Unless you ride, it's hard to explain to non-riders. All they see are the 'donor cycles' or 'it's dangerous' perspective.
It's just something that feels right and it's fun. This isn't a dress rehearsal so better do the things that are fun then spend the next 50 years of your life regretting all the things you didn't do.

chicks... obviously.
slap them
there's no better way to fix a ****** day than hopping on your bike and aimlessly cruising in the middle of nowhere. That's why.
^^^^this guy has a cool mom. Mine doesn't ride and just hates me. :-|Ive had bikes for decades, 1st was its cool, then it was fun and practical, then it was just fun and not practical. Now its just because after decades my Mom still hates that I ride 'em. She rode till she was sixty, but hates me riding.
Describing motorcycles and why a person rides is like describing sex to a virgin .. Sayin' "Cuz it's fun" doesn't quite justify it.... Depends on the type of riding. Freedom comes to mind... Feeling in control of a machine, feeling the wind, being part of the elements, feeling where you are riding. Having a connection between you a machine and the environment ... That's why I ride
I started to ride when I was young -- I grew up in the country and my brothers had bikes (dirt and street). When I was about 8 to 10 my brother taught me to ride his XR80. Three years later I had saved enough to buy my own XR80, and did so despite my Mom's reservations.
Then I discovered freedom. I rode that bike everywhere, and this was before green plates and insurance for offroad bikes was common or mandatory. I investigated local forests, gravel pits, rode around farms, got cops called on me for trespassing and rode through corn fields to avoid them -- good times.
When I was 15 I upgraded to a CR125 and became amazed at what a bike could do. Launch it off a 30' cliff -- no problem. Full throttle through a plowed field -- just lean back and giv'er.
Since then I've pretty much always had a bike, aside from a few gaps here and there of a year or two. I've owned bikes for transportation in Indonesia where I also explored a lot of Java, including many volcanoes, beaches, mountains, etc..
To me, a bike is a source of freedom and adventure. I typically try to follow the law these days, but I know that if I wanted or needed to I can take my bike anywhere and go anywhere. The speed and exhilaration and the enjoyment of the wind in my face and the sights and sounds of the areas I'm passing all just add to it. Then when you finally stop you have men, women, and children say 'Cool bike!', 'you rode that here from Ontario!', 'Looks like fun!', etc, etc, is just the cherry on the top.
There is probably much more that I can add, but that is enough for now. I cannot foresee not having a bike ever again. If I live long enough or become disabled enough that I can't ride a regular bike, I'll be looking for a Ural or similar.
