Years ago I was somewhat of a wine geek. I remember a list entitled “You know you’re a wine geek when…” My favorite, actually the only one I remember, was “You know you’re a wine geek when you can say the word bunghole with a straight face.”
Led me to think about compiling a list for motorcycle geeks. Here’s one to start, “You know you’re a motorcycle geek when you think J Lo rides for Yamaha”
Feel free to add.
August 22, 2009 at 1:42 am #21870owlieParticipantYou know you’re a motorcycle geek when wearing black leather to your favorite vehicle dealership is socially acceptable and even stylish.
August 22, 2009 at 6:47 am #21874MunchParticipantYou know you’re a motorcycle geek when you have more riding gear then street/dress clothes.
August 22, 2009 at 8:53 am #21878eternal05ParticipantYou know you’re a motorcycle geek when you find yourself checking the BBM forums incessantly all day at work in the hope that you can live vicariously through somebody who’s actually getting to ride.
August 23, 2009 at 2:14 pm #21893pixiedustParticipantYou know you’re a motorcycle geek when you “tuck your bike in” at night when closing the garage.
August 25, 2009 at 1:43 pm #21910WeaponZeroParticipantYou know you’re a motorcycle geek when you look at a picture of a scantily clad girl straddling a motorcycle and the first thought that pops into your head is “Where’s the riding gear? ATGATT!”
August 25, 2009 at 2:25 pm #21913ranetteParticipantNow there’s a keeper!
August 25, 2009 at 11:01 pm #21923MunchParticipantWell thats does it…not a motorcycle geek… I still think, where’d the bike go!
August 27, 2009 at 8:12 am #21961SafetyFirstParticipantWhen you know exactly how many groceries will fit in your backpack or tailbag, and that a bag of chips will fit just fine under your jacket on the ride home from the store.
August 27, 2009 at 1:44 pm #21964JackTradeParticipantI use a bungie net, and when I stop at the store for groceries, I’ll frequently buy things that I didn’t actually stop for, based on size and shape, so that they fill out the net just right (too few items and it won’t be snug, too many, won’t fit).

you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you wanna update the CDI’s Firmware
you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you try to solve the problem just restarting the bike
you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you use a Clone Trooper helmet
you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you change the bulbs to computer controlled RGB LED’s
you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you dismiss an 1000cc motor to adapt a washer machine engine
you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you install a computer’s fan to cool your 50cc bike
you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you go to a motorcycle store and ask for a Batpod tire
you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you talk about the bike performance in “gigahertz” instead “RPMs”
you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you say your bike has “dual core processor” instead “two cylinders” engine
you know you’re a motorcycle geek when you visit stuff like this, and feel no shame of it !

One definition is: “a carnival performer who does wild or disgusting acts”
…I witnessed 2 riders pulling wheelies to see who could lick their front fender, they must qualify. -
