You Know You Are A Biker When...

You lean when playing bike games on games consoles/pc's..

You lean when watching bike racing (especially with on bike camera shots)..

You do shoulder checks even when walking...


Anyone else???

...you search high and low for a can to crush so you can park on something other than concrete in summer.

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

if on fresh asphault, or soft ground, the kickstand will sink into the soft surface... the flattened coke can, under the kickstand, will better disperse the weight across the surface, and lessening the risk of it sinking in...

Yeah i always wondered why everytime i went to cycle gear there were peices of wood blocks on the asphalt..my bike sinking in the asphalt never really bothered me. lol

The few times i've actually driven a car,i attempted to shift with my left foot and clentched the steering wheel like it was a clutch..not that i don't know how to drive a car,it was just a force of habit. lol

You know you're a biker when:
you go to a restaurant (when someone else was driving), and then try to find out who stole your helmet from under the table when you leave!

You now you're a biker, when you wake up in the morning to a hint of gasoline odor, from parking the bike inside your digs...

We ought to have our own jingle... "The best part of waking up, is premium in your tank...."
Instead of Folgers, it's 93 octane...

You ride your little 600 cc bike on a 1000 mile round trip because doing it in a car would be too boring.

You know your a motorcyclist when you wear leathers , your helmet and drag knee to play Suzuka8 at the arcade. Yeah, I did that.
You know your a motorcyclist when you complain your car leans the wrong way when you corner.
