You know you're a real biker when......

You're not afraid to use vasaline

You buy toothbrushes for the sole purpose of chain cleaning

You keep Swarfega by the kitchen sink

When asked 'What you been up to?' Biking is the only answer

You check BCF at least 3 times a day

You nod at every bike, even when in the car

You spend you last fiver on fuel instead of food

You check weather forecasts daily

Sundays are bike days. Kinda like church - but better Smile

Anybody think of any more?

When you ride to work all winter in a one piece race suit?

Tell your mates you can't afford to go drinking then spend £50 on a new visor?

Laugh at anyone who suddenly turns up on a bike at work in the middle of summer and steals all your parking in the bike sheds, even though youve never seen that bike or any of the others in the shed all winter?

Dont go out this weekend as your buying a new lid and cant afford to drink. Smile

You get your bike out in the sunshine even if you dont plan on riding it.

Put it on your lips etc to stop you getting cold. In extreme weather conditions you could also put in on your legs and arms, possibly combined with clingfilm, so you can stay warm whilst wearing tight leathers.

You know you're a real biker when...

You go and meet your mates in the pub on your bike, even though you wont be able to drink (much Wink ).

Most of your clothes have small grease marks all over them.

Just be careful your current bike doesn't find it or she won't let you ride her!

When you can't be bothered to get off to walk to the bin with your empty can of beer, so start it up and ride the 5 yards instead. Embarassed

Edit: that might just be laziness taken to the extreme, but it was funny.

Well i've done snow.

First day I rode my bike to work was in snow, I'd just bought the bike and done the cbt 1 week before, does that make me a real biker.

Or just stupid ....???
