Re: Why Guys with Motorcycles Ride...

I have been a bike rider for many years.

Once when riding west through Texas or New Mexico, on a road trip with no destination and no time frame required. There was a time when I had total freedom and felt the love of speeding along the roads less traveled. I looked down and saw my reflection in the gas tank and I kind of had a zen experience. I still remember that feeling!

OK, I know the highway/safety rules are not followed in this video, But I love this video. I watched every minute of it.

I have have many bikes. In fact, for many years, the only transportation I had was a bike. And that was my choice.

When I was around 19, I drove a bike into the back of a car at 45 mph.

Broke both arms and my leg. They put a six inch plate in my leg, which still hurts at times.


But I was riding a bike again before I was out of all my casts.

I mostly loved Dirt bike types.



But for while I even had one of these! It was amazing to be the different reaction I would get when I rode this around.




And this is what I rode, when I went from Florida to points west unknown, which ended up being Oregon. Too long of a story for here. lol
