| Around here the term is used pretty lightly.... A couple friends I have that ride- call me Bro' from time to time.... Doesn't bother me I pretty much feel the same about them. However, I feel its a term that has to be earned. To simply buy a bike and start riding- don't make no one a bro' in my opinion.

Well, since this is the "Posers Club" area. I figured we could toss out a few things up front to spot the "Poser". First thing that came to my mind is the use of the terms "Bro" and "Brother".
Besides, some of the Members here, that I don't consider to be "Posers", don't post much during the cold Winter months and hopefully, this will stir some conversation...
Anyway, these two terms are tossed around quite a bit. At least here in So Cal. Some are pretty fast and loose with using them. In certain context, not a problem, in others, you'll hear me say "I ain't your Bro"
Black males - Refer to each other as "Brothers" and are often called "Brothers" when referring to them. But, since I'm a white male, I ain't your Bro.
Surfers - Refer to a lot of males as "Bro" as a normal part of the lingo. And since I don't and never have surfed, I ain't your Bro.
Veterans - We've got a connection and calling me a "Bro" is taken as a sign of respect for that connection. "Bro" is an acceptable term. I am your Brother.
Unions - Union Brothers and Sisters. I never really felt comfortable with the term. Since my union days are long past, I ain't your "Brother".
Bikers - A sign of respect that must be earned. Don't toss it around lightly. If I've earned it, fine. If not and the only connection we got is our bikes, I ain't your "Bro".
These are just a few uses of the terms that I came up with off the top of my head. I'm sure that ya'all have others to add...
