You keep singing loudly to the MP3 player plugged into your ears ... even though you are now in a town stopped at a pedestrian crossing and unaware why more people than usual look at you as they walk over the crossing.

........there's a pool of water at your feet in McDonalds, - and you squelch when you walk, but you're lovin it

You know you are on tour when.....
Your first thought in the morning while doing the 3S' s routine is
"make sure you pack everything this time"
You can wash your entire wardrobe of clothes in a handsink in 15 mins, (except for the jacket, but who washes those?)
Your main concerns of the day involve gas-stations, moderately edible food and finding a cool route in the general direction you're heading today. (and making sure you packed everything)
you don't care about riding back over the 450km of yesterdays ride because you forgot to pack everything....
because you are ON TOUR!
Not that I have ever done this of course....

You know you're on tour...
...when the soft throwover saddlebags remain stiff after being emptied...
...when your saddlebags smell worse than the 4 day old socks and undies...
...when you don't have to queue at Maccas, as nobody wants to stand near you...
...when roll-on deodorant beads off you, like water from a freshly polished paintjob...
...when your helmet leaves stains on the bench at the motel...
Well, at least that's the ones I've been guilty of personally

Yup. Love that k75 seat.

... you're suffering from a bad case of perma-buff
(the realisation that you havn't taken your buff scarf off for days (and nights: cold camping-nights) and would feel naked without it)
... you forget what a real bed looks like

Huh ?? I travel light and travel fast ... don't carry much gear at all ... wallet, glasses (reading) and wet weather overs ... not much else ... maybe undies if I'm going more than three days.

... someone asks if you've come far and you reply "just got started!" after doing 600km on the go ...

... when you don't pack any clothes and just buy new ones along the way and throw away the old ones ...

Riding Qwerty
...the Tomtom says "in 50 metres turn right" and the only thing on the right is Lake Te Anau
...you have to think for a couple of seconds whether you are in Te Rapa or Hornby
...when it feels more natural to ride than to stop
...when you've already ridden six hours and think - hey its only another 500km, lets keep going
