BIKER CODE
(Note:  Having a bike doesn't make you a biker)

It used to be that all bikers shared a common bond, an unspoken code of ethics and behavior that transcended words and was built on actions.  There was never a bible written on this Biker's Code and there was no need for such.  But the times are changing and there seems to be a lot of new riders out there.  These days the riders you see blasting down the road are just as likely to be clad in shorts and sneakers as jeans and engineer boots.  And the roughest, toughest-looking biker you pull up next to could be your doctor or lawyer and may be wearing a Rolex watch under his leathers.  There's nothing wrong with that, so long as these new riders learn the Code just as we old-timers did.  Being a biker used to be about using your creativity to take a basket case old hawg and using only grit and ingenuity, turning it into a one-of-a-kind eye dazzler, then risking your life on the asphalt on a bike you made yourself out of pride. 

Take heed, brothers and sisters, for our Code is a hallowed one filled with honor and loyalty, the likes of which have not been since the days of knighthood.  Be kind to women, children and animals, but don't take any bullshit about being a biker.  This is an essential part of being a biker.  It has to  do with respect and honor. 

Your word is all you have in life that is truly yours.  Guard it carefully and be something noble, for you are a true knight of the road.  If you see a wrong, fight it yourself, if you are about anything.  You'll take care of problems yourself, find solutions.  Don't Whine.  Absolutely no one likes or respects a whiner.  Another way to think of it is, "Don't sweat the small stuff" 

  Being a biker is a way of life, a proud way of life we hold in high regard with a burning passion for the open highway.
