You put more miles on your bike than your car each year.

You can't remember the last time you stopped at a gas station. (For
that matter, you had no idea the price of gas had gone over $3.)

You have no idea who makes the "Highlander" or what kind of vehicle it
is, but you know the differences between "Ultegra" and "Tiagra".

A friend of mine has a car on which the driver has to control throttle
(gas if you must), gear change (shift) and brakes all with the right hand.
Makes any road junction somewhat interesting, so the passenger / riding
mechanic makes all the signals to other traffic and acts as rearview
mirror too. At 103 years old one has to make allowances -- and
that's just the car.
