When peeps cannot walk past without saying great bike.. my dad, or I hand one of them back in the day
When you ride up and someone asks, “what is that?!”, even though it says “Triumph” on the tank (and 14 other places).
When you find yourself spending a bunch of time with a bunch of guys you've never met in person (and gals, @Streetgirl675!) on a Triumph motorcycle forum.
When your girl says “you coming in tonight or are you staying in the garage staring at your bike all night?”
.. when you repent not listening carefully during English school class as you need to read the Haynes manual to have the bike working.
