Describing Motorcycling.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Not everyone is as big and burley as you Dave. That said I have no trouble picking my bike up so long as the tires arn't any higher than the rest of the bike.

Isn't that rule one for buying a bike? Don't get one you cannot pick up on your own.

right, that is me crossing the Gold Wing off the list.

I am a scrawny little person, but I have been able to pick up all my bikes if they have fallen over.... tipping them onto their side, and a good old college try and away they go..... too much welly and they go over the other side...two for the price of one!

Riding a motorcycle is a little like sex, however the orgasm lasts much, much longer on the motorcycle (decided not to put bike there)

Oh and regarding what waylander said about being able to pickup your bike. Its sound advice however not a legal requirement as it is I'm told in Japan.

And your motorcycle doesn't suffer from headaches

I love Jay Leno’s quote when he was talking about riding his jet bike
“Its like the hand of God pushing you in the back”

Okay "getting the knee down", is now officially code for doing the nasty, so be warned and careful how you use it in your day to day intercourse, so to speak lol

Motorcycling is solitude.

It's being alone on a fun machine enjoying the scenery of your choice at a pace you enjoy. Alone or with friends, you have to answer to no-one, no bastard can ring and interrupt, and the best answer you can give is "I'll be about an hour"

In the rain it's the feeling of defeating the elements, frustrating them an inch from your face, just as they thought they'd made it.

In traffic it's the priviledge of having your own lane, and knowing you are responsible for your actions - do something dumb and you'll be hurt and damage the name of yourself and your peers.

In the company of like minded motorcyclists, is the fun of being with people that can relate to what you enjoy. Our community is made of risk takers, some more extreme than others, but risk takers all. Drinking and talking shite with motorcyclists is generally better than drinking and talking shite with most...

When in a group of experienced riders there is the unspoken trust you have with an old friend, knowing you will be considerate and look after them, and they will return those actions in kind. There is a genuine welcome and a kind of recognition given to those new to riding, and and honour in helping them learn.

There is pleasure in assisting those that have fallen, and sadness in those that pass away, but even then, especially then, there is community and the memory of good times offer solace in bad times.

It's not just riding, it's the experience, the machine, the thrill, the people and the community.

That's what it is for me
