[Capo]

And they're off!

[Twolanerider]

Because the touring models are too big to push.

[Johnny]

So I have something to do with all of my disposable income (and them some)!!

[Hoist!]

Ahh, philosiphy! Why are we here?

I know why I'm here! The world's been around over 5 billion years they say. They've only been making motorcycles for over 100! They've only been really good the last 50! (Don't take it personal miker, it's a philosophy thing) I know WTF I'm doing here! It ain't rocket science to me! "I just wanna be free to ride my machine....!"

Hoist!

The chrome (think OCD) and leather steeds we ride are no ordinary motorcycles.

They are a cultural icon, a world-wide, 105 year-long phenomenon,. Part Hollywood idol, part fetish, a love-drug and a charmer. It growls between the thighs, plays music to the ears, and sets the blood throbbing.

At  hundred miles an hour, your leg muscles clench the seat with the effort of maintaining a steady center of balance, the neck jars from resisting the whip of the wind, and your brain is under threat of being vacuumed through your ears.  What can be wrong with that? 

These purring hunks of metal with an attitude definitely rearrange your hormones, and your budgets. Wanna blend in, ride the bus.

As the saying goes:

"If I have to explain you wouldn't understand"

That must be one of the truest statements about riding a Sickel that I have ever heard.

Childhood dream - Easy Rider, Mid-life crisis, the wind in my face, take your pick
but most of all it's about ME.

Money
I ride HD's because it makes financial sense to. My truck gets 16 MPG. MY HD gets 35 or so. With all the money I save on travel expense, I should be able to retire 5 years sooner.

Thing Green
I make less of an impact on global warming riding a motorcycle.

Safety
I feel much safer on a motorcycle than in my truck. In my truck, I get a false sense of security. Seat belts, windshields, enclosed cab etc. In reality that 28 gauge galvanized sheet metal doesn't protect much. On the bike, I know I'm more exposed, so I'm safer.

Tires
In my truck a set of tires last about 40,000 miles, but there's 4 of them. When I wear out tires on the bike, there's only 2.

The little woman
I also ride motorcycle because my wife pressured me into it. If momma is happy, I'm happy.

Posing
I'm actually a delicate wall flower. I'm more of a GQ type of man. Riding a HD makes me feel like a bad a$$ biker. I know bullies won't pick on me if I'm a biker.

[NukeIT]

Why do I ride?

You would think it was because of the Freedom, The ability to move with such grace and ease, (with my two left feet that is a great feat) the Power.

Nope It is because my motorcycle it the only girl that has never complained about me riding her all day and then going out with another girl. She doesn't even mind if I invite another girl to join in on the fun. She lets me abuse her and then she ask for more. She lives and breathes for my personal satisfaction. Hell if California would let me I would marry the girl.

I do it for her.

[RedDevil]

Because I can and because I want to.     Why else?
