Re: You Know You Are A Biker When...

You should be doodling on you paper, but ur drawing your route for your day off.
You spend your spare time washing your bike, even if you havnt ridden it since the last time.
Its more important to get the bugs off your visor than say hi to your girlfriend.
Your jacket smells like an insect barbaque and you still cant see a reason not to wear it out.
Your bike is worth more than your car.
You admire a person the same, whether they ride a 250cc 1982 honda with a sidecar or a thirtytwo thousand custom gixxer.
Youll go down the block to your friends house by taking the highway 30 kms away.

Re: You Know You Are A Biker When...

You fall off at the track, break 3 bones in your left foot, stay at the track for the rest of the day, then drive home in a manual shift (OUCH), go to the doc's for a cast, then ask him if he can drill a hole on the left inside part of your cast. When he asks why you reply " How the hell else am I going to change gear with a cast on"

Been there done that at Mallory Park in the UK...

I worked for a trucking company once. Called in sick one day and went riding. Thought I would be safe out of town. One of the trucks spotted me a little over 90 miles out of town and called in just wondering if it was me. Fired next day. Ironically my boss rode too. Now I have a little under two months of vacation time coming and sometimes when it is real nice outside my boss tells me to leave and go riding.
