How Many of you are rockers ?

BADGER.BRAD · 01-22-2010, 05:35 PM

In my younger days of biking there were bikers and there were a few motorcyclists, being a biker normally meant you were into rock music (long hair and leather) I realise this has now changed but just wondered how many of you are rockers?

Ps I'm sitting here listening to bluesy old Whitesnake so count me as a rocker

id class myself more of a metaller, the word rock has been taken over by the likes of bon jovi, status quo etc, and i want in no way to be associtiated with all that stuff.

for me its maiden, metallica, disturbed, rammstein, manson, ozzy, that kind of thing.

although i would say my all time favourite has to be sabbath!!!

I use to be a Teddy boy and go to the rock & roll gigs at night, drapes and crepes. During the day I would ride around on Bikes in leather jackets going to Bike meets etc so I guess I'm a rocker. But I don't like heavy metal. It's Rock and Roll for me!

Well, i started riding Brit bikes in the sixties in Birmingham, so that makes me a Rocker.

Could'nt afford pubs, that's why we spent our time at caffs.

I've also been classed as a Greaser and Greebo?

I'm happy to be a biker these days.

And Sabbath rule. Used to live near Tony Iomi, nice normal guy.

No rocking for me i'm affraid. Not that i dislike the music. I have quite a diverse taste in music and can listening to anything pretty much, including rock music. But i dont have the long hair or the age needed to have been riding in the 60's or 70's, or 80's even lol

Yep. Aged Rocker here. Pity the hair has gone.

Uneducated chavs would call me a rocker, I'm usually into sommat a bit heavier though.

Not really a rocker I guess - long hair, silly beard and big boots but my musical tastes are a little more extreme than 'rock'. So unless I get recognised as a thrasher, a metalhead or a rivet head 'rocker' will do.
