What is a Biker?

I guess that if this is about 'The Biker Lifestyle', then we should determine what is a 'Biker'.
I believe that the true real biker is a rare item due to the rule-makers & nay-sayers of the modern society. The Way of The Biker is seldom achieved in it's entirety without becoming a criminal or 'a person of interest'. This is not to say that there are no true real bikers in the world, but most of us are only bikers in varying degrees.
 
In my opinion there are five categories. 

One: The full time biker.
A person who's main mode of transportation is a motorcycle.
A person who's main form of entertainment is bike related, such as riding for no reason, attending events for bikers, biker type music, biker movies, a bike related source of income.

Two: The semi full time biker.
Basically same as One, only working around the social restrictions placed on them by life.
Jobs, family, friendships, obligations, etc., have evolved to the point that not all biker minded individuals can be as free as the mindset would want to achieve.

Three: The part time biker.
A person who's secondary mode of transportation is a motorcycle.
A person who rides on weekends and only in fair weather.
Attends some bike related events. 

Four: The wannabe.
A person without a bike, but has all the accessories.

Five: The dreamer.
A person who hangs around all the known biker spots.
Favorite saying: "I'm gonna have a Harley someday."
I will go into more detail as to the differences later.

To be continued......
