showing up to work with all the smokers outside watching you

riding in the rain fully geared

waving to a fellow rider going the opposite direction, regardless of what he's riding.

Meetin up with some close buddies to ride with no real destination...
Waving back to the amazed little kids in the back seats of moms mini van lol
The lunch stop where everyone in the group just gets to sit back and shoot the ****, no real rush to get through lunch.
The way the bike looks just after you finish drying her off after a solid wash.
The feeling you get when someone says your bike looks good after you just spent all morning finishing up the new mods.
Warm day spent on some back roads with friends.

(someone said it earlier but farting and not having to smell it is funny but so true lol. Got a kick out of someone other than me thinking that too.)

+1 on the cold tank of gas, espically on that hot day!!

meeting other riders
riding to no destination
missing 2nd, and acting like your reving at the hot chick next to you(and she likes it)
my mirror visor, everybody loves them!
washing my bike all the time, and not ever washing my car (stupid civic)
110hp on my bike compared to 102hp in my car (again stupid civic)
MUCH EASIER FOR THE ******** TO SEE YOU FLIPING THEM OFF
toying with cars that think they are faster than me
going to my buddies house on almost every ride just to make him miss his bike and get another one

got to work today, and this little black chick got off her harley and started talking to me about my bike...never saw a black chick on a bike, well driving one anyways...and she was cool as hell!

Just taking a raod to see where it goes.

Acceleration

Being able to pass a BMW that is trying to race you. Oh did I mention Im on one wheel looking at em while passing em.

Turning around to give a set of twisties another try cause you know you could of did better.

Knowing it's going to be a cold ride home if you don't turn around and head back. but keep going on.

Sitting at a long light and watching the temp come back down after almost over heating after taking off. WHEW!

People always checking out the bike

I'm a lil' older now, so some of my faves have moved up on the list.

Gear, man, I love it. I love putting it on, I love wearing it, I love riding in it, I love walking outside the house in it, I love the way it makes other people pause to notice...the leather gloves, armored leather jackets, stupid beautiful helmets, boots that feel like a second armored skin, OMG I love every bit of it.

+1!

It's funny when a group of you grab some lunch or something and when you walk inside, everyone inside turns around to look

And to add on to the list:
- The feeling of the cool morning air as it whooshes through the helmet and jacket vents, simply beautiful
- A little different, but after a long day of riding (I don't commute on my bike), I love the feeling of driving/relaxing in my car. Then that feeling wears off after a day or two
