I was surfing around trying to find the true definition of flatbiller??? I think Vanilla Ice may be one, or at least looked like it on that Celebrity Bullriding thing with Ty Murray, and I think there may be some on here...
This is what I gathered so far::D
Flatbiller... sometimes has a huge Raiders sticker in their back window. They think they're real tough guys and their shit doesn't stink. Flatbillers have other people build them nice trucks so they can park at the races and have people look at them. Most seem to wear LBZ... They are Wannabe thieves, outlaws, cheats, and criminals... They are hardcore outlaw type in their own mind. Their motto is All Show And No Go...:idea:
Am I close on this?:p

I don't know about the Raider stickers, that's a separate species.
As for flatbillers, they are no different than the 40-65 year olds on shiny Harleys that wear every possible leather, harley item sold and are chasing youth along with the "bad guy" image the flat billers are trying to chase. Getting a tat after 40 puts one in the same lame league of wanna be something you're not. I'd say both of these groups that also own boats share some similarites in the "wanna be" clique as well.

A little bit...
Dirk bikes
lifted trucks
dickie shorts
black socks
bad attitudes
that pretty much adds to what you had to say. if any of you are familier with the 909 or IE thats pretty much where your going to find these cats. th whole raider nation thing is WAY outta the flatbiller catagory ha ha it has its own ha ha ha

So, if you were wearing dickies, black socks, rode a Harley and had a bad attitude 20 years would you be considered the old breed of tough guy? A fashion emergency? Before your time?

I think 20 years ago there was a little less emphasis placed on the "Appearance of tough". Is it truly just fashion? You can probably back Harley's out as well as it's a mixed bag of folks now a days.
I am 40. Is that old? Are flat billers just about fashion? You tell me.:D
I was raised around Harley's. When the 1% Er's came around, us kids were hustled off. I would say that was the breed of the Harley tough guy back in the day.

Yeah, I chalk it up to some sort of fashion. A few years ago I couldnt turn the corner without seeing kids with a beanie on their head..even in the summer.
Nah, 40's not old. I'm too close to it.:)
I grew up around bikes too, still have 2 of em. Things were defintely different. But then again what isnt?

Flatbiller bro
1. Flatbiller 36 up, 9 down
A flatbiller is someone who buys a truck, puts a large and ineffectual lift on it, then proceeds to offroad in closed areas, resulting in more anti-offroader sentiment. Many times, but not always, they are characterized by their flat billed mesh hat.
That dude in the F150 lifted on 33's was at Gordons Well bombing through the bushes, he's too much of a flatbiller and is gonna help the Sierra Club close the dunes.

Also called "BROs" because they constantly refer to each other as bro ("Hey bro"), a flatbiller is a kid covered in silly tattoes, tries his best to be x-treme, has a raised truck, rides dirtbikes and needs to talk about dirtbiking when other people are listening. Havasu and Glamis are the common vacation spots for west coast flatbillers. The term flatbiller refers to the flatbilled hats turned sideways that bros often wear. Common flatbiller accessories are custom lowered older cars, iron cross/west coast choppers stickers, bandanas, white stickers on the back window of their "street" truck that show how x-treme they are. Flatbillers are only allowed to wear black. There is an entire webpage devoted to providing flatbiller examples... the name is very creative, can you guess it?
Two flatbillers involved in an intelligent discourse at work-
Bro #1: Hey bro did you see my new west coast choppers tat, now I really look like eminem bro.
Bro #2: Bro, that tat is crazy, bro, you do look like eminem bro. We look so different than everyone else that is trying to look different.
Bro #1: Yeah bro, when I go dirtbiking I will have to let it air-out with the nipple ring. We are x-treme individuals bro. Nobody knows how to party like us. Did I mention that we dirtbike bro.
Bro #2: Awesome bro, these tattoes are never going out of style bro. They are timeless bro, like that "Limp Bizkit" scar that you scratched into your arm in 9th grade, bro.
Bro #1: Yeah bro. I need to get out of here bro, we should go to Havasu this weekend.
Bro #2: Yeah bro, but payday is next friday and I need to sink all my cash into the 8-ball shift-knob on the '63 bro.
Bro #1: I hear you bro, we need to ditch this job and become union pipelayers bro. That would be x-treme.
Customer: Can I have the large fries please.

I am right there with ya but I lean toward the tough image.
Look at the pic of Jessie James. But fashion...I do see your point.

Maybe being "tough" is in?:idea: Maybe its a combo.
That look has been around a long time in certain places. Just not as prominent as it is now.
and to think... these guys think they are originals.:D

WOW! all of that is super true. I dont think its a cool thing i just think its the generation now a days. Its the same with girls too. They catagorize you as a bro hoe if you have bleached blonde hair with black chunks in it or if you wear SRH and Skin clothing its all the same but it mainly is the 909 951. Its slowly makin its way to the 714 ha ha ha but all in all everyone is put in to catagories and IT IS WHAT IT IS, And people are gonna do what they do...
