Anyone A Motor Biker?

[kitefly]

I am doing a Tafe assignment on Bikers as a subculture, and I have to create a design aimed at that group.



Anyone here into Bikes, and can we discuss the sub culture?

I have a dirt bike but barely ride it <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I use to ride a wasp coloured CBR250-RR until a in a hit and run trauma at an intersection in 2006... no insurance either so no bike since... always wanted a Respol coloured CBR1000-RR, recently bought a new car instead.



I was not really part of the sub-culture, only had the bike for a year or so but I really enjoyed the occasional nod that would be gestured by motorcyclists passing by in the opposite direction, just that subtle gesture really made me feel part of a group.

Cool, thanks for that! That's definitely something I can use in my research.

I can give you some advice.

Stay away from the dark side!

Or become a bikie mole to get the full story!

No sorry that's bad advice.



Best wishes.

Thank you for the thoughtful advice Peter, but a Biker is different to a Bikie. No dark side required.
