| 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! |

I do the same thing everyday when I leave work.. go round corner from the shop, up to traffic lights and turn right... and you can guarantee i'm doing 70 by the time I get to the national speed limit sign  just up the road

| 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..
