do you ever find yourself doing this?

[marcv125]

i sometimes find myself just going into the garage to look at my bike. I dont know why but i just do? can you tell me why?

 

[crkid]

so i'm not the only one. i do it all the time. sometimes when i'm bored i try to find things to do work on with my bike. i should put a bed in the garage cause i spend most of my time there (that or the trails).

 

[JPIVEY]

LOL, yes, I do it all the time, it's like I want to go ride or work on it or something,but when I get out there I just drink my coffee and look at it :cool:

 

[desert_racer]

Guilty .... I have the same problem ... Just go out and see if there is something that I can do to it..... Or one of the 50 projects that I have going.

 

[Wolf]

Ha! Guilty, just like all of you. Thought I was nuts, well, I am, but so are you!

 

[YZDezertGuy]

Guilty as well! Most of the time I find myself sitting on my bike on the stand pretending that I am riding the track. I am glad to find I am not the only one w/ this sort of problem!

 

[JUSTRIDE415]

i do that too i go out in the garage work on my **** (1996 300 ex) thats in about 100 pieces at the moment or tear my bike apart and clean it or think of ways to improve it sometimes i sit in my mom's 2002 thunderbird she loves that car and would kill my dad and i if she found out i drove it:p :)

 

[WaltCMoto]

Yup, did it just an hour ago. I took the silencer off to repack it. Ill do it tomorow though. Then the next day Ill put it back on. Its a labor of love. :)

drive downtown with your bike in the back of your truck. watch it go by in the storefront reflections.:cool:

 

[Sawblade]

Whats worse is going to the garage, setting on your bike and going braaap... Honey what was that noise in the garage, nothing dear just the neighborhood kids! :eek:

 

[ktmboy]

Yeh, the walking around it in the garage part, staring at it is foreplay!:p

 

[marcv125]

good i thought i had a problem or somthin. but we dont it is just part of owning a dirt bike i guess. oh yeah good idea about the storefront reflections
:)

 

[BigBore]

Yup. Sometimes I'll put my bike up on the stand and just do laps around it. Maybe climb up on it, twist the throttle a couple times, pop the clutch in and out, give the front brake a few tugs. I do the storefront window thing everytime my bike is in my truck.

I really, really......really like my bike. :)

 

[marcv125]

its llike our brains are telling us to do something to the bike even though it doesnt need it. wonder if anyone has ever gotten into a crash b/c they were looking at their bike in a storefront window??

I try and be smart about it......I only look when I'm parked at a stop light!
:eek:

I'm pretty sure it's genetic.:think And yes, I get a big smile everytime I leave for work and come home and see the bike sitting on the stand in the garage! I'm with BigBore-I really, really, REALLY like my bike! It's my favorite toy!:)

 

[Jimmy!]

HAHAHA! Guilty as charged! :)

I don't have to go through the garage when I leave the house... but I always do because that is where the bike is. As I walk by my Gas Gas I always give it a good slap on the seat. "Good bike... stay... stay... we'll go riding soon I promise"

 

[XRpredator]

I'll go out and fire the sucker up at least once a week, just to get it warmed up. Gotta smell a few fumes just to get the ol' blood a pumpin', Itellyouwhat!

 

[LVMarc]

All these stories remind me of a scene the "The animal" the movie that was just out where the guy has a bunch of animal organs transplanted to his body. He starts getting uncontollable animal urges In the scene he sees a female goat, and the sexy music starts playing and he starts struttin his stuffand goes up to the goat and goes "baby, you got it goin on" and slaps its behind. (the goat kicks him and it goes no further) but I just imagine ya'll wearing your gear, strutting your stuff, slappin the seat on your bike....

Oh I have to check on mine every day..fired it up yesterday just to hear it running!! My wife will ask "is it still there" when she hears the garage door shut..I always chuckle as I have been busted again!;)

 

[YZThumper]

LOL !!! I thought I was just a dirt bike nerd, but it seems everyone has the same genetic disfunction. Every time I get up in the morning, I go out to the garage to look at the bikes. I love to ride through town with my bike(s) on the back of the truck and watch the expression on peoples faces, especially on little kids :eek: .

 

[marcv125]

yes even if you have just one bike in the back you can read the lips on the kids saying "that bike is cool" i dunno but it makes me feel good. Bringing more kids into the dirt biking world!!!

 

[Jamir]

That is funny, it to me, it always looks like they are saying "That fat dude rides that thing?"

Back on the subject, I walk out the garage every day on my way to work just to see my baby!

 

[marcv125]

yz thumper your signiture also gave me another question to you all. do you ever notice when you crash pretty hard everyone is asking how are you, are you ok? but the words that always come out of my mouth is "hows the bike" . im saying this as i am dripping blood, but i am always worrying about the bike more than myself..???hmmmm:)
