At what age does being a motorcycle enthusiast make you a loser?

I can see people of a certain age only being able to afford two wheels, wanting cheap gas, etc. I also understand young, reckless behavior, especially living in a big college town.

But past a certain age, clinging to that kind of stuff makes you into a giant loser.

I think motorcycle riding is ok up until about age 25. Post 30 it definitely screams overcompensation and loserdom.

A lot of people think motorcycles are fun to ride and once the kids are grown and you have money, frick it. Buy a motorcycle if you want.

And a lot of these folks are senior executives, so not sure the loser concept really applies.

Giving a frick what other people think about your hobbies makes you a loser.

Been riding sport bikes for many years and I am way past 30.
Still love long road trips around the US backroads.

You're only a loser if you lose control.

The amount of money a person has doesn't really preclude them from being a loser. In fact, spending tons of money on a motorcycle probably makes you a bigger loser than some poor person riding one for that reason. I'm talking about the behavior and "lifestyle" cultivated by these old hat motorcycle enthusiasts.

The whole "Loud Pipes Save Lives" crowd of assholes...

I would probably agree with this. They prefer to be called bikers tho. I call them gay pirates.

Nothing wrong with being on two wheels at any age....so long as your strength and reflexes don't make you unnecessarily unsafe. That having been said, frick the scooter trash and their white trash "lifestyle" surrounding motorcycles.

The age where you are willing to kill someone for liking them but not the same way as you.

I think it depends on the type of motorcycle

crotch rockets for post 30 somethings is pretty loserish

but if you're into classics that you restore, or just harleys in general, no big deal and much more age appropriate

although I do think Wall St Money Never Sleeps makes crotch rockets look cool

I guess if you're in a 100k bike, and a banking billionaire, it's different
