You Know You're A Motorcyclist/Stunt Rider When:

Aeon_Blue · Jun 10, 2010

I know it has probably been done before, but let's see what everyone can think up. Ready, Set, Go!!

You Know You're A Motorcyclist/Stunt Rider When:

1. You have to take a backpack and/or bungee cords when you go grocery shopping.
2. If you run around the supermarket wheeling the shopping cart (guilty)
3. If you oftentimes confuse the blinker lever in your car for you clutch.
4. If you rather ride your bike in 100 degree weather instead of using your perfectly good car with a/c.
5. If you spend sundays at the track instead of at church.
6. If eating lunch or putting gas in your bike is debatable.
7. When your g/f takes up nursing as a profession so that she knows how to doctor your wounds after a crash.
8. If the first thing you do after you get home from work is log onto gixxer.com
9. If "chicken strips" doesn't refer to the food.
10. If you store your bike in your living room rather than leave it in the garage.

11. You are NEVER completely satisfied with what you have on your bike. There's always ONE LAST part to install.
12. If you have more motorcycles than silverware.
13. If driving a car for more than an hour at a time makes you grumpy.
14. When your gas tank fills up with about 10-11 bucks.
15. When you know the new guy who brags about mile long 12 o clock wheelies is a liar just by looking at how much air he has in his rear tire.
16. When instead of buying a new a/c compressor for your car, you buy a new helmet. Hehe.
17. If the police know you on a first name basis
18. If you get pissed when someone says "Nice Ninja" and you're riding a Yamaha.
19. When you're anal about chain maintenance.
20. When you brag to EVERYONE about your first knee drag.
21. If your bike is held together with more zipties than bolts and screws
22. If you think throttle locks are for pussies.
23. When you make fun of the squids riding around doing triple digit speeds with no helmet.

Umm, i can agree with those things...i am just curious why the title is "motorcyclist/stunt rider" as if the terms "motorcyclist" and "stunt rider" are interchangeable. :scratch

BTW - why do you have former/sold bikes listed in your profile?

You crash and want to get back on.

Will Goes Boing · Jun 10, 2010

Mmmm no..... If that is a list that defines a motorcyclist.... then I guess I'm not a motorcyclist because almost none of those things you listed applies to me.

I dunno...I guess it's just outta habit, that's all. That's the way I have my profile setup over on stuntlife.com and stuntway.com. Well, actually, stuntway no longer exists. Boo.

*runs and steals your 675*

How's the ride on that bike anyhow?? I'm curious. The ONLY time I've seen one up close was in Austin last year. Over here 7 outta 10 riders has a gixxer. Honda is almost non existent here and Ducati?? Psshh..I wish.

Well I agree with you Mr Will. I mean, these are just things that apply to me in general. The list can go on and on. Just jot down whatever it is you feel that makes you a motorcyclist. Heck, if sitting on a bike at the local dealership while shouting "braaaaappp braaaaapp" makes you feel like a rider, then so be it =P

I, in no way intend to offend anyone or force what I believe upon anybody else. I guess just have fun with it. :burnout

I think TJ was just trying to point out that most on this site are track riders, not stunters :cheers

just a heads up, this site is run and populated by track riders/racers for the most part. stunting isn't looked upon well here, even though we do have a "stunts/tricks" section of the forum.

the only time most of us wheelie is when we cross the finish line...

I'll keep that in mind. Cool deals. Well, for the most part stunting is a pasttime. Something I can mess around with on the weekend and not worry about having the bike insured or up to date or anything. (Which is why I never really get a chance to ride).

This is why I'm buying the gixxer. I've always liked these bikes...even back in the day when the SRADS were around. Never fully got over GSXR's. Recently, I had a choice between the gixxer and a '05 zx10. But, I just HAD TO go with the GSXR. There's nothing I'm more fond of than taking some nice, twisty roads and enjoying the scenery or riding outta town with some friends.

Taking the curves over here is my thing. Y'know, it might take just a lil getting used to with the steering dampener on the turns. I'm not used to that device as none of my previous rides had one. But once I get comfortable enough with this bikes (and fix the clutch) I would really like to take a track day. I just don't think there's one near me. I think there's one in north Texas but I'm not sure..:dunno

Tracks in TX:

All tracks are under 9 hrs from you . . . Harris Hill is less than 4 hrs from you. For some of us, that's reasonable to make it to the track

Oak Hill Raceway, Henderson, TX
Motorsports Ranch, Cresson TX
MSR Houston, Angleton, TX
Texas World Speedway, College Station TX
Eagles Canyon Raceway (Decatur, TX)
Harris Hill Raceway, San Marcos, TX

How about adding

1. When you purchase your next bike 3 other friends of yours also purchase a bike!

2.When you find yourself checking you tire pressure very often.

3.When stoping somewhere to eat you check out the window every 2 min to check and make sure your bike is still there and not getting fucked with.
