You know your a motorcyclist when.....

You bump your head on the side window trying to look through a corner.

Everyone, especially soccer moms in minivans want to race you stoplight to stoplight.

You are droning across the central valley in 96+ temps in full gear thinking you are on a two wheel dry sauna and needed to lose some weight anyway 

[duckie]

Your cars are dirty, the house and yard needs some work but your motorcycle is spotless and needs nothing.....

Your reply to the wife when she suggest a place to move is......but there arent any roads there....

You go out to eat lunch 150 miles from home.

Your wife, even after 40 years, encourages you to go for a ride when you're maybe not up to it after doing 550 miles the day before.

Then, as she does most every time you're heading out the door to the shop where your bikes sleep, she says "Have a nice ride but this time please try harder to make me a rich widow.".

For the first time ever, I am all Yamaha with a ‘19 Tracer GT, a ‘21 Tenere 700, and a ‘15 Super Tenere in the garage,

You recognize the different sounds, of a v twin, triple, opposed twin, inline 4, or the mighty Honda six cylinder from miles away and you tell whoever you're with even though they never asked you and don't care.

You buy a bright blue t-shirt with the Yamaha logo covering the entire front so that when you walk in some place not carrying your helmet people know you ride.
