A guide to dressing up like a real biker. http://rideapart.com/2009/11/pirates-vs-power-rangers-a-guide-to-dressing-up-like-a-real-biker/ Pirate Bike: Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Cross Bones Ultra Glide Super Classic Chrome Edition with Vibration Pack; FLHTBUTSEX. Helmet: If you live in a helmet law state, novelty helmet purchased from eBay with “For Novelty Purposes Only” sticker removed. If you don’t live in a helmet law state, $1.99-for-four Scleaming Eagle-brand bandana purchased from China via eBay. Eyewear: Xtreme-brand sunglasses purchased from Chevron after your H-D ones flew off at 52 mph. Facial Expression: Ohhhhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhh. Mouth closed to prevent bug infiltration. Facial hair: As much as your employee policy at HR Block will allow. Necklace: Imitation bear claw. Upper Body Wear: An unbuttoned leather vest adorned with club patches and other flair purchased brand new from China via Harley dealer. Make sure you buy a size too small so it won’t quite clasp across your beer gut. We did mention the need for a beer gut didn’t we? Belt: XXL women’s “Studded Punk” belt from Hot Topic retrofitted with an extraordinarily large Eagle-motif belt buckle purchased from China via Harley dealer. We recommend Butt Butter to prevent undue belly chafing. Avoid direct sunlight. Jeans: WalMart’s special “GrandMa” cut. Make sure you get the acid wash and it’s probably best to go ahead and buy them two sizes too big. Chaps: Ideally you want these to say “dad likes leather.” If the shop assistant doesn’t know what that means, tell him “leather daddy.” Bonus points for fringes or lacing, but under no circumstances accept any that could possibly protect a vulnerable area in a crash. Footwear: Generic American-style work boots purchased from China via WalMart. Tattoos: Prison-style is best, but avoid hepatitis by getting them done at Sally Joe’s tattoo emporium down by the Starbucks. Choose stencils from the book labeled “Flames, Eagles and Flags.” Chick: Ideally the two of you will purchase gear at the exact same time to guarantee you can put all of it on your finance plan at the Harley dealer. Power Ranger Bike: You still have your first bike, a Honda CBR1000RR, but want to switch to an R1 because it has .001% more power and Valentino Rossi rides a Yamaha now. Any GSX-RZX100000XXR will do. Scuffed plastic from when you dropped it leaving the dealer and the cheapest exhaust eBay said would fit. Helmet: A Rossi-replica you picked up cheap at Laguna last year. Sure it’s the paint scheme from three years ago, but that’s a real signature on it, right? Eyewear: Purple iridium visor to match your windscreen. Facial Expression: Ohhhhhhhh, noooooooooo. Mouth open because the helmet’s cheek pads squeeze too tight. Facial hair: You can grow facial hair?! If so, look to George Michael for inspiration. Necklace: Puka shells. Body wear: Rossi-rep leathers that are skin tight everywhere, except in the bum, where they sag so low it looks like you shat yourself. Tip: geometric padding over the belly is slimming. Kneesliders: Ground in on your neighbor’s belt sander. Make sure you sand from the correct angle so it doesn’t look like you ride backwards. Footwear: Rossi-rep boots purchased from eBay at the same time as your leathers, two sizes too large since you didn’t know your Italian shoe size. Tattoos: Your business fraternity’s Greek letters or the Chinese symbol for “fashion victim” on your left ankle. Chick: Like your girlfriend is going to trust you with the Pekinese
U doods need too quit dissing Harleys or I will track you down and beat the fuck out of you. I have lots of frequent flier miles and I mean business.

Was searching around on one of the sport touring sites and found this photo. Thought you might appreciate this shot Mofo.
That picture never gets old. I just love it, and keep in mind that I've owned two Harleys before. I don't get why so many people get their panties in a bunch over some ribbing. Is not like any bike manufacturer send them a check for defending its brand and being loyal. :crazy:
What is stupid about Harleydoods calling us "Power Rangers" is that the fucking retards don't see the difference between our protective gear and their ridiculous, completely unprotective costumes. The average Harleydood dresses up like Freddie Mercury heading out to a Berlin disco on a Saturday night in 1985.
I know plenty of Harley riders who wear full face helmets and riding gear, and plenty of squids wearing no more than a t-shirt and ball cap. Stereotypes are only a problem if you let them get to you... or are offended if you consciously dress that way to "fit in".
They need to add a few other categories, dress like a B Boy for the stuntaz crowd. and explorer on safari for the adventure rider crowd.
