No not that, what I mean is make motorcycle noises. Surely every one of us occasionally has to let out a little "braap" from time to time.
What I am wondering is this- Does anyone else feel their clutch fingers tense up and their left foot rise slightly when they "shift gears"?
Does anyone else ever- when navigating this invisible track- panic rev a jump or keep it pinned in the "air" to make sure you get maximum drive when you land to huck the next "Double"?
I know I'm not the only one that sometimes puts the outside elbow out and leans forward while rounding a corner- on foot.
Anyone ever pull a fake tear-off? (Besides me?)
Do a fake Whip? (or nac-nac) I always have to do the look back style of whip Or nac.
Anyone else that ate up with it?

I have sometimes been busted by my kids for squaring off the stairs and jumping down the whole lot while holding imaginary handlebars and uttering a noise strangely similar to a CR500.

Best part is throwing down a classic block pass on someone who doesn't know they're getting block passed. Same thing with a brake check. You've just got to throw out a little braaap when you pull out one of those maneuvers.
Getting out the front door with my kids has at least one block pass (or hip check into the boards... used to play hockey when i was a wee little one) as we race to see who is last to the truck!
yeah... i know.. a 6 year old in a 46 year old body!
Also, usually right after riding a real bike, on the drive home I have this urge to stick my leg out around turns. Ever see a diesel F-250 square off a city corner?
I drive past a golf course next to the freeway near my house, I have an imaginary track all planned out and piss my wife off by pointing out in great detail the tabletops, berms, sand sections etc ever time we drive by. I find myself doing the braaap noise and hand gestures when explaining it to her, she doesn't get it...........nor do my non moto friends.
Pit Row
Me too.
My son and I take turns block passing each randomly in the house.
A good braaaap sound is required when making that kind of aggressive psuedo-race move.
My wife really loves when I block pass her going up the stairs at night too, followed by a BBBRRAAAPPPP.
Not sure if this puts me in contention for parent of the year; but my daughters first legible words were in response to "How does Daddy's motorcycle go" Her response was a tear jerking, "BBBBRRRRAAAPPPP"
How many think the light turning green at a stop light represents the drop of the gate? I dump the imaginary clutch on my stearing wheel every time!
I yelled out GO! and both said Baaaahhhh, braaaaaah, braahhhhhh as they took off across the back yard. They've got it already. Everytime we pass a construction site my 9 y/o asks seriously, "is that a track dad?" As I'm already thinking, that' make a cool riding spot.
I totally do that too.
