Here are a few from a similar thread on my website a few years ago...

...You get up at 5.30 on Sunday , load the trailer, drive 2 hours to be at the track ready to race but your are always late for work.

...You try and explain to your wife how the inside line is the fastest way through the kitchen.

...Your dogs name is sprocket

...You block pass a 10year old girl on the go-karts and stuff her into the wall of tyres.

...You shoulder the seniors out of the way at Sizzler to get to the dessert section first, throwing off a tear off for good measure.

...You admire the moto-x boogers you dig out of your nose on Sunday nights

...When an Angry motorist abuses you for cutting them off and you yell back......'HEY, THATS RACIN"

...VitalMX is your home page.

...You're constantly changing the brake pads on the car more than usual - due to an obsessive need to brake as late as possible when approaching corners....while you hold the steering wheel with your elbows up.

...And if you've got a road registered dirt bike to commute around the city - you're always "on the pegs" ...none of this sitting down crap!

...you know ur a real racer when, ur lying in hospital after a big get off and the first thing u ask the doc is, how long till i can ride again.... the look on his face is priceles

....when you bubba scrub speed humps in your van

....when you have a big crash and are laying on the track with a broken leg and the first thing you ask is if your bike is ok

...when you go to work sick and save your sick days for traveling to and from races

..... you can remember every suspention setting for every track on every bike you've ever owned but cant remember your mums birthday.

...You won't buy a house cos it has no shed for your dirt bike or room for your moto stuff

...Every time you see a number you relate it to someones MX number... "I catch the Jeff Emig bus then swap to the Mike LaRocco to make it work on time"

...When your boss has a "talk" with you because most of your day consists of searching for better parts and better riding locations on google earth

...When you recorded your bike revving or recorded the sound of you riding, and set it as your ringtone.

Yes!

And when you exit the corner you give it a handful throttle in your mind.
