What is a biker? Is it a state of mind?                                                                                                                                                                              

If you've never climbed a mountain, no matter what your state of mind, you cannot call yourself a mountaineer. If you can't swim, and although you are in love with the swimming world, you can't say you are a swimmer.                                                                                                                                                                             

Somebody who rides/pillions a bike on a regular basis and is part of the biking community,

Somebody who thoroughly enjoys the thrill of the open road and being in the company of like minded people.

what scoot sied

                                                                                                                                                                             

I have ridden bikes since I was 9 yo . I passed my bike test 4 years before I even bothered to get my car licence . I currently own 3 bikes but have no car .I ride everywhere, it is my  number 1 form of transport, it always has been and always will be  .  Despite this I am not a biker never have been never will be and do not want to be  .

So what's your definition of a biker, Katooom?                                                                                                                                                                             

I really don't know what a biker is XKLYBR . But I know what not being one is . I am just a person who uses bikes as transport as a means to an end .I have no idea who won any motorcycle race in the last 36 years I have no interest  .But I did ride in competative trials as a kid . I do not know what the latest hot poop bike is . But I genrally buy from smaller manufacturers like KTM and Aprilia .I see many bikes in London and do not know who or what they all are ... But I could fix or repair any problem on  any of them with the  the correct tools .  I require not badges nor lableing or being  pidgeon holed into a section of society by the transport I use .
In a fultile attempt at an answer....... I think maybe a biker could be someone who over inflates motorcycle culture into something far grander than just transport ? Maybe it is the people who do set themself apart from others  just from  something they do at the weekend ?  Perhaps "bikers" are the snobs of the motorised vehicular world ?? Maybe someone who buys MCN or the glossy mags and  watches bike racing on the telly but does not own a bike is more "biker" than me  ? But really I do not know .

Don't think its a state of mind, it's in your heart and soul, a part of your very being, runs through your veins, a lifestyle choice!!!!
As you will all know, when you ride you and your bike become one, a feeling hard to find in any other area of life (apart from the obvious of course!!)
