Don't know where I heard it first, but we call them "dental bikers". Monday through Friday they are dentists, accountants, Clark Kents; but after work or on the weekends they are Bad Ass in their shiny loud magnificence.
Having been around 1%ers, back in the day, these guys crack me up. Accessory lifestyle.

I see a lot of that. I don't care if someone wants to get all "accessorized" with the latest motorcycle fashion or what they ride. I just hate it when they look down their noses and sneer because of what someone else is riding. It's not only some Harley riders but add on Gold Wing, BMW and a lot of guys on the latest sportbike.

Wasn't there an episode of Married With Children where Al stumbles into a 'tough' biker bar and starts getting razzed by a guy for being a shoe salesman? The guy's buddy calls him out - "Hey, Bob, you're a Dentist!", to which Bob responds "It's better than being an Accountant like you!".

I ride a fairly modified suzki B-King (already a fairly unknown bike, only in U.S. for one year). It has projector headlight, painted blue (badges removed for painting never bothered to put them back on) and a R1 hear section and tail light.

I frequently get asked what the thing is whenever I stop someplace. It's interesting because the cruiser guys are usually more interested in it. Probably because of how wide it is.

I've actually had one Harley guy ask me if it was a custom Boss Hoss.

Everyone seems to think they know the engine better than me when I tell them it is the same thing as a Gen II Busa except different intake and exhaust.

People usually don't believe that those are the stock exhausts on the back.

I get asked if I ever get tired from the riding position, (they don't realize it's a standard position)

I always thought the B-King was a fugly bike. Then I sat on one, and it was comfortable. Then I rode it, and it was awesome. Suddenly, I thought the B-King was sexy. Way more engine and power than I'd ever need, but a fun bike indeed.

I've wanted a b-king for a long time but my wife put it on the 'banned' list after my brother told her how fast it is...

While it is faster than anyone probably ever needs, it is also quite tame just riding around at slow speeds. It's easier to drive slow than the CBR600RR in my garage. It can be ridden at 30MPH in 5th gear and still pull nicely if you twist it.

Lyrics:
[ORIN]
When I was younger, just a bad little kid,
My mama noticed funny things I did,
Like shootin' puppies with a B B gun
I'd poison guppies, and when I was done
I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head
That's when my mama said

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
What did she say?

[ORIN]
She said, "My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way
To make your natural tendencies pay
You'll be a dentist
You have a talent for causin' things pain
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Here he is, folks the leader of the plaque!
Watch him suck up that gas!
Oh, my god!
He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good
Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis de Sade?

[PATIENT]
Oh that hurts! I'm not numb!

[ORIN]
Oh, shut up. Open wide. here I come!
I am your dentist

Do you always write your posts like it was poetry?

On the way home from school last week, in the rain, I stopped at a gas station to pick up a couple things.

As I get off the DR, guy parks in a truck next to me. We walk in together, me with my helmet in hand. Thinking he was going to say something about riding in the rain, I prepare for one of those convos, not for what transpired:

Guy: What kinda helmet's that?

Me: It's a Scorpion.

Guy: Never heard of that brand, but they must be shit. You need to get an Arai or a Shoei.

Me:

Haha, well, one of these saved my life a few months back, and if the day ever comes I need to learn the difference between a $300 helmet and a $700, I don't think I'll live long enough to regret my decision. (me laughing and thinking he was just poking fun but in a serious tone) Do you ride motorcycles?

Guy: Nah. I used to, but a couple years back, I high-sided an R1 at Road Atlanta doing 190 and broke both my arms. You'll never see me back on a bike again. What kinda bike do you ride?

Me: *point at the DR out the window* Suzuki DR650 today, couple Bandits at home.

Guy: Dude, you need to get yourself an R1 or an R6. If you ever do, you'll never want to ride anything else. It'll change your life.

Me: Haha, I see how that worked out for you (not trying to come off like a dick, but I must have to him since he shut up then).

I only ever seem to be judged negatively for what or how I ride by people that "conveniently" never seem to be on a bike themselves.
