You know you ride motorcycles when....

[Lazarus]

your friends and family can't get in touch with you for 40 mins because you're commuting to and from work.

you drive into work with a case of water, 5 frozen meals, 5 shirts and dress shoes because you know you're going to be riding your motorcycle to work the rest of the week.



Your turn.

[TroyBoy30]

hmmm I brought in a weeks worth of lunch and I use the car! lol

[ninja6r]

it only take you 7 bucks to fill up and you can laugh at the soccer mom driving the hummer who just dropped 10 times that in gas

Good one. Cost me $10 yesterday getting Super.

[Seca]

...your stuck in rush hour traffic on 85S and are surfing a motorcycle site....

[ninja6r]

hell Mine is about the same as a hummer to fuel up and I get like 380 miles to the tank of 26.5 gallons ..

[KBlask]

You sit at work planning your weekend rides on google maps.

Not that I'm doing that right now.

[Georgiacbr]

...your stuck in rush hour traffic on 85S and are surfing a motorcycle site....


Yea im texting from my cell phone and surfing web sites wile traffic sit's a normal stand still and yes I usually do that ..

[JSKeezy]

If you make a phone call...you usually do it on speakerphone and your helmet is still on :lol:

[ramm]

You get a phone call from the mum every time she see's a motorcycle of your color or a wreck on the news.

+1...or when they see one similar to yours doing something stupid and she harrasses you about it until she realizes it wasn't you

[eersfanpilot]

It takes you 20 min to get dressed in the morning, but you did not put on anything you will actually wear at work.

[ramm]

That is so true! Every time I plan on riding into work in the morning, I set my alarm clock to go off 30 minutes earlier. :up:

[ninja6r]

Amen to that one :up:

[BlueLghtning]

You would think on a motorcycle forum that topics related to motorcycles people would learn to put them in the "motorcycle only" forum vs the open forum! haha :crackup:

I was thinking about that but was like eh.... people might not understand. :lol: Because I certainly dont. :rofl:

[flygirl]

your more worried about the weather on your day off than when your flying

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

You know for a fact you can fit a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, a bag of chips, and lunchmeat/cheese in the extra space in your riding jacket (Swear to God.. I wear an XS, it's a 38 chest... and there's enough room for ALL of that in the gut area of the jacket.. WTF do they think we short people are built like? Bowling pins?)

[The Lazy Destroyer]

You go 20 miles to get home from work, when it's only 10 miles away.

[TroyBoy30]

i must have the hummer of bikes, cause I get 90 miles till the gas light comes on! I drive 90 miles round trip to work! :crackup:

[bigmixx]

That's what you get for riding a 1000cc vtwin. I get at least 100 miles on my 1000cc I-4 before the light comes on :lol:

[The Lazy Destroyer]

90 miles? 100 miles? I'm glad I ride a 600 :) 135 before the light



...and 175-185 before the bike shuts down :D

[KBlask]

I was confused and saddened when I found out my reserve warning came on at 120 miles on the f4i. I was used to not even hitting reserve til 220 miles on the 250. Very similar sized fuel tanks, too.

[Bryce]

90 miles? 100 miles? I'm glad I ride a 600 :) 135 before the light

Ride a supertanker like a KLR.. .I got to 230 before I switched to reserve and then went another 20 before I stopped to fill up with just over 5 gallons. ~50mpg with a 6.1gal tank.

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

135ish to the light on the SV... more if I slow down (Or so they say)

[Woodk61000]

X2 on getting calls from the Mum or Girlfriend when they hear of a motorcycle wreck or see someone doing something stupid.

[BiggsRR07]

....you hear a motorcycle in the distance and stop everything your doing to try and figure out what kind of bike it is before it comes into view (at least I do!)

[bigmixx]

....you hear a motorcycle in the distance and stop everything your doing to try and figure out what kind of bike it is before it comes into view (at least I do!)

