I am into the Harley "Lifestyle" thing. Dumb.

I hate how people tell you about all the people they know (or wife's cousin's son) who have died riding a motorcycle when you tell them you have one.

Coworker asked my if I can manage my bike. I said it's in the parking lot so clearly I manage to ride it.

Wasn't really a motorcycle comment, but the guy who made a U-turn in front of me and sent me over his hood said "sorry bro, my mirrors were turned all the way in and I couldn't see you." Idiot.

Riding 2 up with the wife come in to a roundabout and drag the floor boards all the way around the wife says stop that you’re to old to do that anymore.
I’m only 58 and what does age have to do with that

I must have been all of 19 at the time. I had worked late the night before. My roommate got me up early so that we could get our pinball fix in, so we took our Hondas to a local shopping mall. We smoked a joint out in the parking lot and went inside, where a local dealership was hosting a bike show.

So, I'm following my roommate around as he's looking at the bikes when a salesman approaches me. He looks at me and asks me something about "motorcycles".

Unfortunately, the best my poor tired, stoned brain could muster was a lame "Motorcycle, huh? Yeah, it's got two wheels and an engine."

Once he collected his jaw off of the floor, he turned around and walked away.

I once had a friend tell me that a Suzuki Hyabusa (one of the fastest production sportbikes) was "technically a cruiser" because it was "bigger than a normal crotch rocket".

There's this look I get before doing donuts or lifting the front end a bit; at least my wife says there is. She does have a fantastic record for asking "Got your Blue Cross card on you?" at just the right moment so maybe she got a point.

A guy at work asked me if he could borrow my bike for a weekend. He was serious.

The last time I got the front end up a few seconds after it came down she punched me between the shoulder blades LOL But she loves it when we drop a few gears and blow past a few cages
