Is it important what bike you ride? A motorcycle is a bike, right? some people would believe so. But, I think that the motorcycle you ride is an image of who you are…

The bike you ride says a lot about type of riding you do, of course. However, it also has a lot to do with whom you are and who you want to associate with.

My case in point, if you ride in the dirt, you probably hang with guy’s that that ride off road and have Yamaha, Kawasaki or some type of off road or motorbike.

If you own a sports bike you more then likely ride with guys that street or track race. You may even have a group of buddies that do tricks and stunts.

Most riders that like to cruise will ride big V-Twin bikes. Big bikes like Harley Davidson’s, Honda VTX’s, Kawasaki Vulcan’s and Star Motors Big V-Twins.

A lot of riders have formed groups or motorcycle gangs around the big V-Twin motorcycle. many of the more infamous biker gangs would not think of getting ongetting on a motorcycle unless it was the all American Big V-Twin, the Harley Davidson. Other groups have been created around the other V-Twin bikes, but, the Harley Davidson is still the the best.

On the other hand I have seen groups of motorcycle riders that don’t quite jive together. From Time to time you see a pack of sports bikes ripping up the highway with one person in the back riding a Sportster or Honda Shadow. Oreven better a lone Ninja cruising in the middle of a group of big V-Twins.

Please don’t get me wrong it is completely all right if you ride a cruiser and you ride with road racing Sports bike zealots. It is just the norm to see like-minded motorcyclists riding with each other in groups.

Let me say right now I hold no discrimination of the size, make or model of bike that you ride. What is the important thing here is that you have a motorcycle.

Once in a while there is a lone wolf so to speak. He is a guy that loves to ride a bike, but he always chooses to ride all by him self. He is never seen riding in a group and likes it that way. To this lone wolf its not the bike, any bike will do. In most cases though his motorcycle will be a used motorcycle that he bought for a song. He no doubt bought it from a guy that had it parked in his drive way, with a big used motorcycle for sale sign on it. This is his thing.

I’ve owned and ridden motorcycles for 36 years and I have ridden just about every size, type, make and model of motorbike there is. I have owned new bikes and used motorcycles, two strokes, four strokes and V-Twines. I have had single cylinder all the way up to six cylinder motorcycles, ranging from 70cc to 1500cc.

I have ridden in packs and all by my self. No matter what a any man or women that chooses to ride; as long as they ride on two wheels they are kin.
