How many of these apply to you?

1. I have gone riding when I was depressed, or to cheer myself up.

2. I have gone on riding binges of several tanks of gas or more in a day.

3. I ride rapidly, often 'gulping' roads.

4. I have sometimes ridden early in the morning or before work.

5. I have hidden bikes in different places to sneak a ride in without being seen.

6. Sometimes I avoid friends or family obligations in order to ride motorcycles.

7. Sometimes I find myself analyzing sections of roads as if I was riding even while in cars.

8. I am unable to enjoy myself with others unless there is a bike nearby.

9. At a boring party, I will often slip off unnoticed to go riding.

10. Riding has made me seek haunts and companions which I would otherwise avoid.

11. I have neglected personal hygiene or household chores until I have finished a ride.

12. I have spent money meant for necessities on accessories instead.

13. I have attempted to complete an Iron Butt ride.

14. Most of my friends are heavy motorcycle riders.

15. I have sometimes passed out from a night of heavy riding.

16. I have suffered 'blackouts' or memory loss from a bout of riding.

17. I have wept, become angry or irrational because of a road I have ridden.

18. I have sometimes wished I did not ride so much.

19. Sometimes I think my riding is out of control.

If you answered 'yes' to three or more of these questions, you may be a motorcycle addict. Affirmative responses to five or more indicates a serious problem.

What's the issue? There's nothing wrong with any of those points.

What kind of a softy would worry about any of that??

No. 11 describes my weekends beautifully.

There are about 4 that don't apply....6 & 7 ring a clear bell.I see no problem here,but maybe we should all undergo regression by hypnosis to find out what unspeakable things were done to us as babies....then we can go out and molest babies to keep motorcycling alive.

Without being too specific only three could not be directly answered as yes. I have a problem but don't care.

I also have a confession to make, 3+ gf's have been binned in favour of keeping the bike. :confused: :weep:
