-how can I tell if I live the "biker" lifestyle"?
- wallet chains, yes or no?
- full finger or fingerless glove
- what size and color boot should I wear?
- were can I buy the best jacket?
- what helmet should I get?
- vest patch alignment and proper placement
- riding with shorts is stupid
- Where can I place my gas cap while refueling
- where do I place my end caps when adding air to my tires
- best sweat wicking underwear to wear during hot weather
- how many RUBs does it take to wash a bike
- the best skull ring on Amazon.com

What about...where do I put my dipstick when I'm adding oil? It's always the gas cap.
Does the doo rag flap go in the back, front or side and which side?
