You know you are a biker when...
You have bloody knuckles from waving at a passing bike....























...while in the drivers seat of your car.

You're driving along in your cage look through the turn lean to the left and bang your knee against the door panel. Guess that'd be on the right for you brits.

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

when traveling light means only socks, underwear, t-shirt that is all...

when the joke, "must be nice to fill up with gas without getting off the bike" almost makes you vomit because you have heard it some many times.

can't ride anywhere without hearing some horrific tale of crushed metal and broken bones from complete strangers.

"bet that's fast" replaces, "how's it going?"

When your standard response to the question will it wheelie is to walk away shaking your head in disgust.

RIDE? Even when I sit at my desk at the office certain individuals say it to me. They do mean well, however, none of them have even been on one, let alone TRIED it for themselves.....

Heck, I used to be one of them. Now I know a little better, and some bikers are safer on the road than some car drivers.

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

when you use your helmet as a grocery basket...for the record it can hold a 1/2 gallon of milk, bag of doritos, loaf of bread, 8 slices of meat and cheese, and 2 can of tomato soup...the milk leaves a nice cooling affect in the helmet too

You cant figure out why when you push left, you go right and the lean is the opposite way until you realize your foot is on the gas and your steering wheel has wear marks from your torquing it.

spending the whole weekend on the net, drooling over sexy aftermarket parts, is more important than going out to get next weeks groceries.
