Define a sportbike poser for me please

[Fleck750]

Shorts
flip flops
rides a 2 mile loop around town to show off
owns a stretched Busa and has never been to a 1/4 mile track
polished frame thats used as a mirror.

1) wears a jacket with a lot of fake sponsor patches
2) puts a lot of stickers on his bike even though he doesn't race and doesn't have sponsors
3) revs it at stoplights or around his neighborhood, just for attention
4) parks it in strategic locations, at strategic angles, to ensure that everyone sees it
5) has a chrome windscreen with a Hustler sticker or the name of the "crew" they belong to
6) sits on it for a long time, talking on his cell, so that people can see him and give him props for owning such a studly machine

Damn, I'm a poser. It actually use to be my winter jacket. It was much much warmer than anything else I had and got it for a good price. It does look very poserish though.

I notice this too, Icon stuff is thick and heavy.

My problem with it is, even if I wanted a jacket with sponsor patches, why would I want a Parts Unlimited patch?

This one I have a problem with. As in the case of one guy I know with a jacket like this, they gave it to him free with the gsxr600 he bought because it was leftover stock, and he couldn't afford a different one. Doesnt make him a poser, just making do with what he's got. The kind of gear you wear doesnt make you a poser. Not wearing any does.

LOL, I didn't know better. I bought my first bike in october and it was a nice thick jacket. My bro who was the only biker I knew at the time was definitely a poser sportbiker, so he was my only influence. I got that dumb looking jacket thinking it would make me look cool and keep me warm.

I have the blue one.

Oh, and homeslice, revving your bike doesnt make you a poser. It makes you a normal male who likes the sound of a bike engine. And I dont know many who dont enjoy it.

True, but if we carry that train of thought to its ultimate extent, then there's no such thing as posers unless they admit to being one.

I enjoy it too, but only when I'm on one.........Not when I'm walking down the street or trying to catch some z's at home.
