Different smells while riding

[hXc]

Random idea for a thread but when you're riding you're met by a few smells. Which ones do you like and which ones don't you?

I don't like silage(sp?), cattle trucks and diesel.
I like pine, fresh cut grass and the sea.

I don't like farts in my leathers as they drift up to my helmet.

Edit: Does anyone else find it hard to squeeze the cheese on their bike? I really have to stand on the pegs and stick it out to one side to let a little squeeker out.

Don't like Meatworks...
Like fresh rain smell, thunderstorms smell, pine as you say, the sea and the fresh smell of super early in the morning, if it is cold, but not wet.

Edit: Hate the smell of wanky boi racer in front puffing away on the biggest doobie you can imagine... Fungin hate smell of weed...

I HATE the smell of wet road.

I love the smell of a two stroke ahead of me....Which isnt often cause im always the one ahead

[Buster]

Fresh rain on a warm day, and two stroke fumes

I HATE the smell of wet road.

It's not wet road. It's hot wet road. I know what you mean though, it's horrible actually

I like the smell of... Av-gas being burnt, Beer in my helmet, tire smoke and hot oil.

Cant stand the smell of Rororua

Agreed! Usually it's easier if you're cornering, as you have half your arse off the seat anyway. Well, I do

weirdo ....

The smell of a female on heat looking for a studly biker.

I am partial to the sweet smell of Jet Fuel on cool clear mornings, the aromas to be had driving in the country (and past the Indian Neighbours place when they have a good curry brewing!)

Farting whilst riding - havent quite mastered that yet, would rather focus on the job at hand than poking a turtle-head out into my Dri-Riders (The whole turtle would be worse, but you couldnt call it a fart then eh!)

I can't stand silage. Smoke is yukky, either smokey diesels or people trying to burn big piles of damp god-knows-what near the side of the road.

I like grapes. We were riding through Eskdale on Friday and I got a whiff of this grapejuice smell, and then noticed that all the vines along the side of the road had fat black grapes on them. Mmm red wine...
I like the wet road smell.

Rich mixture on cold startup good, two stroke smoke even better

[limbimtimwim]

Oh yesssss.. I like the smells. Stop smoking for a couple of weeks and notice dozens more.

I like the 2 stroke smell. Especially if it getting stronger, means I am catching up.

Petrol smells from a badly combusting bike, getting stronger, means I am catching up. It is impossible, I know, but I swear bikes smell different from cars.

Diesel, means slow down, so one does not rear-end the tractor (Usually carrying an implement with fuckloads of sharp bits) or hit the spill.

Takeaways. I don't stop for it, just smells good. KFC smells the best.

Farm smells. Cow poo. I'm a city boy, so a farm smells good.

Grass. Good.

Pine trees. Good.

The other grass from the car in front. Good.

Ciggies, car in front. Good.

JET FUEL. Lovely. Always smells good near the airport.

I could go on forever. The only bad smelling thing really is the soap factories in Petone. Always a new bad smell that conquers the previous bad smell.
