I don't mind Harley riders, but I mind Harley hipsters. I don't hate the brand Harley, I just don't understand their hipster culture. Since it Is the season for cook out, I've been meeting a lot of hipsters who rides Harley. The things that came out of their mouth about motorcycles made me think about previous culture of kids who dresses as vampires, wolfs, and emo. I'm pretty much a new rider and my social network expanded once I started riding, so this is all new to me.

Have you guys came across Harley hipsters?

I stay out away from them. I can be offensive and have made snowflakes melt just standing next to them. Not my scene.

Hahahaha, have you came across any?

I've seen them but haven't had to really interact with any. I avoid hipsters in general. Wearing skinny jeans so tight you can't get them off yet wear suspenders with them just confuses me.

@VicVisionBulldog , don't get sucked in. This thread may take a turn quickly.

The only hipster friend I have is the one who bought a sportster several months ago from my previous thread, this man wore a tuxedo to a cook out last Friday on his harley hipster (sportster). I don't want to hear a word about motorcycles from him. Other than that, he is a good friend.

It's ok. Years of being called a racist murderous pig has conditioned me to allow words to roll off like water on a ducks back.

If Clyde is a trolling hipster I think I can take being labeled a Hipster Hater.

...in large city and suburban areas I find it easier to dislike various groups - as the animals we desend from we have a instinctual dislike or anyone not from our "tribe" ...wolf packs don't like other packs : meerkat colonies war on their neighbors ...after I moved out of the city and back to the country things are a lil better ... or is there fewer groups irritate me?

Lol, I wish I could fit into those skinny jeans to show that I am a slim guy just to impress my wife. My dirty work clothes and boot is my fashion spices

My wife had TEARS laughing so hard last year at top of Bear Tooth Mountain.....4 HD riders...males in fancy white/yellow/red/black HD shirts (NOT t-shirts, dress shirts) and tight black jeans.....wives had same matching shirts as hubbies AND all 4 wives had HIGH HEELS on :rofl2: (I won't say what state they were from, don't wanna offend any hipster Victory riders)

Hipsters...what a joke...I'm in NY, go to several events in Brooklyn...the home of the hipsters...It has gotten so bad they they sell stickers that say "Hipster Killer" They are stuck all over the FXR crew... They have a real issue with the douchebags. Me...I don't care, they're just another fact of urban life...

Nobody bothers me unless they start talking crap about Victory. Then it's easy though you give them info on your bike then on the bike they are riding but know nothing about. After they realize you were not the one they should have started talking crap to, they tend to divert the conversation realizing they are idiots. That's the funniest stuff to me showing someone just how silly they are.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA :ANGEL4: I have no idea what you reffering to here as hipsters, but there is some young fellas that wear those tight stretchy jeans/trousers thingys and look like they had better not sit on a bus for too long, go numb real quick in an area that should never be numb........

Damn kids with their beards and skinny jeans. But then, my dad's friends never liked me or my friends back in the 80's with our long hair and acid washed denim. And my grandfather and his friends thought my dad's friends were a bunch of idiots with their greasy hair and leather jackets... hmmmm... I see a pattern emerging.

Personally, I'm glad to see young people riding, skinny jeans or not. My daughter is 24 which puts her squarely in the "mellenial" category. But her and her friends are all riders and most of them have built their own bikes from scratch with their own hands. Yeah they're still young and immature, but we all were at that age. Give the kids a break. ;-)

Seems too many want to be their own kind of special so they can dislike another person's taste and persona. A beatnik taught me to ride, he got shot down in Vietnam, a leather clad greaser taught me how not to pay attention to what others called me and to ride my own ride. But that was 50 years ago.

Seems to me there is some common ground. They all like motorcycles. The old saying "If you have to ask you will never understand" applies to motorcycles. The hipster doesn't have to ask, he already knows, just looks a little different doing it. You don't have to take him or her to the prom, but you have a common bond you can't break. You understand what two wheels are all about.

Just want to clarify this, not all hipsters are bad, but most Harley hipsters that I met are confused people. The way they dress doesn't bother me as much as their logic. Again, I am not referring to all hipsters.

Hipster guy: I only like Harley Davidson
Me: What do you like about them?
Hipster guy: I don't know man, they bad ass

Last Saturday night cook out
Hipster girl: I love Harley, what bike do you own?
Me: that gray one over there ( pretty sure she doesn't know Victory)
Hipster girl: when I was in California, I was hanging out with this motorcycle club, they all ride Harley. I was on this Harley bike called... that look like a sport bike..
Me: Vrod?.. the one Harley team up with Porsche (porsha)
Hipster girl: oh I don't know, you meant porshay?

Well...Mr. Satxron I agree with some of your statement...but my personal experience with "some" hipsters was very negative. ..

I was in Brooklyn a few years ago at the "Brooklyn Invitational" bike show @ Roots . It's basically a bike show in a art gallery .

Anyway I get there early score a great spot in the shade in front of the place. and settle in. As it gets more crowded a "hipster" tries and squeeze his home build sh it box inbetween my bike . There's no enough room for a bicycle but this duschebag tries anyway. I stop him before he scratches / knocks over / damages my Warrior. He tells me " I should move my bike and let him have my spot, My bike dosent fit the motif of the show. " I laugh in his face and walk away. . Now his buddies come over and start giving me sh it...I'm by myself and there's 4 of them... I basical tell them to f u c k off I'm not moving my bike...just then ... Who rolls up...a bunch of my 1% friends...Handshakes and hugs...I turn around...no Hipsters in sight...I think the term Douchebag Hipsters is appropriate.

What made them Hipsters? I know what makes a doochebag.

So you talked to a person that only likes one type of bike just because he does and that makes him a hipster.

Then you talked to a girl who doesn't own a bike and she is a hipster. What is a Victory owner who only likes Victory? A Hipster right?

How bout a biker for all of them. Like I said the common thread is two wheels not the tank badge or what they wear. I don't think you get it. Not that it matters if you do or don't but the guy on the Harley was a biker just like a guy on a Honda or a Yamaha, well maybe not a Yamaha, they may be hipsters. lol

I know what a hipster is, it's just that these are hipsters who are in love with the brand Harley. Just don't try to be a smart ass about it. I am not sure where you are from, but hipsters over here are all about brands. I would think they shop at thrift shops.

I know at the end of the day, we all ride and get along. We all agree and disagree on different subjects. People have opinions

This is my hipster friend right there in his tight black jean, so what is hipster to you?
