... when the motorcycle cop waves at you, and then pulls over the SUV doing 10 under the speed limit in front of you.

... random attractive girls asking if they can ride with you sometime.

... when my pup has learned to sit nicely and wait to be released before doing a flying tackle when I get home

... When you wave a bike (or group of bikes) through from your cage even though you have the right of way and there is other traffic behind you

...waiting and laughing at the fact that you can't get that damned light to change.

I love this thread

...like an open road and only two wheels with which to enjoy it.

...like checking the forum and finding a great thread such as this.

...like being stuck in the work cage on a perfect day for a ride and having a biker return a wave.

Yes; props to you, courteous unknown cager, who waves us through the intersection.

...like sitting on your reserve fuel for what seems like hours and actually making it to a fuel station before your bike starves.

...like getting a new mod, installing it, then sitting there staring at it for hours... even if it's something simple like new levers.

...like getting close to your exit and deciding to ride down a bit further and taking a detour to get home because you just don't feel like getting off yet.

Like hovering over the striped apex of a fast turn at your local race track.

Like changing part of your riding style after a more advanced rider offers some advice, and feeling how drastically it improves you.

Like improving your track times after each 1/4 mile pass.
