120) U are with you wife ,then You stop talking , a back ground sound :a bike reving around 13000 rpm passing 2 miles away .then you continue conversation
31) As it appears to have missed in the order - you know that Birmingham Small Arms is really BSA and you actually bought one as a basket case as a 12 year old kid , rebuilt it, rode it, tickled the Amal Carbs and used the decompression release so that you didnt break your leg on the kickstart. Oh and the fibreglass tank on my 441 Victor in Red and White looked good.
You live in a province with 8 and a half months of -40 degree winters and have 2 bikes and no cars.
You are seriously considering another bike.
You consider liposuction not because of vanity but because it is cheaper per pound than carbon fibre.
123) You sell some of the finest cages on the planet (Porsche & Audi)--for a living--and every time someone walks on the lot, the conversation always leads to talk of carbon fiber rear huggers, sprocket sizes and SS brake lines, ending with the customer heading over to the Honda shop!

156) T-shirt, jeans and riding boots become your everyday office wear.
157) You dream about tooling around on a motorcycle and you hear the engine cranking up, when all of a sudden you awake.................
and you hear a motorcycle howling down the street next to your house.

159) You tell your girlfriend that you would buy her an engagement bike, because when you look at the price of a diamond you think of it in terms of mods for your bike.
How do you know you girlfriend is a obsessed with motorcycles?
161) when people ask you about your honeymoon in the smokey mountains your first response is "I wish I had rented that motorcycle for longer than 2 hours"
Infinitely adjustable, made of the finest materials available, and completely sourced from local suppliers -- gotta support the local economy! Order today and know handlebar Nirvana.
164) You relocate from the Great White North to the U.S. of A. to buy litre bikes at a price less than what CDN dealers pay cost for same.
165) You buy an RC51 when you know the ergos are gonna kill your old worn out body.
166) You keep buying Gixxers and trade down every year (1000-750-600) because you're cheap and then in the 4th year you suck it up and start all over again with the 1K , and the 'cycle' (no pun intended) repeats itself.
167) You think buying a Ducati 1098 as a piece of artwork and parking it in your living room would be cool.
I had my z750 all ready to be stored in my appartment until I found out that my insurance was not going to cover it in that situation. That would have been so cool. In the middle of winter when I was really wishing I could ride I would have sat on it and watched "Super Bikes" on Spike TV. *sigh* I had it all planned out!

172. It's the middle of February, you're sitting in your office looking out the window at another snowy day, 23 degrees with 30mph winds, your motorcycles are safely tucked away under their covers, and instead of working you spend all day on the Wristtwisters Riders Forum TALKING ABOUT MOTORCYCLES!
Without a doubt the funniest post I have ever read. My face and stomach are still hurting from laughing so hard. I feel so relieved that what everybody around me considers to be weird is really just commonplace for motorcycle riders.
173) Knowing exactly how BIB the Michellin man feels when he is inspecting tires. Sad to let the last one go, but happy to see the next one.
