How to tell you're a sport bike junkie..

#1 Post by Samray » Wed Mar 05, 2008 11:18 pm

You can quote all of your bikes specs, but can't remember your anniversary.

You take the long way everywhere and still get there first.

You define "fourplay" as a 50 mile street ride.

You brake so late you don't see God you see Elvis.

You get a tell-tale facial tick every year at new model time.

You measure all purchases in terms of the number of tires you could have bought.

You have only motorcycle shops programmed into your speed dialer.

You use racing lines when pushing a shopping cart at the grocery store.

You consider 10,000 rpm "midrange".

You refer to the corner at the end of your street as "Turn One".

You can never get a decent racing line with a Tesco trolley, you always get too much "Chatter" on the front end! :smt003 :smt003

Thats cos you didnt set the suspension up properly... easy enough to fix.. hit one with a VFR400..... :smt011

Now ive got rid of the VFR, I just use my son.


*edited to add..*

..to help drag the back end down and therefore lessen the rake on the front... weigh the back down... errm.. why is a NSPCC bloke stood at the door...?
