Motorcycle rubber-necker
Lately as I am nearing the half century mark Ive noticed a strange habit I have formed
I noticed that when Im driving in the car I NEED TO LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE MOTORCYCLE I SEE!!!!.
I will slow down, speed up, change lanes, whatever it takes to get a good look at any motorcycle I see on the road - (preferably cruisers and touring)
Ive hurt my neck more than once trying to catch a better look at a bike going by.
The only other time I experience this phenomenon is when I spy a beautiful lady walking down the sidewalk.
Anyone else have this problem? Should I seek therapy? Is there a cure?

Youll probably stop doing this when you finally hit someone or something because youre not paying attention to your driving and looking elsewhere lol.
Dont worry, Im not a hypocrite though, I like to look at most of the bikes and good looking girls I see as well!

ha ha yes we took a 3 hr ride on the freeway to drop my kid off at camp last week. She drove the first half and every time i saw a motorcycle id tell her to speed up and get next to it so i could check it out. She didnt have the same urgency that i did to get next to it. I would be like "cmon speed up speed up, then i would be looking at the pipes on it, the bags, all the modifications...then she would slow down or not stay next to it long enough and i would yell at her again to speed up lol. Shes like "how long do you need to look at that thing?"
