Yep, I still do this when driving. Worlds longest RBSR tracks in my mind.
OP, I point them out to my wife and yell like a little kid....DIRTBIKE!!!

YUP, still get pumped and have to catch a vehicle with a bike or bikes if I see one ahead of me or slow down and check it out if I see one coming my way. The wife isn't nearly as thrilled to check them out and busts my balls for grinning like a kid :-)

I saw a truck with two bikes on at a red light in Chicago the other day. You don’t see many bikes in the city so I found myself wondering where they had been

The reason I think we all take note is we are part of an extremely small, very fortunate and, I personally believe, very gifted riders.

The number of people even if you were to include your typical street bike motorcyclists who possess the bravery and skill to ride even a single lap and just roll each jump around most mx tracks with others riders soaring overhead and screaming by without whiskey throttling themselves into the back of someone's pickup truck ala Brandon are so few and far between that when we see someone else who is part of such a small brotherhood we cannot help but notice.

Glad to know I am not the only one. I try to see what year it is and if it has mods.

I always point and make dirt bike sounds. The family is amazed at my ability as to how I can pick them out in heavy traffic too. And my son always has to tease me do the fact that my sound effects are bad. "Dad, you sound like a lawn mower".

We need to get a group together and do those two doubles along side Mid Vallee golf course on 41.

How many of you have been fooled and let down, when from a distance you think that is a bike??? Be honest!

Probably been to the police station to recover the bikes.

Yes, that unspoken brotherhood of shared passion and experience when we see other riders on the road...then we get home and get on Vital MX and shred each other over everything we can possibly think of. Woohoo

Yes me too. Especially when I'm driving on vacation and I'm far from home. Always wonder what their doing and where they're going. It also reminds me there's more peeps like me that dig dirt bikes all over this beautiful country.

I was riding my ninja down a road last week where we used to ride dirt all the time when it was legal. Came across a couple kids coming out of the woods on mx bikes and had to give them a wave.

Today I can hear someone riding a 4T near my house. Trying to figure where the sound is coming from and looking at google maps to see where innthe woods their track might be.

Jealous. Lol.

Lump me in this observation as well...Seeing rolling hills makes me think of giant whoops. Every time I see prime real estate I'm like man that would be a great place for a track...

Yes, I always try to see what kind of bike it is. Thankfully I still get to put my bike in the back of my pickup pretty often.
