You Know You Are A Biker When...

Ashpillai · 22nd January 2009, 09:56

A music video has a hot babe on a bike and you go: Wow What a Bike!!

bansal.r15 · 26th January 2009, 13:45

when you have an accident and you think about your bike getting damaged before your own broken bones.

naveenroy · 17th June 2009, 21:00

You wear your riding gear to office (including gloves) with a good helmet!

When this happens to your bike. This happened just yesterday.

When you wear riding boots, and stick your leg out on the ground whenever you stop, in a car.

when you open piggy bank for your ride to himalayas
When a car driver looks at you and your bike enviously

spadival · 18th June 2009, 11:29

.. when you hate Jeremy Clarkson?

MavericK46 · 21st July 2009, 13:00

When you discuss leaning into a corner with your brother who rides a cycle to school

True story.

When you open a New Bank account towards saving for your Next Bike....
( In Process of doing that

When you read a thread like :Trip to Leh..we did it on bikes" and do not open the thread out of sheer jealousy that you couldn't do it because you didn't have the time or the money!!

You know you are biker, when you pickle and preserve your bike for over 18 years in the fond hope that in your retirement atleast you would get to ride her on regular basis (with a fonder hope that your bones will still allow it and can keep my son away from it).

"Only" 5 more yeas to go! Yahooooo!

Best Regards

When you plan a long road trip on your bike a TVS 50XL(thats all i had then)

I lean into turns sometimes when I'm driving.

kolimuttai · 23rd July 2009, 16:55

When your wife screams and curses of local rossies ripping on a 2stroke around early morning, and you feel - Well, good morning... Where is my tea.

When you have the hottest four-wheelers money can buy in your garage (including a WRC-spec Subaru Impreza) but still prefer riding your Fat Boy to work almost every day (or occasionally a Ducati/Fireblade/R1) even when the tar is melting at 45degrees, that's when you know that you've seen the baap of bikers.

Not me, but someone I know here in Delhi who fits that description. He's a true-blue fourwheeler nut also, but his devotion to biking is something I can't think of anyone else coming close to. He can fly a chopper to work everyday and not feel the pinch. But has been riding bikes regularly for more than two decades that I remember knowing him.

He's also a very humble human being.

When you fall 10 times.
Each fall worse than the last one.
The latest one gets the engagement broken.
When your father is as passionate and dreams of riding the desmocedeci on a moto gp track.
When you work every alternate sunday to collect for your first SBK.

Can go on and on actually.
NEXT

(p.s. When the kids in your building respect you and your machine more than their Fathers, especially when they see you returning from a hard amby ride, fully geared)
