What Are Your Top 3 Reasons For Riding A Motorcycle?

[JonJeoprdy]

1. Exploration, Nothing I like better than to throw a leg over and point the bike in a direction and see what is over the next hill, and the next and the next...

2. I like the hands on technical nature of motorcycles. With my truck I do the basic maint. and the truck goes. The less I touch it the better, usually. When driving the truck it's autopilot most of the time unless I'm actually out 4wheeling. With the bike the opposite it true. Cleaning and maintaining the bike, lubing the chain frequently, it's very hands on. Also you can't, or at least shouldn't, ever be on autopilot. It's important to stay mindful and keep your skills sharp, in order to negotiate everything from traffic and collision avoidance to carving up an awesome section of twisty road.

3. The feeling of riding, I'm sure we all have our own, for me it's some combination of freedom, excitement, adventure ... the list could go on.

Traffic doesn't matter where I am. No filtering although I do it from time to time. People hate me for it haha

Indeed. When I watch people in other parts of the world or in California I am so envious of them. Every time I get stuck in traffic on the highway I am just waiting for someone to plow into me and it's rather sad....I at least pull off to the side as much as possible.

Scary man, drivers are always too busy on their phones too. Every red light I skip right to the front, saving time and staying alive

Yes it is, no one pays attention. I have a dream....that one day filtering will be legal in the US....one day.

1) Being forced to focus 100% on riding is excellent when I dont want to think about other things
2) I enjoy all the sensory feedback riding provides
3) The 'X Factor'- I can't explain it, but it's the reason we all love riding. That feeling it gives you. So good
