Define a sportbike poser for me please

[t-homo]

The kickstand crew.

Really, anymore, I'm like to each his own. We don't all enjoy the sport in the same ways or with the same passion. And how boring would the world be if we did?

Shorts
flip flops
rides a 2 mile loop around town to show off
owns a stretched Busa and has never been to a 1/4 mile track
polished frame thats used as a mirror.

1) wears a jacket with a lot of fake sponsor patches
2) puts a lot of stickers on his bike even though he doesn't race and doesn't have sponsors
3) revs it at stoplights or around his neighborhood, just for attention
4) parks it in strategic locations, at strategic angles, to ensure that everyone sees it
5) has a chrome windscreen with a Hustler sticker or the name of the "crew" they belong to
6) sits on it for a long time, talking on his cell, so that people can see him and give him props for owning such a studly machine

This one I have a problem with. As in the case of one guy I know with a jacket like this, they gave it to him free with the gsxr600 he bought because it was leftover stock, and he couldn't afford a different one. Doesnt make him a poser, just making do with what he's got. The kind of gear you wear doesnt make you a poser. Not wearing any does.

True, but if we carry that train of thought to its ultimate extent, then there's no such thing as posers unless they admit to being one.

Agreed, because I do know another idiot with a repsol cbr and a repsol jacket who goes around saying 'REPSOL BABY'

I asked him if he knew what Repsol was, he just looked at me funny.

He still tries to tell people the Repsol editions are 'souped up' I make sure to point out that its not true, and he's just an idiot.

He bought the cbr after he wrecked his zx6r trying to wheelie drunk

Sounds like a real winner.

Odds are, the only reason most people buy that bike is cuz it's orange, and orange has been the "in" color ever since the original Fast & Furious movie.

Repsol baby, lol..........I should have went around saying I had an "Agip" Aprilia back when I had it, because it had an Agip sticker.
