Have a bike as the sole means of transport Only ever wear black leather trousers, ex-army boots, a T-shirt and a leather waistcoat whatever the weather Have a shaven head/beard/tatoo's Smell lightly of used engine oil 
That pretty much sums it up the mentality. As for pyisical apperance, everyone has their own style.Johnnyb wrote:Personally i think a real biker is someone who has the biking spirit within, who enjoys being out there on a bike be it for pleasure or commuting or sole means of transport one day a week or seven days a week, whatever they ride from racerep to Custom to commuter, someone who enjoys that freedom of being able to go wherever they want whenever they want not stuck in traffic all the time, but the final and most important part of being a biker is not seeing another biker in trouble without stopping to help, those that just ride past as your sat at the side of the road out of fuel,broken down or whatever aren't bikers but just people who own a bike. A real biker is one of those rare creatures that can spark up a conversation about bikes with another person they don't know regardless of social background and talk for hours, (just like the Kleeneze fellow the other day who knocked on my door for the catalogue, spotted the bike got talking and an hour and a cup of tea later left a happy chap,he was a real biker)
Just my thoughts
and all my friends I've met through bikes. When I asked my Mrs out on our fist date I asked her if she minded going on the back of a bike. If she'd have said no that would've been it, lucky she said yes then. Although I don't use my bike all the time and probably haven't done as many miles on it as I should've, not having one would be like having my arm cut off.
