here in NY we cant get plates with out proof of insurance, and unless you just stop payment they wont cancel insurance with out notification from the DMV. no driving uninsured in NY.
The Harley goons crack me up. They think they can buy a new HD wardrobe and throw it on and TADA they're straight out of Easy Rider. Did anyone in that movie wear brand spankin new leather chaps? They're not fooling anyone....much less the real bikers out there. You can't fire up the credit card and swap your dress shirt and slacks for leathers and be part of a subculture. That makes you a poser.
My brothers neighbor, who he had previously had words with regarding his maniac driving, did that 2 years ago in his wrx. 70 on a back country road with 3 foot ditches on either side. Lived just long enough for his parents to come up to top of the road and say good by.
X10. At this place I used to work, there was a manufacturing facility (factory) downstairs and an office building upstairs. I worked upstairs, but I was buddies with a bunch of the factory guys, which were a bunch of rough-around-the-edges type dudes. One of the "upstairs" guys bought a HD one summer and a TON of HD apparel. He used to ride in to work in the morning with a leather vest and chaps over his dress slacks and button-up shirt. The factory people called him "Biker Ken" behind his back, after the barbie doll.

Let me say this: its not how preppy or dirty of a person that determines a true biker. I wear dress pants to work now too, but 5 years ago I hauled pig **** for a living. Just because someone has a job in an office, doesnt mean they cant be a biker. If you have a love for riding, and a bigger love for the sound of an HD v-twin, then who cares what clothes you wear. I go out in my garage and bust knuckles working on the mustang all day, and then get clean and dress nice for work the next day. That doesnt mean I cant ride my Harley with pride. Thats kind of off subject for this thread, but I had to give my opinion on the subject cause it sometimes bothers me. Lets all be friends and not judge eachother on looks!
(Now Im going to go put on my new chaps and ride like an idiot! )
jeez, I just cant get away from biker vs poser threads. They are in all the harley forums I frequent also.
