I love transport.
I rode small motorbikes from 15, and got a real buzz and sense of freedom from it. Being able to get about by myself, reliant on no-one, able to feel the thrill of riding a bike. Rode cycles even earlier - so different. You feel the pain in your body grinding away the miles and all your worries. Stopped riding motorcyles for many years and loved cars - yes cars. Having a place to listen to music free from people bugging you, hauling friends about. Great.
Kept on with cycles; commuting 200k week for over 10 years and mountain biking weekends; little racing. Get a bike into the forrest - magic. Took suzuki TSXs off-road too (although was always crap off-road motorbiker. I fear air.)
Now few motorbikes later (5 or 6 & back into motorbikes 1 1/2 or so ago) I'm on my biggest yet. Just a 600, but I never want to be without one again.
I do the same routes on my bike; my cage; my MTB and my road bike and the feeling is totally different on each. Each gives something unique. In fact I hardly recognise the route as the same depending what I'm on.
I wouldn't change having all that world of possibilities for anything.

Ah... Dude - that's not going to work, coz most ladies aren't interested in bikes.
I suggest you buy a car, and a 10" black dildo.

I did - but why stop at 10", mine must be at least 80 - and it has yamaha stamped on the engine

Really? Thats more than a nice date, course you take a chick on a date, you may not get layed, but if you do, it's generally for more than an hour!!


And bikes are really, really cool.

I ride because my better half lets me.

Pilion with dad when we were kids and then riding the brothers bikes (Old dirt bikes etc ) and now 150 odd motorcycles and about 30 yrs later i still cant leave them alone. Ridden them, raced them, wheelied them, smokied them, broken them and about everything in between and still feel best when on two wheels.

I ride because it's a feeling like no other!! driving a car is absolutely no fun at all regardless of being a 1.5L or a 5.4L however the adrenalin of a motorcycle is something that is hard to match!! perhaps flying a fighter jet maybe the only comparison available. (Not that i've ever flown one but i can imagine lol)

[breakaway]

- Fast
- Chicks
- Freedom
- Wheelies
- Everyone thinks you're a badass biker thug when they see your menacing tinted visor

[P38]

I ride for for the same reason I Breathe......


Seems no matter how hard I try not to eventually I can't hold it back any longer and I just gotta go do it.
