I'm just sitting here on the computer thinking about all the reasons I get out and ride my bike. The freedom, the thrill, adrenaline rush, my escape from reality. What's your reasons? I believe we are all a brotherhood on this forum and most of us would do anything for a fellow rider. You guys are all my second family and I enjoy sharing my passion with my fellow 600rr riders!!
1. Second best feeling in the world after sex
2. Because I don't think about the annoying things in life like work or other drama while riding
3. Because you can own something as fast and cool as a Ferrari without having the money to do so
4. I believe you are born with the motorcycle fever in your blood
5. Because bikes are sexy as hell and everyone knows it
freedom
fun
being with others with other interes...
gets me out the house in the summer
cheap on gas...the car stays still
the SPEED...to see a flat open paved road and nobody is there............WOOOO MAMMA!
a lot of it is the rush for me. i play soccer and many other sports/activites to get my mind from other things of daily life. so riding is mainly the rush and the shear power that i control at any given moment when im on my bike. lots of fun with scary moments in it. who wouldnt enjoy that?
I can't speak for anybody else but for me, riding is not "fun". When I think fun, I think going out with friends to some place or an amusement park or something like that.
And I don't need to ride to escape my life. I like my life. If I needed a bike to use as a getaway tool, I would examine what's wrong in my life to make me feel that way.
That said, I love riding. When I ride, on the track specifically, I got a lot of satisfaction out of what I'm doing. When I'm riding to the best of my ability and the bike is doing what I want it to and it almost feels like the bike is just an extension of you, I'm satisfied with that. It's a good feeling but quite different from fun. You don't have to be good at anything to have fun but if I wasn't good at riding, I would not be satisfied and it wouldn't be what most call "fun". Everybody's different. I know Rossi is more of a having fun type rider but Biaggi is more of a satisfaction of riding well rider. I think I'm more like Biaggi in that sense but I'm more of a Rossi fan... hrmmm.
Other than that, street riding has its place and I just like being on the bike sometimes even if I'm not railing on it.
I get the same feeling when I'm riding that I get when I'm shooting my guns. People always ask what it is that makes it so great and I can never give a direct answer because it is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It is everything rolled into one. The excitement, the challenge, the skill, the sheer joy it brings to me. Almost anyone can shoot a gun and ride a motorcycle but not everyone can do it well and that is where I get my satisfaction. I may not be the best but I always making sure I'm doing what I need to do to be the best that I can be.
everything you said......and I can't make my drag banshee street legal in cali...
