Creek Jacket and Chaps comes to mind. I have and will I suppose buy the best product and on occasion its not US. But Harley, is special. Maybe over priced, maybe over marketed and maybe not always the best, but it's ours.
