I was watching Kerrang - the U.K. satellite metal , music station at the weekend and it was the top 50 loud video’s , which was the usual sublime to the ridiculous selection that we know and love in the rock world .This ranged from the gothic pomp and circumstance of Evernescence- Bring Me To Life to the sleaze rock of Girls Girls Girls by Motly Crue , and just watching the Girls’ video of the band cruising Sunset Strip on their Harleys just made me realise - ………been there , done that , got the t shirt ……literally :)
That was when I was a ruff tuff biker , and nowadays I just supposedly - look like a Hispanic gangbanger – minus the tattoo’s of course , I’ve still got the Harley I hasten to add , but certainly not the plastic image that goes with it now a days.
I’ve never been a part of the “herd mentality” that goes with this and other types of similar interests , be it wearing official Harley clothing on your motorcycle or the latest dayglow gear and matching helmet , on your mountain bike , and in fact I don’t even know anybody – socially who rides a mountain bike as they all look and act like geeks !!! .
Talking of herds , I’m just wondering what the collective noun for geeks is …………A Microsoft of geeks – maybe
