Definition of a retro biker[leave your own]

Wondering why the chaps on the 2008 FSR's passing him always comment 'Look at that OLD Pace!' and thinks 'Old.. this is my most recent new purchase that I paid top money for the state of the art bike..... Ten years ago'
I also think the general terminology for this is getting old. I guess I look like the old roadie who used to pass me on his 1980's classic Italian stallion when I was 16 and I used to wonder why he rode such a old piece of crap. Now I have been enlightened.
 
A fashion, decor, design, or style reminiscent of things past. Owning something different, something Rare where the saddle is moulded to your backside - We may be older, we maybe unfit we search high and low looking for rocking horse poo, but at the end of the day we all love the finished article!

Retro Biker = Excessive fans of good old technology!
 
Retrobiker: Someone with a fetish for purple anodising, brakes that are a complete pain in the ass to set up & bikes that rattle your fillings out, whilst trying to relive their youth in dayglo Lycra ;)

But who the hell cares, eh, it's all wallet draining fun!

It's not what you ride, it's how you ride.
 
Someone with a rose-tinted memory of the past, an inability to accept the future and a wish to revive adolescent dreams now he has the disposable to spend on NOS kit.
