What's the definition of a RUB?

I thought i knew but maybe not.Bluff Mike said i was a RUB.I thought being a blue collar worker(i'm a railroad engineer) and riding for almost 40 years would disqualify me,but seeing as he says i am maybe he's right.He seems to know everything!So...what is the definition of a RUB?And if your one what do you do for a living?

Update:

I've always done my own work on my bikes especially my Panhead.32 years with it and it's only been touched by me and a few lower end builders.

Update 2:

Holy chit Dog!! LOL ummm no i'm not that kinda boy

    Rubs Definition

    I love RUBs you can find their 2 year old bikes for sale cheap with less than 1500 miles on them. Plus most have all the chrome you can stand. I say more power to the RUBs. It keeps the Pour Urban Bikers on the road. Plus they kept a lot of Harley dealers open in the lean days.

    A true RUB can easily afford the payments and the tons of bling for his new bike. Plus he has no problem buying a new trailer to haul is bike that grueling 250 mile round trip to a rally. And he allways gets a room, never camps.

    However....he cant ride for SQUAT!!! These are some of the yokels that drop thier bikes with less than a thousand miles on them and force our insurance rates up!

    No your not a rub Bro. Let the alligator mouths talk then wait to see if thier canary butts can back it up!

    There is no definition in the Concise Oxford Dictionary that would make a person a rub. Bluff Mike may be saying you rub him the wrong way or in an abrasive manner.

    Bluff Mike is busting your chops. He may seem to know everything, but he don't. You are no more a Rub than I am a"motorcycle enthusiast"

    Source(s): 37 yrs riding Harleys and I'm a good mechanic on older bikes. Build engines(complete) trannys, etc.
