Cuz I have a small penis and a big bike compensates for it.

This isn't going to be a short answer, but I feel it's important to tell it in full.
When I was about 10 my cousin Sam got a field bike, a Honda express, from the first time I rode it I was sure I wanted to ride bikes. For several Christmas and birthdays after I asked for a bike, but never got one. Rather than put me off this made my desire to ride even greater. But I had to watch my cousin move up from the field bike to motocross, and later a moped as well, then a 125. I then brought his moped and did my cbt, and finally had a bike of my own to ride. The plan was that we would both do our full bike test at similar times an then be able to ride together, but we lost Sam in November last year, and from that point on I was 100% sure I would ride bikes for as long as I can. Because he no longer could. As kids we had planned a big trip, to ride for home, to John o groats, to lands end and home again. I dout we would have ever done it. But now I plan to do it as soon as money allows.
In short I ride in memory, because it allows me to escape and because I fucking love it.
Sorry this was so long, but I felt it had to be said.

If that's the case, I'm glad I ride one of the smallest Harleys.Iroquois14 said:
It's not much to brag about, but at least in theory, it's bigger than the rest of the Harley guys'!

I have a smallish bike at the moment, but in a couple of years I hope for the best of both world
I ride off-road because it is the most fun thing I have ever done and I can't imagine anything more fun.
I ride on the street because it is far cheaper in every way than driving a car, and road rash looks bad ass
Bike (plated '98 XR250R) - $650
Insurance - $30 a month
Gas - usually around $3 a week
Maintenance - I could probably rebuild the whole bike in a week and it would cost less than tires for a car or truck.
Hydrogen peroxide and bandages for road rash - A couple bucks every month or so
