| It's something only other bikers seem to understand. None of my mates ride and despite my best efforts they just can't get their head around why we do it. My dad is the only one in my family who rides aswell, I got down to his after a 70 mile journey last Friday in the pouring rain and strong winds. As I was backing the bike into the shed in the back garden he came out to help me out and the first thing he said was: "Had fun then?"
I was soaked but still felt better than I ever did driving down in the car.
That's what it's about, feeling good about yourself, about the world and being able to share it with those that understand it. Yeah - life is good

| Because it's wrong, we know we shouldn't do it and we know it'd be much easier in a car.
but the feeling you get rocking up somewhere on your bike especially this time of year to have every look at you thinking your an absolute headcase, even the other bikers do it before they realise they're riding themselves.
I do it because it's hard and I love the feeling of riding, if I wanted an easy life I'd have stayed at home and watched tv. 
If at first you dont succeed, skydiving isn't the sport for you.

| | We do it for all the above reasons and ........................... BECAUSE WE CAN !!! It's one of the only little pleasures life can bring that our sh1tty government have not taken away from us ( yet ) The only people that " look on in amazement " at us " nutters " on two wheels are those that have yet to experience it - those of us that DO ride can only look on with a knowing admiration and a quick nod to say " I love it too " !!!

| I've posted on here before about the uncle of a long ago ex-girlfriend who once summed it up for me. Now long gone but in his day a biker who rode makes now also long gone like Rudge, BSA, AJS and James, he once said to me, "Micky, anything else is just transport".
If you are what you eat, I'm cheap, fast and easy.

| | Currently sitting here with broken leg with metal pin in it after getting knocked of by cager (their fault). Currently plotting up on what bike will replace the one written off in the accident. . . Nuff said. . .

| | I do it because I'm NOT mad. It's the most sensible way for me to get around (although part of my argument for it being the most sensible way is because it makes me so happy doing it, and other forms of transport generally make me grumpy). All the "character building" stuff (riding in the wind, cold, rain, etc) gives you a great buzz once you've finished, and it's good to push yourself every now and again, but as far as normal journeys in normal conditions goes, I'm riding because I'd be crazy NOT to
