Bits of it (particularly the paragraph about chicken strips) made me laugh out loud, which is no mean feat.

Nice write-up that. Especially the bit about us all fooling ourselves that we're doing it for the greater good.

Like it, a lot. Says a lot about what keeps us all on two wheels too.

Don't think anyone can put it better than that. Sent the link to Visordown as a suggested guest blog - think it deserves a wider audience.

Excellent share, thank you!

Makes me more impatient for the upcoming film Why We Ride. Think that is the title anyway!

Why do we love reading this stuff so much? Is it to inflate our egos or is it because we just like to quantify our feelings on the subject? In any case, I enjoyed the read. :)

Brilliant, oddly reminicent of having conversations with yorkie as well.
The man speaks the truth... all apart from the last bit, my bike is certainly cheaper than if I were to use a car.
