How do you know when you are born to ride?

          I was talking to a riding buddy of mine and he asked me "so you think your a true rider?" I said yes without thinking but the question caught up to me later on and I had to ask myself again how do you know? I have been compiling a group of questions and requirements to becoming a true rider and I want to run them by you as another point of view on the subject.

1. A true rider has motorcycles and riding on the brain more then 50% of the day
2. True riders will never pass up a chance to ride as long as it doesn't impede on something important that needs to be done. 
3. A true rider will either have rode across a few states or make plans to one day make a ride across the country. 
4. True riders take rides that can last a whole day more and can span between 200 to 700 miles often. 
5. True riders can do down and get back on the bike again. 

          If we are going to have a list of things that true riders will do then we have to have a list of things that true riders will never do. 

1. True riders will never look down on another rider for ability or type of bike they have. 
2. True riders can look past the stereotype that cruisers and sport bikes cannot ride together and will have no problem going on a ride with the other type. 
3. True riders never go without motorcycles if their circumstances allow it. 

All true riders are friends with and support other riders on the road, they will wave to other riders in passing and look for people to ride with when possible. Of course I cannot come up will all the criteria for true riders and I hope that I can get some input from some other riders.
