How about when your driving your cage around because the bike is now dedicated, and you begin to approach every turn thinking about entry speed/braking, hitting the apex, and getting on the throttle (oops I meant gas pedal) just a little quicker.

I thought I was the only one that did this. It drives my wife crazy.

I had to stop doing it with my truck. I was going through to much of my tires and diesel. That money goes to the track:doh:

I've been sitting here with a pencil in hand writing down every lie I will have to give my wife 1 day before every trackday this summer. I have been doing this for many many years because I have missed her bithday 5 times our aniversary 6 times and our daughters bithday 2 times not to mention many what she calls 'special occasions'. when I get the call from my second family, ie:bike crew, the tires go on and out the door I go. I need three more lies anybody have anything good? ps my mother has already died 5 times so I can't use it anymore

13. The UPS guys asks "what is in the box" and after I open it he stays to watch me install the Ixil exhaust on my 675.

14. The pregnant wife says WTF when she see the pocket sportbike with the itty-bitty leathers and helmet.

I found myself last Summer at Six Flags trying to stick my knee out going through the turns on the roller coasters.

It's just a reflex now.

:dunno:

Have you ever opened your drivers side window so you can get more lean angle in a left turn and not hit your head?

my girlfriend says I smell like a "motorcycle" - it is the fusion vapors of gasoline, oil, brake fluid, wd40, chain lube, carb cleaner, etc.

#??. with only weeks before first t/d you start major repairs needed from last season:banghead:

I live in Chicago and have a detached garage with no insulation whatsoever (it's more like a big shed with a garage door). it's been in the single digits there for weeks at a time, so the off-season is truly OFF for me. I pulled the suspension and flat-slides out in the fall, drained the gas tank and replaced the water with antifreeze. I'm supposed to get my suspension and carbs back in a week or so and I'm itching to put it together again.
I hope that explains my girlfriend's comment

That's the new Cologne from Ben Spies.

It's called "eau de bike".

It makes everything you ride a screamer.

- Desperately trying to figure out how to lose 10 lbs so I can get into those new leathers I bought (same size as the old ones - new found middle over the winter).

- Figuring out how to tell my wife I bought new leathers!
