I'll start...

...you don't start lame ass threads about how you're addicted to riding, but instead go out when you can, where you can, with buddies, alone, night, day, rain, shine, with destination or not, now matter what time of the month it is... :laugh


... you wake up in the middle of the night with insomnia, go out to the garage, and mount your bike to relax.

... have a stack of bike magazines in the bathroom for those nights when you just ate a little too much Mexican food.

... you name your bike(s).

... AFTER a long ride, you still walk away backwards from your bike admiring her longingly.

-when you ignore a 40% chance of rain, get caught in it and then get pissed at mother nature
-when buying mods is second to paying bills
-when you walk out to the garage for no reason to make sure she didnt vanish
-when a car full of girls pulls up shootin you a smile and wavin and you rev it to redline and then laugh at them cuz they thought it was for them


Hope none of these are repeats

when you try to wave at another motorcycle, while driving a car.

when you try to lane split once you hit traffic on the freeway, before realizing that it's not a good idea...because you are driving a car.

I don't know you, Chief, but I know the pain and gain of what you're going through. All the best to you, and as they say, "everything happens for a reason".

Speaking of which, why is it that when I'm riding and I whip it out...as soon as the tip touches my gas tank, I get an instant boner....does that mean I am addicted to riding?

Sorry to hear Ant. On the bright side, after 6 years it was probably time to trade her in on a new model.

You can borrow my wife for the weekend, but you gotta take the baby too. :)

Thanks so much to everyone. I truly appreciate the support. Didn't mean to bring this thread down like I did.

You know you're addicted when your breakup support is the R6-forum. :laugh

You know you're addicted to riding when someone points out at midnight at the bar when you pull up on someone else's bike that it's 41 degrees and you didn't even notice or care. :laugh

You're addicted to riding when the cops look at like, seriously? It's midnight and this is the 4th time I've seen this bike around town???

You're addicted to riding when you buy parts and fix someone else's bike so you have something to ride.
