Oh, really? That's not what Anne says...

[Kickaha]

the loss of the original concept of motorcycling as a freedom from the shackles of societal imposed restrictions of time and place, that I deplore.

My understanding was that motorcycling was originally more about cheap transport than anything else

But when you go to work at a certain time, dress a certain way so you fit in, pay the bills even if it uses the last dollar, do all the "have to's" even if you don't want to, then freedom at times is in short supply.

There are only two things we all have to do in life; take up space, and die.

Everything else is a choice with consequences.

Maturity has nothing to do with age either...

hellaluya for that!
who really wants to act there age?.

But then you jump on the bike to get away from it all, to actually be free. Leave all worries behind, no phone, be incognito behind that helmet, focus on the riding and let the wind blow all the worries away.

That is freedom. Until that is also tampered with...

it allready is,thems are called speed limits...

The very essence of this thread is hypocritical at best.

Dont get me wrong, I find some of what you sat to ring true, but there's a catch...

Motorcycling is freedom to some of us, and with that freedom comes the catch, that anyone else can feel free to do whatever they want also.

Freedom and the rules that dictate it? A contradiction in itself sorry.
