Default Do you ever feel embarrassed to be a biker??

I picked up/bought a copy of MCN the other day ... first time in ages ... I read some of the readers letters ... quite frankly, I am embarrassed to be of the same breed ...

I feel the same when I read some of the BS on the net, or watch vids on youtube ...

Do you ever feel embarrassed you are a biker??? Have you ever 'neglected to tell' someone you are?!?!? ... especially if they are having a rant?!?

no never... I find most people I tell are really interested. Today I was getting my legs waxed and I told the beautician bout my bike, she replied "you don`t look like a biker" my foot was on her shoulder at the time, made me wonder??

You know I never thought I'd say this, but I kinda of agree with Blue

I'm not emabressed to be a biker, but sometimes I embaressed by the idiotic things that other people on two wheels do.
