All your worries melt away, you get such a wonderful closeness with life and the world around you.

And a 85 mph adrenaline head rush doesn't hurt either.......

I think, while your riding, you are experiencing a 'one' with nature. The sights, smells, the wind caressing your face and the sound and vibration of your steed roaring through all these things like a proud powerful Lion in the jungle. Hoo har eh!!!....... or have i had to many beers..........................................mmmmmm!

I ask myself why do I ride  as I sit on my bike sometimes ........I think about the cagers , about those that did not come home, about the cost of the bike and the gear, I think about the cold and the rain. Then as I start my bike I answer my own question when she roars to life . The power of the bike, the open road, the smells around you, that sweet smile from a pretty girl, a thumbs up from a young boy, the sound of a v-twin working it's way up a mountain pass or down a country road, it's the "well your back ok " look that warms the soul reminding you your cared for when returning . It's working and customizing your ride to be you then going 80 to see if it works. Riding a motorcycle is like poking a stick at something dangerous.
