When you've had the bike for a year, and you still go out in the garage just to look at it.

Or when it's a tropical storm and so you can't ride, so you tear the bike down and put her back together (cleaning everything along the way of course), just so you can spend some time with the bike.


AMEN! I make trips to the back door just to take a look at the bike.

when you clean your bike, lube the chain and check tire pressure....... but never really seem to have time to clean or fix the other cars.

when your wife tells you that you love the bike more then you love her :eek:

when you have a set of clothes at most of your family and friends house so that you can ride there no matter the occasion.

Leave work clothes at work so that I can get changed when I get done riding to work

I think I have more clothes other places than at home( just realized that):rockon:

Beer and Bike like water and oil thus the reason I have my own tooth brush at my best friends house

When you have 29 broken bones, are still having to use a walker to get around, and you still go and buy another bike.

When you ride to work every day ATGATT, but dont have anywhere to put a change of clothes so you wear a suit under the riding gear.

Also if you go up north for a guys golf week and it looks like a scene from the beverly hillbillies you have so much stuff piled on the back of the bike including saddlebags, golf clubs, fireworks, a duffle for clothes and a duffle for booze (I was one bag lighter on the way back)

AND even when they are not ok :eek:

OK CALI BOY, we of the north have this little thing called snow. :spank:

When the snow banks are as tall as your fender, but the sun melts the stuff on the road and you grab the keys and the helmet. (This was the last ride last year to put the bike in storage. FYI street tires don't like climbing over snow to get to the storage shed. :( )

When you wreck your leg and bike and still ride the 450 miles home with your handlebars ****ed sideways and your shift peg held on with a screwdriver and electrical tape. :rockon:

You feel like washing the bike but it's just not dirty enough to justify so you take a 200 mile ride in the evening to get enough bugs on the front end to necessitate a wash!

...when you are coming up to an intersection on a bicycle and your left thumb flails around trying to locate the turn signal switch.

This happened to me this weekend while visiting my parents in IL. My mom and I went on a bicycle ride and I did that twice.
