Are You Obsessed with Your Motorcycle?

At RC Components, we love our motorcycles and we know our customers do too. There’s nothing better than riding down the highway with a cool autumn breeze at your back. To be honest, it takes people a while to recognize the signs that they’ve become a full-fledged member of those truly in love with riding a motorcycle. This got us thinking about the common habits and signs of those who are obsessed with their motorcycle.

You Take the Long Way Every Time

Sure, you could head home on the most direct route, but where’s the fun in that? The mark of a person obsessed with their ride is the willingness to go out of their way just to stay on their bike a little bit longer. Hey, you might even be the type that is happy to get lost for a bit. After all, with GPS on your phone, it’s incredibly simple to find your way back to your house, even if you’re on country roads three counties over.

Your Bookshelf is Full of Motorcycle Magazines

Sure, you might have a copy of “War and Peace” sitting on the shelf, but be honest — it’s collecting dust. The rest of your bookshelf is full of old copies of your favorite motorcycle magazines sandwiched between manuals, how-to guides, and DIY repair books. The mark of a true die-hard motorcycle enthusiast is a passion for all things motorcycle. Magazines are just the tip of the iceberg.

You Ride for Any Reason at All

Whether you’re running errands, or need to decompress after a long day at the office, your motorcycle is always your first choice of transportation. Heck, you’re probably even willing to ride in bad weather. After all, your leather jacket and your helmet will keep you dry enough on your ride! Who ever said that weather had to stop you from enjoying your ride?

You Hit the Track on the Weekend

Sure, housework is important, and your laundry won’t wash itself, but you’d rather spend your weekend at the track, watching other riders travel at dangerously high speeds down some seriously smooth asphalt. Even if you’re not the type who enjoys riding at breakneck speeds, you still get an incredible sense of enjoyment out of every race you watch.

After Work, You Work on Your Bike

No matter how long of a day you had, you’re always happy to get grease under your nails. Rather than watching the evening news, you’re out in your garage or shed tinkering with your bike. Why waste time sitting inside when you can work to improve your bike’s performance?

You Customize Everything

Your ride is a reflection of you and you want it to look its best! You’ve customized the handgrips, foot pegs, passenger running boards, and even upgraded your saddle. There are catalogs on your nightstand where you’ve bookmarked your next upgrade. You’re already planning out which parts to replace next and have your eye on a new air cleaner from RC Components so your bike will run more efficiently. Once you’ve upgraded everything on one bike, you know you’ll just have to get another to fix up!

Your Car Sees More of the Garage than it Does the Sun

You use your bike for everything and as a result, you neglect your car. Or maybe you’ve even taken the next step and decided to sell your four-wheeled vehicle. Either way, as long as you have your bike, you’re a happy camper.