LOL. I do that too! "Sounds like a Yosh....probably a GSXR 600"

I can't tell displacement, but you can often tell a gixxer by how long it bounces off the rev limiter at a stoplight.

[Georgiacbr]

My helmet has Bluetooth so My phone call's go to my head LOL.

That's cold....true.....but cold :lol:

[eeeee]

your dirty clothes hamper (or pile) smells like exhaust.

[eeeee]

you instinctively lean into corners.......in your car.......and sometimes hang a knee out........ok........all the time.

[SlimDizzleATL]

Lol. I do find myself looking through corners when I drive my truck.

You know you ride when: you're a certified meteorologist, and never went to school for it.

[wallypiper]

you keep one corner of your desk cleared off for your helmet
you decide where to eat lunch based on the twistiness of the route instead of the tastiness of the food

[Eagalicious]

When you get pulled over by every unit (30+) of the Lawrenceville Police Dept during shift change because they thought you were the one doing a hundred plus miles an hour on hwy 20 at 14:00 hours, on your way to work. :rofl:

Yes it really happened to me :)

this!!!!

[ugar-6]

You take nice sweeping lines through all corners in an automobile replicating being on a bike and bitching about why everyone in front of you is so damn slow through there. You keep your eyes on the horizon, even in a car. If in a car, truck, SUV in the mountains, you see how many bikes you can keep up with or pass without crossing lines. A prerequisite to every thing you sit on that roll is "How fast can it corner?"

[Lazarus]

I get mad when all my favorite curves are open, without traffic and I"m in the car.

[louie3]

when you troll the motorcycles for sale section on craigslist, even though you already have a bike, and arent looking to buy one.

[speed-kills]

When every one you asks you advice on buying a bike even though they are never gonna step up and actually do it

[ramm]

You go through withdrawals when you're bikeless for ~2 weeks. fml.

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

You ride your Dad's big heavy cruiser in the rain and heat, amidst the idiot Florida drivers, because it's still better than being in a car.

[Eagalicious]

You go 20 miles to get home from work, when it's only 10 miles away.

I do that both ways!! :rofl:

Dude, you totally need to get one of these: http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-lp-lightweight-portable-bag.html

They're awesome!

Ok, but the ad pulled that little bag out of a backpack for half of their demos. Why not just use the backpack??? And how do you ride with two without one of them sliding all over hell?

[secondgen7]

Ha, I didn't even watch the video ... that's goofy.

I don't use mine for things that real backpacks are for but it's perfect for keeping under the passenger seat and having 'just in case'. It moves around surprisingly little (even at highway speeds) and is very lightweight so doesn't block airflow through a mesh jacket on hot days (like my normal backpack does).

Im glad I ride a v-4 and my light comes on at 180...hehe

[mackja]

When you lean off your chair at work thinking about your last track day.

[Alilyoyo1]

OK...posted these on a Florida forum
When you play a motorcycle game you fully gear up.

When your driving along in your car and you wave at other bikers.:lmfao

when your house keys and gym membership are on your motorcycle key chain.

When your sitting on your couch at home you hear a bike in the distance you jump up and run to the window to see what it is but you wont walk 2 feet to get the remote.

When you sit at your desk and go vroom vroom all day long.

You won't wash your car for months but you will wash your bike everyday

When you can strike up a conversation with a complete stranger just because they are on a bike

When you would never think about putting 93 octane in your car because its $4.20 a gallon but you will put it in your bike because you think it will give you that 1 more HP

When you have more pictures of your bike on your desk than pictures of your family/girlfriend/wife etc

When the ringer on your cell phone rings like a motorcycle growl

The neighbors hate you, but their kids love you.

You've ever taken groceries home in a back pack.

When you take pictures of your bike everywhere you go, to show people, and make sure they believe you when you tell them you have a bike.

when u put a blanket over ur bike and kiss it good night :kiss ...

[ramm]

The neighbors hate you, but their kids love you.
