You have bloody knuckles from waving at a passing bike....
...while in the drivers seat of your car.

| 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?"

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.  |

(true story).

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