1. Ever notice how many for sale ads you see where the bike has tons of aftermarket "performance" accessories but in the picture you can clearly see that the rear tire is squared off and the 10+ year old original? Like, Dude, your bike would handle better if you learned to ride it and put good rubber on it. All those carbon fiber bits and questionable engine/electronics work is lowering the value I'm willing to pay.
2. Funny how easy it is to get a friend with a truck when you're buying a bike from out of state, but once you're moving or something everyone is miraculously busy.
3. You know the guy in the leather vest who tells you that you should get a real bike? Then when you get a Sportster or Dyna or Star 1300 he tells you that you need to trade that in for a real bike. Notice how he has a lone "wolf patch" or "independent" patch and doesn't ride with anyone that has a real bike like he does? Yeah, that dude is a jerk.
4. The look on some dude/dudette's face when they walk into a restaurant and make eye contact with you and you both realize that you/your group blew by their minivan just a few minutes ago and grabbed the last big table, and now dude/dudette's gaggle of brats has to wait to be seated.
5. People are all ears when you're talking about what performance parts to put on their bike but the moment you start talking about tire psi/suspension settings/corner entry brake pressure their eyes glaze over.
