Mr. Bill goes for a ride!
Damn you are fast. I changed my post but obviously to late. Though maybe I shouldn't use the word politics.
Is the guy in the picture running for office?

And this incessant anti-labeling rant I see more and more is asinine. We all label, period. It is how humans cope. Now that is not to say that someone might not have a thousand different labels, but we label, and are labeled, nonetheless. Hell I you have already been slapped with the "cranky old cogger" label by several on this board from what I can see, and you seem to enjoy it.
Maybe it is not as important in motorcycling as it is in aviation, but I would prefer to ride with someone that truly is "into" motorcycles, reads the books on riding, has ridden "there and back", and basically understands what it is like to be a motorcyclist. I sure as hell would rather fly with a true "aviator" then a once-a-month pilot that only flys enough to think they have the "rust knocked off".
That is the thing with labels, people like them when they like them, but if they do not they no longer believe in labels.

Makes sense to me. I'm simply more into the sport of motorcycling than the social/identity aspect of it.

I'm a bottom feeding, low life, scum sucking, bike trash troll in some people's eyes.
I'm a touring motorcyclist in others. To some I ride one of "those" rice-rocket Japanese bikes. To some of my co-workers it's, "You ride a motorcycle?"
Others have a wider canopy and don't use labels.
I'm finally getting to the age (Yeah....I'm enjoying every bit of being a grumpy old man!) where I don't care much what title some feel they must use. Let them think what they will, I'll be smiling in my helmet and enjoying myself.
Uhm....the Sacramento Valley group of FJR owners is riding tomorrow and there may be other riders of other makes and/or models who will join us. Want to come along the ride-to-eat on New Years Day? Or gather with a local group of your own and spend a few hours of "quality time"?
Riding with like minded individuals and friends...does it get much better than that?
Damn the labels...full speed ahead!

Privileged to ride a 2018 FJR1300AS
What, on an FJR?
I'd be in for a spell of full board and lodging at Her Majesty's pleasure.
And no riding for many years.
Let's say around half full speed ahead, ok?

Since I've joined this former it's become apparent to me that the older you get...the more you act like a teenager. Sometimes I feel like I'm surrounded by my 14yr son's friends on here. :lol:

Been riding for over 30 years. Started on a Suzuki 1972 GT750 back in 1975. I have had many bikes since then. Had a Honda 900f while stationed in England and rode all over Europe. Had a GSXR 1100 while in Texas. Had a 1994 Harley heritage softail and put well over 100,000 miles on that bike. Have had my 2009 FJR for two years now. I loved them all because i was riding. I don't get caught up in what people ride or what they wear. Never really cared and still don't care if someone has loud pipes or quiet pipes. I can appreciate both. I don't mind being called either.
