I ride because I like the individual freedom of a bike and hate having to travel in a cage.

and it's faster and sometimes I like to show off and it's what I like to do most!

My bike is my first choice of transport every time but I don't always get my own way, damn it. John.

PS: Today I cleaned my bike.

Because I enjoy the freedom and the feeling of being alive and aware of every nuance around me as I zip along.Not like being in a car where you feel trapped and separated from your surroundings.

[fireball]

plus there is no reason good enuff to not ride

Id like to tick "Because I'm not a cage driving chicken shit like my parents" but only the first bit applies. My father is no chicken shit and rode himself for years in his youth and again after I started rideing until his leg was nearly demolished by an errant car at an intersection.

I ride because, now that I'm back on after 13years with no bike, I can't imagine ever being without one again. It's just part of who I am. So much so that now that the car has finally gotten to old to be worth fixing it's out the door with no plans to replace it. It's bikes all the way now for my wife and I!

And as soon as she finishes her PhD and gets a paying job a new bike is at the top of my shopping list.

Because it's fun and it's the only place where I can truely just be in my own head. It's an awesome feeling, I can filter at the lights and well cos I luff it!

My decision to start riding was through the cost of petrol , so it was the commute option for me.

However since I started riding, I have come to enjoy it more and more , and would even go on a social ride if time allowed and I could keep up

I learnt from my dad. He rode into his 80's and I plan on doing the same, if not longer.

Go on the social rides anyways. They can be a lot of fun. I am always at the back, by choice and because most other riders seem to be faster. I have been riding for 40 years... "Ride your ride" is the motto I have had for many, many years.

I ride to get to places, and because it's way more fun than taking the car. I guess I've been doing it for so long it's just a filthy habit as well!

[EJK]

I ride to travel mostly

Oh btw hey YamahaR64Life, the option "TO SHOW OFF" was made for you, why didn't you select it?

[Meekey_Mouse]

I love getting out and about and seeing New Zealand... But I get car sick and I HATE being stuck behind other cars... So bikes kick ass
The hum/roar/scream of the engine, leaning into the corners, twisting the throttle and giggling my head off like a crazy person, Feelin the wind rushin past ya... Why DON'T people ride?

Oh also I just love turning up to random places and taking my helmet off and watching different peoples reactions when they realize I'm a chick Priceless
