What’s a Biker?


The moment I swing my leg over the seat. Then it’s my time—just me and the machine and the wind, a daily dose of freedom.

What’s a Biker? A Biker is not just one who owns a motorcycle. There are numerous people who own multiple bikes, but never ride them. A Biker is someone who owns and rides a motorcycle, and not merely as a means of transportation. Being a Biker means taking a motorcycle on long journeys, day and night, rain or shine. And a Biker loves being on the road and the heightened sense of their surroundings. A Biker respects nature, being so close to it so often. A true Biker cares less what you ride and more that you ride. A Biker is adventurer, one who transcends normal life, welcomes the freedom of open motion, and the ecstasy and peace of mind gleaned from it. A Biker is a generous and respectful person, who helps those in need and believes in “live and let live”. And a Biker is driven by spiritual, rather than material needs.
