i just lifted the visor because i knew no one would believe me lol

You get out of hospital with a dislocated shoulder, broken thumb and that after noon you get the bike started and go for a short test ride to see how bad the bike is. No guages,no cluth or brake levers, no mirrors, no indicators and a tank that would be lucky to hold 5 litres now. I was young and stupid then. I'm old and stupid now.
Brutally funny Macca.

When you see a single light coming towards you and you're dissapointed when it's a car with a light out and you don't get the chance to identify make and model of bike

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

I was posted with the Army from Germany back to the UK in Jan. set off on my bike wearing half my wardrobe, leathers, and fully lined waterproofs. Roads were clear, but was snow on the sides of the roads, as the cold hit my bladder, stopped as I was bursting for a piss, started doing riverdance as my hands were frozen and I could see the toilet, but couldnt undo the zips and was in agony, managed to undo my zips, then had to find my C..K as it was VERY COLD, couldnt wait any longer, and as I found it too late I ended up pissing over said wardrobe of clothes, leathers, and waterproofs.....warmed me hands up a treat though!

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

when traffic lights become the bane of your life because that means you have to stop (unless you are like me and will slow to a snails pace coming up to the lights hoping they will change before you get there, so you dont have to stop)..

when you can have the most cr*p day ever and then you go for a bike ride... and for the time you are out nothing else matters except you, your bike and the road in front of you.. and everything else is forgotten..
