Reasons Bikes are better than cars

**Big Dog** · 12th August 2008, 13:43

Bikes are better than cars because:
Instant conversation starter.
You meet a better class of people (present company excepted

).
Your transport is also your hobby.
When you take someone somewhere you actually have to go to great lengths to hear what they have to say. This often results in better conversation at stops.

But ultimately if you have to ask you will never know.

Only funny because you didn't slip and fall in the oil spill I wager - and because you didn't have to pay the repair bill.

Eights or better don't ask if they can come for a ride in your $12K car.

That's why I got into bikes. Poverty is a great motivator.

Growing up watching Knight Rider and playing with hotwheels I didn't know bikes existed.

0-100 in 4 secs? Try 0-250 in around 15-17 seconds..(or less if I'm commited)

I miss my poor old bike...

This was what i thort at first. I know i love bikes and at first that was enough BUT then my mate tried to tell me cars were faster than bikes. After i picked myself up off the floor and managed to stifle the laughter i spent the next 30mins trying without success to explain the glory of two wheels to him.

This was one of my main points in this argument with said friend. I attempted to compare (kinda hard i know) a late model WRX or Lancer Skyline whatever. The way i put it to him i said i could buy a gixer r1 whatever and they would all smoke the cages AND i would still have enough for a nights worth of gambling at sky city, the best room in the Hilton Hotel and a night with Lisa Lewis all the while amped up on P

Joking bowt the P tho hahha

I feel I am with the bike, not just sitting in there and eat lunch or txt to girls during the ride. Everything just feel so much better than a car for me except I am riding my bike in a shitty weather

As my signature says

= Freedom. Nothing compares to the feeling of being on my bike. Best of all its something i can do on my own.

If you do 250m in 17 seconds you must have a really slow quarter
