I see the name "Garcia", and I immediately think it's a typo
The word "boxer" looks funny with only 1 X.

Your mind is too "bike focussed" when..

Haha, no kidding. Especially driving through the mountains in Colorado, you see lots of lines that would be fun or atleast you think it woudl be nice to "try" some of them.Originally posted by - seb
So true!
Also i can never go anywhere in a car or on a train without looking at the terrain out the window, thinking "yep, nice trail there, ooh, could transfer off of that, could get some air off of that bump, wow look at that hill over there" etc
Or you wonder how much travel there is in a 2-week suspension.
when you can't see a can of Red Bull without thinking of the Rampage.

or when you compare car rotor sizes to bike rotors, or calculate that you have more suspension travel in 1 wheel of your bike than all 4 corners of your car
When you point your toes thru a turn instead of resting your foot on the brake.
when you try to hold an inside line and pinch someone out of a corner.
If your in a resurant and ask for a dorado instead of utensils.

I had to write a bunch of crap for a math class, and when I came upon 1X1, well... you know...
when you keep your bike and all your armor in the car at all times just in case you'll be in the neighbourhood of a mountain during the week...
...or maybe i'm just lazy....
...or maybe i'm just lazy....
your armour (and car) must smell great!
it smells, err, utilitarian
When you're riding around parks and you're ogling bikes more than you ogle women.
or the mear sound of a wizzing chain and tires grabs your immediate attention....
...creates some confusion when people think you're scoping out whoever happens to be riding the bike, not the bike itself....
i can associate with most of the things mentioned above
dunno if thats such a good thing

When your kid says there's a monster under the bed and you think of 7 inches of buttery travel.
monsters actually have 8 inches o travel
mine are the old ones
Exactly. I'll be sitting on my computer with the window open, hear a bike ride by and instantly start critiquing it and examining its specs from my chair even if its just a walmart bike
When you're driving and go to brake hard by grabbing the headlight/indicator wands instead of stepping on the brake.
When you wonder whether you've lost a few pins out of your brake/accelerator/clutch pedals.
When you can't feel fully dressed without a pair of gloves on.
When you think $100 is expensive for a car tyre, then go and spend $120 on an MTB tyre ($au prices).
When you're hesitant to sit on a park bench because somebody could use it for riding on.
Ahh the list goes on..

I lurch in bed alot dreaming I'm bunny hopping, jumping or hucking something. It usually wakes my wife up and she freaks out and wakes me up, my response is always, "why did you wake me up that trail was sweet."
When you are cresting a hill in your car and have to fight off the urge to try an X up..
I had a dream the other night I spun in a burm, and i kicked wildly and woke myself up
when your in traffic, and thinking of how fast you would be going if you were riding a bike
...you post using the name "Acadian"....
* Whenever you spot a bike(s) on a car, you immediately try to fight through traffic and get close enough to ID and subsequently critique said bike....
* Even if you were not racing, you would probably consider paying some nominal fee just to walk around and drool over all the dope rides...
* Now when you see the word 'Porn', you think of some bad azz, pimped out DH / FR bike...Now that's a serious problem
:
* While many of your friends are considering summer vacations to some sort of beach or tropical island, you stun them by flatly declaring you're going to a ski resort in Canada this July...
* When someone talks about hitting DJs, you're not thinking about beating up some half wit radio announcer...
* You have a shirt with the word 'Bullit' on it, along with the trademark target symbol - and you don't give a flying F about Charleston Heston...It's also great to have camo wearing, toothless rednecks ask you about what kind of hunting round you use after reading your shirt (and not realising 'Bullet' is spelled differently)...
* 'Progressive' is no longer a term you apply to certain types of music...
* You enjoy watching people's jaws drop when you tell them how much your bike is worth...
* Your friends are still mystified as to how you managed hurt yourself at a 'yardsale'...
* You have AFLAC supplemental insurance...That way you can actually pay for a new wheelset if and when you break your collarbone...
* You only ride with people who are strong enough to drag your mutilated body back to the car in case of a mishap...Or you at least make sure they have a small fire arm which can be used to end your horrific suffering after a bad yardsale....

When your at the grocery store and your thinking, "well if i just drink water and buy top ramen i could use all this money on a new seat".
...when your bike(s) cost more than your car(s).
...when you have to check your race schedule before planning "social" functions.
...when you notice one day that your two-car garage has somehow become a stable/workshop for a half-dozen bikes, numerous spare parts, even a few burned out carcasses of what used to be bikes and your cars are outside in the driveway!

While in a car you find yourself constantly looking out the window for terrain for trails, stunts, and jumps.
When you're playing Vice city and get a motor cycle and do stair gaps, gaps, drops, etc....
When you're on RM posting even though you have exams tomarrow

when you try to hold on to an imaginary handle bar while hiking
...you hear a song on the radio/cd/somewhere and you automatically start editing a movie section to the soundtrack.
...you hear a song from (insert riding video here) and you black out to the real world and only see the section of that song/movie in front of you.
...you wake up in the middle if class and declare that you want to jump off a really big cliff. (then spend the next couple dazed minutes explaining your not suicidal)
...you cant even go to formal function (wedding, Prom, Black and white event) without wearing some type of cycling clothes.(yes i wore a set of TLD sock and hat to my senior Ball this saturday)
...you meet a new girl and the first thing you think of is how good she would look in your jersey and D2.
... you are insulted with the word "D*CK-NOSE" and you interpret it as an attack on your jumping style.
(ALL of the above are takin from experiences in the last 48 hours...damn thats sad)
