I love hearing all these reasons why we ride.
I wish I'd put more effort into mine. I can't help but think my contribution was tepid at best. Sorry.
I love hearing all these reasons why we ride.
This is an epidemic in modern society: be afraid of anything, thus do nothing. This has lead to the default of playing video games or masturbating to the internet, while gaining massive weight and dealing with diabetes.
slowly but surely, can't walk yet. I'll be back and riding soon enough!OP ^^^^^ this is coming from someone who is recovering from a recent serious crash. That in itself is a reason that can't be put into words.
mr. walczak -- how goes the recovery?
There is something about being a part of the experience. You are a part of the machine. You have to be engaged with the machine to control and maneuver. It's intimate with the environment. Temperature, smell, rain, sun, wind. Having a passenger, they wrap themselves around you. They touch you. The experience is together.
You can feel every input and function of the machine. Throttle response, engine revs, clutch, brakes, tires grip, suspension compression and rebound. Dive into a corner, exit and exhale with a grin.
You have the view of everything. The surroundings. The sky above, the ground below and everything in between.
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if everyone could help me out with a research paper that I have to work on for a sociology paper.
My question to anyone on this forum is why do you ride?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I do ride, I just wanted to see some other peoples reasoning behind it as well
Probably the case for 100% of us. I regret starting so late.
That too.....big time factor for me tho I also love winding through the mountains all on my own a long way from home no matter what the weather...something far more elemental than a Tstorm in a cage.....even smells as you ride - from fresh grass to the cigarillo in the pickup ahead. Very different experience.The camaraderie.
