Your bike, like a part of your body?

I love that feeling when you realise you're not actually making any concious effort to move the bike. When you're just cruising and it seems as though you've just been thinking where to go.
Not leaning.
Not countersteering.
Hell not even thinking you're looking where you want to go.

You're just on rails, enjoying the ride.

At first I didn't like people touching it as I had saved hard to get it and pay it off. Then as I rode it more and had the feelings of being in the zone or of the freedom it gives me, the bike has become more special to me. There is also the fact that now some people just don't have any respect for your stuff and they may knock it over or not leave it on the side stand correctly or just carelessly scratch it while sitting on it etc. The last thing for me is that some will never get the feeling why the bike is special to you which is why it is good to go for a blat with other like minded individuals. A lesson I learn quickly is even if your bike only falls over it can cost to get it fixed.

Its more an extension of my soul then my body really

It's called bonding. But either way when ya bike is your equal sooner or later it's gonna wanna take charge. It's why my bikes a fella it'll never be top dog. Girls bikes...............they have biffed a few riders in their day. Stay in charge that way you'll stay safe. Now there's an idea for a paint job......a condom.

Ive found that if I think about how Im riding , when Im riding,then it isnt anywhere as smoove as when I just forget about it, look where I want to go then the bike very quickly becomes an extension of myself....so much so that its like breathing, you just do it unconsciously.
Sometimes when Im in the zone its like Im a foot above myself,things slow down seemingly, even though I invariably speed up.
Its my phallic extension.
The more it becomes a part of me my nads get bigger too
