1) Stop whatever you are doing/stop talking to whomever you are talking to hear a nice bike ride on by.

2) Give the wave/nod to riders even when you are in a cage.

Ride your bike to work every day but still have to pick up the kids after work. So after work, you ride home, pick up the mini van so you can pick up the kids.

I do this two days a week. Luckily I live between work and school.

I gotta boss this thread...sorry

YOU MIGHT BE A MOTORCYCLIST IF:

If you paid more for bike tires last year than you did for clothes

If you sometimes buy premium gas for your bike, even though it doesn’t need it, just because you want to show it you care…

If you can’t walk away from your parked bike without looking back at least once to “see if it’s okay”…

If the return address on all your outgoing mail is those little sticky labels from the AMA…

If you ever detoured 100 miles out of your way just to catch 20 miles of twisties…

If your life partner has ever said to you,“You’re getting awful cranky lately —
maybe you should go for a ride”…

If your carry-on luggage on the plane is a tankbag…

If you buy earplugs in packs of a dozen…

If you ever tried to teach your dog to ride on the bike with you…

If your idea of “taking it easy” is only riding 200 miles today…

If you ever went for a ride when you were sick, rationalizing that it might make you feel better…

If you stare out the window of an airplane, trying to imagine what it would be
like to ride the roads you’re passing over…

If seeing something leaking out of your motorcycle causes you more anguish than seeing your own blood…

lol Here's the rest from the link I had..Good stuff...ENJOY

If you ditch cars all together and just ride the bike everyday, everywhere.
If you refused a ride to meet your friends and ride your bike when it's cold and rainy.
If you giggle at the wind pusing your bike and at little squirms from wet road.
If you are thinking, this very moment writing this, that you should go for a ride.

And here I was thinking talking to your bike and stopping, turning around to check on it was normal!

I always talk to my bike, and she talks back . After every ride, I tell her that it was a good ride. LOL.

I am so guilty of most of these things. I was sitting outside talking to a friend of mine lastnight when a black 08 went past with a SS Yoshi pipe. I said without realising "ooh a black Ninja with a stainless steel Yoshi pipe." My friend rolled her eyes and hit me. I just ed back

... If you make up some reason to have a break from work just to check on your bike. (I am really guilty of this, especially when it is cold outside! Ha ha ha.)
