You know that you have been riding a while when....

[Chuck35]

When you find yourself looking for the rear view mirrors on your riding lawnmower.

You folks keep reminding me of things I actually do.

I catch myself turning my head to look through the corners on my riding lawnmower. It's just a habit.

I was mowing one day last summer when it was so nice out I would have rather been riding the bike.

I kept catching myself leaning into the turns

Ride more....mow less

 

[El Toro Joe]

Got nothing to add...but the fact that I'd rather be riding

 

[petey]

When you know that ATGATT is the only way to ride...

 

[timk]

You have a shifter indent on your left shoe.

 

[hppants]

When it's no longer about "the ride", but rather it's entirely and insaciably about.....

The Ride

 

[AVGeek]

Your favorite movies are On Any Sunday, World's Fastest Indian and Dust to Glory...

 

[gixxerjasen]

When you look around your garage and realize you have enough spare and stock parts that you could almost build another motorcycle.

 

[user 213]

When your moving/retirement plans revolve around where the best places to ride year round are.

 

[Old Guy]

When your moving/retirement plans revolve around where the best places to ride year round are.

There you've done it again. My wife and I are discussing selling out and relocating, and my first requirements are good weather and good roads.

 

[Fly Bye]

When you have riding gear for all seasons and have no trepidation about using them.

You have a shifter indent on your left shoe.

LOL, I actually wore out the top of a pair of shoes.

 

[NMRoadRunner]

When 600miles is really not that far.

 

[HotRodZilla]

You know you have been riding a while when: no matter what the weather, when you show up somewhere, someone asks, "Did you ride today?"

 

[gixxerjasen]

You have a shifter indent on your left shoe.

Hrm...why are you messing up your shoes? Just use the buttons on the handlebar.

 

[FJRBluesman]

When you walk so bowlegged everyone notices...

 

[Chuck35]

When you ride to work in the cold and rain because "hey, it isn't snow!"

 

[LCB]

You lean into the corners in your car.

...you lean into the corners while sitting at your desk, watching the moto vids people post on forums...

 

[DesignFlaw06]

When you start planning and organizing rides everywhere just so you can ride a different part of the country while meeting up with new and old friends.

When you use your cage to drop your son off to daycare, go back home and take the bike to work only to reverse the process on the way back.

When there are more roads than time.

 

[NMRoadRunner]

When 1000+ miles in 24 hours or less, is no big deal.

 

[wheatonFJR]

When 150 mph...no big deal.
