And Wolf, we have covered this topic a few times before in the past, I remember a couple at least.. but I guess we have a lot of newbs since then, so no harm in another, ay?

Yeah, I know. Was just doing some self-directed pisstaking because my first reaction to the question was "Fuck, where do I start!" - I could see it becoming even longer than my usual posts...

Mum said I had to have a bike,cars were too expensive....

Cars attract car whores, bikes attract chicks in leather

Im into bikes cause of the sense of freedom , power & cameraderie [sp?] they provide. I also see them as rolling art, a way to express myself artistically. With my many & varied figlass parts, I really enjoy creating that certain 'look', including 60's cafe racer styles ,a customised modern day look, a 70's flat tracker or CAMS/BEARS racers etc etc .All it is to me is combining shapes to create a pleasing whole ie kinetic sculpture

That's what I want to do once I get some fibreglass stuff and start learning

[Sniper]

[MisterD]

Yes.

Next question.

It started out as economical transport for me and I found "hey, this is GREAT!" he riding bug got in and burrowed deep - I will lose the bug one day... around about the same time as I lose the ability to breathe.

"Sex appeal" never entered into it, but I did find that some of the chicks I dated did like bikes (I don't think they were interested in me because of the bikes, though.) The feeling of freedom compared with a car, the Zen-like state of total immersion in what you're doing here and now, the economy and the sheer fun of riding a bike.

I'm probably genetically predisposed to enjoy riding bikes - grandfather, great uncles, parents, uncle and siblings all rode/ride bikes. I'd have to be a genetic throw-back to Neolithic times not to enjoy riding bikes.

I've seen a fair few bikes with neons. Hondacmx450's 1100 was like that: "streetfighter" config with shitloads of neon highlighting the engine and wheels, Aluminium box frame polished to mirror finish, anodised bits, plenty of carbon fibre, aftermarket cans - totally pimped ride. My three-year-old heard it roll up and said "Batman bike" - and that was before he came outside and saw all the neon in action.

I just like riding bikes.
