If you want to find out the definition of whether or not you are a biker or a car driving person with a leather jacket in the boot....go to the nearest hells angels chapter and ask to join...they will explain in detail so will in no way be in any doubt if you are the former or the later...or indeed just sore...

Can't do that if you have tits and no man JTB - but I am a biker!
As for the 'are trikes bikes or cars' question, I'm with RK on that one. Regardless what they have been built from and what size engine you have you can ride them with a car license, so it's a way of getting round taking a bike test if all you want is something to pose on now and then. You are more likely to find that the reliant robin driver was a biker at one time and never took a car test.
That doesn't mean I think trikes should be banned - the opposite actually as I said earlier. Why ban anyone cos there will always be a loophole.
And Scooby - there's nothing wrong with a 'heated' discussion, much more interesting, but then I was a red head til the grey started sneaking in
Ok I posted this a little further back as it was getting a little heated as it always does so here we go again PMSL
The original thread of this was about the commercialisation of bike rallys and the cost of in particular food and alcohol...not a slur on anyone or any individual rallys......as usual with healthy debate it some what morfed into different subjects and rants lol......who is a biker and who is not.....and trust me if I had a way in the pissing rain of getting a ride up in a van I'd do it LOL......any comments made I might add were as devils advocate to other opinions made, personally I don't really give a monkeys who goes as long as they are decent people and respect others and have an interest in bikes.........
So if anyone has got there nose out of joint or feels hard done by get over it, it is not directed at anyone or any particular Rally........ ....its all just a healthy debate of opinions ...no-one is right and no one is wrong, everyone is entitled to there own opinion or rant lol........
Our society is built on a democracy so healthy debate is always good.....it doesn't mean you are right but it doesn't mean you are wrong it is your own opinion...... so if your biker snob well....tuff the majority rules ha ha......
Sits back and awaits more rants PMSL
Ok, I have my boring analysts head on now, but the top and bottom of it is:-... little rallies tend to be on the edge of villages and towns, and are a bit more free and easy about what vehicles can attend. Those in cars and on trikes can bring plenty of gear with them, for themselves and their mates as in BLs case.
So the attendees, be them bikers or not, can cater for themselves or spend the afternoon off site at a local. Therefore, prices need to be acceptable for the vendors to make the weekend pay.
However, the bigger 'rallies', because of their very nature, have to be out in the middle of nowhere in order to find a site big enough. These tend to be the ones that are restricted to bikes (confusingly, also trikes) so you have a customer base that is largely reliant on the on site facilities, and commercially, a captive audience generates price hikes.
Perhaps if we adopt DCs stance - take a bottle of Jamiesons with us, and don't bother eating for the weekend - the prices will soon drop.
Personally, I don't mind paying a fiver for a bit of snap, and slightly inflated prices for proper beer, beats drinking tinnies! But then as I have said, I usually take plenty of stuff in my trailer anyway so I only have to buy treats, not everything - incidentally, my daughter is even more cantancarous than I am, she says I should be banned, as bike plus trailer = 4 wheels. The thick ear doesn't suit her!
