I think you might be right.

Real riders are few and far between. By "Real" I mean... people that are in it because they love to ride. Not because they like to play dress up, or have watched one too many movies OR even that feel they need to be seen/recognized for what they do. My favorite are the guys that got stuffed in lockers in high school that thought buying a bike would make them cool - that doesn't work.
