Ok,seeing as how I asked this dumb question I will go first.
I enjoy the feeling of being in charge of my own destiny,When I,m on mi bike the rest of the world ceases to exist.Biking to me has always been a type of escape and a  power trip wound up in one.
I've never been into the poetry of the road thing,but I can see where people who are, are coming from.I often hear people putting the ideal down,but I do strongly identify with the bikes I ride.
This dos'nt mean I have any problems with the riders of any style of bike,But I sure have my own preference in styles.
Bikes to me have always represented an alternative way of doing things that has nothing to do with being some kind of rebel,I mean it dosnt matter what we ride, we have style.Some thing a bit lacking in every day life.don't you think.
OK dribble of the day over.
Your turn.Thumbs Up

coz there is no feeling like it in teh world... total freedom....being part of the picture instead of looking at it in a frame..... getting a corner right on a bike.. no feeling like it....the camaraderie of bikers....the sound of bikes... the feeling like nothing else matters at all ever at that moment in time... when im on a bike... knowing that all car drivers really would love to be bikers but are too scared.... ya see there is a god..... he gave us bikes LOL hahaha

I think a better question to ask people is "why DON'T you ride?"

I'm still learning at the mo, but I always wanted to ride, simply to enoy the freedom that you don't get necessarily with a car.  Also there seems to be such a camaraderie with bikers, that again doesn't seem to be present with cars.   And now I've found my hairy biker man, I can enjoy going to places I've only dreamed of Big smile

The truth is I only go out on nice days to get the wind in my greying hair and to clear my mind - The world looks somehow different on a bike - it's easy to find some perspective. I really enjoyed building this bike (took 13 years ha ha) I do take issue with the reverse snobs who ride in all weathers and pass snotty comments down from their lofty positions. They go all quiet when you ask them if the bike is their only vehicle ;-)

I ride, because when I do I feel alive. somehow more connected to reality, more focused, and I ride because occasionally there is a bloody good party at the end of the journey,  but mainly I ride because I can and I want to.
