    I ride to escape from self indulgent and mawkish blogging

    Why do I ride

    Don't know really.
    But could be something to do with "freedom" on my "steel horse" that takes me where ever I want to go, that doesn't complain, whine or make me do something I don't want too, goes as fast or as slow as I want and only needs to watered occassionaly at a gas station. And now and then you have to tell it that you love it, and thats makes you feel all the more as one with it.

    Deep as I want to go this thread, more to come..........later

    Because I couldn't afford to get a 13B or 4G63T engine swap done in my car.

    Waving isn't normal on the bus
    Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.

    Originally because I couldn't be arsed push-biking anymore. Had no one to teach me to drive a car so I thought "well a motorbike can't be much different from a push bike" so I got my bike licence. Nearly 33 years later and I've still never owned a car of my own (had a few in joint ownership with Mrs Oakie).

    I like the freedom you get while out on a ride and the way it seems to make you focus and think about every entry and exit of every corner. When the ass steps out now that is some adrenilian you will never get when a car steps out.

    My wife makes me.





    Every time I leave home she waves me off with a happy smile and the tender sounds of, "Have fun dear, the insurance is paid up."

    had to think about this one ....

    I started riding cos I wanted to .. for no other reason.

    I continue riding cos it is time for me to have time for me doing something I just love.
