+100000000 (infinity) for the above fact. Thanks rennycornelius.

I would say many of us must have done this... I am one of them. In school, I used to take my dad's scooter just to show off, do wheelies n stuff on my friends yamaha YBX. In college, rev my rx-100 even more than the limit on 1st n 2nd gear just to seek attention with that kracking sound. But now, I have grown as a biker and know what an actual biker means. I have evolved as a responsible rider and inspire and ask people for riding safe. I am proud to say that I have inspired almost 5-6 people who never used to wear helmets while riding, but after watching me ride with full gears, talk about my roadtrips, safe riding and Xbhp, they actually got inspired and have bought the safety gears and now they are spreading the art of safe riding and what an actual biker means.

A off topic which i came goggling and here you go, a clear difference between friends and biker friends

FRIENDS VS. BIKER FRIENDS

FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
BIKER FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.

FRIENDS: Will say "hello".
BIKER FRIENDS: Will give you a big hug and a kiss.

FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
BIKER FRIENDS: Call your parents mom and dad.

FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
BIKER FRIENDS: Cry with you.

FRIENDS: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
BIKER FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing and just being together.

FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
BIKER FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it's yours.

FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
BIKER FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you.

FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
BIKER FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds' ••• that left you.

FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
BIKER FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "I'm home!".

FRIENDS: Are for a while.
BIKER FRIENDS: Are for life.

Gray-haired riders don't get that way from pure luck.

You don’t stop riding because you’re getting old, but you get old when you stop riding.

This is nice, like the rest of your write-up, and probably applies to many other aspects of life. I can't understand what exactly people are trying to say by "been there, done that"!? If it is that they are fishing for praise, then, as the saying goes, modesty is the only sure bait...
