    Talking You know it's been a great ride when...

    ... at the next rest stop, the guys in the back say "What did you guys do to that old couple walking back there? The old woman was stomping her feet and screaming her head off!"


    That was a fun road.


    How do YOU know?

    ...nobody crashed or got pulled over

    or on a more positive note...your butt hurts, your wrists hurt, your head hurts, and you clocked up several hundred miles in one day

    or...you're loading your bike back into the truck/trailer/minivan after a dry weather track day

    when you're just about to pass out and look over and she's still sweating with that "holy shit was that the whole roman army that just fucked me" look in her eyes and a smile so wide it lights up the dark room...

















    .......oh, wait

    Re: You know it's been a great ride when...

    ... u can still feel it the next day.

    ... knee pucks have some fresh scratches and flat spots/chicken strips are nowhere to be found.

    ... u didn't have to slab it for more than 15% of the ride.

    ... your fairing stay breaks (more specifically your weak aluminum fairing stay that can't handle aggressive riding).

    ... you get that feeling of accomplishment once you realize you have spent more money on gas in a day than you usually do in weeks.

    Best thing I saw was a fat dude on a regular wheel chair holding onto a fat woman in a motorized wheel chair getting pulled along. I almost crashed I was laughing so hard.

    ..you actually get a chance to go for a rip? ( know what I mean )

    ..any past memories of city life are long erased from memory after a ride on that secret road in Vermont that I'm still looking for.

    ..you need to use oven cleaner to get rid of the bugs on your bike!

    ...after getting the typical lecture from Mr. Officer, he says get the hell outta here, and by the way, you look hot in those leathers.

    ...you ride out at dawn and get to watch the sun set on the horizon as you finally head for home.
