1. Finally getting a bike after 6yrs of deciding.
2. Putting on that new scorpion helmet that fits like a glove.
3. Opening up your garage when i come back with the car and seeing that hint of blue on the headlight.
4. That first ride after winter storage.
5. Finally learning how to lean further and further and body positioning.
6. Seeing girls look back twice while i wait at a light.
7. Standing up on the pegs after a long ride and feeling that nice wind cool down your swamp *** (my fav)
8. Finally having someone set up my suspension.
9. Riding to lunch at work and having everyone stare at your helmet.
10. That HUGE grin on your face after you take any nice corner/sweeper.
But the #1 thing i hate the most.
1. Picking up a piece of metal in your rear tire after buying 2 new tires and only riding 700mi![Mad](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/mad.gif)

bump for a good thread
-The smell of bike exhaust (am I weird because I like it?)
-The sound of that idle
-Coming up to a stop sign, stopping, looking both ways, and riding off... all without putting your feet down.
-The ability to open up the throttle and pass someone... in 200 feet![Big Grin](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
-looking down at the speedo and realizing I'm 20 over the limit... without even realizing it
-the biker wave
-The attention
and GILL already said it, but the roller-coaster hills... we have a local road here with a ton of them... I love it![Big Grin](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

good post guys youve said most of mine but ill add a few
-looking at your wife riding ahead of you and thinking "god im a lucky man"
-i love the pitch and whine as you work your way up/down through the RPM range
-just feeling the wind and going wherever your spirit takes you
-NOT HAVING TO PAY FOR MARRIAGE COUNSELING.
when me and the wife is at each others throats we gas up, gear up and ride, at the end of it we are actually being civil to each other.

riding through a huge open field and feeling the cold air rush accross you even though your fully geared up.
snapping on the throttle and feeling the front end get light and set it back down and remembering to respect the bike
getting to break in a new set of rubber and getting rid of the chicken strips
