So in my search for another bike, I was thinking about just what it is I love about motorcycles. So here are my top things:
- It seems cars are fighting physics to turn. Leaning into a turn just feels right to me. It feels like you are flying at 3 feet above the ground. That’s a great feeling, can’t get enough.
- I love the machine-ness of a motorcycle. When I was young (I was never small), I didn’t want to be a racer I wanted to be a mechanic for a racer. I would love to be Lin Jarvis or Gigi Dill’lgna (without the unibrow of course). To this day I love working on the bike as much as riding it and usually when the mods slow down I’m ready for something new. A lot of people what their bikes simple, pure. Me, I want a better mouse trap.
- I like to ride and just look around. There is something more connected about riding than driving. Pass some flowers and you smell them, pass something else and you smell that too, Lol! Things like knowing how a road changes after rain, or knowing when animals start moving around the area. You just are more aware of things.
