Default Why do you ride?

Well im sorry if this has been asked before but i was wondering what you use your bike for.

Some use it to go pick up girls, some use it to take off all the body work and stunt, others just do it because they think it will make them cool, and then there is people who just love the feeling of the knee dragging on the pavement like i do.

Lets posting!

I love to ride. just much better getting around in a congested city then hit the open roads and open her up. the feel is Amazing, even on a stock 600RR. Cant beat it in a car.

One its so much fun. I love the speed. I need that adrenaline rush. It saves me money on gas compared to my jeep that gets 8 miles to a gallon. And soon stunting. Oh and the ladies love it.

I ride because i can..some people arent that coordinated enuff to ride let alone drive a car.I also enjoy the open road after i pass like 11 cars at a swipe at 140 MPH...LOL...but there is a certain fredom in riding that is only rivaled by jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.SO riding is cheaper that skydiving...thats my answer...

I have yet to drag my peg, but it's more for the thrill of it. I ride to ride, not for the attention! I could careless what people think...

Because it gives me an excuse to wear leather and not be called gay for once....

LoL just kidding, i do it for the thrill of hitting the twisties then getting on the open stretch and burying the 100 mark. Plus it's good exercise riding hard through the twisties. The cool factor is just a perk/bonus!

Stress relief, an escape from my reality, funnest hobby I have, it was always a family activity when I was growing up so keeping the tradition alive with my nephews is great, the people I've met and keep meeting, I like to tinker around with the motorcycle, the competition when racing, always learning something new, the challenge of pushing a little bit more and seeing how close to the limit I can get(only on the racetrack), the sound of the motor and exhaust at full song, the smell of race fuel, the list goes on....
